## Convert PDF to POT in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can import PDF pages as slides and save the resulting presentation in the binary POT format used by PowerPoint 97-2003 presentation templates. The conversion does not require Microsoft PowerPoint or a PDF viewer.

## Convert PDF to POT using Python

Create an empty `Presentation`, remove its default slide, and call `addFromPdf` to import the PDF pages. Then call `save` with `SaveFormat.Pot` to create the POT file.

### Python code for converting PDF to POT

```python
presentation = Presentation()
try:
    presentation.getSlides().removeAt(0)
    presentation.getSlides().addFromPdf("document.pdf")
    presentation.save("presentation.pot", SaveFormat.Pot)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
```
