PDF Export In Keynote 4.0.1 Broken

When I try to export a presentation made in keynote 4.0.1 into a pdf, the images are not properly displayed by acrobat 8.0. This is a problem for presentations on any windows machines.
Presentation Info:
1024x768
Gradiant Theme
Images have:
- picture frame stroke with hazed edges (12 %)
- reflections turned on
- shadows turned on
The images turn out black in acrobat. This worked in Keynote 3.0.

Same thing here with Keynote 4.01. Pictures will not display in Adobe Reader.
Preview will display fine. Adobe Photoshop CS3 will also show the pictures correctly. In Adobe Reader 6.0 everything is there, except the pictures. This is true for "exported" PDF's as well as "print as PDF"'s.

How do you include date in PDF export from Keynote 6.2.2

In Keynote '09, I used to be able to insert the date in the bottom of a PDF export. Now that I upgraded to Mavericks, Keynote (6.2.2) appears to only have the option to "include name and date".
That's a useless combination. Those are 2 different things: (1) the filename, and (2) the date. At best, those should be two separate checkboxes.
I miss the feature to add ONLY the date to the PDF generated. I haven't upgraded to Yosemite yet but don't have my hopes up that this feature exists.
Am I missing something? How can I include the date in a PDF exported/printed/saved from a Keynote presentation?

Events are purely automatic, and will only organise on the date and time.
Make an Album of the photos and then you can drag them to any order you want.

Keynote PDF Export and Color Profile

I have some color trouble with the pdf-exports of keynote: the color that is shown in the pdf does not correpond with the one in the keynote file. The pdf has more ”milky” colors. Maybe it is a color profile thing. But what profile doese keynote use for the screen? Or does it convert rgb-colors to cmyk? Anyway, how to sync exactly keynote and pdf colors for screen presentations?

There are a few things you can try:
In the PDF export box there is an Image Quality dropdown, where you can choose Good, Better or Best. Which are you using?
Alternatively you can just output the file as a PDF using the Print function. Your profile says you are using Mac OS X 10.4 in which case, in the print window click on the PDF button and choose Compress PDF to output a smaller file.
If you have since moved up to 10.5, this option is no longer available by default, but there is an Automator action that restores it here : http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/compresspdfworkflow.html
The other thing to check is whether your graphics are at the actual size you need them or if you have scaled down a big picture, for example. The PDF will still contain information for the full-size image.
Re-sizing them in something like Photoshop to the size you need first before placing them in the presentation may help.
Finally, if you have Acrobat (Pro, not just the reader) you can use the Reduce File Size option in the FIle menu to compress the PDF you get from Keynote.

Keynote and PDF Export

Exporting Keynote presentation in PDF via email is a great feature that has been awaited by potential business users.
However, PDF exports from ipad do not seems to be supported by acrobat especially on PCs/windows system. Font conversion seems corrupted and text appears with bullets.
Any hint on how to send keynote presentation converted in pdf properly ?
Many thx

I also ran into a bug with PDF export today. The PDF displayed properly on my mac, but when viewed on other laptops (and when uploaded to Scribd), the text was missing. :/
Workaround was to export the keynote file to my mac, then use the desktop keynote app to re-export as PDF.

PDF export problem in Pages/Keynote/Preview

I am having some problems with PDF exports (and "Print as PDF") from Pages (as well as Keynote and Preview). Here is my situation:
I am creating a PDF of a barchart+legend from the program Mathematica. I suspect the way the exported PDF is formatted is that the chart and legend are two blocks within the PDF. This PDF opens perfectly in Preview and Adobe Reader, and imports perfectly into Pages and Keynote. However, when the Pages/Keynote document is exported to PDF or printed to PDF, the resulting file opens fine in Preview but not in either the Mac or Windows version of Adobe Reader (part or all of the image fails to appear with a generic "An error exists on this page, please contact the author of this document to correct this problem" error message). This also happens with the PDF is exported/printed as PDF from Preview itself - the resulting file opens fine in Preview but not with Acrobat.
Any suggestions? While I could reconstruct the barcharts individually in Pages itself, for the sorts of documents I'm working on I could easily have dozens of PDFs to import for a single project, and it's much easier to export the files from Mathematica as the analysis is done than rebuild each one from scratch.

