Presentations from Seidat to PowerPoint

Sometimes there might be a need to get your presentations to PowerPoint. With this work-around you can do it quite easily.

Direct transfer is not possible

Direct download from Seidat to PowerPoint is not possible, however, there is a workaround how you can transfer presentation from Seidat to PowerPoint

(PDF->PPT->Import PowerPoint)

Download the presentation as a PDF from sharing tab.
Use smallpdf.com or a similar service to convert the PDF to PowerPoint file. Choose PDF to PPT in smallpdf.com
Once you have to PowerPoint-file you can edit the PowerPoint normally.

If the font you were using in Seidat presentation is not found in PowerPoint, the fonts will change to the default. The change in fonts may cause some line-breaks to fail, and the fit of the text might need some re-adjustment.
How objects work in Seidat and PowerPoint is a bit different, this can cause some objects to display differently or even disappear. You should go through the PowerPoint presentation trough before presenting.
If you open the PPTx-file with any other application than PowerPoint, the result of the conversion can be different.
Seidat presentations are in 16:9 aspect ratio and the PDF will be also in this aspect ratio. Make sure you choose your PowerPoint to be the same aspect ratio for the best result.
