Keynote slides printing puzzle
I've done a lot of work on Pages over the years, but I'm really inexperienced with Keynote.
I want to print some slides (actually web site pages) from a presentation and have each one fill a single 8.5x11 page.
I've read Keynote Help – re: Printing Slides – in detail, but all I seem to be able get is a 5x8 (mol) image to print out.
Is that the biggest I can expect?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Let me suggest another approach that might solve your problem.
Does your printer driver software let you print multiple 'slides' on a single page?
Then you don't have to resize/redesign everything manually.
The Keynote and the printer software do the resizing.
For example, my (monochrome) HP LaserJet 1320 driver can print from 2 to 16 'pages' on a single sheet. (It also offers a 'booklet' option.)
I used a 1024x768 screen slide resolution and selected '4 pages per sheet' (landscape orientation) in the default printer driver under Layout.
In the Keynote options, I selected 'Individual Slide' option, but Keynote also offers Slides with Notes, Outline, and Handout options, and I think all Keynote choices are independent of printer selection. (If I did not select '4-pages on 1' in Layout, the Keynote would only offer 1 slide per page in this view.)

I am trying to print keynote slides in handout format with notes. The notes are cut-off. Is there a solution to this problem?
You can also turn off the automatic capitalization if you find it gets in the way too often:
Settings -> Keyboard -> Auto-Capitalization

Printing n Keynote slides per page.
Hey all,
We regularly have to print out presentations but have previously exported the images to photoshop and printed six on a sheet using Contact Sheet.
I've just found out we can do something similar in Keynote '08 but it only prints down one side, wasting a lot of paper. is there a way of using the whole sheet of paper ie:
1 2
3 4
5 6
Many thanks.
MichaelOkay, I just struggled for a good 45 minutes until I finally figured it out. Here it is, step by step.
-Go to print and hit the little box with the arrow facing up to display the additional screen
-While in the "keynote" section on the drop-down box, select "Individual Slides"
-Click on the "layout" and select how many "pages per sheet" you would like (I believe both 6 and 9 are an option, and I think you'd want the first option
-Go back to the "keynote" section and select that would want all the slides printed, and you should be good to go! I just did it exactly how I described it and I also have iWork '09
Hope I helped!
I actually just thought of something. If you're doing what I described above and it's still not working, when you're on the keynote part and under the printer name it says "pages: all or from _ to _", trying putting in from slides 1 to (however many you have) and try it that way.

