Scale content when changing slide size

If I resize my keynote slide size to a different aspect ratio, is there a way to have it scale all the content?
I have hundreds of Illustrator files that I have imported into keynote (by drag/drop and it seems to rasterized the image). Making the slide size taller makes the background show through above and below my images. It would be nice if I didn't have to select and scale each individual image using the inspector. I realize the image will "stretch".
I did read someone's suggestion to batch the files in photoshop and resize them all, then re-import them all, but it would make a new presentation and I would lose all my notes and transitions.
thanks

This is an issue happening on your Mac, it is not a common problem, in fact Keynote has never crashed on my system since installing.
Try the following repair for Keynote,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1  delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
2  restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
3  immediately after the start chime,  press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
         let it fully boot up,  it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4  when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive  then First Aid tab and      click  repair disc permissions
5  when complete, restart the Mac normally
6  install Keynote from the Mac App Store
Please report back to let us know if this helped.

  • How to stop changing stroke weights when changing the size of an object in CS5 on Windows 7?

    I'm not sure what I did to make this happen or how to change it back, but for some reason when I change the size of an object/line it changes the stroke weight as well. (For example, if I drew an ellipse with stroke weight 2 pt, and then increased the size the stroke weight would be 2.856 pt or some such number instead of 2 pt.) Does anyone know how to change this back?
    Thanks!

    Take a look at the Scale Strokes and effects preference either in the general programme preferences or in the flyout menu of the Transform palette.

  • New style created when changing font size

    Whenever I highlight some text and change the font size in
    the property inspector, a new style gets created and the text in
    the code gets surrounded by <span
    class="style1"></span>
    I do not want this behavior. I just want the text to be
    surround by <font> tags. Otherwise I have to make sure this
    unwanted style gets put into the style sheet.
    help?

    It depends very much on precisely what you mean in the above.
    I will assume
    that when you say 'one line' you mean 'one paragraph'. to do
    that, you
    would create a rule like this -
    #content p.special { font-size:16px; }
    and then apply the 'special' class to the paragraph in
    question by selecting
    it with the tag selector, right clicking to get the context
    menu, and using
    "Set class to -> special".
    Or, you could click in the paragraph tag in question and use
    the 'Style'
    selector on the Property inspector to select "special".
    If, instead, you meant one line within a paragraph, then you
    would have to
    select that text, and surround it with a span tag (using
    Ctrl-t). Apply the
    'special' class to the span tag, and adjust your rule like
    this -
    #content span.special { font-size:16px; }

  • Change slide size in 2 slide/page layout?

    Several folks indicated that you can use the "layout" view to produce a handout with 2 slides per page. But there is still quite a bit of white space. How can you increase the slide size on the page to make them bigger? Also, is there a way to add page numbers to the page (I already have slide numbers).

    Rocketscience,
    welcome to the Keynote Discussions.
    Well, I think the border around the two slides I print is just enough to punch and file the paper.
    Oh, wait, I'm using [DIN] A4 format. Well, try this:
    * In the print dialog choose Layout from the "Copies & Pages"
    dropdown box and set "Pages per Sheet" to 2
    (you know that but I repeat it for other readers)
    * Choose Paper Handling from the same dropdown box and mark
    "Scale to fit paper size:". Select A4 from the corresponding
    dropdown box (yes, even if you don't use A4 format). Unmark
    "Scale down only".
    * Print you slides.
    There's no possibility to add page (sheet) numbers in the print dialog. You could prepare a file in Keynote or Pages that only prints a page number and print these numbers in a second run on you handouts. Not very elegant but maybe better than to paginate with a counter

  • HT2925 Change slide size iPad version?

    Is their a way to change the exported slide size in keyNote on the iPad version?

    Are you bringing in anything from a PowerPoint presentation?
    Not sure what's causing it, but one thing you could do to try to highlight the problem is LOCK the file. This way, anytime you try to change it, you'll get a window popping up telling that you can't and that will help you determine at what point the file is being changed.
    Save off an original and compare it after a few days to see what the differences are.

  • Change slide size without resizing objects?

    Is it possible to change the slide size without causing Keynote '09 to resize all the objects on each slide?

    As far as I can tell it's not possible. You have to make a new presentation with the size you want and copy paste everything from the previous presentation into it.

  • Angle tool - Ability to keep active when changing slides

    When browsing slides in Develop mode it would be able to leave the Angle tool active so that one could rotate all slides in one pass. Currently the process defaults to crop mode (How many times do I have to Crtl-z).
    A nice enhancement would be able to draw vertical lines (ie greater than 45 degrees assume vertical)

    Thanks, Larry. I should have remembered the "…Basic Appearance…" thingy. I've tutored enough people in Illustrator—it just never occurred to me. As for the printer, I'll give that a shot. I'll fumble my way around in that; not sure exactly how to go about doing it, but I'm game. Thank you for your help.   — Jim

  • Changing slide size in Cap 5 handouts?

