## Convert PDF to XML in Python

[*Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET*](/slides/python-net/) lets you import PDF pages into a presentation and save the result as a PowerPoint XML Presentation. Use `SlideCollection.add_from_pdf` to create slides from the PDF pages, then call `Presentation.save` with `SaveFormat.XML`.

The output is a single XML presentation file that contains the imported pages as slides. This workflow does not require Microsoft PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat, or another presentation application.

## Convert PDF to XML using Python

Create a `Presentation`, remove its default blank slide, import the PDF pages, and save the presentation in the PowerPoint XML Presentation format.

### Python code for converting PDF into XML

```python
with slides.Presentation() as presentation:
    presentation.slides.remove_at(0)
    presentation.slides.add_from_pdf("document.pdf")
    presentation.save("document.xml", slides.export.SaveFormat.XML)
```
