How to Convert PDF to PowerPoint for Free

While the PDF format is great for a lot of things, it definitely has its limitations. One of the most frustrating aspects of a PDF file is the fact that it cannot be easily edited. It’s great for archiving documents and sharing them as is with others, but you can’t really make any revisions to them.

Microsoft PowerPoint, on the other hand, is a great and easily editable format that many people use when putting together presentations. Archiving your old presentations and slideshows for later use or reference can easily be done by converting your slideshows to PDF, but if you want to access them again and edit them, you are going to have to convert them back to PowerPoint.

Thankfully there are plenty of free online tools that will enable you to do just that. Of course, Cometdocs is one of them. Whether you are using the online interface or our desktop app, converting PDF to PPTX is easy to do with Cometdocs.

When using the Cometdocs web interface, simply click on “Upload” to find the PDF you want to convert. If you want to use a PDF file you have stored in your Google Drive or Dropbox account, you can click on “Import files from” and synch your cloud account with Cometdocs.
