PDF's Exported from Keynote Printing Very Slowly

My team and I created a text presentation in PPT, imported it to Keypoint, and made a really nice presentation.
We have a simple BG slide, 4 graphs, a few shapes, and mostly text on 39 pages. We've exported it to a PDF that is 1.1 MB, and distributed it to clients.
We've received reports from everyone that it takes 20 minutes to print. There are long delays between each page on seemingly all printers.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks,
JJ

Illustrator patterns create very complex vectors. Unlike images, they cannot be compressed.
However, there you can sometimes remove some size in the PDF using Acrobat Pro's Optimizer feature. Sometimes Illustrator data that is not needed in the PDF can be removed. In Acrobat XI, that is File > Save As Other > Optimized PDF. You can use the Audit Usage to view where the PDF size comes from (which requires some experience to utilize). In the Discard User Data on the left, check Discard hidden data of other applications, and resave the PDF file.

Wish to post KeyNote file as pdf. Export from KN to iW not working

Wish to post KeyNote file as pdf. Export from KN to iW not working - get blank screen. Tried to upload PDF to mobile me and link to that file - also didn't work. I'm not familiar with iFrames but have read about them in this forum - is that my only option? Why wouldn't a KN export work?
Thanks, Brian

I have just tried this with a test site and publishing to a folder and it does work perfectly for me.
I had a Keynote document already so all I did was click on File and then selected the Print option. I then selected the save as pdf option the the pdf document was created on my desktop instantly.
All I then did was open iWeb and type some words in a text box My Prices. I then highlighted My Prices and opened the Inspector and went to Hyperlink and clicked on the option Hyperlink to a file. I then selected the pdf file from my desktop.
I then used ftp to a folder on my desktop and when I opened the appropriate page, I click on the words My Prices and the pdf file opened straight away.
As OT has suggested, check that you have linked to the correct file. If it does not work, either you have not created the pdf correctly or at all or you have not linked to the correct file.
As I said, it worked for me.

How to improve quality of pdfs when exporting from pages?

how to improve quality of pdfs when exporting from pages? Any suggestions?

Print to pdf and don't use anything with transparency.
Have you ensured all your images are actually high enough resolution for whatever purpose (which you haven't said) you want?

Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?

Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?
When I export a PDF from InDesign CS6 with specific margins, Acrobat does not recognize the Art box. (I have PitStop Pro 11 for page box view)

Thanks Steve,
We are exporting PDF's as you indicate. I see the same thing. The boxes are all the size of the original InDesign document. The PDF art box should be predicated by the margins in InDesign. When we had CS3, this worked great. Now, it seems that there is a disconnect between the two Adobe products honoring the page box size. I have contacted the Adobe techs via chat, and they had no clue what I was referring to. I find it mystifying that Acrobat can not interpret the art box set in InDesign as margins.

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.

Can't visualise text on PDF files exported from PS

PDF files exported from PS (levels included as we need them to be selectable) have corrupted text. When opening the saved pdf file, a part of text doesn't appear. It is usually starting from the second chapter of text. Any idea of how to solve this problem?

Hi Marco,
For now we have only fixed this in CC, but we are aware this problem also affects CS6 users and is a significant problem for many people. At this time, I don't know of any workaround in CS6 for this bug other than to break text up into smaller blocks or use another more text-oriented application like InDesign. While I can't comment on future releases, your feedback on this issue is important to us, and I can say, "there's always hope"...
If you'd like to discuss this further, or send us a file that exhibits the problem, please contact me directly. My email address is my last name @ adobe.com.

Can't export from keynote 09 to quicktime

When I try to export from keynote 09 to quicktime 10 I get an error code there is not enough disk space or error 34. I have taken off some graphic intensive files and have 30 GB of space left, but that does not seem to help. Waht can I do?

Until you receive a specific answer from an expert, I would suggest finding somewhere to put unnecessary (or less important) larger files.
Macs need 10% free space to work correctly and 15% is much safer. Any less and you could run into all sorts of unpredictable problems. I think you will find that some of the free space is being used to process your exporting request, so that is multiplying the problem.

