PDF images distorted in Keynote 6.0

When I Open a presentation created in Keynote V5.3 with Keynote 6.0, some PDF images look fine in th editor but become aliased and pixellated when displayed in presentation mode. If I copy the image from Keynote, save it to the desktop and then open it in Preview I see the same distortion. Is there
a workaround for this.
Joseph Ayers

Thank you so much. I didn't know that shortcut and it fixed it right away. I was surprised that when I went back to the section that all of those slide were only a small portion of the page. It's almost like the white part of the slide got bigger so the actual slide information shrunk. Obviously I hit something in my frustration that changed the slide size, but luckily it will be easy to replace. Great response to my question and much appreciated!

  • Problem with manipulating PDF images in Keynote

    Hi,
    I am using LaTeXiT to insert equations (in PDF format) into Keynote. Note this is the only vector format that really works. Creating equations and dragging them onto a slide works fine, but then it is difficult to select and manipulate them on the slide.
    I have inserted other PDF images and run into the same problems, so it seems that this is a bug with Keynote. I have tried to reinstall Keynote but to no avail.
    Does anyone know how to solve this?
    Thanks!

    it is difficult to select and manipulate them on the slide.
    What exactly is the difficulty are you haveing?
    The only adjustments you can make to a PDF file placed in Keynote is to position and size the image.
    If you click on the image to select it, 8 bounding box handles will show, ( small black squares ) you can then click and drag them to resize. Click anywhere on the image to place it anywhere on the screen.

  • Transparency problems when I distort Pdf image size (ie: 100%x99%) then Export. Is there away to fix

    I sometimes have transparency problems when I distort PDF image size (i.e.: 100%x99%) then Export. Is there away to fix.   Or at least be able to preflight and know I have an issue.

    Mostly I have seen borders and drop shadows that will just go away or other wise not print right but only when I distort the image and only on very complicated large PDF images.  When I print it at same % both horz and vert. this problem goes away.

  • Need help diagnosing cause of printing issue w/ image distortion

    Hello, I'm looking for some expert advice for my print issue with image distortion (see above) on my files once setup and proofed by my printer.
    I have a large PSD background file out of photoshop (CMYK, 170mb psd) that is being placed into an InDesign document. No preflight errors, all correct SWOP cmyk settings, and I keep having issues where images distort on my printers proofs - they seem unable to explain the issue and can't offer any other suggestions beyond ("just try resaving/uploading again" which of course has an added fee with each upload...).
    The files are all fine on our end: on-screen, on our cmyk proofs, and our saved PDFs/packaged files. But everytime our printer opens these they seem to have these distorted image problems - scrambled images (almost as if there was a ghosted transparent image in the distorted area), strange lines (see above, and color distortion (usually greens and pinks, see above).
    Is this an issue with my settings/file formats? Maybe the issue lies on our printers end? I'll keep checking this throughout the day and provide quick answers to anyone who can help me get to the bottom of this.
    Adobe forums have been a huge help in years past so I decided this was by best bet for a resolution from those who know more than myself (or my printer), thanks for taking the time to help!

  • PDF into Aperture or Keynote

    i am trying to import pdf images into keynote or aperture. these are single page pdf's that i dragged out of a multi-page pdf in Preview. the original pdf was created in AutoCad.
    these are coming up as either washed out or as having black backgrounds (which weren't there) and in both cases they are unusable.
    does anyone have any recommendations for fixing this? i think i have tried saving out of Preview as tif, png. bmp etc, etc.
    is there an Acrobat Pro equivalent for the mac that I can try and do something in by downloading a demo version?
    i think this has to do with rasters versus vectors or with layers or something but i have to get out of the ditch in either case.
    thanks for any help.

    Hi Guys.
    It is supposed to have a white background.
    The problem is that I am sorting images in Aperture to make a slide presentation in Keynote.
    Perhaps I have to bring it directly into Keynote??
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jon

  • PDF Image Extractor questions

    I have 2 questions:
    1) I mentioned in a previous post that I'm working on a PDF image extractor, mine is a commercial solution so I would like it to be as competitive as possible.  I've researched many pdf image extractor tools and I've seen lots of tools that aren't that good (e.g. they extract corrupted images, distorted images, inverted images, not all images are extracted, etc).  I'd like to know from the community which image extractor tool(s) they consider the best?  Then I can compare my tool's results against them to see how I'm really doing.
    2) I have thousands of PDF's to test with for my image extractor tool I'm working on and so far I've encountered images that use DeviceRGB, DeviceCMYK, DeviceGray, CalRGB, Lab, Indexed, and ICCBased....I've been able to handle all of those correctly so far.  I've yet to find however ones that use CalGray, Pattern, DeviceN, or Separation.  Does anyone have examples of PDFs with images that uses these colorspaces?

    I would recommend that you look at some of the standard industry test suites such as the Altona Suite or the Ghent Workgroup Output Suite.

  • Image Distortion When Printing

    Had an ad supplied for a book that was printed digitally. Entire book printed fine except for page with this ad. I got an image drop shadow, but it was way out of position and distorted. Printed claimed it was a bad PDF. All's I did was place a customer-supplied PDF on the page in InDesign, then exported entire book to print-ready PDF. It was fine throughout all proof stages, but when book delivered, I got the strange image distortion. ???
    Thanks.

    Hi peterpica,
    You might try printing this image with a different printer and then check.
    What version of Acrobat are you using?
    There might be some problem of low resolution from the printer.
    So, please check and let me know.

  • How do you link a pdf. document within a Keynote slide?

    How do you link a pdf. document within a Keynote slide?

