How To Convert PDF to PPT - Online and Free

ConvertPDFtoPowerpoint.com is a nice free online service which can convert your PDFs to PowerPoint slides. The service is totally free and does not require any sign up.
Just upload your PDF and your email address. The download link of the PPT file will be sent to your email.
The file will remain on the servers for 24 hours-make sure you download your file before that.




Overall I really liked this service. As a trial I uploaded a 20 page PDF having pages in portrait format.
The resultant PPT was just like the original PDF.
I would suggest that you should format your page size, according to how you want in the final PPT file.
As for the benefits their home page says more of it:

How To Insert HTML in Blogger

If you try to insert HTML in Blogger, either you will get some jumbled text ot nothing at all.
This can be solved by inserting the corresponding ASCII code of the HTML test. To get the ASCII code you can either use a HTML editor or go to any one of the website which provide ASCII code for HTML.

I have discussed both these options here.

1. Use a HTML editor: Here I have used Microsoft FrontPage. You can use any HTML editor which shows the code view and the browser preview. I will suggest NVU , its free.
In Microsoft FrontPage while you are on the Design view type the HTML text you want to use in Blogger. Now go to the Code view. You will notice that Microsoft FrontPage has replaced the HTML with its ASCII code. Screenshots shown below will explain more:



This is what you will get in the CODE view

Copy this code for use in your blog.
2. Another method is to go to any one of these sites and find the ASCII code the HTML text you want.

Yellowpipe Internet Services



ASCII.cl

Here is what you will get on this website


Next Step:

  • Go to Blogger Post where you want to insert this HTML text/ASCII code.
  • Switch to the 'Edit HTML' tab.
  • Paste the required code wherever required.
  • Preview and if its what you required, Save the post.
  • Note that the Compose mode will still show the ASCII code, you will notice the changes in the Preview window.