As far as I know, there is no provision for such settings in these programs.
Developer documentation for ICC colour management in Firefox 2, Firefox 3 and Firefox 3.5, see below. Firefox 3 has ICC colour management disabled by default. Firefox 3.5 has ICC colour management for images within which there is embedded an ICC source colour space profile. It is possible to set Firefox to colour manage the application windows as well as images with embedded ICC profiles. The developer documentation discusses how to do this in what sounds suspiciously like a command line / terminal tool, and also how to point Firefox 3.5 to the display profile. This in turn sounds suspiciously like Firefox 3.5 is unable to talk to the system level service and ask for the display profile automatically.
Camino and Opera ... I'll pass. I suspect it's more of the same mess.

Adobe Reader 9 incompatible with keynote pdf export files

Dear all
I've been creating lectures using keynote for quite a while and it has been working fine. I'm relying on using pdf export for my students to print out my lecture notes.
However, since Adobe Reader 9.0, my exported pdf files do not appear right on Adobe -- they look perfect using a pdf viewer but not with Adobe Reader (they seem fine with Adobe 7 !!)
It's a pretty bad situation, IT services are of no help and don't know why this happens (and are unable to provide another pdf viewer for University computers). I might have to start using a different programme which I really don't want to do.
Does anyone have the same problem?
I can export as ppt (loosing some of the nice layout) and quicktime but that's not really a proper alternative.
Btw it was tried out on a number of different University computers (and sometimes, the disappeared text, appears when highlighting the document)
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

I just DL'd the newest iWork, with KN 5.0.5, and have Reader 9.4.1. I exported a few of my KN presentations to pdf, and the result was fine with both Preview and Adobe Reader (but then, I had no problem before the update, either). So whatever the problem is, it's not universal.
But I might still suggest a possible solution for those who are experiencing the problem (which I can't test conclusively, since I don't have it): Once the KN has been exported to pdf, open the pdf file with GraphicConverter, and then save it as pdf (to make sure I was saving a whole new file, and wanting to test it against the original version, I changed its name a bit). For me, again, both Preview and Reader open the new pdf file fine. But my theory is that saving with GC might possibly alter the file sufficiently to make it good for Reader, when it wasn't before.

Keynote 6.0.1 pdf export issues

When I "export to PDF", it seems that any style change (font family, weight, style etc) within a paragraph in a text box causes all the text after the style change to disappear in the pdf export.
Example:
[begin text box]
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.
Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
[end text box]
In the export, it would say:
[begin text box]
Lorem ipsum
Sed do eiusmod tempor
[end text box]
Any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?

I have the exactly the same issue on a brand new MacBook Pro running 10.9.1 (2.6 GHz / i5) and Keynote 6.0.1 (1486). It's beyond irritating.
Have you found a work around?

Has anyone ever exported a Keynote to a PDF and noticed that some characters were missing?

I've recently exported a Keynote to a PDF to make it readable for Windows. The problem was that I noticed some characters were missing (the word AÇÕES was written AÇ ES). My main problem, actually, was with the "ã" and "õ", mainly while using the fonte ANTENNA (the whole family).
I've then noticed that, in one single slide, I've used, by mistake, the font GILL SANS on a title. I then substituted the font for ANTENNA. Guess what... Problem solved!
Has it ever happened to anyone? Is there any logical explanation for that?!

I have the same problem.
Using Keynote 6.1
OSX 10.9.2
To reproduce the problem:
Make a blank presentation.
Make a table (love the new table inteface btw ).
In a table cell, write E = mc2, where 2 is a super script.
Export to PDF. The superscript is gone. Same for subscripts.
Seems as all text after the subscript or superscirpt in a cell is missing.
Twice now, I have had to convert my presentation to PowerPoint as table headers have been mangled due to this isuee...

