Apple Keynote '08 - Manual (Page 180)

180 Chapter 9 Viewing, Printing, and Exporting Your Slideshow
When you export a self-playing slideshow as a QuickTime movie, note the following:
 If the slideshow includes a soundtrack, the movie won’t end until the audio finishes.
If your slideshow is a lot shorter than the audio, you might want to use a shorter
audio file.
 If the slideshow contains an Exit Slideshow link, clicking it makes the movie exit full-
screen mode.
Creating a PowerPoint Slideshow
You can convert Keynote documents to PowerPoint files that can be viewed and edited
by PowerPoint users on Windows or Mac OS computers.
To create a PowerPoint slideshow:
1 Choose File > Export and then click PowerPoint.
2 Click Next.
3 Type a name and choose a location for the file, and then click Export.
PowerPoint doesn’t support some Keynote features:
 Some bulleted text items may be lost. If you hide the bulleted text on a slide (by
deselecting Body in the Slide Inspector), it is deleted from the outline when you
export.
 PowerPoint doesn’t support alpha-channel graphics, so if you use a photo cutout
frame, the image behind it will appear in front. You may also notice slight variations
in other graphics.
Creating a PDF File
Your slideshow can be converted to a PDF file, which can be viewed or printed using
Adobe Acrobat Reader or any PDF application.
If your slideshow contains hyperlinks, they are exported as active links in the PDF
document.
Here are ways to create a PDF file:
m To create a PDF file that will be viewed only onscreen (not as a printed hardcopy),
choose File > Export and then click PDF. Select your options (for more information, see
“Printing Your Slides” on page 176), click Next, type a name and choose a location for
the file, and then click Export.
You can print PDF documents created using this method, but you might get better
results using the following method.
m To create a PDF file that will be printed, choose File > Print, choose “Save as PDF” from
the PDF pop-up menu, and click Print. In the Save dialog, type a name, choose a
location for the file, and then click Save.
