Keynote file to Powerpoint Image issue

I have to create presentations in Keynote that can be saved as Powerpoint and viewed/used by clients in Powerpoint for Windows. I'm new to Keynote but right off the bat, any placed graphics turn completely pink when I open them in Powerpoint to check them or even when I open them back up in Keynote again. How can I avoid this?

what format are the graphics you're putting into Keynote? I've never seen ppts go pink, but then I haven't exported to ppt in a long time.

  • How can I open my keynote files in powerpoint?

    I just got Keynote. Igot it thinking that it was compatible with PPT files, but I am running into the deadends in which a converter is required to boot the program. Can anyone out there help me?

    You can import a ppt into Keynote simply by opening it the same way you would open a keynote file, though not all transitions/layouts/embedded media and the like may import smoothly.
    To export a Keynote presentation as a ppt, from the menu bar: Share > Export > ppt

  • I am unable to save a keynote file as powerpoint. The 'save as' option is not showing in the files menu

    Hi, I downloaded the Keynote from the App store. I shoudl be able to save the presentation as a powerpoint, but the 'Save as" option is not showing in the file menu. Please help with a solution.

    If you are using Lion, there is no Save As in iWork apps. It is no longer a menu item.

  • How do I export Keynote file to Powerpoint as ".ppt" rather than ".pps"?

    Greetings,
    have not been able to export from Keynote4.0.1 (OSX 10.4.10)
    to Powerpoint .ppt format, only to .pps
    is there a setting somewhere in preferences?
    when i try to change the file name suffix to .ppt it still appends to .pps
    any clues or advice?
    need to export as .ppt file for use in another app. (Impatica)
    thanx in advance for any help!
    PS if you have a G4 Powerbook with bad LCD, please post on the proper forum category to request that Apple consider a recall for this growing problem!!

    greetings,
    -- have found solution!
    -- depends on the nature of the initial PowerPoint file, whether imported to Keynote as .ppt or .pps (embedded or linked media)
    -- have been importing/exporting between Keynote & PP to refine the presentation for best cross-platform delivery as part of my edit process. as other have stated, on this discussion forum--there are a number of incompatibilities, when re-exporting your beautiful content rich Keynote presentation back to the MS PP format.
    -- it is best to be selective with your template choices & linked/embedded media files while working in Keynote... if you have high expectations for playback in MS PP you'll be disappointed. export to a QT movie for an excellent rendering of effects (not to mention, addtl. editing capabilities in QT Pro) & hope the end user has a plugin! much better than a less pleasing MS PP playback.
    welcome other solutions/experiences here; please.
    thanx,

  • Unknown error when trying to export keynote file to powerpoint

    Is there a size limit to the export? I have an 80MB file I would like to export. Smaller files have exported successfully, but now I am getting this totally unhelpful error message:
    An unknown error occurred.

    Mmmm - so it won't even allow sharing as an uncompressed full-quality QT file. Does it include iTunes store tracks? (don't know if that would cause your particular problem). Could you test by creating a new project with just a few pics (drag and drop from your current project) and without the music track? Or maybe just do a Save As, and trash the music from it.

  • Trouble converting powerpoint files with png images to pdf-Can someone help?

    Hello all,
    In my line of work, I create and modify large sized posters that are created in powerpoint. I would have the files print ready by converting them to pdf. I usually have little to no issues executing this. However, I have been dealing with an issue of converting ppt files with png images. The size of the ppt is typically a 42x56 file. The several ways to convert to pdf produces an error each time. Png images are very useful as they provide much clarity vs jpegs or tiffs. The 3 ways I have tried below are:
    A) File>Print>Adobe PDF>High Quality print settings/300dpi results to an error message that says:
         "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current print setup. Try one of the following:
         *Check the printer by printing a test page from Windows.
         *Make sure the printer is turned on and online.
         *Reinstall the printer driver"
         A blank pdf opens up (Selected to open file after publishing)
    B) File>Save as> Change file type as a pdf results in nothing happening. No pdf is produced.
    C) Acrobat>Create PDF results to an error message that says: "An unexpected error occured. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
    Again, this all happens with ppt files with png images. I took out the png images and attempted to convert to pdf, and the pdf is produced! 
    Can anyone provide any assistance in creating pdfs with png images or what settings I need to adjust? I am able to covert every other image type (jpeg, tiff, bmp), except for png images.
    I am using Microsoft Office 2010 with Adobe Acrobat X on Windows 7 (This happened on Windows XP as well).