Keynote pdf export

Hi I am creating a graphic intensive presentation in Keynote, and wish to export this to i-web for an upload. How do I reduce the size of the export as a PDF. I have tried to drag the PDF export into photoshop but it splits all the frames out and i cannot reduce the doc as a whole. I have built in some hyperlinks and wish to keep them

Can I use applescript to export a PDF file from keynote?

I use keynote to create documentation. Once complete I export the keynote to a PDF and then package the pdf into an adobe acrobat reader portfolio. I desperately need to script this process. Is it possible to export a PDF from keynote via applescript? The second 1/2 is can I tell acrobat reader to import files into a portfolio. Thanks much for any help.

I believe this is one of the few things Applescript can accomplish with Keynote '09. You can send keyboard short-cuts to Menu Commands in an Applescript – so you can just send a Cmd-P to KN'09. As for setting the Print/PDF options not sure but the dialogue remembers previous settings so you'd only have to set once at most per batch of slideshows. Post on Applescript thread to get specific scripting advice or Applescript developers email list.

Hyperlinks not working in PDf created from Keynote '08

When I produce a pdf from File > Print in Keynote '08, the hyperlinks do not work in the pdf. I have tried all the various pdf settings (even the ones that export hyperlinks) and no luck, the links are not working in the pdf. If I invoke the File > Export > PDf command in Keynote, the hyperlinks do work, but Export does not provide as much flexibility in PDF creation that File > Print does, thus my need to go to File > Print.
Any suggestion?

Are you sure that you really entered a link when you created an Hyperlink?
The described one is the one which is used by default by every iWork's components.
We must enter the true one by ourselves.

Hello ! How to embed or include a .pdf inside a keynote presentation?

Hello Everyone !,
My favorite effects on Keynote 09 do not export correctly in ppt because many effects are not supported by ppt.
So, my questions are :
1/I want to embbed a pdf inside a keynote presentaion. It seems it does not work,
and if I transform my keynote presentaion into a movie (.mov), how could I include a manual click on the embeeded pdf.?
2/ Although the resolution of my document letters in keynote presentaion look excellent, when converted into .mov, colors/definition becomes quite ugly. Hoe to solve this problem?
Thanks a million guys for any tips and tricks !!

The way I do it is:
Open the PDF in Preview. Click, "File > Save As..." and choose "PNG" as the format. Use the PNG image instead of .PDF for increased versatility.
Have a look at my tutorials on YouTube, I think anyone who works with the iWork package would benefit from them. Click here to have a look...

InDesign PDF Export Color Issues

So I've encountered a frustrating problem that I know others have experienced. It involves the PDF export from InDesign where the PDF color is not matching the document view. It's a critical issue regarding soft proofs for designs where color needs to match the desired result. I never had any issues before but now it's kicked in after upgrading to Mountain Lion and CS6.
Let me preface a few things first...
Yes, I've callibrated my monitor
Yes, Creative Suite color settings are in sync.
Yes, I've tried the changing transparency blend space... makes no difference.
In my case I have an RGB TIFF placed which has dark midnight blue to light blue tones. When I do an export and it doesn't matter what PDF settings I use the color shifts making it more purplish bllue and the lighter blue tones go away.
BUT, when I export a JPEG, the JPEG looks PERFECT, just like it should and matches the document view.
So I figured the problem must've been solved with the new Acrobat XI... I download the trial and installed it. I created a new PDF and it comes up looking like it should. GREAT, except for the price to update to Acrobat Pro XI!
THEN, some message comes up about trusted certificates?! I click ok... and the color on the PDF goes wrong again! What is the problem with this CRAP? HOW DO I FIX THIS GARBAGE? Is it fixable on the old version (Acrobat X)?
I've worked in Adobe products for years but they are going backwards and becoming more problematic by the day. Not to mention it's ridiculous to have to pay $200 to get a new version of Acrobat Pro after recently buying CS6. This is an insult to long time professional customers, you should be providing this update FREE to makeup for your broken, out of sync with Apple CRAP.

