Convert Your P D F To Power Point

The appropriately named Convert PDF to Power Point does exactly what it says.What you need to do is to upload your PDF document, enter an email address for it to be received at, and wait a minute or two. You’ll get an email with a link to download your new Power Point file.

The service is free but they do state a limit of just 3 pages, although when I tried it out, I actually got my whole 10 pages. For anything longer you would most likely have to break the PDF document up, but there are other free tools online that can help you do that, like Split PDF.

The best part is that the Power Point presentation file you receive is fully editable. I imagine this is something that would come in handy for students or for last minute changes when you’re not by your computer.

How to Create a Download PDF Link

Instructions
Educate the Reader

1. Open your HTML file for editing.
2. Locate the tag   and navigate to the location on the page following the   tag where you want to display the PDF link.
3. Type the following:

text  

 Click to open or right-click and select "Save As" to download.

Substitute the name of your PDF for "file.pdf" and your desired link text for "text." This HTML code assumes the PDF file is in the same web server directory as the HTML file. Otherwise, substitute for "file.pdf" the full URL "http://www.your-domain.com/foldername/file.pdf" using your own domain and folder name.

This option educates readers and allows them to make the decision about whether or not to download and save the PDF.

Changing the File Extension

1. Compress the PDF file. Most operating systems have a built-in capability to compress files. For Windows, right-click on the file, choose "Send To," "Compressed Folder." Using the Mac operating system, Control-click on the file, and select "Create Archive."
2. Upload the compressed archive file to your host server in the same directory as your HTML file.
3. Open your HTML file for editing. In the "" area, type"

text

  substituting for "file.zip" your file name and for "text" your desired text label. Browsers do not automatically    open zipped files but instead direct the reader to save them.

Add a Command to the .htaccess File

1. Locate or create the .htaccess file in your web folder on your host's web server.
2. Open the file using a text editor.
3.  Type the line:

             AddType application/octet-stream .pdf

             Save the changes and overwrite the previous .htaccess file.

  4.     Edit your HTML file and type in the  section:

text

Substitute for "file.pdf" your file name and for "text" your desired text label. This HTML code assumes the PDF file is uploaded to the same directory as the HTML file. Otherwise, substitute for "file.pdf" the full URL "http://www.your-domain.com/foldername/file.pdf." using your own domain and folder name.

With this method clicking the link will always open the browser's download dialog window rather than opening the file for viewing in the browser.

Tips & Warnings
Back up your HTML file before editing.

The .htaccess method is not supported by Microsoft-based web servers.
