This wikiHow teaches you how to turn a PDF file into a PowerPoint presentation file. There are a couple of different free online sites which you can use to convert PDFs into PowerPoint presentations. Keep in mind that scanned PDFs, such as documents which you scanned into a computer, cannot be turned into editable PowerPoint presentations.

Warnings

If you convert a group of images into a PDF, you won't be able to turn the PDF into a PowerPoint presentation as the conversion process technically creates a "scanned" PDF.
