pdf_to_pythonpptx_task_prompt

PDF -> python-pptx Recreation Task Prompt Template

Reconstruct an editable pptx in python-pptx from the rendered result of the target PDF.

Inputs

• Target PDF: {{target_pdf_path}}
• Per-page target PDF previews: {{preview_dir}}
• Reusable image assets: {{assets_dir}}
• Optional source files, if available: {{source_code_paths}}
• Output directory: {{output_dir}}

Task Requirements

1. First analyze the layout and visual primitives of each page in the target PDF.
2. Extract a set of reusable python-pptx helper functions.
3. Rebuild 2 to 3 representative slides first to validate the style and layout strategy, then expand to the full deck.
4. Rebuild every slide using those helper functions.
5. You must export:
   • the generation script
   • pptx
   • a validation PDF
6. You must perform at least one sampling check that includes:
   • the cover slide
   • one method slide
   • one result slide
   • one summary slide
7. If overflow, clipping, or tables breaking out of cards appears, keep fixing the deck instead of stopping at the first draft.

Reconstruction Priorities

1. Page structure
2. Title hierarchy
3. Card and block system
4. Image-to-text proportion
5. Color and emphasis relationships
6. Detail shadows and whitespace

Outputs

• recreate_*.py
• *.pptx
• *.pdf
• recreation_notes.md
  • Which elements were rebuilt with shapes/text
  • Which elements directly reuse original image assets
  • Which capability limits still remain
  • Which slides used style simplifications for stability
