Document title on each slide

Hi All,
As a newby in Keynote, I'm looking for hours on the web and in the doc how to populate on each slide a text which will be the same through the all presentation such as a presentation title.
There a way through the slide master but you'll have to go on each and modify the text.
Is there another way as provided in powerpoint to a kind of footer?
If not is it possible to create a scripts to do so?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer, but it's not what I'm looking for.
In fact each time I've to use my template, I've according to the presentation done to change a "title" which change each tile, as a king of running head trough the whole presentation. In ppt I can put a placeholder called footer. Trhough a filled I can fill that placeholder with the same sentence.
It seems that this functionality does not exist in Keynote, so I'm lloking for another way to do thaht it's the reason why I was thinking of a script.

Building a Slide Show with Professional looking titles for each slide.

The only way I have figures out to product a slide show with titles is too put the title on in Photoshop and this is very time consuming. With all the different ways to make slides shows with Studio Pro, Imovie, Iphoto, etc. is there an efficient way to place titles on each slide.

You might consider:
PhotoToMovie
FotoMagico
or something similar.
BTW, I'm in Spokaloo as well.

How do I add a different title to each slide in a LR3 slideshow?

This question has been asked, but for some reason I cannot access it. Thanks!

John,
You add a distinct title and/or caption for each photo in the metadata panel and then reference these metadata fields in the slide show with a text field.

I would like to print out the icon and title of each of my apps to another document for printing and sharing within my family

I would like to print out the icon and title of each of my IOS apps to another document for printing and sharing within my family. My son has my old iPod touch so I erased it so he could put whatever games he wants to play on that I used to play with. It is difficult to download every game at one time because there is too much to download at one time. I have many hundreds of apps. One way I found was to create a screen grab of each page in iTunes then open it in Preview contact sheet but that is really tiny unreadable image of each screen. I also tried importing a screen shot of the contact sheet into Paint 2 and magnifying it on several pages but that is really blurry. The ideal solution would be to import the icon and text to another app or to provide a print list of apps solution within iTunes.

Create iPad screen shots by briefly pressing the home and on/off buttons together. You will hear a shutter click sound and find a screen shot on your iPad's Camera Roll. You can then print these screen shots as you would any iPad photos.
UPDATE: I assumed you had an iPad. Hopefully your iOS device does have an on/off and home button and is capable of producing screen shots.

How do I convert a power point document to a pdf where it will show the notes for each slide?

How do I convert a power point document to a pdf where it will show the notes for each slide?

To get the 'handout view' with a slide and the speaker notes on the same page, you have to save the PDF file directly from PowerPoint (the later versions of Microsoft Office can make PDF files without the help of Acrobat).

Is there anyway to publish each slide build in Captivate 5.5 to a word doc with slide notes?

I am looking for a way to print out my slides in a word document so that my copy editor can not only read my slide notes, but also view what is on my slide making sure there are not any errors. When I build my slides, I stack images up with things fading in and out enabling me to record audio for only one slide as opposed to each build. However when I publish to the handouts, my copy editor receives a slide with a lot of things built up on it and she can not see everthing that is on the slide (only what's on top). Does anyone have any advice or information they can give me relating to publising to handouts or storyboarding so that each slide build is seen?
Thank you in advance! I appreciate any help on this!

Captivate's handouts work in much the same way as PPT handouts. If you had a lot of objects and animation on a single PPT slide it wouldn't look much different to a Captivate slide.
One good thing about Captivate though is that if you hide objects on the timeline for a given slide, the way that slide looks in Edit mode is pretty much what it will look like in the Handout doc graphic. With judicious hiding of extraneous objects your slide printout won't look too bad. The reviewers should at this stage mostly be just looking at the voiceover script anyway. The NEXT stage of the review cycle would be to check the animation and syncing with the approved voiceover.
There's no way you can give your reviewer a Word doc straight out of Captivate that will show how you've animated the objects (fade ins and fade outs or effects etc). If it's essential tey see this in action then consider sending them a PDF output from the project with TTS speech from the voiceover script and objects roughly synced to the TTS. I don't see any point wasting too much time on getting everything synced perfectly at this stage because reviewers are just as likely to change a lot of the voiceover and render a lot of work useless. But some reviewers have no imagination and can't get an idea of how the elearning will turn out until they see it almost finished. Managers are the most likely to be like this. And the higher up in management they are, the less imagination they have.

I want to be able to create an editable Evernote note from a PPT presentation, preserving the Speaker Notes at the bottom of each slide, while making that text still editable. Can I use automator to copy/paste each slide/notes into Evernote?

