Yesterday, I sent an email asking how I convert a pdf file in to Powerpoint. I received a response today, but merely telling me how to pdf a Powerpoint file. I need to know how to convert a pdf file in to Powerpoint, please.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

Sorry for the confusion. You can use the Insert command and Insert from File in PowerPoint. This option inserts the PDF as an image file much like you might insert photos on PowerPoint slides.

If you are talking about converting a PDF to a PowerPoint file where the text and objects appear similar to other files you create in PowerPoint, you can't do it. You need to copy/paste text and add images like any other slides you create in PowerPoint.
