Lectures in PDF

For those of us without PowerPoint it would be nice to get PDFs for https://www.py4e.com/lectures3/

Seems reasonable.

@csev I don't have windows but we could maybe add a visual basic script to do this.

Alternately, looks like there're a few ways to do this headlessly in Linux. Not sure about how the formatting would look though. I could try this out if you want.

Probably want the output in a subfolder or sibling folder and to add download links to the official website.

We could write a script that had to be run on some kind of computer that made them and do it manually from time to time.

It might be possible to convert PPT to PDF with Google Drive API https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/integrate-open#open_and_convert_google_docs_in_your_app

@csev Excellent material, thanks! You can use pandoc to convert ppt/pptx to pdfs it works very well https://pandoc.org/ I would put a readme in the ppt dir directing people to do this, or via cli a script would be fast.
