freeware requied: PDF to PPT converter!

Is there a freeware out there that does this for me? I've found a coupla products, but they want me to buy it!! I have a 550-page document that I have to go through for a test. It'd be great if I could convert it in to ppt (as I want to use those particular slides later on). There's no other shortcut as of now. So, if someone could point me in the right direction, it'd be great!!

Thanks!!

How does that have anything to do with his problem? He is not ripping a cd.

I don't know of any tool to convert pdf to ppt. I had to do this recently at work, fortunately it was only 25 pages. But what I ended up doing was opening the pdf in Preview (OS X) and saving each page as jpg and then pasting that into a powerpoint slide.

Well, I guess this isn't for OS X Tiger, but anyway (for SNGX and other Mac users):

For long PDF files you could create an Automator task: Render PDF Pages as Images -> Rename Finder Items (make sequential filenames).

Then you could create a macro for PowerPoint to insert images as slides.
