Keynote Presentation in portrait mode for wireframing iPhone apps

I heard that keynote was a great way to design higih quality wireframes for iPhone apps because of it's click through functionality. Which is true, it looks great on screen but when I tried it out on the iPhone i was REALLY disappointed that i couldn't get it to vertical mode. The presentation is created in a vertical orientation to match iPhone specs.


The only work around I've found is copy pasting into a second, horizontal presenation and rotating everything. This is time consuming and I don't think my boss will approve of the time spent on this.


Anyone have any better suggestions? I need to be able to show iPhone designs to potential users and be free from my laptop.

Eallam,


your script is wonderful. I've used it till yesterday.so a big Thanks!. Unfortunately I suspect the latest upgrade to Yosemite DP has broken something in the interpeter, it doesn't work anymore and I got weird errors in the Console Log:

Any idea by chance?

Here is the workaround that worked for me

- Go to keynote and export all your slides as image files (jpeg is fine)

- get a free account at invisionapp.com

- upload your image files to invision

- the app lets you share your image files with any mobile device


The biggest downside is you need to create your slide links in invision (as opposed to keynote), so there was some rework there. But I was able to get great clickable prototype this way.
