Can Typeform populate powerpoints/pdfs with responses | Community
Skip to main content

hi,

we are considering using Typeform in our company if it can fulfill our requirements:

Can Typeform dynamically update a specific PowerPoint slide and/or pdf?

not generate a PowerPoint or pdf based on the answers from the form, but if i have a PowerPoint/pdf template, where certain slides/pages sections are left blank and are filled based on some of the answers of the form. is this possible?

e.g i have a blank text box on slide 4 of my powerpoint. i want this text box to be filled with answers from a specific question in the form once the form is submitted by the user, is this possible?.

 

thanks for any advice!

Hi @knowlec welcome to the community 😊

This sounds like a cool set up, I believe something like this is possible using Google Slides, but I’m not 100% sure if it can also be done with Powerpoint.

Tagging @john.desborough to see if he’s got any hot tips! 


@Grace @knowlec - nope.. not today, at least into the pptx world. 

 

you can do this with Google Sheets, Slides and Document Studio - to merge the data into the Slides and then save as a pdf. For my work, I use this process and display the PDF in presentations rather than convert to ppt (which you can do if you have the Adobe’s tool (or another))

@Grace @knowlec - don’t have any wisdom in the MS world to do this.. 

what i do is use Google Sheets, Slides and Document Studio add-on to merge data in to a Slides template and save it as a PDF. I use the pdf for presentations. 

If i need to convert into ppt from that point, i have Adobe’s tool to convet pdf into ppts.

Thanks for sharing @john.desborough 😊

@knowlec would it be possible for you to go down the GSuite route for this, or does it need to be Powerpoint specifically?


thanks @Grace and @john.desborough for your input and recommendations.

Unfortunately we are tied to MS office products so it appears we will have to figure out another route internally.

kind regards


Thanks for confirming @knowlec  if anything changes we will definitely let you know!


@Grace , did you resolve this?


Hey ​@Vince Molinaro as far as I’m aware this still isn’t possible. ​@Liz I don’t suppose you’ve heard any updates?


No, I’m afraid it’s not a feature on the roadmap at the moment, ​@Vince Molinaro . However, I definitely would suggest seeing if there would be any way to utilize Document Studio for this!
