Not sure what you need it to do but I'd just export the PDF pages as jpg from Acrobat, and import them into PP. It's going to look like shit cause it's PowerPoint anyway ;)
- eh... would result in too large a file, best to attempt a recreation or tell client it's prob not worth it at allmonospaced

The only reason they would request this is so they can make changes to the document using PPT, in which case the original design wouldn't last more than a few minutes anyway. In my experience, you have two options. Either build the damn thing quick-and-dirty in PPT for them, or try to dig down into their reasons for asking for it, and try to explain why they might not need it in the first place.

Thanks -
it is a big document (300page+) that needs to be set into pp for internal editing purposes on selected sections.
bit of a logistic nightmare, but it needs to be done. I was hoping to export it in full then delete the non relevant pages. rather than starting to set a whole new document up in PP.
research shows the new acrobat can do it and Iskysoft do a version.
any experience anyone?

If the 300+ page PDF needs only 'internal editing', can the client/client team just use the Acrobat editing tools, e.g. sticky notes tool, high lighter, etc?
- lol at the idea of a client a) having acrobat pro, and b) knowing what to do with it if they didhans_glib
- Adobe Reader which is free, it lets you comment & annotate: http://www.adobe.com…pang
- Annotate documents with a complete set of commenting tools that includes sticky notes, highlights, lines, shapes, and stampspang
- ... and stamps. The tools are v straight forward & easy to use. Our clients manage to use no probs.pang

Could you potentially use this (requires payment):
https://www.acrobat.com/exportpd…Convert PDF to Word and then possibly export from Word into PP?
(Unfortunately, I cannot test this so I'm just thinking out loud. Plus, I'm guessing all formatting will go out the window know MS products)
