Admin reply: That’s a really good question, Karen, but for the most part, the answer is no, at least not without a lot of work that probably won’t end up being worth it.
The reason is that the PDF file doesn’t retain all the formatting and positioning information that was stored in the original PowerPoint, so you might be able get the slides into PowerPoint, but it won’t recognize layout elements, titles, textbody, etc., and some elements won’t be able to be edited. One helpful web site described it well: “If the PDF came from PowerPoint in the first place, why is it so hard to convert it back?. Turning a PPT into a PDF is like turning meat, veggies, spices and water into stew. Turning the PDF back into a PPT is like turning the stew back into the original meat, veggies, spices and water.'

'when you convert the PDF back to PPT, you'll get the text in the right place (usually) and correctly formatted (generally) but it'll be a plain text box, not real title text in a title text placeholder. The individual graphic shapes on the slides may have turned into a single bitmap image that can't be ungrouped for editing. This isn't the fault of the PDF to PowerPoint conversion; it's simply that the PDF, though it may look like the original, is NOT the original and doesn't contain the information needed to reconstruct the original.” (from This also means that when you import from a 2-slide per page PDF, it puts two “slides” on each PDF page because it’s treating them as text boxes, not individual slides. It takes a lot of duplicating pages, deleting elements, reformatting, etc., to even get the PowerPoint to sort of look right, and even then it doesn’t act right.
Hopefully sometime soon there will be an easy way to do this conversion.
