Using this strategy, you will be able to pull up your whole PDF in the middle of your PowerPoint presentation, which may be extremely helpful when it comes to providing data regarding the subject that you have chosen.

Before moving forward, check to see that your PDF is not currently open in any other application. If another software has the PDF open when PowerPoint is trying to use it, PowerPoint won’t be able to use it.

1. With the PowerPoint presentation you’ve chosen already open, navigate to the slide where you wish to put the PDF file.

2. Navigate to the tab labelled “Insert,” then click the “Object” button. If you do not see the Object choice, it may show up as a smaller icon that does not contain any text; it appears like a blue box that is contained within a white box. It will be accessible through the “Text” sub-menu when it is ready.
