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.

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.

Do you have an e-mail that I could send you the slide?

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
