The solution above is no longer applicable for large conversions. iTextSharp has since switched to version 7, and paid. The only solution would be to programatically create a PPTX file through OpenXML.

Not true! iText7 has 2 version of licensing. Community is based on AGPL. More at: iText site.
BTW: OP did not mention that he/she wants to use it for commercial purposes.

Solution 1

Get a copy of the iTextSharp/[^] library, to read the PDF files. You will need the Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint [^] classes to write the ppt files.

Sorry, but I have no experience of this library. If you have a specific code problem then post a new question with fule description, the failing code and any error messages or status codes.

uhm...I used Pdfbox to read a pdf file...but I had problem :
PdfDocument pdfdoc = PdfDocument.load(filename);
PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();
return stripper.getText(pdfdoc);
Problem:
- The type or namespace name 'PdfDocument' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly referrence).
- The name 'PdfDocument' does not exist in the current context.

Well, that message is quite clear; add the correct reference to your project, and the associated using statement to your source module. These are basic C# issues which you should understand if you are developing C# programs.

I added reference in your project and using library but it had errorr
