Convert Illustrator to PowerPoint & Keynote With Recosoft IR2Office

I saw some software at the CreativePro Week conference in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago that was really exciting and I wanted to share it with you: The new IR2Office tool from Recosoft that lets you convert Illustrator CC files to either PowerPoint or Keynote files.

Many designers create artwork in Illustrator and need to get it into slide presentations, but until now there have been very limited options for this workflow. Sure, you could export a PNG or some other static file format and place that. Or you could copy and paste. But in most cases, the artwork would either change or become un-editable.

You may be familiar with Recosoft’s ID2Office tool (which lets you convert InDesign layouts to Word, PowerPoint, or Keynote), or their excellent PDF2ID tool (which converts PDF files to editable InDesign files). So it’s no surprise that they would expand their offerings to Illustrator users.

This is definitely worth checking out!

Here is their press release for IR2Office:

Osaka, Japan, June 21, 2018 – Recosoft Corporation the creators of PDF conversion software and workflow automation plug-ins for Adobe® InDesign® has shipped IR2Office 2018. IR2Office is a new tool to convert Adobe Illustrator® files to Microsoft® PowerPoint® and Apple® Keynote® formats.
