I make things like this in PPT by changing the dimensions and then converting to PDF. You can google annual reports to see what design you like and mimic it.
Also I am very surprised that PwC doesn’t have a design team with all the content y’all put out with that special font and those weirdly complementary colors that look like a fire.
InDesign to create it.

This is a good alternative!
Hopping over from the advertising bowl to beg you to please outsource this internally to whoever your team uses to clean up client decks, web design layouts, etc. Literally anyone who has experience working with large sections of long form text + colors + images.
What will take you literally an entire workday will only take them an hour or so if you give them all the copy already outlined, image files, and client brand guidelines. Most people (myself included years ago) don’t realize how much tedious math is involved in laying out print comps and how easy it is to screw it up.
Respectfully, this is a ‘pls fix’ email waiting to happen.

A designer would use Adobe InDesign for an Annual a report. Will this PDF ever be printed? If you have limited skills in publishing software, then something like Google Slides would be a good solution. That could be exported to PDF and printed or shared online.
