Handy app: PDF to Keynote

Here's a very handy tool I've just run across, and I haven't seen mentioned here: PDF to Keynote. Like the name says, it will take a PDF document, and put each page on a separate slide in a new Keynote presentation. You can set various parameters for the resulting presentation (slide size, background, PDF page size).
This app is one good (and free) solution for the problem of wanting multiple pages of a PDF on slides (or just wanting a single page that is not the first page).

Hey that´s really a great app. Just saved me a lot of work! Thnak You for pointing it!

How can I launch an external app from a keynote presentation?

I'm trying to launch a Prezi presentation ("Prezi.app") from a keynote presentation, but don't know how to do it.
Links in keynote can only refer to websites or slides within the presentation, but not to start another App, like in - I hate to say it - Powerpoint.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Keynote is specifically prevented from opening applications.
In Keynote 09 (the previous version), hyperlinks can:
Jump to a slide in the same presentation
Open a webpage in the computer’s default web browser
Open another Keynote document
Open an email message
Exit the slideshow
in Keynote 6 (the latest version) hyperlinks can:
Jump to a Slide in the same presentation
Web page
Mail opens a pre-addressed email message
Exit the presentation

Exporting a PDF from keynote without losing hyperlinks

exporting a PDF from keynote without losing hyperlinks
anyone have any ideas why it doesn't export the hyperlinks to the PDF?
i only have PDF reader on my machine, not the full PDF creator

Or, better than that, export the PDF from InDesign as PDF/X-4!
By default, Acrobat and Reader use overprint preview when displaying PDF/X-4 files. Plus you have the benefit of full color management and not having transparency ruined by premature flattening.
One other note. Other than for the fairly common practice of overprinting black text over colors to avoid halo effects due to registration, one should be exceptionally careful in using overprint. Trapping, the other good, justifiable use for overprint is really best performed by the RIP. Most modern RIPs provide for automatic trapping. Overprint should absolutely not be used as a “poor man's transparency,” especially in conjuction with spot colors. With the advent of real transparency in the Adobe imaging model and hence in Illustrator, InDesign, and PDF, there is no good reason to use overprint hacks anymore to simulate transparency.

Is there Windows application to convert PDF to Keynote format?

I want to convert power point files so they can be viewed on the ipad. There are Mac pdf to Keynote converters avaialble, but I want to be able to convert my power points on my PC to key note format and then email or itune sync them to my ipad for use in Keynote on the iPad.
Any suggestions?

You can use any office suite or reader software that you want to read Powerpoint files. There is no conversion necessary.
If you just want to present a Powerpoint, you may want to use Goodreader or Readdledocs. (I use and like Goodreader.)
If you want to edit Powerpoint, the choices become more complex.
Quickoffice Connect Mobile Suite has a less full-featured word processor, but can supposedly edit Powerpoint (particularly graphics) rather well.
Documents to Go is known for its Intact technology meaning even if it can't allow you to edit something, it stays in the document. Pages, Keynote, and Numbers now have similar things, and the Apple options have excellent feature support.

should i come into the actual apple store or can you help online ?

Hi vickkjayy11 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Just to be clear, we are a peer to peer support community and have nothing official to do with Apple.
So to your problem, when you say:
"I reset my macbook pro a few days ago"
What exactly happened? Did you have a Time Machine backup?
Read this:
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
It would help to know the exact model (size and year) and which OS you're using.

HT3697 Is there a simple way to create a borderless PDF from Keynote.

Is there a simple way to create a "borderless" PDF using Keynote slides?
When I create a PDF, each slide appears separately with a border around it.
I am a relatively new keynote and mac user.
I am using Keynote version 6.2

I got the same result.
I'm trying to create what looks like a single document that viewers can scroll through.
I done quite a bit of checking and it seems that Keynote used to give you the ability to crop the PDF which, if I understand what they are talking about, would make it look like one big document and not a series of slides.
I read about using terminal commands (?) which are way beyond my skill level.
Also, I could buy Adobe Acrobat which, from what I've read, would also work. I'm not fond of making that investment.
Right now, I'm stuck!
I need to create a "long form sales letter" and I'm starting to think that I'm using the wrong program.
Thank you very much for your help and any other suggestions you might have.

Found Free Resource (Tip) for Prototyping Apps in Apple Keynote

Hi everyone! I would like to let the community know about a free resource for prototyping iPhone, iPad, and OS X apps in Apple Keynote.
It's available for download here: http://keynotopia.com/keynote-mockups-templates/
The best part is that you don't have to be a designer to create your own apps
The Apple Keynote tool is an awesome tool and these templates are a real time saver.
Happy app prototyping!
-Caroline

Good templates for quick mockups. Thanks for the tip!

How to find the navigation bar at the apps, PDF reader Lite? after i zoom in, the navigation bar dissapear~ what should i do to make the navigation bar reappear?

Hello,
Yes it will be in your page template. You just need to move #NAVIGATION_BAR# substitution under the #LOGO# substitution tag, probably something like this should work
#LOGO#<div>#NAVIGATION_BAR#</div>

Sounds like you just updated your IOS. Check the iTunes settings and confirm that nothing was changed:

HT4636 Can you open a PDF in Keynote for iPad?

I am a designer using InDesign. I'd like to export my presentation to PDF and then open on my iPad using Keynote. Doable?

