Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?

Lots of the writing will be blah blah blah so ignore it. It's the who, where, when, why and how much that counts, usually.

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail, and I fear that is your problem! You are overwhelmed and don't have a clue where to start.

Use diagrams or photos with simple key points

Personally yes, I could as I have worked on sakes and marketing, so gave many presentations on a variety of subjects.

Use the 4 point plan. Introduction, good points, bad points and conclusion.

Now working as an English language teacher I teach students to give presentations to get good exam results and am currently teaching Algerian trainee pilots to give presentations, describe a photo, read a taxt and summarise it and to answer questions on all 3 disciplines.
