# Converting PDF documents to PowerPoint presentations

Convert PDF to PowerPoint when you need to reuse document content in slide decks. This workflow helps you:

- Reuse existing PDF content in presentations

- Keep layout consistency across formats

- Reduce manual copy-and-rebuild work

- Produce editable `.pptx` output for presentation updates

[Download sample](https://www.nutrient.io/downloads/samples/java/pdf-to-powerpoint-document.zip)

## Use the Java SDK for conversion

Use the Java SDK to convert PDFs into editable PowerPoint files while preserving document structure.

## Preparing the project

Define a package and create a class for this conversion flow:

```java

package io.nutrient.Sample;

```

Import Nutrient Java SDK classes. Prefer explicit imports for the classes you use:

```java

import io.nutrient.sdk.Document;
import io.nutrient.sdk.exceptions.NutrientException;

public class PDFToPowerpointDocument {

```

Create a `main` method and declare `NutrientException`:

```java

    public static void main(String[] args) throws NutrientException {

```

Then add the SDK-specific conversion logic.

## Proceeding with the conversion

Use the `Document` class and initialize it with a [try-with-resources statement](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions/tryResourceClose.html) so resources close correctly:

```java

        try (Document document = Document.open("input.pdf")) {

```

After opening the PDF, call the export method to generate PowerPoint output.

## Loading and converting documents

Load the source PDF and export it to `.pptx`:

```java

            document.exportAsPresentation("output.pptx");
        }
    }
}

```

## Error handling

The SDK throws `NutrientException` when conversion fails. Handle this exception in your app for custom logging, retries, or fallback logic.

## Conclusion

You now have a complete PDF-to-PowerPoint conversion flow in Java. Download the [sample package](https://www.nutrient.io/downloads/samples/java/pdf-to-powerpoint-document.zip) to run this example as-is.
