Simply open the PowerPoint file in Keynote by double-clicking on it. The result will be a PowerPoint file (they chose to save as a PowerPoint file format because it’s more common than Keynote as of right now). The theory behind this method… you point the app to a PDF document and click “ Convert”.
#ADDING PDF TO KEYNOTE DOWNLOAD#
I looked at a few, but found one that works well and is free! it’s called “ PDF Converter Free" ( download here). For this method, you will want to download an app that will convert your PDF to a slide deck format. While still not a completely automated method, this method is much less hands-on and time-intensive as the previous method.
#ADDING PDF TO KEYNOTE MANUAL#
However, if you have longer PDF documents or you find yourself going through this routine on a frequent basis, you may want to consider a less manual way of accomplishing this. This solution works well, and is great for short PDF documents once in a while. Once we can see the thumbnail image for each page, we simply drag each page individually from this view into your Keynote slide deck. To do this, We need to click on the format button in the top left corner, then choose “ Thumbnail”. In order for this method to work, we need to view the thumbnails of each page. By default, you wont’ see the thumbnails of each page in your PDF just by opening the document in Preview (the built-in, default app for opening PDF documents). This process involves dragging and dropping each page of the multi-page PDF into Keynote. There are lots of ways to accomplish this, but I will cover two ways: manual and less-manual. But don’t worry… there’s still a way to do this, and it’s still free! With the latest versions of Keynote, however, this is no longer an option (at least not for now).
In older versions of Keynote, you could simply drag and drop a PDF into your slide deck, and Keynote would automatically parse out the pages so that each page was its own slide. Once the file has been uploaded, you can edit. This makes it easy to see where the element sits on the slide and allows you to replace it quickly.Today’s post answers a recent reader’s question: “ I have a multi-page PDF file that I want to insert into a Keynote slide deck so that each page of the PDF is its own slide. You can now click Open File to import the PDF files which you wish to convert. Whenever we encounter an unsupported element, a yellow placeholder box is shown. We’re always working hard to improve Pitch and to add more features. It is helpful to understand our smart formatting features to quickly align blocks in Pitch. If your team uses a font that is not already in Pitch, you can upload the font to your Pitch workspace so that you can apply it to your imported presentation.īecause Pitch doesn't yet have the same alignment features that PowerPoint does, you may notice that some blocks aren't perfectly aligned once imported. Tips for fine-tuning your imported presentation Upload custom fonts Unsupported elements might look a bit different or be absent, depending on whether or not import functionality for a specific type of block already exists in Pitch. Supported elements of your original presentation should import into Pitch seamlessly. This feature is still in beta, which means it works best with simple presentations, and there are some elements that might not import the way you’d expect.
