For the PDFs:

Import PDF content into PowerPoint
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00054.htm

Are your other graphics in PostScript or EPS (encapsulated PostScript) format?

PowerPoint can use EPS graphics via Insert, Picture, From File but can't import
PostScript.

In either case, you may have better results by converting the PS/EPS to Acrobat
PDF and using the method explained in the link above. If you don't have
Acrobat Distiller to do the conversion, the free GhostScript will do well.
