pdf2pptx

Utility to convert a PDF slideshow to Powerpoint PPTX.

Renders each page as a PNG image and creates the resulting Powerpoint slideshow from these images. Useful when you want to use Powerpoint to present a set of PDF slides (e.g. slides from Beamer). You can then use the presentation capabilities of Powerpoint (notes, ink on slides, etc.) with slides created in LaTeX.

I use this to present PDF slides on a Surface Pro so that I can annotate them with a stylus as I present.

Uses PyMuPDF and python-pptx to do the hard work.
