PPSM to PFM conversion is the process of transforming a Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Show file saved with macros and the PPSM extension into a PFM presentation format. This conversion typically extracts slide content, images, text, and animations (when supported) and repackages them into the PFM format for use in PFM-compatible presentation software and viewers.
