Recastia, a Hong Kong-based content repurposing platform, has unveiled a PDF to video converter that creates MP4 videos from PDF files. The tool is aimed at users who want to convert product brochures, service guides, and other documents into video content for exhibition screens, sales demonstrations, and event presentations.
The announcement matters for businesses that already hold large volumes of document-based marketing and training material but lack the time or production resources to rebuild that content as video. Rather than starting from scratch, the converter reuses existing documents and visuals, a proposition that could lower the cost and effort of producing promotional and instructional video.
The workflow begins with template previews. After choosing a template, users upload one or more PDFs. When multiple files are involved, they can adjust the file order before the converter merges the content. They then select a generation mode and the specific pages to display. Word documents, PowerPoint files, and images are also accepted as inputs.
Selective page control is a central feature. For a product display, a user might combine a brochure with a separate specification document, selecting product photographs and key details while leaving out ordering forms or lengthy reference sections. The converter lets users decide which pages enter the video instead of including every page from the uploaded files.
The tool offers Minimal, Easy, and Advanced modes. Minimal Mode suits a display without voiceover, showing the selected pages automatically, with users choosing a fixed display time per page or dividing a total display duration evenly among the selected pages. Background music remains optional, including library tracks or uploaded audio. Easy Mode uses one continuous voiceover script for the full video, while Advanced Mode provides a separate script field for each selected page, allowing users to explain product features on one page and specifications on another. In both modes, users can write scripts themselves or use AI Copywriting to generate editable scripts from the PDFs, selecting the language, an AI voice, and whether to include subtitles and an avatar.
The converter supports landscape (16:9) and portrait (9:16) formats for different screen orientations, and visual customization options vary by template. The Page-Flipping Book template, for example, lets users choose a background image or upload their own and add a colored cover border around the book.
The finished MP4 can be downloaded for playback on an event screen or within a presentation. Users can also edit its title and description, embed the video on a product website, share its unique link, or use a QR code on event materials so visitors can open it themselves.
"Users may want to introduce a product at an event without taking visitors through the entire brochure," said Winston Zhang, CEO of Recastia. "Our PDF to video converter helps them create that introduction from their existing documents in a format suited to the screen where the video will appear."
Recastia describes itself as a content repurposing platform for PDFs and images, supporting video, flipbook, presentation, website, AI chatbot, and 3D exhibition creation. Users apply existing information and visuals to online catalogs, product demonstrations, training, and virtual displays, selecting how to publish or present their content.
