Printing presenter notes only

You can also use a short AppleScript to print presenter notes.

This one puts the results in TextEdit for you to save and/or print.

set outTxt to ""
tell front document of application "Keynote"
	repeat with aSlide in slides
		tell aSlide
			set slideNum to "Slide " & slide number
			set presNotes to presenter notes as text
			set outTxt to outTxt & slideNum & return & presNotes & return & return
		end tell
	end repeat
	tell application "TextEdit"
		make new document at front
		set text of front document to outTxt
	end tell
end tell

1. Copy-paste script into Script Editor (in Applications > Utilities)
2. With your Keynote presentation open click the 'Run' button in Script Editor
3. Print or save from TextEdit as desired.

If "nothing happens" make sure Script Editor is listed and checked at System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility.

If you are likely to print presenter notes fairly frequently then you can put this in the Script Menu for easy access. (Or even put it in an Automator Quick Action and attach it to a keyboard shortcut.)

There isn't a built-in tool to only print presenter notes, the workaround I use is:

• In Keynote go to File > Export to PDF
• Ensure the option: Include presenter notes is selected
• Install PDF to Text from the Mac App Store, its free
• Import the PDF into PDF to Text and print
