Convert PDF Files to PPT Files in Python.
Convert PDF Files to PPT Files in Python.
There are several libraries in Python that can be used to convert PDF files to PPT. One popular library for this task is python-pptx. Here's an example of how to use python-pptx to convert a PDF file to a PowerPoint presentation:
1. First, install the python-pptx library:
Copy code
pip install python-pptx
2. Next, import the necessary modules:
Copy code
from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches
3. Create a new PowerPoint presentation:
Copy code
prs = Presentation()
4. To convert the pdf file to image, you will also need to install additional library 'pillow'
Copy code
pip install pillow
5. Import the necessary modules from pillow
Copy code
from PIL import Image
6. Open the PDF file and convert it to an image using pillow
Copy code
with open("sample.pdf", "rb") as pdf_file:
img = Image.open(pdf_file)
7. Add the image to the PowerPoint presentation:
Copy code
blank_slide_layout = prs.slide_layouts[6]
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(blank_slide_layout)
left = top = Inches(0)
height = Inches(7.5)
pic = slide.shapes.add_picture(img, left, top, height=height)
8. Finally, save the PowerPoint presentation:
Copy code
prs.save('sample.pptx')
This is a basic example and you can add more functionality like looping through multiple pdf files, handling exceptions, and more. You can also use other libraries like PyMuPDF and PyPDF2, depending on your use case. These libraries can also be used to extract text and images from the PDF file and add them to the PowerPoint presentation.
