LaTeXiT equations with Keynote 6.5

Hi,
After upgrading to Yosemite (10.10) and Keynote (6.5) and shifting to iCloud, I find that LaTeXiT has hiccups: I can still insert the equations into my Keynote presentations, but if I try to copy and paste an equation, or to copy and paste an entire page from the presentation, the equation disappears and gets replaced by a grayed-out rectangle with its diagonals crossed-out. This is not super-consistent, as occasionally the paste succeeds, but after one or two successful ones the crossed-rectangle starts to happen again. This suggests that Keynote corrupts the PDF files that LaTeXiT inserts. Any workarounds?:
Thanks

Check this thread and see if the workaround presented would work for you.

  • Latex Equations in Keynote as PDF.

    I use Latex-IT or Latex Equation Editor to create equations as PDF files and drop them in Keynote. They work file for some time.
    But, after a few days or so, when I open the keynote files, the PDF equations are not displayed properly. Sometimes, this goes off when I restart the system; sometimes it doesn't.
    This happens with other files when I generate PDFs from Omnigraffle etc. I cannot view it in Preview correctly, but can view the PDFs in Acrobat Reader correctly. Looks like whenever Preview (or the underlying OS feature) is used for reading PDFs, the problems arise.
    I will be happy to give example PDF files that you can check with.
    Thanks,
    Macademia Nut.

    It definitely sounds like a problem with the underlying OS, since Keynote, Preview and OmniGraffle use the same native resources whereas Adobe Acrobat has it's own way of processing the PDFs. The recent Tiger update was supposed to solve some of these glitches.
    You could try saving a few of the problematic PDFs from Adobe Acrobat or even Illustrator to see if that gives you a workable file.
    The other possibility is to re-export your equations in TIFF format from LaTex Equation Editor. It's not as ideal as PDF, but at least you'll will have something that works.
    It would be worthwhile to send feedback to Apple and let them know of your problems. It could be that the formatting in your PDFs have uncovered some bug in the system that they are not aware of.

  • How to insert and edit equations with Math Type in IBA??

    Hi,
    I want to add  fractions in IBA with Math Type.
    Here is what i found:
    And here is the General Preferences
    Like you see, i can't select Insert and edit equations with Math Type, it's grey.
    How can i use Math Type?
    Tx

    We have an article that describes not only how to use MathType with iBooks Author (iBA), but also using LaTeX and MathML. http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/works_with.asp#!target=ibooks_author_m ac
    It's important to note that no matter how you get equations into iBA, all equations are represented as MathML in the published iBook. (except, obviously I hope, equations that are simply images that you insert)
    If you need more help, feel free to ask here.

  • How to insert a LaTeX equation in a quiz? Captivate 8

    How to insert a LaTeX equation in a quiz? Captivate 8

    Video was based on an explanations somewhere on my blog, both for replay and for audio (in 6-7: http://blog.lilybiri.com/toggle-shape-buttons). Same for the mute button, where I told the author that there is a bit of a maths mistake in his expression:
    Expression cpCmndMute = 1 - cpCmndMute     
    He reversed it, which will lead to negative 1. Lucky for him that Captivate doesn't understand negative numbers, -1 will be translated to +1. But as an engineer, this feels terribly wrong to me. I don't know why he deleted my comment....
    Sorry for ranting...
    As for a replay button, in CP5.5 maybe this easier expression could work as well: Assign cpCmndGotoSlide with rdinfoCurrentSlide.  
    Should check, but for the moment on this system no 5.5 available

  • I am having a major problem saving with keynote 6.2.

    I recently bought a new MacBook which came with Keynote 6.2 preinstalled. I can make and save presentations in it fine. But when I later go to open those presentations with the exact same Keynote program I make them in, I get an error message saying I need a newer version of Keynote to open those files. I've double checked and my version of Keynote is fully updated, so I don't know what newer version it could be talking about. Can anyone explain how it's even possible to save in a file format that the program can't open? At the very least does anyone know how to change the default file format for saving?

  • Can I use a graphics tablet such as Wacom with Keynote?

    I would like to be able to use my Graphics tablet with Keynote to write on my slides while teaching. I am able to use the pen tablet with Powerpoint, I just select pen for pointer and pen color. How do I do this in Keynote?
    Thanks for your help,
    Jackk

    I don't think you can do that within Keynote itself. Is there anything useful in the Inkwell preferences? I have never used a tablet with a Mac before, but I think that Inkwell would have some kind of annotation feature.

  • Keynote remote app no longer working with keynote for ipad

    noticed after upgrading that the keynote remote does not pair with keynote for the ipad.  Any suggestion on a resolution or anyone else experiencing this issue?

    I didn't realize until I went to a class to lecture in front of a couple hundred students that what worked on Friday no longer worked on Monday.  (I upgraded to iOS 5 over the weekend.)  My iPad with lecture slides was plugged in 25 feet away.  I finally recruited a student to tap the iPad screen when I needed the next slide.  A nightmare.  What is usually slick and seamless was a wreck. 
    Here's my deal.  My remote app works fine at home where my iPod Touch and iPad are on the same wifi network.  At school they're on different networks for some reason.  Bluetooth doesn't work anywhere.  So Apple needs to find this bug and fix it.  I can't believe whoever is responsible for this didn't test this out before they released iOS 5.  Sheesh. 

