Edit a Microsoft PowerPoint thesis PDF
A thesis goes through several final touches: a typo found at the last minute, numbering that must start after the front matter, a signed approval page to insert and a repository file size limit. If it was made in Microsoft PowerPoint, you can edit the PDF itself. Each text box on a slide is edited on its own and keeps its alignment. Charts keep their shapes; only their text labels change.
How to do it
- 1.Open the thesis PDF exported from Microsoft PowerPoint in MythosPDF.
- 2.Click the text you want to change and type.
- 3.Press Enter to save, then Export PDF.
What people change in a thesis

How Microsoft PowerPoint writes PDFs
