Importing from PowerPoint or PDF

Question

What's the quickest way to turn individual PowerPoint slides or PDF pages into individual Confluence pages. I can't see a macro to do this and have tried various exports from PowerPoint and Acrobat Pro.

My only solution so far is manual pastes, but copying and pasting many elements on many slides or pages into many Confluence pages is very time-consuming.

Any advice gratefully received.

Andy

@Sattesh M I'm looking for a tool/plug-in for converting powerpoint or pdf files into Confluence pages too.  I wanted to check if there any tools/plug-ins to do this.

That's a good idea. I'll try it. Thanks, Sattesh.

Hello Andy,

There's no option to upload and convert powerpoint or pdf files into Confluence as pages as of now, and I could not find any add-on that does this, but there might be one out there I've missed.

We can only upload the files, and just preview the attachments in a Confluence page.

But since we can upload Word doc files, and convert those to pages, maybe you can convert the pdf and powerpoint files to word files first, and upload them to Confluence after that.

Do let me know if this helps, and if you have any questions, just let me know.

Cheers,
Sattesh