Problem with slide block puzzle
Hello:
I am doing a project that solve slide-block puzzles. My program take two common line arguments. One is a file specifying the initial configuration while the other specify goal configuration. My idea is to use an arrayList<block > to represent a configuration with each element being a block, for each block, I stores all possible configurations after moving the block in a Hashset and Stack. I check if the goal has been reached after each move, if not, go moving next one. If the configuration has been seen before, which indicates a dead end, I pop the stack to backtrack the most recent the branch and take another path.
Unfortunately, the algorithm I came up does not work.
Can anyone propose a psudocode for me?
Also, my program should print out all moves directly towards the goal but I can not figure out how to only print out the moves directly towards the goal and avoid printing those leading to dead end.
You can see specification http://nifty.stanford.edu/2007/clancy-slidingblocks/proj3.html.
I will be really really appreciated.Well, that was harder than I thought!
Anyway, the algorithm can be quite simple: a BFS finds a solution pretty fast. Here's some pseudo code:
public class Solver {
private Set<Integer> alreadyFormedTrays; // A set of already formed trays
private List<Block> goalList; // The final goal(s)
private boolean foundSolution = false; // A flag flipped to true once we find a solution
private Tray startTray; // The initial tray
public Solver(String[] tray, String[] goals) {
alreadyFormedTrays = new HashSet<Integer>();
goalList = new ArrayList<Block>();
buildTray(tray);
buildGoals(goals);
private void buildGoals(String[] goalsData) {
// Fill the 'goalList'.
private void buildTray(String[] trayData) {
// Create the first tray: 'startTray'.
private boolean goalsReached(Tray aTray) {
// Check wether we have reached our goal(s).
public void solve() {
alreadyFormedTrays.add(startTray.hashCode());
System.out.println("START=\n"+startTray);
solve(startTray);
private void solve(Tray aTray) {
IF we found a solution, stop looping END IF
IF 'aTray' reached our goal(s)
foundSolution <- true
print the path 'aTray' has taken
stop looping
END IF
'nextTrays' <- all next trays that can be formed from 'aTray'
FOR every Tray 'T' in 'nextTrays' DO
'hash' <- a hash of 'T'
IF 'hash' is not yet present in 'alreadyFormedTrays'
add 'hash' in 'alreadyFormedTrays'
make a recursively call with 'T' as a parameter
ENDIF
ENDFOR
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] trayFile = {
"5 4",
"2 1 0 0",
"2 1 0 3",
"2 1 2 0",
"2 1 2 3",
"2 2 1 1",
"1 2 3 1",
"1 1 4 0",
"1 1 4 1",
"1 1 4 2",
"1 1 4 3"
String[] goalFile = {
"2 2 3 1"
Solver s = new Solver(trayFile, goalFile);
s.solve();
}As I said: the algorithm isn't that hard, the tricky part comes in finding all possible Trays from a given Tray X and making copies based on X.
Here are some UML diagrams of the classes I used:
| |
| + Tray |
|______________________________________|
| |
| ROWS: int |
| COLUMNS: int |
| - freeSpaces: byte[][] |
| blocks: List<Block> |
| path: List<Atom[]> |
|______________________________________|
| |
| + Tray(r: int, c: int): << constr >> |
| + Tray(tray: Tray): << constr >> |
| + addBlock(b: Block): boolean |
| + generateNextTrays(): List<Tray> |
| + removeBlock(b: Block): void |
|______________________________________|
| |
| + Block |
|__________________________________________________________________________________________|
| |
| HEIGHT: int |
| WIDTH: int |
| name: char |
| atoms: List<Atom> |
|__________________________________________________________________________________________|
| |
| + Block(n: char, height: int, width: int, startRow: int, startColumn: int): << constr >> |
| + Block(b: Block): << constr >> |
| - buildAtoms(startRow: int, startColumn: int): void |
| + getUpperLeft(): Atom |
| + move(m: Move): void |
|__________________________________________________________________________________________|
| |
| + Atom |
|______________________________________|
| |
| row: int |
| column: int |
|______________________________________|
| |
| + Atom(r: int, c: int): << constr >> |
| + Atom(a: Atom): << constr >> |
| + move(m: Move): void |
|______________________________________|I removed the equals(...), hashCode() and toString() methods for clarity, you should implement them, of course.
The Move class you see in there is an enum, and looks like this:
public enum Move {
UP (-1, 0),
RIGHT ( 0, 1),
DOWN ( 1, 0),
LEFT ( 0, -1);
final int deltaRow, deltaColumn;
private Move(int dr, int dc) {
deltaRow = dr;
deltaColumn = dc;
}If you have any questions about the methods/variables in the class diagrams, feel free to post back.
Good luck. -
Importing Keynote slides into Pages
I'm new to a Mac. I'm doing a copy and paste of Keynote slides into a Pages document. The quality of the slide image is very poor when printed. I've done this many times before in Windows (with PPT and Word) and the quality is very high. I thought it might be the slide template I chose but then tried several others and the quality is still poor. Anybody have any suggestions?
Briarlynn
Why not check what it is you are getting when you copy and paste?
Is the entire slide being rasterised to a bitmap?
What resolution is the original slide and is it being changed when you copy and paste.
More to the point is how are you printing the final Pages document?
If you are going to .pdf file first and there is transparency, reflections or shadows then that will be rasterised to a low 72dpi thanks to Apple's bad settings in OSX's ColorSync filters.
If the Keynote images look fine in Pages even when you zoom in on them, then the problem very likely is the ColorSync filters.

