Actually, it's really easy and you can even import PDF to PowerPoint on Mac OS X with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader:

1. Open the PDF with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

2. Find Snapshot Tool in the Tools.

3. Copy PDF content with Snapshot Tool. Just drag the crosshairs to draw a box around area you want to copy, the snapshot tool automatically copies the selected area to the clipboard.

4. Paste the copied content into PowerPoint presentation

 

You actually can use this copy-and-paste way to convert PDF to PowerPoint on Mac, but all the copied PDF contents are saved in image format as a whole, it's not like the original PowerPoint file and you can't edit any contents in the converted PowerPoint.
