I have PDF Prof. version 4. How can I use convert to use in PowerPoint? I
copied and pasted, but it is in Portrait and not Landscape. I also tried to
open it in Adobe Reader and export it, but it made 7 jpg files. There are
graphics in the background.

I did read this and was partially successful. The PDF file is in Portrait and
of course in Powerpoint I need landscape. I can't seem to change it without
distroting the picture.

Once you export the pages from your PDF into an image format (png recommended in the FAQ) Can you not scale the image to fit the slide without distortion? Of course your going to have space on either side of the picture if you maintain the aspect ratio of the image because it is a portrait image. Without seeing exactly what is in the images, it is hard to offer a solid solution.

Received the email. I would if there are more slides to your presentation, crop your image to remove all of the white space surrounding your image. Put that image into a portrait orientated slide, and the remainder of your presentation into a landscape presentation, and link the two of them together at show time. If it is only the one slide, then put it into a portrait presentation.

Another other option would be to make your slide background from an image that does not have any of the text so your image would blend in better

I tried this also and the outcome is the same. LOTS of white space on either
side of photo in PowerPoint.
