These will be interpreted poorly when they are brought into Flash.

PDF is a print-friendly format so it is very popular in the office filed. PDF is the formats that can run at different operating system include Windows, UNIX, and Mac. If you want to read the PDF file, you can download the adobe reader from adobe’s official site for free. But if you want to convert your PowerPoint to PDF format, you should download the Adobe Acrobat or some other software like DeskPDF. But this method can’t remain the animations, sounds and video clips original from your PowerPoint.
