Why this tool?
This free PDF to PPTX Converter tool bridges the gap between the security of PDF files and requirement of PPTX files for presentations, due to the limitation by event organizers not to support PDF files.
PDF files are truly benefical to use as presentation file format. The elements in each slide do not move and there are no other dependencies. PDF stands for Portable Document Format, and its aim is to make sure that its content looks remains the same regardless of operating system or computer hardware. As a bonus, PDF files tend to be significantly smaller than other presentation file formats.
PPTX files are a presentation file format which allows for additional features such as transitions and video embedding. Most of the additional features are often unnecessary for a good presentation. PPTX files generally large and have as significant downside that any dependencies, such as usage of non-system fonts, need to be provided seperately in addition to or embedded into the PPTX file. PPTX files do not "lock" the look and feel of each slide, as a result elements may resize or move depending on the computer hardware or operating system. In addition, when sharing a PPTX file the receiving party can intentionally or accidently change content when opening to view the presentation. This is not possible with PDF files.
If you need to share the PPTX file with someone else, e.g. event organizers, you can directly forward the email with the download link.
