PDF to Keynote For Mac

PDF to Keynote is a user friendly utility that enables you to quickly transform PDF documents into files compatible with the Apple Keynote application. During this process, each PDF page becomes a PDF image, which will be centered in a slide.

Noteworthy the the content of the original PDF document will not be editable in the new Keynote project: you can add new data, but you cannot modify the information that came from the PDF file.

After launching the PDF to Keynote application, you must make use of its status bar File menu to import the PDF document you want to use as source: the app’s main window will not be visible until there is a source file.

PDF to Keynote allows you to visualize the PDF document before conversion, and offers you the possibility to choose the output scale, background color, and image size. The app provides support for basic copy paste functionalities, and allows you to rotate pages.

The utility comes with very few customization options: in the Preferences window you can change the default export format, the presentation size, or adjust the after opening, and the after saving behavior. PDF to Keynote comes with multiple presets for cropping and sizing the PDF.   All you have to do next is navigate to the status bar File menu and select the “Save to” entry. PDF to Keynote can export the PDF to Keynote files compatible with various app versions (Keynote ’03, or iWork ’05/’06/’08/’09), or to OmniGraffle documents.

To conclude, if you want to save time when working on new Keynote presentations, simply export the data to PDF, and use the PDF to Keynote app to generate the slideshow. Noteworthy is that you will not be able to further edit the original content within the Keynote app.
