PDF to carousel: turn report findings into editable slides

Extract text from a report, keep page references, and build an editable carousel around the findings you want to explain.

From your source to slides

A report summary needs the finding and its limits. Upload a text-based PDF and review the AI draft. After accepting the outline, compare its linked passages with the original PDF and check the reading order before designing.

Use a text-based PDF with up to 30 pages and a 15 MB file limit. Scanned and encrypted PDFs are not supported; OCR and chart reconstruction are not included.

1

Upload a text-based PDF

Choose a report with selectable text. For a longer document, use a relevant section with the context its findings need.

2

Check the source passages

Compare the draft with the original pages. Check column order, captions, units, dates, and any qualifications around a finding.

3

Explain the findings in slides

Edit the accepted outline into up to 12 slides. Review text fit, save the design, and export a PDF or PNG ZIP.

Explain one report finding with its context

Build a sequence around the report question, one finding, the group and period it describes, a limitation, and a recap. Keep PDF page references available while editing. This workflow summarizes extracted text; it does not turn each original PDF page into an image slide or reconstruct its charts.

Questions about this workflow

Can I convert a scanned PDF into carousel slides?

CarouselDraft requires selectable text. Scanned, image-only, and encrypted PDFs are not supported. Use a text-based original or paste a permitted text version; OCR is not included.

How big can the input PDF be?

Use a PDF of 1–30 pages and up to 15 MB, with 80–120,000 usable extracted characters. The finished carousel supports up to 12 slides. Choose a relevant section of a longer report.

Before you export

  • Keep the group, unit, and time period with each number.
  • Compare extracted text with complex PDF pages.
  • Remove interpretations the report does not support.
