    Really? Been a minute since I have done a presentation, but:

    Pandoc PDF to Markdown.

    Markdown to paste into your favorite HTML presentation tool.

    Nobody is stupid enough to still use Powerpoint right? Right?

      Or the ‘modern workflow’ version of tell the AI you want to convert the PDF, so it burns a bunch of tokens installing pandoc and converting it for you!

      Unless mandated by the corporation (which are the same people forced to use AI for absolutely everything now)

        Mandated to use PowerPoint? That would suck. Html markdown presentations are easily shared, require no additional software and make so much sense.

        Oh right, “make sense”. Nevermind, I get it. The corporate world has no time for that!

          Yup, can attest. It sucks. Unless the application is listed on our approved app list I can’t even request it. Let alone the months it can take IT to get around to installing it for me.

            Any markdown render will do. VSCode, pandoc, heck many web pages, etc.

            You just write in markdown.

            Edit: unless you meant pandoc, but I don’t think it requires an install either.
