Issue with Keynote 13.7.x AND 14.0
I have a Keynote presentation with a transparent PNG
Which does not render correctly when exporting to PDF:
It exports well when printing into a PDF but that is restrictive due to having to mess with paper size and also doesn't help when wanting to print animations in stages and speaker notes.
The same file exported fine in the past.
MacBook Air, macOS 14.1
Send feedback about this directly to the Keynote product team from the Applications menu. No product teams participate in these public user-supported communities and will not be aware of your post.
Keynote exports PDF v1.4 documents and that version of the PDF spec supports partial transparency. Here is an Adobe article 20 years of transparency in PDF that won't fix the current problem, but has some background on the subject. Just exactly what Apple is doing with their interpretation of transparency is known only by the product team.
will do
thanks for that.
Interesting read. Just to say, this used to work until 1 or 2 months ago, and it is still working in parts, so transparent colour overlay work, transparent PNGs don't. Oh well....
Will raise it as Keynote bug with their product team.