    >I have a 48 slide presentation that has a small .png image in the "slide
    >master" so it will show up on every page.
    PowerPoint only has to store one instance of the image even thought it is
    displayed on multiple slides. But Acrobat can't do the same, the image has
    to be stored for every page that it appears on, so that would explain the
    larger file size.
    Acrobat is supposed to be able to optimize the storage of common background
    images (at least that's the message I see when I do a "Save as..."), but I
    have yet to see it to work. Maybe it depends on the application the orginal
    file is created in and the PDF conversion method used.
    Adding the image into a PDF file later as a watermark instead may be a way
    to keep the size down (then it really only does store the object once),
    though I believe that watermark images will appear in front of everything
    else on the page (not sure if that's a problem for you, it depends on
    whether any text or objects in the presentation ever appear in front of the
    image).
    What are the dimensions and resolution of the image in PowerPoint? You may
    be able to go as low as 75 dpi and not notice a difference, it depends on
    whether the image contains any areas of high contrast or text.

  • Converting a Keynote document to Powerpoint file doesn't work

    I tried to convert Keynote documents to PowerPoint files that can be viewed and edited by PowerPoint users on Windows or Mac OS computers. All I got was a error. Can any one tell me how to make this work.I did every thing that was in the instructions.
    To create a PowerPoint slideshow:
    Choose File > Export and then click PowerPoint.
    Click Next.
    Type a name and choose a location for the file, and then click Export.

    Hy Kyn, thank you for answering.
    Every slide on my presentation has animated objekts. And every slide is linked (by hyperlink) to every slide on the presentation. So I want to give the user the chance to interrupt and to go to next slide. Therefore is an arrow to klick on, which has a hyperlink to next side (or do go to start, or to go back) - during the slide-animation is working.
    That works fine in keynote, but it doesn't work after the export in QT. In QT it is not possible to interrupt the sequence of the animation. When the sequence is (performed) finalized, the klick on the arrow works, and I can go to next slide.
    But interruption is not pssible.
    Tanks in advance for your answer!
    Best regards - Renate

  • Keynote 09 to Powerpoint with media files

    Can anyone direct me to a tutorial etc. that walks me through the export command Keynote to Powerpoint, "BUT" allows the media files (usually .mov) to transfer as well?
    I have tried the "making a folder with the media files (.mov, .avi, .mp4) and the converted Powerpoint (.pptx or .ppt) but nothing seems to work.
    Thanks,
    Doc

    Yeah, my son (grade 6) attempted to export his keynote '09 to powerpoint and that was a disaster, most of the photographs resumed their size and positioning prior adjustments made earlier in keynote. then tried to export as dvd and I kept getting messages about something to do about a fault with earlier in the chain. i cannot remember. so then tried to save it to dvd with manual adjusting i kept getting that message. then clicked onto timed adjusting and it worked. so i think its got something to so with the manual adjustment.

  • Can I create a slide show from a Powerpoint/Keynote file?

    I have some birthday pictures from a friend's party that they would like a DVD of. They have a Windows machine, and so for a first pass, I created a Powerpoint slide show, with text added to the pictures. They would now like a DVD version of that slide show. Is there a way to import a *.pps or Keynote file directly into iDVD 5 to create a slide show? Or do I have to start over again? If so, is there a way in iPhoto to add text to the photos?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Reformatting images with .ppt file extensions (Powerpoint)

    Morning everyone,
    A friend of mine sent an image file to me that was in the .ppt (Powerpoint) format. I know that I can easily view the image file via a slide show presentation using Quick Look. There are several images in the file that I would like to save to my computer and Print. Is there any way to reformat the file or an image contained in the file to a JPEG format so that I may save it in my Pictures folder?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks for reading my post.

    Ira, just checking in on this thread to say I ran into a similar problem with a user. He has Office 2007, and has several ppt that were created with Office 2003 saved on a thumb drive. He took it to a presentation room with Office 2010 installed, and several
    of the older 2003 ppt would crash Power Point, but not all of them. They all seemed to open fine using Office 2007 though. I helped him save all his 2003 ppt files to 2007 pptx files using his 2007 version of Office, and now they open fine in either 2007 or
    2010 on any machine. We are close to moving all our users away from Office 2003, so this seemed like the easiest way to resolve it, although I still consider it a work around.

