After converting PDF to PPTX in Google Drive file is corrupted and can only view first slide
It seems I'm having an issue converting a PDF to a pptx in Google drive. Originally I wanted to convert a PDF to a google slide but, it will only go from pdf -> google doc.
Since I've had luck going from pptx -> google slide. I thought I would have better luck going that route. The issue is after converting from PDF to pptx it seems that the file is corrupted. I can view the first slide but I am not able to open it as a Google slide.
This is what I have for getting the pdf as a pptx
Drive.Files.insert({title: 'test.pptx', mimeType: MimeType.MICROSOFT_POWERPOINT, parents: [{id: ID}]}, powerPoint.getBlob())

What make you think that Google Drive API is able to convert a PDF to PPTX? What app was used to create the PDF?

@Rubén I exported it out of adobe indesign. I assumed you could because you can go from pdf -> doc. My end goal is to be able to upload pdfs then run a script to normalize them within google slides.

We can convert PDF and image files to text with Google Drive as is described Convert PDF and photo files to text but AFAIK there isn't any official doc that mentions the conversion of PDF to Google Slides.
Instead of using the Google Drive services you should use a library or another service that offer that kind of conversion.
