SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires python-pptx, Pillow, matplotlib, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Creating a presentation from a research paper is time-consuming and error-prone when consolidating figures, tables, and equations. This skill automates the process by generating a ready-to-deliver PPTX deck from Marker outputs or raw PDFs, preserving content order and metadata.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a PowerPoint deck with a title slide (paper title, authors, APA citation, DOI, abstract) followed by one slide per figure, table, and equation.
  • Accepts Marker-converted folders or direct PDFs, enabling one-paper or multi-paper batch decks.
  • Optional modes include excluding tables and/or equations, or enabling experimental figure-caption capture for richer slides.
  • Use Case: a researcher wants to share a summarized, presentation-ready version of a paper with colleagues in minutes.

Quick Start

Create a PPTX deck from a Marker output directory or a PDF by running the provided wrapper script.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a research paper PDF into a PowerPoint presentation?

You can convert a PDF into a PowerPoint presentation by running a provided wrapper script that generates a PPTX deck with slides for each figure, table, and equation. It requires Python 3.10+ and the python-pptx package to parse and render content into presentation slides.

Can I automatically extract figures and tables from markdown to create slides?

Yes, you can extract figures and tables from markdown to create slides by processing Marker-converted output directories. The tool parses the folder structure and generates a polished PPTX deck with individual slides for each extracted visual element.

Does this tool generate title slides with paper metadata and APA citations?

Yes, the tool generates a title slide containing the paper title, authors, APA citation, DOI, and abstract. It automatically extracts this metadata from the input PDF or Marker output to create a complete opening slide for your deck.

What is the best way to batch convert multiple papers into PPTX decks?

The best way to batch convert multiple papers into PPTX decks is by utilizing the tool's multi-paper batch mode. This mode accepts multiple Marker-converted folders or direct PDFs to generate separate presentation decks for each paper.

Are there options to exclude tables and equations from the generated slides?

Yes, there are optional modes available to exclude tables and equations from the generated slides. You can configure the script to omit these specific elements, allowing you to generate a customized PowerPoint deck focusing only on figures.

Do I need Python and marker_single to parse PDFs for PowerPoint slide generation?

Yes, you need Python 3.10+ and the marker_single-based workflow to parse PDFs and render content into PPTX slides. The workflow also depends on the python-pptx, Pillow, and matplotlib packages to process the presentation visuals.