    Gary, I'm trying to save a Keynote presentation that was created from a Powerpoint presenation using PDF files.
    It imported beautifully, problem is it won't play. Keeps giving me a "Keynote cannot play your slideshow because an error occured" message.
    I thought it was a Powerpoint/Keynote incompatibility thing, so I recreated the presentation - 1 pdf per slide just like you have here (I did this before finding your post) and it still wouldn't play. I even tried JPG - nothing; just horrible looking images.
    Is there something I'm missing?

  • How do I copy an image from one Keynote presentation to another one?

    I have a previously saved presentation on Keynote in iCloud. I created it from my desktop at work. Some of the images I used for the presentation I want to use again in another presentation, onlh this time I am working off my laptop and don't have the same access to those images. Is it possible to copy/paste images from one Keynote presentation into another? I can't even seem to click on the image and save it.
    Any suggestions?

    Clicking and dragging does not work.
    Click on the image and Copy and Paste
    or
    Inspector > Metrics > File Info > click on the icon of the file and drag it to your desktop
    You can then drag that file back in wherever you want.

  • Unable to display a PDF image on the page - Mac 10.6

    Hi,
    Running an iMac with 10.6.8 and Indesign 5.0.4. Just wanting to export a PDF as per usual via File > Export function. However, I keep getting the error message, "Unable to display a PDF image on the page'. No idea what this is and have never seen this error before. The only info on the internet reveals error code 0x2511(9489).
    I've deleted prefs, closed down and re-opened Indesign and even restarted the computer. I've also re-linked the images contained in the document and even created a new document and set it up the same, but still the same problem. Investigating further, other Indesign documents still export properly.
    The only ones that don't export are 2 documents, both giving this same error message. Both documents are ones where a client has sent a PDF, I've imported into two of these into an 2-page A4 Indesign document (each PDF is 48MB each) and then just added a text layer (using Times) which is properly installed on the computer. I basically have to 'update' course dates for the client and add PDF to the website, all very basic.
    I've tried importing a jpeg and other PDFs into the file (replacing the existing ones) and they export fine.
    All my software is legal and I've exported this document before now in exactly the same File > Export without any problems (under 10.5 and 10.6).
    OK... I've just imported the offending PDFs into Acrobat, optimized and shrunk the file size, re-imported back to Indesign and the PDF export works fine. So it seems InDesign / PDF Export doesn't like large imported PDFs? I think they were originally exported from Publisher, so maybe that's the problem or a file conflict somehow.
    Any ideas on the culprit? I've googled it, searched these forums and Apple discussions and haven't found anything. Although I've found a workaround, I do get large files to import and then export. Thanks for any help
    Steve

    It does sound like a problem with the original PDF files the client sent you. You can check how they were made in Acrobat Pro from the Additional MetaData button on the Description tab of the document properties dialog. It will be under Advanced at the bottom of the list when the metadata opens.
    You might be able to salvage them by running the optimzer and not changing the size, or just doing a Save As in Acrobat.

  • How to read ZIP files(having PDFs,Image) using MQ Series link for R/3

    Hi,
    1)Is it possible to transfer a zip file (having an image or pdf) using IDocs in SAP 4.6C using MQ Series link for R/?
    Scenario: "MQ Series link for R/3" converts Business-Reports from a third-party software,into SAP IDocs.Each Business-Report contains one XML file and one ZIP file.
    2)Being on ABAP side,do I have to worry about how the zip file would be converted into IDocs?
    Detailed descrption:
    This scenario requires integration of a non-SAP software which talks in XML with SAP R/3(4.6C).The customer has decided to go with 'MQ Series link for R/3' (which integrates any non-SAP application running on IBM MQ Series to R/3,by converting data(in any format) into IDocs).He is not ready to go for XI.
    The Problem area is a functionality which requires the non-SAP software to send XML file along with an attached Zip file.So,XML document,basically,has a 'zippedFile' XML element having actual file in XML keyword 'file'.
    This XML document ideally, should be converted by the subsystem(MQSeries link for R/3) into IDocs i.e. into a stream which could be stored in a table on R/3 side and later, sent back to the non-SAP software through MQ Series link to be converted into zip-file again with corresponding pdfs,images.I want someone who has worked in a similar scenario to confirm this.

    Hi,
    I have a feeling I have posted this question in the wrong forum or maybe I will let you decide this.Any help would be appreciated (even the right forum name).

  • How can I insert a Pages, Doc, or PDF file into a Keynote presentation?

    I need to insert a document (.pages, .doc, or .pdf anyone) into a Keynote for a portfolio that I must present.  How can I do this?  It doesn't give me that option under hyperlink in inspector. 

    the best is to insert screenshot directly in keynote. If it's for a paper version save everything as pdf and compile with "combine pdf".

  • JPG or PDF image in Portfolio window

    How do you remove the JPG or PDF image from the top right of a Portfolio window?
    I'm using Acrobat X10.1.1 on an iMac with Mac OS X 10.7.2

    I created a PDF Portfolio using the Wave layout. I added a few frames with a name and description.
    I do not want to delete the image, I would like to remove the small jpg or pdf logo that appears on the picture (image) in the top right hand corner. The logo appears in both the Layout Mode and the Edit Mode. When I emailed the portfolio to myself the small logo was still in the picture.
    Thanks….

    Regards

    You need Acrobat Standard or Pro to convert the scanned image to readable text (OCR) and then save it as a Excel file (if Acrobat recognizes that it's a table, which I doubt it will). Maybe there are some 3rd party plugins that can help you further.
