Click the Convert All tool; the converted file appears in Excel or PowerPoint.

Tips

To convert multiple files, use Convert Assistant independently of Excel or PowerPoint.

export area icon

Use the Export Area tool in Power PDF at Advanced Processing > Export to export only part of a page. This is useful for Excel to just export tables without other page content, and for preparing slides in PowerPoint, where a full PDF page contains too much material for a typical slide.

Notes

Convert Assistant can export to XLS or XLSX file types. Choose Generate Office 2007/2010 output to set the XLSX file type.

Convert Assistant always exports to PPTX. To handle these files with PowerPoint 2002 or 2003, you must have the Microsoft Office 2007 Compatibility Pack installed on your computer. This can be accessed from the download section of the Microsoft website.
