Slides shrink and will not print normal.

Hi, I am new to Keynotes 08, and I was quite familiar with Powerpoint. I was trying to print out 6 slides per page like I used to for powerpoint, and for some reason it keeps printing all 6 slides miniature, and only down the far left side. No matter what setting I mess with, I cannot get them to be their normal size. They are so small they aren't readable. I do not understand what else I can do to get them to print correctly? Any help please!?

I also installed a 2nd printer and tried just to ensure it had nothing to do with the printer.
And I have already gone under file to page setup, and tried to put them to 100%, did nothing, so i put them to 200% and there was no change whatsoever.

I think the "print handout" in Keynote assumes that you want space for people to take notes and so it leaves that empty space to the right.

You can easily get six slides on a page, though, using another printing option. Go to Print as normal, select "Print Individual Slides" (on the right-hand side). Then in the middle drop-down, the one that says "Keynote" by default, select "Layout". You can choose the number of pages you want to print per sheet - set this to six, and you will get six slides per page.

Hello,

This replied to my question as to how to paper print 6 slides on one page.

Nevertheless I still have one point to resolve :

I would like to print my Keynote on PDF. In that case the standard orientation is "Portrait" !

How do I get the keynote printed with 6 slides per page, on PDF, and landscape ?

Go to file -> page setup and choose the orientation you want there.