  • Powerpoint file prints as image

    When I print a pdf file from powerpoint, all pages print as images. The same file on another computer prints correctly as a pdf file. Does anyone know why and what setting I can change so that the pages do not print as images.
    Thanks

    Just to be sure, do you mean "Adobe PDF" or "pdf"? If the latter, do you have some other PDF printer installed? Being careful in terms of how you describe things can save a lot of time in helping.
    What versions of Acrobat and Office are you using? These may or not be important, but they may be the key to the problem. I have been looking through PPT 2003 and can't find anything that would cause the result to be a graphic.

  • Keynote Export to PowerPoint

    Well, I was using this work around just fine, until I upgraded to Office 2008.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1341613
    Now I can't even open that PowerPoint file at all. I get the error in PowerPoint that it experienced an error and had to quit.
    I'd love to blame Microsoft for this, but feel it is an issue with Keynote.
    Any help on this one?
    My PowerPoint version is 12.1.3
    Keynote version 4.0.3

    i'm having the same problem with exporting from keynote to powerpoint. I try to open an exported ppt file in powerpoint but it gives me an error - very frustrating. Also, when I exported it, it didn't export all the slides (when i open the ppt file with keynote).
    I ended up saving it as an iwork 06 file - opened it from a keynote '06 version and then exported it. All the slides where there but when i go to powerpoint version 12 and open it - it doesn't. It did open in the old powerpoint version though.
    both keynote and powerpoint have serious export problems -- grrr.

  • Keynote blind to Keynote files

    When I open Keynote, firstly it only remembers 2 previous presentations that have not been opened for months, but does not remember more recently opened files. Secondly, because of this bug, when I use the search bar and type in the name of the file I know I have recently worked on, it can't see it on the hard drive - even though it is there. It comes up with PowerPoint presentations of a similar name, but not a single Keynote file.
    I have repaired permissions, I have been in System Prefs and played around with the options to reset Number Of Recent Items etc etc. It makes no difference. After a while, those same 2 Keynote files appear in the Recently Opened list - even though they have no right to be there.
    Any thoughts anyone?
    Cheers
    Chris

    The following procedure has helped solve many issues with Keynote:
    1 Close all iWork applications.
    2 Uninstall iWork using an application removal tool.
       Appcleaner works well for this purpose and is freeware.
       To be effective, all iWork applications have to be removed, not just Keynote.
       You must use an application removal tool to completely remove the iWork installation.
    3  Empty the Trash.
    4  Shut down the Mac, then restart and press the shift key immediately after the startup sound, release      shift when the Apple icon appears. Allow the Mac to boot up to the desktop, it will take longer then usual      as the hard drive is being repaired.
    5  restart the Mac
    6  Reinstall iWork using either the original install files or log into the Mac app store and down load and install
    7  Repair permissions:  Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > First  Aid:  
        click on your system disc in the drive column and select Repair  Disk Permissions
    8  open Keynote and test
    Post back to let us know if this was successful.

  • Protecting content / locking master Keynote file

    Apple, it's been over 7 years now the iWork community has been screaming for a fix to the most glaring problem with Keynote... being able to protect the content or password protecting the file from being modified.
    There are so many ways to address this critical error:
    1. Password protect the master file to disallow changes/editing.
    2. Password protect elements of editing and copying within the master file
    3. Generating a player (like PowerPoint) that allows control but not modification.
    There is currently zero way to protect source content when sharing a 'Keynote' file.
    Saving the file as a movie does not allow for presentation control.
    It's absolutely absurd that after 7 years this has not been addressed.
    My question is;
    Does Apple have any intention of implementing a way to secure master files, content, from theft & modification?
    This one feature would propel 'Keynote' from being a hobbyists toy - to being the de-facto presentation software for business.
    Amazing software, but 100% useless for business until this error is addressed.
    Is it that hard to put password protection on a file?

    For the first issues, what you can do is rename the field in the second table and make it read-only, thus preventing the user from interacting with it. To automatically copy the value form the first field to the second, you can use the following custom Validate script for the first field:
    // Custom Validate script for text field
    getField("text2").value = event.value;
    Alternatively, you can set the second field to be a calculated field, and use the following custon Calculate script:
    // Custom Calculate script for the second text field
    event.value = getField("text1").valueAsString;
    Replace "text1" and "text2" with whatever you named the fields.
    For the second question, if you make the total field read-only, the user won't be able to interact with the field.