Are you in Safari and you want to copy them to iBooks, or you in a different app ? Assuming that you are using Safari, then if I open a PDF on my first gen iPad in Safari and tap on it, I then get a pop-up bar at the top of it with the 'Open In' options.

Transform pdf in keynote or ppt

Hi. I often see slideshows on the web, which you can download as a pdf. Is there a way probably using automator to transform this pdf presentations in keynote presentation. It is clear to me that does ones will not be editible, however if a workflow would just make a keynote slide out of every pdf slide (page) , that would be a great timesaver

Well, it's possible to convert the pages of a PDF into images with the Automator action "Render PDF Pages as Images". And it's possible to add images to an already opened Keynote presentation with "Create Image Slide". If you don't have a presentation opened already, you could use "Make New Keynote Presentation". Since you always have to have at least one slide in a presentation, a new presentation starts with a blank slide. After the images are added as slides, you can use "Delete Slide" to delete that first slide. I'm using iWork '08 and so the presentation actions are from that version.
I don't know what is inside your PDFs, so I'm going to assume they contain text documents. Often, text documents are laid out in a PDF to print on paper. The width and height of a PDF document that is 8.5 x 11.0 inches turns out to be 612 x 792 pixels. PDFs are defined with 72 points per inch and in this case the points get converted to pixels when making images with the Automator action. If you have a different size PDF document (use the inspector panel in the Preview app), you can multiple the size in inches by 72 to get the pixel size for the images that will be returned.
Here's a workflow I threw together just now that works for me:
1. *Make New Keynote Presentation* - I left the default theme set to White and I set the width to 612 and the height to 792. If Keynote isn't already open, this action will cause it to be opened. This action must come before the PDF, otherwise the created presentation is passed on to the next actions instead of the PDF. If you save this workflow as an application, you might want to choose the Options button on this action and select "Show this action when the workflow runs" so you can set the size each time.
2. *Get Selected Finder Items* - I chose this action so I could select a PDF in the Finder and then run the workflow. This works great if you save the workflow as an application and then place it in the Finder's toolbar. In case you're wondering, this action ignores the input from the previous action.
3. *Render PDF Pages as Images* - For testing, I left it set to the defaults: RGB, JPEG, 200 dpi, compression midway. This will be what you change if you want better clarity or different formats for some reason. This may take a long time. The more pages and the larger they, the longer this will take, of course.
4. *Create Image Slide* - I left this set to the defaults. Not really sure what the settings do, so you'll need to play with that to find out yourself. Keep in mind this will add the slides to the frontmost presentation open in Keynote, so it's probably a good idea to leave Keynote alone until the workflow is done. This also takes a long time, seems to be slightly longer than rendering the images. So, the more slides to add, the more time it'll take.
5. *Delete Slide* - This is to remove the first slide in the new presentation created with the first action in this workflow. You can't delete a slide if it's the only slide, so it's done after the other slides have been added. However, you might want to keep the slide and create an intro for the images.
And that's it. I tested it by selecting a PDF file in the Finder and returning to Automator to run the workflow. I also saved the workflow as an application and then put it in the Finder toolbar (shows up as an Automator icon), then I tested that by selecting a PDF file and then clicking on the Automator icon in the Finder's toolbar. Works for me both ways. Keep in mind you'd want to select only one PDF because multiple PDFs would be combined into one Keynote presentation.
You may want to add another action or two. You could add "Save Keynote Presentation" at the end which will save the frontmost presentation, and choose the Options button on the action and select "Show this action when the workflow runs" so you can name it whatever you want each time you run it. Then, if you don't expect you'd be using this several times in a row, you could add the action "Quit Application" and select Keynote so it'll be closed afterwards. Since Keynote creates a new presentation on its own each time it is opened, you'll probably want to deselect the checkbox that prompts you save any unsaved documents so it'll close immediately.
Also, Keynote doesn't seem to offer an option to not create a new presentation. It does however have a preference setting for the default theme instead of having a theme chooser appear. Setting that will prevent Keynote from bouncing in the Dock trying to get your attention to select a theme for a presentation you aren't going to use. Not that it matters, because you can just ignore since it'll stop bouncing once Automator creates another presentation in front of it.
The only reason I didn't make use of the new presentation created by Keynote when it's first opened is so the workflow would work as expected even when Keynote was already opened with other presentations. Having the first action create a new presentation ensures any presentations already opened in Keynote won't be modified. Of course, if you expect to be in that situation, you probably also don't want to add the action for quitting Keynote.

RTF Template Logo boarders get changed in apps pdf output

Hi,
I developed rtf template with logo , rtf page header is 0" and margins are 0.2" and 0.25" (minimum for ms word to print).
I don't want to have any space b/w header and logo.
Preview in rtf template in pdf format is showing with correct margins.
But when i print the pdf preview, the logo changes its positin..ie..margins get changed.
when i attach to template in apps, the pdf output is coming with different boarders sizes.
PDF O/P is having space at the header ie..b/w header and logo.
any suggestions.
Thanks.

I figured out why the layout is changing when I print - page scaling option in Adobe was set to 'fit to printable area'. Is there some way that I can ensure whomever prints the file (3rd party provider) has this setting turned off? A command embedded in the template? A config file?
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.......
