Convert PDF Slides to PowerPoint Presentations with **Vector Graphics** (highest resolution).

## ✨ Features

- 🎯 **Vector Graphics** - Maintains highest resolution in generated PPT
- 📝 **Metadata Conversion** - Preserves title, author and other metadata
- 📐 **Auto Detection** - Automatically detects slide size and aspect ratio
- 🚀 **Easy to Use** - Simple command line interface with beautiful output
- 📄 **Page Selection** - Convert specific pages with `--pages` option
- ⚡ **Parallel Processing** - Speed up conversion with `--parallel` option
- 🔍 **Dependency Check** - Automatically checks for required tools
- 🎨 **Web UI** - Modern web interface with drag-and-drop support
- 📡 **REST API** - FastAPI server with async processing
- 🔧 **MCP Support** - Model Context Protocol for AI integration
- 🐳 **Docker Ready** - All-in-one Docker image available

## 🎯 Motivation

- **LaTeX** users can easily convert [`beamer`](https://ctan.org/pkg/beamer) slides from PDF to PPT
- **Typst** users can easily convert [`touying`](https://typst.app/universe/package/touying/) slides from PDF to PPT

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Option 1: Command Line (pipx)

```bash
# Install via pipx (recommended)
pipx install pdfslides2ppt

# Convert PDF to PPT
pdf2ppt input.pdf output.pptx
```

### Option 2: Web UI (Docker)

```bash
# Pull and run
docker run -d -p 8000:8000 neosun/pdf2ppt:latest

# Access at http://localhost:8000
```

### Option 3: API Server

```bash
# Install with server dependencies
pip install "pdfslides2ppt[server]"

# Start server
python -m uvicorn web.app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
```

## 📦 Installation

### Prerequisites

- **Python >= 3.9**
- [**pdf2svg**](https://github.com/dawbarton/pdf2svg) - for PDF to SVG conversion
- [**Inkscape**](https://inkscape.org/) - for SVG to EMF conversion

### Install Dependencies

**macOS:**
```bash
brew install pdf2svg inkscape
```

**Ubuntu/Debian:**
```bash
sudo apt-get install pdf2svg inkscape
```

**Windows:**
- Download and install [pdf2svg](https://github.com/dawbarton/pdf2svg) and [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org/)
- Add them to your PATH

### Install pdf2ppt

```bash
# Recommended: Install with pipx (isolated environment)
pipx install pdfslides2ppt

# Or install with pip
pip install pdfslides2ppt
```

## 📖 Usage

### Basic Usage

```bash
# Specify output file
pdf2ppt input.pdf output.pptx

# Auto-generate output filename (input.pptx)
pdf2ppt input.pdf

# Verbose mode
pdf2ppt input.pdf --verbose
```

### Advanced Usage

```bash
# Convert specific pages
pdf2ppt input.pdf -p 1-5,7,9-11

# Parallel processing (4 workers)
pdf2ppt input.pdf -j 4

# Force overwrite existing file
pdf2ppt input.pdf output.pptx --force

# Keep temporary files for debugging
pdf2ppt input.pdf --no-clean
```

### Command Line Options

```
usage: pdf2ppt [-h] [-v] [--verbose] [--no-clean] [--no-check] [--force]
               [--pages PAGES] [--parallel PARALLEL]
               [--pdf2svg-path PATH] [--inkscape-path PATH]
               input [output]

positional arguments:
  input                 Input PDF file
  output                Output PPTX file (default: input.pptx)

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit
  --verbose             Verbose output
  --no-clean            Keep temporary files
  --no-check            Skip SVG filter check
  --force, -f           Overwrite output file if exists
  --pages, -p PAGES     Page range (e.g., "1-5,7,9-11")
  --parallel, -j N      Parallel workers (default: 1)
  --pdf2svg-path PATH   Path to pdf2svg executable
  --inkscape-path PATH  Path to inkscape executable
```

## 🔧 Technical Implementation

1. Convert PDF to SVG using `pdf2svg`
2. Convert SVG to EMF using `inkscape` (due to python-pptx limitations)
3. Insert EMF into PPT using `python-pptx`

## 🛠️ Tech Stack

| Component | Technology |
|-----------|------------|
| Language | Python 3.9+ |
| PDF Processing | pypdf |
| PPT Generation | python-pptx |
| PDF to SVG | pdf2svg |
| SVG to EMF | Inkscape |
| CLI Output | rich |

## ⚠️ Known Issues

### Transparent Background

Elements with transparency are not fully supported due to dependency limitations. You will receive a warning when such issues are detected. You can manually copy the generated SVG to fix the problem.

See [#1](https://github.com/neosun100/pdf2ppt/issues/1) for more details.