    Hi,
    I have published Cap 5 projects as handouts, both with and without tables. Without the tables, I can only get one slide per page--but if I include tables, the slides shrink dramatically (even if I only select 2 slides per page). I have looked at the AdobeCaptivate.dot template file, but I can only edit the header/footer. My goal is to have handouts with 2-3 legible slides per page with blank lines for notes.
    Has anyone found a fix for this (that doesn't involve manually resizing each slide image)?
    Thank you,
    JAB

    Keynote is not designed for printing, it is a screen based presentation application. Keynote is unable to  translate pixels for display into pixels for printing to correctly size and position.
    If your intended output is print, use the companion application Pages, or one of the hundreds of page layout applications for the Mac.

  • Fonts change size and content when edited in photoshop cs6

    When I try editing the type in the document created in Photoshop CS6, some of the fonts I click on change their size, formatting as well as content of what it says.
    It also started happening when I try changing canvas size. All of the fonts that got corrupted somehow, changing their formatting and content as I'm changing the canvas size.
    The document has been created from scratch..
    thanks for your help ahead of time!

  • Slide size change when clicking on pdf links (Acrobat 9 pro)

    Hello,
    I have a problem with an interface mock up I have to deliver to a client.
    The size of image is changing from a slide to another.
    For example, when I click on a home button (this button is a link made in acrobat pro, that send to another page of the pdf document), the slide size changes from full screen to a smaller size with a black border around.
    SOrry it's hard to explain, so I put 2 screenshots and hope it will be clear enough >
    This happen only if I use clicks on the links.
    If I just use the next / previous command (for example if I use keyboard's arrows), the size remain full screen and unchanged for the whole slides.
    Can you tell me how to fix this problem?
    Best regards,
    Mega

    Something to try.
    Using the link tool select the link.
    View the link's properties.
    Select the Actions tab.
    Select the show action then click the Edit button.
    Observe what is displayed.
    You'll note that you can configure the value for "zoom".
    Be well...

  • How to stop symbol-content from changing size when symbol size changes?

    When I change the size of a symbol, the content is also resized. I want my symbol to act as a viewport: when I make the symbol half as high, the content shouldn't be transformed, you only should see half of the content instead of transformed content. Make the symbol's boundaries act as a cropper, if you get what I mean. How do I do this?

    Hi Jack,
    I think (not sure though) that the Library Item is causing the problem. I never use the Library Item because server side includes are far more efficient and need less maintenance.
    Have a look here http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/sprymenu/ssi.php
    If you have PHP serverside scripting language, use DW to add serverside includes using PHP.
    Getting back to your original problem, try without the Library Item and see if DW still changes the code.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I make my content follow my master when master page size is changed?

    I have a header with a menu structure etc. that is set as a master page. When I create a new page and apply the master to this page, everything looks fine. I will then start designing the rest of the page. However, if my master page should change size, the content of the page it is applied to will not move accordingly. What am I doing wrong?
    I'll try explaining it with an example:
    Say my header on my master page is originally 250px in height, and I design all the pages using this master, but then decide that my header needs to increase to 300 px in height. Then my master header will just be laid OVER the content of the page. Isn't there a way to make the content under the header move automatically when the master size is changed?
    Also, it really should be possible to add more than one master to a page.

    The correct master is applied, but I can't get it to work. Am I doing something wrong with the guides?
    I have included screenshots that show how the master looks, how the page with the master looks, and what happens when I change the size of the master page.
    Master:
    Page with applied master
    Content doesn't move when master page changes size
    Please let me know what I'm doing wrong!

  • Minimum slide size change

    I would like to make a banner or rail slide (720x90) but cant seem to make any slide less than 200pixels (H or W). I would like to export as fla after.
    How can I make a slide smaller than the custom size will allow? (under 200 pixels either way).
    Is there a way in the code somewhere to set the min sizing different than the 200?
    thanks...

    If you need to present in different size ratios (e.g., the 4:3 of 1024x768 vs. widescreen HD of 1920x1080) it is wisest to create two separate presentations. Since the slides are of different proportions, there is no way to automatically scale the slides and preserve the proportions.
    Do note that Keynote does have preferences that allow you to have a presentation fill the screen (as much as possible) -- in Preference, under Slideshow, check "Scale slides up to fit display". This option will not stretch your slides, and so again if you are using an HD-proportioned monitor with a 4:3 presentation, it will leave black space to the left and right of the presentation.

  • Slide size change destorys presentaiton...

    I am working on a presentation, and thought it would be wise to change the slide size to fit the larger monitor I would be using (changed from 1024x768 to 1920x1080). Everything scaled fine.
    To my horror, when I changed the slide size back to 1024x768, nothing scaled properly...the pictures were now to small, lines across the page were now an inch short on both sides, etc. Essentially, it destroyed a lot of work.
    1) is there a way to use keynote in a slide size that fills the screen you are using (ie no letterbox) without destroying your presentation when you change the slide size back?
    2) Any way to recover from my current situation?
    thanks