Error 108 exporting from keynote to quicktime

hi to all, i know this problem is already questioned, but after reading all the posts about it and after have tried all the possible solutions i cannot export my presentation from keynote 5 to quicknote. i still got the same error 108. the first time i've tried everything worked fine with a presentation of 400 slides full of hyperlink and images with the same transistion ( i still had no idea about the bug ). so i need to do one again bigger of 656 slides with hyperlink and images and the transition.so i tried again to export it... then it started troubles. the 108 error was shown to me for the first time. after that i try many times with small groups of slides from my presentation with hyper link and without them, with transitions and without them... and the result was that sometimes i cannot export one slide neither!!!!!!!!!!!!! one slide white, without anything...
please do you have any idea about it? the other way to see my presentation on a pc means a lot of stupid work campared to a apparently simply export from keynote to quick time
thank you in advance

Yeah, me too. Bump. Can anybody explain this behavior?!?

PDF's exported from ID takes extremely long to print

Hi,
I'm not sure whether or not this is the right forum to post it in - if not, please direct me to the correct one :-)
I work in the textile business, and our designers create some complex designs (lots of patterns ie.) in Illustrator, which they then "collect" in InDesign to create a sort of overview. These overviews tend to get quite large and heavy, because of all the links.
When we need to print them, we usually export the document to PDF in order to make the printing easier. But for some reason, when we try to print a 30 MB pdf it'll take half an hour and I can see the document size getting bigger and bigger in the print-spooler (sometimes 1,5 GB or more), which can bring our printer to it's knees.
As you can imagine, I'm getting hammered by frustrated designers, that can't understand why it takes such a long time to print the documents.
So, I'm guessing the question is two-fold:
1. Why do the documents get so large?
2. Is there a way to avoid it?
Also, if you have any good links that can shed some light on the best way to use Illustrator and InDesign together (to avoid issues like above), I would be thrilled to have them!
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Can't Print PDF files exported from Pages

I spent all weekend creating a 25 page document - exported it to PDF and it won't print at all. Sent it to 50 customers before I discovered the problem
I used the same fonts and template last year in a document in Version 1 of Pages and had no problems.
I can print directly from Pages and also no problems printing if I export to Word but not PDF which is of course the format I require!
I checked the security setting in Acrobat and none are set so it sould be fine!
Help!?!

Can you open and print the the file in Preview? I found Acrobat Reader a little flakey with X and deleted it from my system. I use Preview for everything.
Instead of the export feature have you tried printing to pdf? See if it makes any difference.

Exporting from Keynote to Power Point

I live in Kenya in East Africa and run photographic safaris. I use Canon digital equipment (still photography) and at the end of each safari set up a slide show of the better images taken on the safari and give it to the guests. I present my images using power point as this seems to be the most universal way to present slides.
I own a 17 inch Power Book G4 and also a 17 inch Mac Book Pro. I use Aperture on both Macs.
On my new Mac Book Pro I have problems. After editing in Aperture, I then export my versions ( in any format - Tiff, Jpeg ) to a file and then import them from that file to power point. Power point seems to remove all the punch of the images making them look very flat and hardly worth looking at. Why?
I have managed to by pass this problem on my Power book G4 by exporting images from Aperture as Tiffs, these seem to work quite well when they are imported into Power point, except the files are huge.
What this means is that I own a Mac Book Pro but don't use it as it can't do what is required. I hope I am doing something wrong or that there is an alternative method to presenting slides.
I have Keynote, which works well. Sadly most of our guests are PC users and so would like the slides in a PC format. Keynote allows you to convert to power point, but here again the picture once in power point looks flat, Why?
Is there a better method than Power point to present slides? In a presentation I like to have text, single and multiple images per slide.
I have used iDVD, but there are not enough pixels on a TV screen (when showing still images) to give you a punchy clear picture, or so I am told.
I would love any suggestions to help with this problem.

