Mourad,
This forum is for iWork Numbers.  There is a more appropraite forum dedicated to Keynote here.  I suggest posting this question in that forum.
You are here:

  • When creating a PDF from a PPT or Keynote application on a Mac using Acrobat X Pro, how do I ensure it can be opened on a PC? Do I need to save as a particular version of Acrobat?

    When creating a PDF from a PPT or Keynote application on a Mac using Acrobat X Pro, how do I ensure it can be opened on a PC? Do I need to save as a particular version of Acrobat?

    The system was not my own, it was on a PC belonging to the school where I teach. The error message referred to Acrobat 9.0, so I assume that the problem is to do with the version on which the file was created being more recent than that on which I attempeted to open it.

  • Who likes to import Powerpoint and Keynote???

    Hello,
    I recently got my new mac pro with final cut pro and am fairly new to the system ( I converted from Avid )
    Im curious of anyone elses methods of importing powerpoint files because Im looking for the best way to do it without losing image quality.
    One person had me open everything in Keynote then export it as a quicktime movie but I found not only did it look horrible but also when importing to FCP the duration seems to be 0 frames and FCP wont import that quicktime.
    Im used to just exporting the files as .TIFF and then importing them but again you lose image quality so I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas.
    thanks,

    I just had to bring a PPt presentation into our current show. (loads of fun).
    This was my workflow...hope it works for you, or at least points you in the right direction.
    NOTE - I don't have PPt on my mac, so this was all done on a PC, then sneaker-netted to the mac...
    -Open PPt presentation, click on the first slide.
    -Open Photoshop / New File (create parameters of choice for your graphics.
    -alt/tab back to PPt
    -click PPt to full screen, wait for 'play' icons to disappear at bottom left, then hit "Print Screen"
    -alt/tab back to Photoshop, cntl-v to paste screen grab
    -control/shift/s to save as "filename 01a" (your flavor...tiff, png, etc.)
    -alt/tab back to PPt
    -Hit enter to trigger next element of slide 01 (wait for icons to disappear), then hit "Print Screen"
    -alt/tab to Photoshop, cntl/v to paste this next element of slide 01, save as "filename 01b"
    Lather, Rinse, Repeat...changing filename convention as you work through the various PPt slides/elements.
    I find that most PowerPoints are created with no regard to title/screen safe. So I often end up sizing them down from full screen and placing the slides over a moving background of some sort.
    If you're doing something like that and want all the slides have the same parameters, then drop them on their own timeline, create the parameters you need (basic motion, crop, drop shadow..etc) on the first clip...then you'd:
    -control/click, select 'copy'
    -deselect the first clip.
    -type 't' once and click the curser on the second clip in line (will select all remaining clips in timeline)
    -control/click on any of the selected clips and select 'paste attributes'.
    -check off the attributes you modified on the first clip
    -create a new bin in the browser...named something like "PPT clips_modified".
    -select all in the timeline, copy them and paste them into the new bin. Then you can work down the list.
    There are modifications to these processes and maybe someone has a better way, but it worked for me.
    Hope that helps.

  • PPT to KEYNOTE to Web?

    hi. i posted a question recently (http://tinyurl.com/38gg4z), but didn't get any reply.
    perhaps if i rephrase my questioning:
    Is it possible to take someone's PPT presentation, open/import it into Keynote,
    and then export it into a web-ready format (like Flash)?
    My client's PPT presentations need to be on the web. They are on the PC.
    The Articulate app does this flawlessly on the PC, but I'm on a Mac.
    ANY help would be tremendous! thx

    You're welcome. You can mark this topic as "answered".
    But there is just one more thing... There's a problem with Keynote QuickTime movies sometimes stopping during playback. See this thread for some workarounds:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5454356
    ...I particularly like the workaround of using Apple's sophisticated presentation of movies via .Mac Web Gallery. Here's their demo page:
    http://gallery.mac.com/emily_parker
    ...click on one of the three movies there. Some caveats to using this are that viewers would need to be using a modern browser (IE 6 won't work, 7 is necessary) and probably QT Player too. Plus the storage & data transfer limitations on a .Mac account.
    Well, even if it's not practical to use Web Gallery as the main presentation, it could be useful for showing demos to a limited audience, say, for pre-approval of a presentation.

    Hi KRKabutoZero,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You may want to look at Knowledge Base Document #58042 on A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac.
    Do you have access to another Mac? You may want to backing up your files via Target Disk Mode (TDM) as well as running some utilities (Knowledge Base Document #58583 on How to use FireWire target disk mode.
    You may want to invest in a utility like DiskWarrior from Alsoft. It is great for troubleshooting drive malfunctions.
    As said before, you may also want to bring your iBook to your local Apple Store/Reseller.

  • I'm editing ppts in Keynote exporting back to PPTs and loosing "hyperlinks" to movie files

    I'm editing ppts in Keynote but have to use them as exported ppts to teach college in a Windows-PC environment
    Keynote 5.3
    MacPro OSX 10.75
    SUBJECT:
    Loss of ppt function after opening in keynote then exporting as ppt
    Educational ppts (Powerpoints) from Pearson play movies using PowerPoint or Powerpoint Viewer via a button located on some slides if the movies are located in the same folder as the ppt.
    If I open such a ppt in keynote and immediately export it as a ppt, the ability to play the movie is lost; the click on the button just advances the slide instead.
    Is there a preference in Keynote that might be set differently to prevent this behavior and allow playing of the movie from within the Powerrpoint application.
    Note that the size of the file (via Get Info) is exactly the same after exporting the ppt FROM Keynote 5.3

