No listing found on a page search for "Powerpoint" or "pps".


I see PDF in your list link.

MS PowerPoint -------------- Adobe Illustrator (Open)
Print to PDF


Provided the software emulation of a printer that generates a .pdf file
results in a PDF document that is very close to the original Power Point
(.pps) content. I've never bothered using Power Point so I have no
experience what printing to PDF might produce for input from Power Point
to output as PDF. The OP could try to test what results he gets.

If PDF conversion (from Power Point) works well, Illustrator also
supports output to PDF, so there would be no degradation due to further
file format conversion.

None of this really matters. Adobe Illustrator is a vector-based
graphics program, while PowerPoint "collects" files in various formats
to assemble them into a presentation. They're completely different in
almost every regard, so compatibility would be both unlikely and
unnecessary. Having used both programs for decades (since their
creation, in fact), I'd say that even wanting to do such a thing is
rather curious and misguided.
