## Convert PDF to PPSM in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can import PDF pages as slides and save the resulting presentation as a PPSM file. PPSM is the macro-enabled PowerPoint Open XML Show format and is intended to open directly in slide show mode. Because PDF documents do not contain VBA projects, the conversion transfers the page content but does not create macros.

## Convert PDF to PPSM using Python

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

### Python code for converting PDF to PPSM

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