import com.spire.pdf.FileFormat;
import com.spire.pdf.PdfDocument;

public class PDFtoPowerPoint {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //Create a PdfDocument instance
        PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument();

        //Load a sample PDF document
        pdfDocument.loadFromFile("sample.pdf");