I can print the PPT as a PDF with speaker notes but this makes it into an attachment when adding to Evernote which for some reason makes the text on each slide/image unsearchable and it just makes the whole file too big (which in many cases violates Evernote's 100 MB file size limit).
I have been researching how to convert the PPT to a Word document, but apparently Microsoft got rid of that feature in the version that I have (14.3.9) because it was too unweildy and just didn't always work like it was supposed to.
I don't have any experience with coding (very limited html coding), but it seems to me like this would be a very simple thing to do with Automator where I could just specify the new PPT that I received, click run, and voila! have an Evernote note with each slide followed by its speaker notes in text format so that I could add/delete/edit them as I please as I'm working through them for school.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

How can I add a two second pause to the beginning of each slide?

Hello,
I have a project with TTS and perfectly aligned CC notes - 64 slides. Now the customer would like for there be a two-second pause before the audio begins on each slide in order to allow the user to first become oriented with the slide. Is there a way I can do this without moving the audio down the timeline two seconds, and then having to adjust the appearance of each of the CC notes accordingly?
I was thinking of something like pause two seconds On Enter -- Is this possible?
Thanks for any help!!

Acrobat Pro X Replaces Document Title with File Name

We process many Microsoft Word Documents into PDF. Whether or not this is the correct way to process them we use the new "Action" previously a Batch Process.
We require our documents to open "Full Width" so we run the created Action which converts the Word files to PDF and sets them to open width.
In the previous version of Acrobat (9) this worked fine. But the current version strips the document title out of the Word document and replaces it with the file name in the PDF. eg. If the title of the document set in the properties of world.doc is "Changing the world", when the action created the PDF its stripped and replaced with "world.doc"
This of course means that we must now take the time to change the title of each document so that the search engine on our intranet can correctly list it. As you can imagine a time consuming process, which until this update never had to be done.
Alternatively is there a better way to convert large numbers of Word documents to PDF that will keep all of this information intact?
Many thanks
Murray

Actions are not really intended for that type of work:
Actions allow a complex, guided series of events to be applied to a single file, usually with some user interactivity. They can be run over and over but usually only process one file at a time. In the example we show based on redaction, this guided interactivity is essential as only a human can decide what to redact in each document.
Batch processing applies a standard set of events to a series of files, usually without any user interactivity beyond selection and filename choices.
What happens when you try and run your Acrobat 9 batch sequence in Acrobat X?

HELP!!!! File name / document title metadata question

Is there any way to have the file name and the document title carry over to one another?
I am doing a huge selection of images for our stock agency and have figured out how to add a simple bit of information to our in-house file names for example 11130-005.08D_IOTW (the _IOTW is what I have had to add for a submission) in lightroom in the file name local on the right of the screen when doing metadata....
HOWEVER, we also need the document title/title and I don't want to have to open each seperate image and apply the simple _IOTW to each title.
Is there anyway to instantaneously add the _IOTW to the title just like one can with the file name?
HELP!!!???

Check out LR/Transporter by Timothy Armes. It has the capability of modifying metadata fields, including Title. If I understand your needs correctly, it should do what you want.

Position of title on a slide

I am new to Macs. I am making a slide show and want the first slide to have a title on it. I have managed to get a title on, but it is smack in the middle of the slide. I want to be able to move it, and have been unsuccessful at finding a solution to that. I am in the Ken Burns theme, and have read that you can move it, but nowhere have I found the info that tells me what to do.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What you want to do is not an option. The title slide has the title in the middle and is the title of the slideshow itself. The other title option in the Setting pane put the title/file name for each slide in the lower left hand corner.
If you want to only have the first slide to have a title use the Photos->Batch Change->Title to Empty menu option to remove the titles from all of the slides in the slideshow. Then manually add the title you want to have on the first slide. That may give you what you want. Other than that you'll need to use another slideshow application OR use a 3rd party editor to but the title text directly on the photo wherever you want.

Magic Chart affects the title of a slide

In Keynote, I have a presentation where I've inserted an interactive bar chart on to a slide. I've used the Magic Chart animation to the chart and, whilst it works well, it's affecting part of the Title of that slide.
Each of my titles has a border set below the text, which disappears when the Magic Chart animation is played. It appears only once the animation is finished. Why does it do this and how can I prevent this from happening?
Many thanks

Each of my titles has a border set below the text
Do you mean something like this?
If so, move the text box away from the graph

