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.
