Keynote hyperlink

I am working on iphone presentation. Some of hyperlinks are broken or not working after export as PDF. why? and how do I fix it?

Thanks Gary
The goal is to create PDF with all working hyperlinks for mobile prototype presentation. Right now, hyperlinks are not working. Can it be fixed with Adobe Acrobat? If so, how?
As an another option, if I purchase the mobile version of keynote, can I open the file from desktop keynote and play presentation in keynote app? Then, would all the hyperlinks work?

Keynote hyperlinks don't work after exporting to html

I'm working with Keynote in iWorks '08 on an iMac running OS 10.5.2. My hyperlinks (graphic and text) work perfectly running Keynote as a slide presentation, but not when I export it to an html format. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Jeff
PS: The hyperlinks do work after exporting in flash or pdf format, but our webmaster says I can't use those formats due to compliance issues.

I noticed this as well. What I realized is that Keynote seems to just export the slide as a .jpg with a an .html file referencing the .jpg image. So in essence it is not creating an .html file of the slides contents but rather a reference to a picture of the slide. I haven't tried but maybe "send to" iweb and then "publishing to folder" will give you what you need. Not sure.

Keynote, hyperlink to hidden slide problem

I'm currently making a keynote that on one picture has a hyperlink to a slide. When the keynote is finished I don't want the presentation to show the slides that my hyperlinks are referring to. But if I try to hide the slide the hyperlink is linked to, the hyperlink is disabled. Suggestions?!

Hi,
You could try putting a couple of blank slides or a 'the end' slide immediately after your presentation and stopping the slideshow manually.

Keynote Hyperlinks on Website

When I add hyperlinks to other Keynote pages they work fine in Keynote and on the exported Quicktime movie. However, when I then embed the Quicktime into a web page and upload it, the links are dead on the webpage. Any suggestions?

I believe this is due to a security fix in QuickTime. Some scammers would make a QuickTime movie LOOK like a normal image but, as it "played", it would start opening up browser windows at certain points in the movie. All they'd have to do is create a few malicious sites, have that movie open those sites, and your Windows machine is infected before you even realize it!
So, as a compromise, those links still work in QuickTime player, BUT they don't work when played in the browser anymore.

Keynote hyperlink failure in iweb

I have created a flash file in keynote, then exported it to iweb .... all works fine; except for any hyperlinks that were created with the file. These seem to disappear when it gets exported into iweb. The only solution that I've found is to create an invisible box shape over the subject once it's been exported, and then enable that as a hyperlink. However this doesn't cause the arrow to change to a hand, which is what I want.
Any help out there?
Macbook using keynote08 and iweb08.

Duncan, the reason for the Hyperlink not appearing as such is beyond me, but the solution would be easy.
Just make a "click me to continue" notice somewhere on the page.
Many Flash intro's have these so why not yours?

Keynote hyperlink to new file

When a hyperlink is set to open a new file, is there a way to automatically close existing file when new one is opened?

Welcome to the forums, ChrisEsch.
Having no hands-off (or even cursorless) solution is a real problem. You might export just the music-laden presentation as a high-res full-screen QT movie, and embed that as a full-slide video on the first slide of the "second" presentation. Or, if the presentation will loop continuously, a better solution might be to export both the Keynote presentation and the soundtrack into iMovie, edit the video to the audio, and create a Quicktime movie.
You might also be able to cobble something together in Applescript that automatically runs the second presentation when the first finishes, and keeps looping until stopped.
As for the black between presentations, I'm not sure there's a good answer for that within Keynote, at least not one that isn't terribly cumbersome (such as running two copies of Keynote and switching between them again using Applescript). Again, exporting one of the presentations as a movie that runs on a single slide of the other would solve this.

Can keynote hyperlink to another program

I'd like to use keynote to hyperlink to another program. According to the inspector I can only link to a quicktime movie, webpage, or another keynote file!
Any ideas?

Dear Tulse,
Thanks for your reply. I don't think it's a matter of security, this isn't anything that involves networking or sensitive data- all I wanted Keynote to do is to open up, say, a Word or an AppleWorks/Inspiration file which could then be used to brainstorm > save > then back to the presentation.
regards,
There are probably good security-related reasons why
Keynote doesn't do this. I'm also not clear what you
would want Keynote to do with the launched
application, since it can't actually communicate with
it in any fashion, nor would it be easy for the
launched app to return to the presentation when it
was finished with whatever it was doing.
With all this said, I think it would be hugely
beneficial if Keynote could run AppleScripts when an
object was clicked -- then it would much like
HyperCard, and one could launch apps and communicate
with them very easily. The security issues would
still apply (for that matter, there'd be more of a
risk), but I'm sure there would be a way around this
issue.

Keynote hyperlink issue

Having issues when using hyperlink function to link to another keynote file. When hyperlink is clicked, the linked file shows up for less than a second, then black screen is seen for approx 6 seconds. After that both files are open on the screen and keynote is no longer in play mode. Have never had this issue prior to updating to OSX.Kind of a bummer when giving a long presentation having to go mess with keynote 30 times instead of just clicking on the hyperllink....

Hi,
I've the same problem since 5.1 keynote. I needed to downgrade iWork to get back the full functionality.
Apple, is there any bugfix? We wait for it!

Keynote hyperlinking

I am crafting a rolling trivia presentation. I have a home slide that has hyperlinks to all of the categories of my trivia. Each category is a seperate keynote presentation that I advance through via the space bar. Is there a way to set up the category presentations, so that at the end, the final space bar stroke will hyperlink back to my categories page? Failing that, is there a better way for me to set up the Trivia while maitaining its ease of change?

