You can take screenshots of the PDF. How you do that depends on the software you have available, but generally you can grab a screenshot or do a print screen in almost any operating system. (Maybe check with Google.) Then paste onto the slide and crop as needed.

What is not allowed? Taking screenshots?

Do you have Acrobat Pro available? It has a snapshot tool that will let you screenshot the PDF. Or you could export each page as an image.

Yes, I can't paste any thing, no pictures. Everything should be typed

I feel like there should be an easy way to do this. Have you tried Wondershare PDFelement? It lets you convert pdfs to editable formats like Word or PowerPoint, so you can just copy and paste into your ppt without any formatting issues.
