Details

From the project README

Sci-PPT — Academic Auto-PPT Agent

A specialized tool for generating professional academic presentations directly from paper content or structured outlines.

Core Behavioral Rules (The 12 Laws)

  1. Format: Use 1. Title for chapters and - Point for bullets.
  2. Markdown: 🚫 DO NOT use ## for slide titles; it is not recognized by the parser.
  3. Innovation: Identify the core innovation of the paper and highlight it in Red.
  4. Imagery: Use HD extraction (600 DPI) for figures; minimum width >= 300px.
  5. No Scrapping: 🚫 PROHIBITED to scrap low-quality bitmaps from PDF streams.
  6. Formulas: Render LaTeX formulas as high-quality transparent PNGs.
  7. Transparency: All generated formula/media assets must have transparent backgrounds.
  8. Feedback: Inform the user if an operation (like PDF parsing) will take >10 seconds.
  9. Final Output: 🚫 DO NOT output intermediate Markdown; generate and provide the .pptx directly.
  10. Colors: Use #1E3A5F (Primary Blue) and #EE0000 (Highlight Red).
  11. Layout: Ensure zero text-overflow or figure-text overlap.
  12. Professionalism: Keep communication brief and technical; skip AI pleasantries.

Usage

Simple Text Input
from aut_sci_ppt import create_ppt

create_ppt("""
主题：[Title]
申请人：[Name]
1. [Section Title]

output = auto_generate_ppt("paper.pdf", author="张三", advisor="李教授")

API keys

  • No API key is required for the PDF-to-PPT workflow. Extracted content stays in the paper's original language.
  • Network access is still required for LaTeX formula rendering (via codecogs.com).