Well any local application change to the color settings is going to show up out of sync
All syncing does is match the application's Working CMYK and RGB settings, but the only case where a Working profile color manages a document is when the doc has no profile assignment. So if I sync to North American General my Working CMYK space is US SWOP, but if I open a document with US Sheetfed assigned, US Sheetfed manages the preview not US SWOP.
I'm not saying you aren't experiencing a bug, but you have to be sure of what profile assignments or simulation profiles are driving the preview and syncing doesn't do that. How you export (are you including profiles?, making a conversion?), and what device you are simulating in both programs can make syncing meaningless for existing document's previews.
I can't test X but with XI if you export a PDF/X-4 (where there's no conversion and all profiles are included), the preview with Output Preview closed shows RGB objects unchanged—same as ID with Overprint/Sep Preview Off.
When I open Output Preview the initial Simulation profile is the PDF/X-4 output intent which is the ID doc's assigned profile, in that case RGB objects preview in the output intent's CMYK space—same as ID with Overprint on.

MOV exported from Keynote - last slide disappears, audio continues playing

I have a series of three mov files that were created in & exported from Keynote. They are audio & slide shows that are to autoplay on a website. Two of the files function as expected once embedded in the website, one does not; the last slide drops out (displaying a white screen) while the audio continues for approximately 30 seconds until the mov file ends. To add confusion to the issue ALL the files play as expected using Safari (on Win & Mac). Using Firefox on Mac delivers the "broken" results. Using ANY browser on Windows yields the broken result.
Any suggestions from anyone as to what could be causing this? A link to the website I'm talking about is below. The problem file is on index2.html

Hi,
Since I am trying to do a number of things with Keynote, I read these discussions looking for opportunities and pitfalls.
I read your message, and saw your outcome as an issue. Since I've yet to add the soundtrack to my current project, I needed to know more about the outcome before I proceeded, in order to adjust accordingly.
I took my project, and added a song as the soundtrack. I played the slideshow, and the soundtrack played along, across the slides as it should. I then began to record the slideshow, but the soundtrack came playing through the speakers and was being picked up by the microphones, so I offed the speakers, donned my headphones, and re-began the recording. The soundtrack was playing (in the headphones), and I was narrating across many slides.
I played the recorded slideshow, and all was present - soundtrack and recorded narration.
I exported to Quicktime, sending the output to a new folder so that it could easily be found, along with anything else that might be generated. Upon completion, there was only one movie file in the folder. I opened and played it in Quicktime. It was perfect - slides looked good, narration was there, and the soundtrack was playing in the background.
This outcome appears to be your objective, so I'm not sure what I did differently than you, but from this experience, it works as should be expected.
Good luck.

How to hide linked slides in PDF docs in Keynote?

Well... I want to make a CV (Curriculum Vitae) that should be for the German rules with max two pages. And I would like to make a keynote with two pages and 20 hided linked pages and sent it in PDF. Because... if the person that is reading the document wants more information of any job i did, he could press the button ...More, that would bring more information about it. It will be great for the person that receives this kind of CV because he would see (receive) just two pages, as he expect, but actually the document has another 20 pages or more linked on it, and these pages would be hided to don't confuse the examinator giving more details just if necessary (Avoiding visual polution) So... Can I do it? with Keynote? A PDF doc with one or two pages and 20 or more hided linked sllides? Thank you guys.

To create an interactive PDF from a Keynote presentation:
Presentation pane of the Setup inspector > Presentation Type pop-up menu > Hyperlinks only
draw an object using the shapes tool to create a hyperlink button
select the object > right click > Add Link
Link to Slide > Click Go To Slide > select the required slide number
create as many buttons as required to link to the other slides
File > Export > PDF
