## Convert PDF to XML in PHP

[**Aspose.Slides for PHP via Java**](/slides/php-java/) can import PDF pages into presentation slides and save the resulting presentation in PowerPoint XML Presentation format.

The generated XML represents a presentation and preserves the imported pages as slide content; it does not extract the PDF's logical structure into a generic XML schema.

## Convert PDF to XML using PHP

Create a `Presentation`, remove its default slide, import the PDF pages with `addFromPdf`, and call `save` with `SaveFormat::Xml`.

### PHP code for converting PDF into XML

```php
$presentation = new Presentation();
try {
    $presentation->getSlides()->removeAt(0);
    $presentation->getSlides()->addFromPdf("document.pdf");

    $presentation->save("output.xml", SaveFormat::Xml);
} finally {
    $presentation->dispose();
}
```
