Inserting a PDF into PowerPoint is a quick and easy way to add PDF content to your presentation. However, you cannot edit the PDF content directly, and the quality of the PDF file may be reduced.

Converting a PDF to PPT gives you more flexibility to edit the content of your presentation and add multimedia elements. However, the conversion process can take longer, and the results may not be perfect.
