When we need to present ideas, we do that by either using PowerPoint or PDF documents. But a simple PDF can be too wordy for the audience and a PowerPoint can be too graphical.

There are a bunch of tools in the market that can solve this problem including Microsoft Office, WPS Office, etc. Let’s find out how the WPS office can help us in our quest of adding a PDF to PowerPoint.

Add PDF to PowerPoint by Inserting It as a PowerPoint Object

Note: This process is applicable on both, browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Android Web, Firefox, Opera) and application (Desktop and Mobile), versions.
1. Before you are ready to add your PDF to the PowerPoint presentation, you need to make sure you are done editing your WPS PDF file, since you won’t be able to edit the PDFs via Powerpoint.
(Using this method, you are only creating a shortcut of your PDF file into your WPS Presentation for them to open quickly.)
2. Once you have finalized your PDF document/file, you need to open your PowerPoint presentation using WPS software.
Note: Be certain that your WPS PDF file isn’t opened in any other program. If it is opened, Powerpoint won’t be able to use it yet.
3. Move to the Insert tab, and click the File Object option, as given in the image below.
4. This will open a window on your screen. Using that window, Select the PDF file you need to insert into your WPS Powerpoint presentation and click open.
5. Once you have added your PDF to your PowerPoint presentation, feel free to adjust its size or move it around to place it in the desired space on the slide.
Also, in case you want to hide it while showing the slide, you have the liberty to place it outside the slide area.
Kudos, you’ve added your PDF file to your WPS PPT. Now if you want to see if it works fine or not, double-click the PDF object in your WPS presentation to see if it is opening easily or not. If it does, you are ready to present it. If not, repeat the same process.
