PDF to PowerPoint

Like the PDF: every chosen page becomes a slide of the page's own size (or a 16:9 slide with the page fitted in), the page's rules, boxes, logos and pictures sit behind the text as one picture per slide, and every block of text is a text box at its place - one paragraph per line with the line spacing set exactly, so nothing reflows - in the size, weight, slant and colour the PDF used, with a PowerPoint font of the same name where there is one. You can click into any box and retype it. Nothing is uploaded; the conversion runs in your browser.

A PDF has no paragraphs, only lines at positions. The tool stacks lines into blocks where they line up and keep their pitch, so a heading, a body paragraph and a table column each become a box of their own - which is what you want to move around on a slide. A very long text box can be selected and its lines cut and pasted into a placeholder.

Only with a text layer. A scan that has been through the OCR tool converts like any other file; a scan without one has no text to give - the file list says so and points at OCR. With the page graphics on, the scan itself still comes along as the slide's background.

The PDF's fonts are not copied into the deck (they usually aren't licensed for that). Each run keeps its size, bold and italic, and gets the PowerPoint font of the same name where there is one - Times, Arial, Calibri, Georgia and the like - otherwise a font of the same kind; the letter spacing is adjusted so the substitute fills the width the PDF drew.