Hyperlinks need objects to hold the hyperlink and you need to click on the object to activate the link - this means that just using the spacebar won't work, you will have to click on the object.
Try this: On the last slide in each subset Keynote file, create an object (a shape or image) - it can be invisible with no fill or border, and it can cover the entire slide if nothing else needs to be clicked on. Just be sure you know where the object is so you can click on it.
With the object selected, assign a hyperlink back to the Home Slide.
Note: Hyperlinks to other Keynote files can only link to the first slide of the file, so your use of a single Home Slide will work fine.

Why does my Keynote hyperlink take me to the wrong slide?

I've created a hyperlink to direct me to slide #2 in my presentation, but when I play the slideshow, it goes back to slide 1 instead. Please help!

Thanks, Gary! What I discovered in the course of following your suggestion was that if I hyperlink the *text box* it malfunctions, but if I highlight the *text* in the box, it works. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Hyperlink BUG. Confirmed at Apple Store in Spain

Hi All.
I couldn´t believe at the beginning but it's real. Keynote hyperlinks have a bug. Went to an Apple Store in Spain and confirmed it with their technical support.
If you try to hyperlink a Keynote presentation from another one you may discover that Keynote exits from play mode and returns to design mode. ***!!
Try this:
     Create a Keynote file, 1 slide (or more if you wanna loose time). (Lets call it P1)
     Create a second Keynote file, 1 slide. (idem) (Lets call it P2)
     Create a hyperlink on whichever slide of P1 to open P2.
     Close P2.
     Launch P1 - enter play mode.
     Click on the hyperlink (it should launch P2)
     It shows first slide of P2 for half a second and..... ¡ ¡ Keynote exists from play mode and gets back to design mode ! !
Is this really what Apple wanted the hyperlink to another keynote file work? Don´t think so.
You may find that if you relaunch P1 and reclic on the hyperlink..... it works! ! ! ! That´s because P2 is already opened. Close P2 and try again..... E R R O R !
Please, take notice of this bug and give it a solution. It`s not a good business to set things on the applications that don´t work. What would Steve (R.I.P) think about this?
Hope for a soon update of the application for solving this.
Thanks

The readers of this forum are Keynote users and not Apple employees, we have no influence at all in Apple decisions.
Hyperlinks work as they should on my systems and most other users, I have never heard of this issue but I know how such things are very annoying. There are a few teething issues with the latest version of Keynote running on Mountain Lion, as you may have read from the other posts.
The following routine maintenance procedure sorts out many of these problems so it is well worth spending 10 minutes going through the following:
1
Uninstall all of iWork if you have this, otherwise uninstall Keynote if other iWork applications are not installed.
Use the free application Appcleaner to do this as it will remove the applications properly. It can be downloaded here: Appcleaner Download
2
empty the trash
3
Reinstall Keynote or iWork using the original method on purchase using the installer file or installed from the App Store
4
shutdown the Mac and restart holding down the shift key until the apple logo appears
let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer to start as it is repairing software on the hard drive
5
go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility > First Aid > Repair Disc Permissions
when this is completed restart the Mac normally
Report back on how you got on.

Can I create sets of slides?

I'm making slides with song lyrics so people can sing along. I have 11 songs and each song has several slides.
Is there a way to group each song into a set of slides in the same presentation?
Thanks!

Why not just keep multiple Keynote files open, then just switch from one to the next. You could probably make an additional Keynote hyperlinks-only presentation as kind of an "index" -- one slide with a hyperlink to each of your music-and-lyrics Keynotes. Just arrange the slides in the order that you want to access your songs. Each song can have a hyperlink back to the common hyperlinks-only file on the last slide.

Smart Builds to Quicktime

I have created a keynote hyperlink only presentation that incorporates various smart builds. When the Presentation is exported as a Quicktime Movie the Smart builds don't play unless they you right click them and select play. Is there any way of making them play automatically?

I am having the exact same problem. If I save as manual rather than hyperlink only, the smart builds work, but now a stray mouse click moves to the next slide, rather than letting the presenter only navigate through my strategic hyperlinks.

Quicktime slides show movies not working in iweb

made keynote (hyperlinks only) slideshows, then exported to quicktime. slideshows work on desk top but not online in iweb o8 ( movie pages). Largest show is 4.4mb. they sometimes work, but mostly run on arbitrary loop. if i cant figure this out I might have to leave iweb. have I missed somthing simple?

I solved the problem by simply removing Safari and using an other browser. I'll have to remove the sentence on my webpages that advises people to use Safari.

Keynote and hyperlink (webpage) question, please help

Hi, I know how to insert a hyperlink in a Keynote slide and have it open a web link on a Safari window. However, when I use the presenter's view from my MBA connected to an external projector, the Safari window won't display on the external projector unless I switch to "mirror display" mode. The problem is: once I am done with the webpage and want to return to presenter view mode, I am unable to do it instantaneously. I click on the green arrow on the Keynote icon, but I now see my presentation on my MBA screen mirrored and not in presenter mode. I remember when I had the PB 12" I was able to toggle the option for mirroring and separate screen by using F7, but that option doesn't seem available on the MBA. Do I need to change the Keynote preference? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

This doesn't really answer your question and I hope somebody comes up with a more efficient solution. However, this is what I do to overcome your problem. The second display (on the external projector) is to the right of the main presenter display. Before the presentation I move the Safari window on my laptop to the right, off the screen. If you have the projector on you will see the window and mouse appear.
This is also how you get the mouse to control a movie being projected. Move the mouse to the right off the presenter display on to the projected display and on to the movie so that the controls appear.
I think you can change whether the projected display is on the right or left in the Displays preferences.