How can you save keynote slides as high resolution (300 dpi) images?
Apparently there is a way to save powerpoint slides as 300 dpi images, with some finagling, but not the mac version. Does anyone know how to do this in keynote? Or is there a relativley easy way to do it with free/cheap software? I can increase the dpi in photoshop, but it doesn't produce crisp images for obvious reasons.
how can you save keynote slides as high resolution (300 dpi)
to save individual images from each slide in Keynote; file > export > images > TIFF (for optimum quality)
You are using the wrong terminology to describe creating an image file
- dpi ( meaning dots per inch ) is the measurement used in printing to create the number of print dots per inch that will be deposited on to physical media like paper or film This is done in the printer settings box of the print driver and is dependant on how the individual printer can print..
ppi ( meaning pixels per inch ) is the measurement you need to use when creating the number of pixels in a digital image file. You establish image resolution in Keynote using the inspector;
Keynote > inspector > document > slide size
I can increase the dpi in photoshop, but it doesn't produce crisp images for obvious reasons.
You can resample images in editing applications such as Photoshop or Painter but what you are doing is adding non image information to the image to increase pixel count, this is called noise. As you state this is not the procedure to use in your situation. -
I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)? I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.
If you add a new slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data), to an existing presentation then save, Keynote will only save the new content to the file, it wont save pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
The time taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again. -
How can I create a full-screen view of Keynote slide in Snow Leopard?
How can I create a full-screen view of my Keynote slides in Snow Leopard?
I'm going to be importing into ScreenFlow to create a video.
Thank you!!Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Do you want static screen captures or motion video of slides as titles, bullet points, and the like are presented?
Run the Keynote slide presentation in full-screen mode, then...
Static full-screen captures - use Command+Shift+3.
Static partial-screen captures - use Command+Shift+4 and use cursor to select the area of the screen to capture.
If you want motion video as builds occur, why not use Keynote's built-in Share, Export function?
(I'm on iLife '09.)
Also understand that the default slide format for Keynote is 1024x768, not full-screen MacBook 1280x800 screen size, so you'll have wide black borders unless you change the default size or crop the finished screen captures.

Keynote slides with video - not linking in Ibooks Author
Hi
I have a problem with linking Keynote slides containing videos in Ibooks author. I am using the latest version of both programs on Yosemity (6.5.2 keynote, Ibooks Author 2.2 )
The keynotes is set up with ‘Links Only’ and it works perfectly in Keynote. In Ibooks author the ‘link only’ is not working and the slides just progresses to next one. Like the Presentation type was set to normal, whether or not I press the link or outside the link. The exact same keynote slides without the video doesn’t have this problem and links perfectly in Ibooks Author. The result is the same testing the Ibook directly on the Mac or on the Ipad Air (8.1.2)
To make sure about the video types I tried a number of different ones (different Mac/Ipad video conversion programs) all with the same result. The result is also the same whether it plays ‘on page’ or ‘full-screen’ in the Ibook. The videos all plays perfectly but the links are not working.
Saving the keynote to 09 seemed to solve the problem. I am new to Ibooks author …. And the whole Mac environment. But I am thinking it’s supposed to work without having to do this????
The same happened when I tested a linked keynote example from Lynda.com. ‘Ibooks essential training’. Only in the 09 version it was working with the links, when the slides had videos. This example was off course also created in an earlier Keynote version.
Niles , DenmarkThis is a problem that I've reported both here and via bugreport.apple.com. However, I don't think that it has to do with screen resolution (retina/non-retina). Rather, I think it has to do with setting the widget to "full screen" where transport controls cannot be used and selecting a "Links Only" presentation.
I used simple forward and back arrows set (Control-click on object) to go to next slide or previous slide. What I found was that while this works as designed when played back in Keynote (OS X or iOS) but not in the Keynote widget. The links only setting and these hyperlinks are totally ignored in the Keynote widget. Tapping anywhere went to the next slide. Tapping on the back arrow also went to the next slide, -

Can't Export Keynote slide show file to iDVD?
I am having difficulty exporting a 12mb Keynote slide show file to iDVD. When I go to export, a warning stating that 'There is not enough disc space or a problem with the file' appears. I have enough disc space and I don't think that I am corrupting the file in any way. I've also tried a 'dummy' version with only two slides in the show, still get same message. Any help is greatly appreciated.
intel 20" Mac OS X (10.4.6)I don't have a solution, but I'm having the same problem. I just installed iWork 06 and iLife 06. I have tried this on 2 machines one running 10.4.6 and the other running 10.3.9. And both give the same error. I called Tech support and first talked to the iWork department. The tech actually was having the same problem when he tried. He did research and talked to a product specialist to no avail. Then he transferred me to the product specialist, who was also having the problem and said they would escalate the issue to the engineers to see if its something they know about already or need to look at. I'm curious if anyone has actually been able to use this feature and when people started having problems. Because before installing iWork, there was a recent security update that I had installed on both these machines, and I wonder if that may have caused anything.
As far as preferences, there are two folders named Library one directly on your hard drive and one in your home folder. Both have a folder called Preferences, in Library/Preferences there's a file called com.apple.Keynote.plist and in home/library/preferences there's a file com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist These are the preference files for Keynote. On rare occassions preference files can become currupt causing errors in the application. If you delete the file the application just creates a new fresh one the next time you launch, but settings go back to default. But this sometimes fixes problems. However I have a feeling this may not work for this problem.