  • Is two-sided printing possible with Keynote?

    The power point slides for one of my classes opens in keynote so I have to print from there but my question is, is it possible to print on both sides when using keynote? When I go to print, and then the printing options I can see a two-sided printing option but for some reason I'm unable to click on it. I don't think its because of the printer I'm using because I've printed on both sides using Microsoft word with my printer before. I just can't seem to do it with keynote.
    Should I just copy & paste to Pages to use two-sided printing?
    Message was edited by: AshesAshes

    I just checked any I can select two sided printing with my printer in Keynote, so I don't know why you wouldn't be able to if you have a printer that is capable of it.
    But instead of copy and paste, I would export it as a .pdf (Share>Export>pdf) and then you can try to print two sided in Preview and if that doesn't work, then add the .pdf files to Pages and print.

  • Corrupted files with Keynote 08

    Hi,
    I will try to be as clear as possible because the problem I have is potentially dangerous for any Keynote user. I have been a Keynote user for many years now and I use it systematically to make conferences and conventions. It's really fun to work with that software. But a problem has recently occured with the latest version.
    Like many independant workers, I use to work at my office and later at home. So I backup my files on a portable HD to finish them later. I use a backup program that saves that perfectly
    Many days ago, I wanted to reopen a keynote file at home when I realized that there was something wrong. When the file opened, it showed me the state of the file BEFORE the backup. First I thought I had forgotten to do the backup. But when I got back on the Finder, I saw that Quick Look showed me the most recent version of the file. More, with a right click on the file I opened the package and I saw all the images embeded in my keynote presentation. So I returned to Keynote and noticed somrthing really weird : the thumbnails show the right of the slides, but the slides themselves are wrong. I had no choice but to make the slides again and finally thought I had done something wrong. But the same thing occured today. And I am sure the backup has been done correctly.
    I have tried to save the document as another name to see what happens. When I do so the file is saved without the embeded images that were previously in the package. To resume, if your right file weighed 80 Mo with 50 Mo of images, when you save your corrupted file, it only weighs 30 Mo.
    There has been problems with Keynote in the past. Some images were "lost" after a backup but were present in the package. But this is REALLY a problem because you simply lose your work.
    i f any of you has an answer I would appreciate. And I hope I made myself clear, because even in French, it would have been hard to explain correctly.

    I have today encountered a problem opening old Keynote presentations on my new iMac running Leopard. It cannot open any of the old presentations on my machine because it says they are damaged.
    I also could not open an old Pages file because it says the file is corrupt and there was a .xml missing. I later managed to open this by searching for it directly through the application "Open" command and following the search path. It then gave the usual " This was created by a previous version of Pages..." and the Save as warning, but it did open when I went this route. (I have now saved this document as Pages 08 and all is well).
    There seems to be a bug in the iWork '08 suite when it comes to older documents.

  • Video made with Keynote don't work with QuickTime

    I have made 10 seconds animation with Keynote and exported it as a video with the highest resolution (.MOV). The Keynote file includes three slides. All the slides plays with Quicktime 7.6.9 (1680.8) in my old Mac G5 (sys. 10.5.8.) and throughout the animation works fine. But only the first slide plays with Quicktime 10.0 (118) in my Mac Book Pro sys. 10.6.7. Would it help uppdate to the system to 10.6.8?

  • Linking Keynote on iPod-Touch with Keynote on MacBookPro does not work.

    I purchased Keynote 5.0.5(942) for my MacBookPro (MacOS 10.6.7), and
    KeynoteRemote 1.2 (53) for my iPod-Touch 4th generation.
    I am trying to link KeynoteRemote on the iPodTouch with Keynote on MacBook Pro.
    KeynoteRemote gives me a Passcode, which I enter in the preferences panel on Keynote for MacBookPro.
    Verification does not work. Nothing happens, and after sometime an error message appears that
    verification has failed.
    I have tried to do all combinations of setting the firewall on or off, and checked out all linkage and network settings.
    Does anybody know what the tricks are to get KeynoteRemote to work with Keynote on MacBookPro?
    Or does KeynotePro not work at all?

    thanks, David. it works now. I think the problem was the firewall. I fixed it now.

  • Equation with dynamic variable

    Is it possible to use one equation with 2 or more variables and make one of these variable as an output without changing the equation?
    Take the equation below example:
    R=x/(0.28706/0.46153+x)*(101.325/P)
    As usual, by inserting the values of x and P, then value of R will be answered.
    But if only the value of R and x can be inserted, how can the value of P to be answered without altering the equation.
    The equation is being used multiple time in the same VI. One is for generating one part of a graph (Mollier Diagram) and the others are to be used to find the value at the intersection.
    I hope my question is understandable.
    Thank you in advance
    -sikat
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    R = (x/(a+x)*(b/P) ... thx, this really will be helping me to make this Eq more understandable
    Formula Node:
    It seem that when i entered an equation(Eq), only the left side of the Eq can only be one variable thus producing a single output.
    Case Structure(or SELECT function):
    It changes the formula to a new form for every output. Let say i want make x an output. That means i need to create a new Eq : x=(P*R/b-1)*a, which i want to avoid if posible .
    .... Does this means that a new Eq must be created/converted for each output.
    Newton Raphson zero finder vi: (base on this N-R Example)
    I have tried using this VI by making my Eq equivalent to zero and using SELECT function depending on situation. Somehow i think it will work, but the VI seem too bulky for one simple formula (with 2 variable and 1 output), which i want to avoid since many more formula will be used.
    I ll be glad to see more suggestions.

