do you know any way to unlock the PDF presentation which is password
protected without having the password. And data can be copied or
converted to powerpoint presentation. I heard you can get a shareware
software which can break the password protected pdf file.

Hmmm, we don't have a means yet
to give out an email for use here.

Any chance you can put a file up
on a ftp of yours or a webspace
provided by your ISP?

Or maybe something like:
[ http://www.xdrive.com/index.jsp ]
[ http://www.freewebspace.net/guide/diskstorage.shtml ]
[ http://www.all-the-free-space.com/ ]
[ http://www.swapdrive.com/ ]

thanks

Dear destinationindia-ga,

PDF files use a very weak form of security that can be bypassed with
the right utility program.

First use this software to crack the password:

You may then convert the PDF directly to Power Point with this
software:

For even more PDF/PPT converters:

Search Strategy:
crack pdf password
convert pdf to ppt

Happy cracking!

Dear destinationindia-ga,

I have just learned that Google Answers does not allow me to post my
email address to send private files.  The information I have provided
here should be enough for you to crack and convert your file.  If you
still need assistance please post the file on a public web site where
I can access it.

Sincerely,

Tim / sweetcaro333-ga

As a last resort, if you don't have any need to edit the resulting
file at all, you can
1. Take screenshots of the PDF page by page (using Alt-PrintScreen)
2. Paste them into a picture editing program (like Adobe Photoshop or
Microsoft Paint (which comes with Windows))
3. Crop the browser out of the picture
4. Save them as a bitmap, or gif
5. Insert them as pictures into a Powerpoint file

yes but my pdf file is locked for copy, unable to copy

One of the tricks that I have tried is to convert the PDF file into a
PS file (this is trivial if you have access to a linux/unix box with
pdf2ps and ps2pdf filters) and convert the PS file back to PDF. This
has worked for me but the resulting PDF file did not have the same
quality (resolution of images etc) as the original. You can use one of
the techniques listed above to convert the "cracked" PDF file to a MS
powerpoint file.

Drawbacks :
-Need access to PDF <-> PS filters
-Resulting image resolution may not be the same as the original

Hope this helps.