    Thank you Gary,
    I did just that last night;
    Select the graphic object ("Play" Btn").
    Open the Powerpoint "tools" floating pallet wd.
    Open the "Hyperlink" 'tab'
    select 'link to file'
    then browse (open finder wd) to find and select the movie file.
    Click "Open" and a powerpoint function returns the full path to the file and associates it with the "mouseUp" msg handler within the script of the "Play" Btn, which I expect essentially sends a doubleClick to the movie file ( ie. opens it) and it will then play in a new window from within some other application like Quicktime or Media Player if that other application exists on your computer. (I'm getting a (sandbox?) dialogue window first, telling me,  asking me something) that needs to be dealt with. I'm using Powerpoint for Mac and OSX 10.7.5.
    (I expect that will not occur using a PC and some version of Windoz in the PC ed conference room environment or using emulated Windoz 7 within the Parallels 8 application on the MacPro, but I have not tried that since I only have the Powerpoint viewer installed in that Windoz 7 system as of the moment.
    I've never really used Powerpoint or Keynote until recently because I have used my own presentation application created in Supercard which of course is much more flexible; from the ability to utilze windows of any kind or number on any slide, to all the power of unix via shell scripts and a huge set of functions native to the Supercard suite of stable developement tools.
    Any suggestions how best to integrate movies into straight Keynote presentations ?
    Thank you again Gary,

  • Unknown import error on Keynote

  • Captivate 5.5 Is it possible to import PPT slides in Notes Page view?

    Hello experts,
    This may seem like an odd question. I'd like to display all the notes in the page of a PowerPoint deck that provides samples of code and explaintions of what the code is doing. It is too much information for the slide, which just has discussion point bullets, and I think it is too much for the closed caption pane. It this possible to import PPT slides in Notes Page view?
    Thank you so much in advance for any hints, tips, and replies.
    Kindest regards,
    P

    I found an alternative but circuitous way of achieving the desired result. In PowerPoint I opened, then I printed the PPT presentationto a PDF selecting the Notes Page option instead of Full Slide. By then using a PDF converter to convert it back to PPT I was able to insert the  PPT as is. In other words it "looks" just like the PPT Notes Page view, which is exactly what I wanted. The code snippet and notes were intact.

  • Looking for a howto for an applescript to batch convert PPTS to Keynote...

    Looking for a howto for an applescript to batch convert PPTS to Keynote...
    Hi to group!
    (cross posted this a couple of weeks ago to Keynote forum, no responses) Perhaps the query really belongs here...)
    (I) Have a whole bunch of PPTs to convert to Keynote, now and more as time goes on.
    Looked into applescript to try to automate this a bit (could open PPT file but did not see any way to 'Save' file from a script).
    Also looked into bash scripting/automator too -- way too many options to choose from. Help!
    Anybody done anything similar to this already?
    TIA for pointers. //GH

    A word of caution.
    I have not tried the workflow before.
    I am not an applescript expert.
    These steps were quickly composed using my basic knowledge in Applescript
    What I was planning was to create a script droplet that when a ppt file is dropped upon it, it extracts the name of the file and sets it to a variable to name the keynote file later. You might have to modify it a bit to batch process multiple files.
    Try going through batch processing scripts made for quark or Adobe photoshop ( Not sure if these exist on internet) to see how they have implemented the steps in applescript.
    To GUI Script Keynote, do these steps...
    All the code has to go in here
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">activate application "Keynote.app"
    tell application "System Events"
       tell process "Keynote"
          -- insert GUI Scripting statements here
       end tell
    end tell
    </pre>
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">click menu item "Export…"  of menu 1 of menu bar item "File"  of menu bar 1</pre>
    This will click the next.. button provided the default export type is set to PPT
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">click button 2 of sheet 1 of window 2
    </pre>
    This will click the Export button on the next window
    click button 1 of sheet 1 of window 2
    This piece of code can be used to set the name of the ppt file using the extracted name in the first step
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">set value of text field 1 of sheet 1 of window 2 to "<string>"
    </pre>
    May be there is a better way out there.
    Thanks for red_menace for his Script formatter script

  • Can I import iWork from my Mac, which has Snow Leopard, to my MacBook Air, which has Mountain Lion?

    Can I import iWork from my Mac, which has Snow Leopard, to my MacBook Air, which has Mountain Lion?
    I would appreciate any advice on the intricacies of operating with Snow Leopard on my main computer and Mountain Lion on my MacBook Air.

    I'm not sure there are any intricacies except you can't use iCloud to keep the two things synced. It would be mostly contacts, Safari bookmarks, Calendars, notes, etc.
    Also, iCloud allows saving iWork documents in the Cloud, so you can access them on both systems. That would not be available for the old Mac.
    The two OSes are similar enough that it wouldn't be too difficult to work between the two, but there will be differences in using the Finder (contextual menu changes)
    I thought I would have more, but I've been off Snow Leopard for so long now, I'll leave this for someone who is currently operating like that or recently switch to Mountain Lion from SL.

  • Can't import ppt in Captivate 7

    I have just installed Captivate 7 (v. 7.0.1.237) on my laptop with Vista 64-bit os.  When I try to import ppt slides, the option is greyed out.  How can I fix this?

    Import > PPT slides will be available if you are inserting PPT slides to an existing Captivate project. If you are creating a new one, you should select File > New Project > Project from MS PowerPoint.

    Hi Guys,
    I have a problem with Importing Pictures onto my Mac mini with Lion installed by using a Card Reader,
    What is the problem here so I can get Pictures onto my Computer. ,

    Hi Noob Søren
    There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
    As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
    You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
    I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
    You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
    Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
    If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
    Hope this helps

    You cannot import addresses into Mail. You must import them into Address Book for them to be available in Mail. Open Address Book, then Help > Address Book Help, and read the “Importing contacts into Address Book” article to see how this works.