  • Need some help with Keynote export

    I want to create an swf file from Keynote that will be used in a looped Powerpoint slideshow. It will be no longer than 1 minute long.
    I create the file and export as a .mov.
    Then I used Visualhub to convert to an .swf. People have had lots of issues playing it
    Then I converted the .mov file to .flv with Adobe Media Encoder, opened it in Flash and exported as .swf.
    More problems.
    I really like the ease of use and effects in keynote but the exporting is really bad.
    Are there any alternatives programs for the mac.
    I have already had a look at Sliderocket but it is web based which makes it slower and put images in slides a lot longer.
    I really need to find a way of making decent swf files with good effects etc

    Dave,
    The issue seems to be with Flash and how it is converting the QuickTime movie, rather than an issue with Keynote. If the QuickTime movie plays fine in QuickTime Player, then the export from Keynote to QuickTime is fine and indeed the issue is in the conversion from QuickTime to Flash.
    While this is not a forum for PowerPoint, check out the supported multimedia formats for PowerPoint - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint/HA012303251033.aspx. Flash is not listed. So while it might play, you might consult Microsoft.
    I would recommend using one of the following products to convert your QuickTime file to a PowerPoint supported format, other than Flash:
    Flip4Mac
    http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm
    Studio, Studio Pro, or Studio Pro HD. You can convert your QuickTime movies to WMV a fully supported format by PowerPoint. You can export to QuickTime and then use the Flip4Mac application to convert.
    MPEG Streamclip
    http://www.squared5.com
    You can convert to various formats including AVI and MPG, both which PowerPoint supports. This is application can be found for both Mac and PC at.
    Finally, a company does make Flash plugin tools "Flash Ready" for PowerPoint, due to the possible issues of adding Flash to PowerPoint. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/EM102525451033.aspx?pid=CE01030605 1033

  • TeX 9 - LaTeX ftplugin with lots of firepower

    Original Post
    Hello fellow Archers,
    Some of you might be interested in trying out my Vim ftplugin TeX 9. If you like to prepare your LaTeX documents with Vim, chances are that you already use some ftplugin for that (LaTeX-Vim, ATP...). So why bother with TeX 9? I wrote it because I thought I could achieve everything LaTeX-Vim does in fraction of the SLOCs and I didn't want to automate the compilation/edit cycle like ATP. After all, Vim is an editor and LaTeX documents are not meant to be WYSIWYG in nature. In similar vein I wanted the ftplugin to be as Vimish as possible and not step on your toes, or fingers I should say.
    Update Sept 12 2014
    The latest version is available from Vim.org and from GitHub after they sync with Vim.org. The version 1.3.13 contains some small fixes I've come up with over this year. For example, you can now configure TeX-9 to use the -shell-escape flag which is required when using Minted for syntax highlighted code listings.
    Update Aug 10 2013
    Okaay, I'm reloaded! Get TeX-9 1.3.7 from Vim.org. This is a bugfix release of the 1.3.1 I published a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to the Archers who have helped me in debugging.
    Many of you probably want to use the git repos maintained at GitHub (http://vim-scripts.org/). However, I have no control over these repositories and I don't know when they'll update my plugin to the latest version.
    What this plugin does
    Compile, debug and launch a document viewer from within Vim
    Insert LaTeX code snippets with ease
    Powerful text-object for LaTeX environments
    Omni-completion of BibTeX database entries and label references
    Omni-completion of mathematical symbols
    SyncTeX support (for the Evince document viewer)
    Filetype specific indentation (courtesy of Johannes Tanzler)
    LaTeX2e manual (ported to Vim by Mikolaj Machowski)
    No-hassle settings, relatively few mappings

    I don't use NERDTree myself but TeX 9 is designed to play nicely with other buffers and windows, be they latex documents or other source code. If you want to try out TeX 9 and have vim-latex already installed, it's best to unzip the tarball from vim.org to a location of your choice and rename your "~/.vim" to "~/vim" say. Then you can say
    let &runtimepath.=',/path/to/it/tex_nine-1.2'
    in your .vimrc. To revert to vim-latex, well, do the opposite: remove that line and rename vim back to .vim.
    This is to avoid conflicts that could arise because of vim-latex. If I remember correctly, it's not possible to disable or remove vim-latex very easily. If you like my script and would like to use it permanently, you would then need to somehow manually remove vim-latex. In contrast, if you would like to disable my script, you can say in your .vimrc.
