From a PDF

Bring your PDF into a web deck.

Upload a PDF and Decktrace keeps it page by page inside a web deck. Its text is extracted, so questions and reading data work on every page. PowerPoint import is coming soon.

A PDF, Sales_Deck_FINAL_v7.pdf, becomes a web deck. Before: a crowded page titled Harbor Logistics Account Review, with six small bullets and a 3D bar chart. After: the same page kept as it is inside a web deck, with a box to ask about the page and a note that its text was found. Pages, text, questions and reading data come with it.

Page by page

Your pages stay exactly as designed.

Your PDF is kept page by page inside a web deck, just as you exported it. Rebuilding pages as editable web pages, from a PDF or from PowerPoint, is coming soon.

  • Keep your pages: the original Harbor Logistics page shown exactly as exported, inside a web deck. Beside it are a box to ask about this page, a reader's question, Which two lanes are new?, and the owner's reply, Rotterdam and Gdansk.

    Keep your pages

    Your PDF pages appear exactly as they were designed, inside a web deck. Readers ask on the page they are on, and you see how each page is read.

    • Pages exactly as exported
    • Text extracted from every page
    • Questions and reading data on every page
  • Coming soon: rebuild as editable pages. The rebuilt page, Win the renewal in Q1., open in an editor with the title selected for editing, a font and colour toolbar, and a phone preview where the same page reflows into a single column.

    • PowerPoint files too

What you get

Every page, with its text.

Decktrace keeps each page as exported and reads the text on it. That is what lets readers ask about a page, and lets you see how each page was read.

  • Every page, in the same order
  • Text extracted from each page
  • Questions and reading data on every page
Four things Decktrace does with a PDF page. Pages: page 3, Freight Claims by Quarter, is kept as exported. Text: the line Q4: 29 claims is found on the page. Questions: a reader asks Against which year? about the line Down 38% this year. Reading data: page 3 shows 0:41 of active time.