Getting Safari document title/location via Scripting Bridge fails

I'm trying to get the URL and document title from the topmost Safari document/tab. I have an AppleScript and an objective-c version using the Scripting Bridge framework.
Both versions work fine for most web pages, however when I open a Youtube video in full-screen mode, the Scripting Bridge based version fails (error below). The Apple Script works fine for "normal" and full-screen Safari windows.
Can anyone see what is wrong with the Scripting Bridge code below to cause it to fail for full-screen Safari windows?
Here the code (I omitted error checking for brevity):
AppleScript:
tell application "Safari"
# Give us some time to open video in full-screen mode
delay 10
do JavaScript "document.title" in document 0
end tell
Scripting Bridge:
SafariApplication* safari = [SBApplication applicationWithBundleIdentifier:@"com.apple.Safari"];
SBElementArray* windows = [safari windows];
SafariTab* currentTab = [[windows objectAtIndex: 0] currentTab];
// This fails when in full-screen mode:
id result = [safari doJavaScript: @"document.title" in: currentTab];
NSLog(@"title: %@", result);
Scripting Bridge error (with added line breaks):
Apple event returned an error. Event = 'sfri'\'dojs'{
'----':'utxt'("document.title"),
'dcnm':'obj '{ 'want':'prop',
'from':'obj '{ 'want':'cwin',
'from':'null'(),
'form':'indx',
'seld':1 },
'form':'prop',
'seld':'cTab' }
Error info = {
ErrorNumber = -1728;
ErrorOffendingObject = <SBObject @0x175c2de0:
currentTab of SafariWindow 0 of application "Safari" (238)>;
I could not find details about the given error code. It complains about 'currentTab' which shows that the JavaScript event at least made it all the way to Safari. I assume that the current tab receives the event, but refuses to run the JS code, because it is in full-screen mode. However, why does this work for an AppleScript? Don't they use the same code path eventually?
Thanks!

1) I have not yet looked into Apple events, but have read elsewhere that it is not the most fun thing to deal with. I might give it a shot after having tried 2 + 3
Not really, but your command isn't too complicated so it'd be quite doable using the AEBuild* functions/NSAppleEventDescriptor and AESendMessage. If you go the AEBuild* route, you can use AEDebug to sniff Apple events sent from AppleScript for clues - the AEPrint syntax is similar to that used by AEBuild* functions. Mostly it's just tedious; first learning to use the lower-level APIs, then writing the code for them.
2) Using NSAppleScript was actually my first approach, but having to compile each script before I run it seems a waste. Maybe I can try a pre-compiled script and hand in the JavaScript as a parameter.
That's the safe and efficient way to parameterize AppleScripts. Although unless you're doing this to support user-supplied scripts, by the time you've packed what you need into an NSAppleEventDescriptor, a bit more code and you could probably send it directly to Safari yourself.
3) I had tried ASTranslate in the past. I have not actually compiled the generated code, but seeing this makes me wonder about the difference between the Apple Script and Scripting Bridge.
I've written about that in various places, e.g.:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1309958/avoiding-applescript-through-ruby-rb- appscript-or-rubyosa/1316563#1316563
Basically, Apple event IPC is RPC plus first-class queries, not OO as a lot of folks assume. AppleScript's OO-like syntax is a bit of a red herring, and the AS interpreter uses various tricks (e.g. implict gets) to further this illusion. So it looks and feels like OO, but only up to a point, and beyond that folks get totally confused when it does something decidedly un-OO. Hence AppleScript's reputation amongst professional programmers as being confusing and unpredictable. (It's actually reasonably straightforward and predictable one you know how it really works; it's just that figuring it out for yourself takes a lot of time and effort, since it's completely messed with your preconceptions by then. Ugh.)
Apple had an opportunity to learn their lessons from AS's approach, but whether due to politics, hubris or naivety they decided to dress up SB to look even more Cocoa-/OO-like. Which just means there's a bigger impedance mismatch between the SB API and the AE API hidden beneath the surface. So the abstractions are thicker and leakier, and the obfuscations more impenetrable when you do run into problems. By comparison, objc-appscript minimizes the syntactic sugar and wears much of Apple events' inherent weirdness on its sleeve. So while it takes a bit of getting used to if you're from an OO background, once you do get the hang of it it (nearly always) just works.

JS scripted needed to add custom text plus filename to file info in document title

Super :O)
I have a folder of say 50 images and I want to run a JS script batch

How to create buttons for each slide in slideshow

I currently have a slideshow working with prev and next buttons,
but would like to add numbered buttons for each slide at bottom of images,
with a static number for the active slide that has a colored circle around that number.
I can create static number with colored circle in Photoshop and add that to a layer,
but it's labor intensive to do that for all numbers.
Is there a better way to create the highlighted numbers for active slide?
For numbered buttons that link to non-active slides, I can create numbers in Photoshop and import images into Flash,
then convert to symbols and assign actions for them,
But that too is labor intensive to do for all the numbers.
Is there a better way to create numbered buttons for non-active slides?
I'd also like to have a hover function on the numbered buttons,
that changes from plain image of number to number with colored circle like I want to use for active slide.
How do I assign a hover function to button symbol, that will load another image or symbol?

Try to think in terms of having reusable symbols. Think it thru before you try it.
Use a movieclip symbol instead of a button. Have a dynamic textfield in that movieclip for the number, and set the textfield to not be selectable. Have one frame of this movieclip where it displays as the highlighted (selected) one and have the movieclip go there where you are on that slide.
Use the textfield for the number--assign it dynamically so that you don't have to import an image for it. Use as many of these movieclips as you need to for all your buttons.
Have functions that reset all the buttons at once so that when you move to a new slide, the previously selected one goes back to mormal... follow that with setting the newly selected one to be in its "selected" frame.
