1. Open the PDF that you want to convert. Make sure you are using Adobe Acrobat to open the PDF.

2. On the right side of the screen, click on "Export PDF."

3. From the menu, click on "Microsoft PowerPoint," then click "Export."

4. In the pop-up window, select a location to save the new PowerPoint and type in a name for the file. Click "Save" when you are finished.

5. The conversion process may take a few minutes, depending on how large your PDF is. Once it has finished converting, you will be able to open the new PowerPoint presentation.
