IR2Office is a plug-in for Adobe Illustrator which converts Illustrator (.ai) files to the Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynote formats while maintaining layout accuracy. IR2Office is a new tool to convert Adobe Illustrator® files to Microsoft® PowerPoint® and Apple® Keynote® formats. Osaka, Japan, J– Recosoft Corporation the creators of PDF conversion software and workflow automation plug-ins for Adobe® InDesign® has shipped IR2Office 2018. Here is their press release for IR2Office: So it’s no surprise that they would expand their offerings to Illustrator users. You may be familiar with Recosoft’s ID2Office tool (which lets you convert InDesign layouts to Word, PowerPoint, or Keynote), or their excellent PDF2ID tool (which converts PDF files to editable InDesign files). But in most cases, the artwork would either change or become un-editable. Sure, you could export a PNG or some other static file format and place that. Many designers create artwork in Illustrator and need to get it into slide presentations, but until now there have been very limited options for this workflow. My methods don’t require any extra third-party software, all conversions are done natively using the features already built into the software.I saw some software at the CreativePro Week conference in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago that was really exciting and I wanted to share it with you: The new IR2Office tool from Recosoft that lets you convert Illustrator CC files to either PowerPoint or Keynote files.

I’ll show you how you can bridge the gap, by taking your beautifully- and thoughtfully-designed InDesign projects and converting them into usable, editable Microsoft Word and Powerpoint files that your clients can run with.

Yet many design and production pros avoid it like the plague, sticking with Adobe programs, and if a client wants something to distribute, they can use the PDF you provided. Let’s face it! Microsoft Office is one of the biggest software systems on the planet, the most common tool used by clients, managers, and organizations.
