Question 1

What does this tool do?

Accepted Answer

It extracts text from your PDF using a pure-JS PDF parser, generates a valid ODP (OpenDocument Presentation) file — a ZIP containing mimetype, META-INF/manifest.xml, content.xml, styles.xml, and meta.xml. Each PDF page becomes one <draw:page> slide with a title (first non-empty line) and bullet points (remaining lines). The result opens in LibreOffice Impress, OpenOffice Impress, and Google Slides.

Question 2

How are slides structured?

Accepted Answer

Each slide is a element in content.xml. We place a at the top for the title (styled with a bold 28pt font), and another below it for bullet points (12pt body text). The frames are positioned using ODF's cm-based coordinate system (origin top-left). The page size is configurable (16:9, 4:3, or A4 portrait).

Question 3

What extra features does this tool have compared to others?

Accepted Answer

10 extras: (1) Drag-drop input. (2) Page range selector. (3) Two slide layouts (title + bullets / bullets only). (4) Three aspect ratios (16:9, 4:3, A4 portrait). (5) Custom slide master background color. (6) Configurable body font size (10–32pt). (7) Stats — slide count, word count, character count. (8) Live preview of the first slide's XML. (9) Conversion history in localStorage (last 10). (10) Shareable URL with conversion options.

Question 4

What PDF features are supported?

Accepted Answer

We extract text from PDF content streams. We don't extract images, vector graphics, fonts, colors, or layout positioning. The first non-empty line per page becomes the slide title; subsequent lines become bullet points. Multiple consecutive blank lines collapse to one paragraph break.

Question 5

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. All PDF parsing and ODP generation happens in your browser. File contents never leave your device.

Question 6

Why use ODP instead of PPTX?

Accepted Answer

ODP is an open ISO standard (ISO/IEC 26300). It's preferred by governments and organizations that require open formats. ODP files are typically smaller than equivalent PPTX files. Use PPTX if you need maximum Microsoft PowerPoint compatibility.