Hi Ngiri
It's not really clear to me how you or your guests are assessing your "flat" photos - on a computer screen, via a video projector, on a TV?
Most of my photo slide shows are created using DVDStudioPro - look fantastic. Distributed as a PAL DVD "best viewed on a TV".
Lately I have tried some photo presentations using Keynote, and then exported to Powerpoint. Photos looked fine, but PP is unacceptable. I then tried exporting from PP straight to PDF. Using a PDF for a presentation was a revelation - photos look very good. The PDF is a small cross platform file.However, I still prefer DVDStudioPro, but it takes much longer to create a DVD.
Have you actually tried Keynote straight to iDVD? Or a slideshow created within iDVD? (Lots of tutorials available).
I have used iDVD, but there are not enough pixels on
a TV screen (when showing still images) to give you a

???I don't understand why anyone would tell you this???
Of course, Aperture could be the problem...or your Mac Book Pro is incorrectly setup.

Exporting from Keynote 08 using applescript or automator

Hi
Does anyone have a method for triggering an export from applescript of an open keynote presentation, I have an action that takes a sequence of images (exported slides) sorts and loads into an new presentation and I would like to then export as .ppt
This allows the sad ppt user to see the slides perfectly formed (and stops them editing and stealing my ideas). However the last step of the export I have to do manually as I cant see any actions in automator or anything in the applescript dictionary.
Any ideas
thanks
Jon

I have exactly the same question. I have been experimenting with AS. I found some code that almost works, but it won't select the PDF button. The sheet with the buttons is obviously not a radio button group, and I can't work out what it is.
tell application "Finder"
set draggeditems to (choose file)
repeat with thisFile in draggeditems as list
tell application "Finder" to reveal item thisFile
set thisFile to thisFile as alias
tell application "Keynote" to open thisFile
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Keynote"
set frontmost to true
if menu item "Hide Inspector" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 exists then
keystroke "i" using {command down, option down}
end if
click menu item "Export…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
repeat until sheet 1 of window 1 exists
end repeat
tell sheet 1 of window 1
click button "PDF" of radio group 1
click checkbox "Include slide numbers"
click checkbox "Include date"
click checkbox "Print each stage of builds"
click button "Next…"
end tell
repeat until button "Export" of sheet 1 of window 1 exists
end repeat
tell sheet 1 of window 1
click button "Export"
end tell
delay 3
keystroke "w" using command down
end tell
end tell
end repeat
end tell

Write filename somewhere in a PDF when exporting from InDesign?

Is there a way, when exporting a PDF from InDesign, to somewhere/somehow auto-embed the filename into the resulting PDF? Doesn't need to be "visible" in the job, but needs to be accessible somehow. I'm working with a very difficult client who changes PDF names and then, months later, sends the PDF back with revisions and I have no idea which file the original PDF was created from. I know I can manually enter this information, but I'm looking for a more automated way to do this?
Regards,
Kristin.

Put this script into a folder "Startup Scripts" inside your scripts folder. It auto-updates the document metadata every time you save a document. This automatically is saved in an exported PDF.
//InxAfterSafe.jsx
//An InDesign CS3 JavaScript
#targetengine "session"
//Creates a simple event listener.
main();
function main()
var myEventListener1 = app.addEventListener("afterSave", setMetadata, false);
var myEventListener2 = app.addEventListener("afterSaveAs", setMetadata, false);
function setMetadata()
var myFileName = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.indd$/i, "");
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.documentTitle = myFileName;
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.copyrightNotice = myFileName;
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.jobName = myFileName;

Exporting from keynote to FCE

Exporting apresentation from Keynote with H.264 compression...very good quality...finetuning in FCP and the exproted files look like crapp...tried many eports always the same...artefacts all over the place...Help please...thx

oops, just realize:
in topic you ask for fcE, in the post you write of fcP.. that makes a difference...
for fcE, 1024x768 is no supported resolution..- gets converted/zoomed => loss of pic quality..
for fcE, usually AIC is the internal codec for HiDef ..
for fcP all the above isn't true.... no idea, about fcP..
