literature-review-ppt-builder

To convert a literature review markdown file into a PPTX presentation, this Skill parses structured ppt_content.md and applies a predefined Template.pptx. It automatically integrates figures extracted from your source PDFs to produce a complete, ready-to-present PPTX file.

To extract figures from a PDF and embed them into research presentation slides, the workflow coordinates figure extraction directly from the provided PDF files. It then assembles these images onto the appropriate slides during the PPTX generation process using your template.

Yes, you can use your own PPTX template for automated literature review presentation generation. The builder applies a predefined Template.pptx located in the templates directory to ensure your output PPTX matches your desired visual formatting and style.

To generate a PPTX from markdown for a research talk, you need three inputs: a structured ppt_content.md file for slide content, the original PDF documents for figure extraction, and a PPTX template to define the presentation's visual layout.

Both python-pptx and pptxgenjs are utilized to assemble markdown into PPTX slides, coordinating parsing, image extraction via Pillow, and template application. This combined approach ensures robust end-to-end generation of conference-ready research presentations.

If extracted PDF figures are missing when building a PPTX from markdown, it is likely because the source PDFs were not provided or accessible. The workflow requires both the structured ppt_content.md and the corresponding PDF files to successfully extract and embed images.
