Convert a PowerPoint presentation to PDF

Use jetformat ppt to-pdf to convert a PowerPoint presentation to PDF.

By Jetformat

Each slide becomes a PDF page. Animation and transition behavior are not part of the static PDF, and native charts are not rendered yet.

Steps

  1. Start with a local PPTX. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat ppt to-pdf board-deck.pptx -o board-deck.pdf

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--font-dir Extra font directory; may be repeated
--output Output PDF path; defaults to the input basename

Check the result

Run pdf info to compare pages with slides, then render representative pages to check fonts and layout.

Notes and limits

This operation uses page-based credits. Review the billing guide before processing a large document.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat ppt to-pdf --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the ppt command reference for the surrounding workflow.
