If I understand what you're needing...I use TeX->pdf and powerpoint together
all the time - for importing mathematics into powerpoint for talks. The
trick is that you display pdf and use the graphics select tool (the one near
the Text tool) and just draw a frame around what you want to copy, copy it
and paste. The pdf rendering is copied, so you get the pdf resolution in the
powerpoint doc. Make the pdf as large as you screen can draw it and then
resize in powerpoint in order to get the best resolution. I do this for math
and for plots, etc.
