About This Tool
Convert PowerPoint and OpenDocument presentations to PDF using LibreOffice in headless mode. Preserves slide master, fonts, images and animations (flattened to the first frame).
Why Use This Tool
- Deck distribution — Send uneditable PDFs instead of PPTX files
- Archival — Store presentations as portable PDFs
- Thumbnail pipelines — Render a PDF and then rasterize slides as images
- Review workflows — Share decks for comment without requiring PowerPoint
Frequently Asked Questions
Are animations preserved?
No — PDF is static. The first state of each slide is rendered.
Fonts missing?
Unknown fonts fall back to the server font set. Embed your fonts in the PPTX for perfect fidelity.
Can I pick slide ranges?
Not yet on this endpoint — use the generic `/convert/document` endpoint with `pages` for page-level selection after rendering.
