OfficeIMO.PowerPoint.Pdf exports OfficeIMO.PowerPoint presentations to PDF through the first-party OfficeIMO.Pdf engine. It also imports logical PDF tables into editable PowerPoint table slides.

Install

dotnet add package OfficeIMO.PowerPoint.Pdf

Quick start

using OfficeIMO.PowerPoint;
using OfficeIMO.PowerPoint.Pdf;

using var presentation = PowerPointPresentation.Open("deck.pptx");
presentation.SaveAsPdf("deck.pdf");

Examples

Export with slide-content controls

using OfficeIMO.PowerPoint;
using OfficeIMO.PowerPoint.Pdf;

using var presentation = PowerPointPresentation.Open("board-review.pptx");

var options = new PowerPointPdfSaveOptions {
    IncludeHiddenSlides = false,
    IncludeSlideBackgrounds = true,
    IncludePictures = true,
    IncludeTextBoxes = true,
    IncludeTables = true,
    IncludeCharts = true,
    WarnOnPictureAspectRatioDistortion = true
};

presentation.SaveAsPdf("board-review.pdf", options);

Export to bytes or a stream

using OfficeIMO.PowerPoint;
using OfficeIMO.PowerPoint.Pdf;

using var presentation = PowerPointPresentation.Open("training.pptx");

byte[] pdfBytes = presentation.SaveAsPdf();

using var stream = File.Create("training.pdf");
presentation.SaveAsPdf(stream);

Review conversion warnings

using OfficeIMO.PowerPoint;
using OfficeIMO.PowerPoint.Pdf;

using var presentation = PowerPointPresentation.Open("complex-deck.pptx");
var options = new PowerPointPdfSaveOptions {
    IncludeCharts = true,
    IncludeAutoShapes = true
};

var result = presentation.TrySaveAsPdf("complex-deck.pdf", options);
if (!result.Succeeded) {
    foreach (string diagnostic in result.Diagnostics) {
        Console.WriteLine(diagnostic);
    }
}

foreach (var warning in options.ConversionReport.Warnings) {
    Console.WriteLine($"{warning.Source}: {warning.Message}");
}

What it maps

• One PowerPoint slide to one PDF page using the slide size in points.
• Slide backgrounds, text boxes, supported pictures, supported tables, supported charts, and basic auto-shapes.
• Text box fill, outline, margins, font defaults, alignment, vertical anchoring, rich runs, and hyperlinks.
• Supported JPEG/PNG pictures through the shared PDF image pipeline.
• Conversion warnings through PowerPointPdfSaveOptions.Warnings and PowerPointPdfSaveOptions.ConversionReport.

PDF table import

SavePdfTablesAsPowerPoint(...) extracts logical tables from a PDF and writes editable PowerPoint table slides. This is useful for review decks and migration workflows where the source PDF has table-like content that should become editable again.

using OfficeIMO.PowerPoint.Pdf;
using OfficeIMO.Pdf;

var imported = PowerPointPdfConverterExtensions.SavePdfTablesAsPowerPoint(
    "financial-statement.pdf",
    "financial-statement-tables.pptx",
    new PdfPowerPointTableImportOptions {
        PageRanges = new[] { PdfPageRange.From(2, 5) },
        MaxRows = 400,
        MaxRowsPerSlide = 18,
        MaxColumnsPerSlide = 6
    });

foreach (var table in imported) {
    Console.WriteLine($"Page {table.PageNumber}, slide {table.SlideIndex + 1}");
}

Boundaries

• Presentation modeling stays in OfficeIMO.PowerPoint.
• PDF layout and writing stay in OfficeIMO.Pdf.
• This package should remain a thin adapter over shared PDF primitives.
• Complex slide fidelity gaps should be reported through warnings and deeper docs rather than broad README claims.
