Export a Page Range to PDF

Question

In Keynote, how do I export a range of pages to PDF?

Use skip slide on the slides you do not want in PDF: Slide > Skip Slide

Problem:

Print to PDF seems to delete the hyperlinks created in Keynote 😟

Try this Keynote Maintenance routine, it sorts out many problems in Keynote:

1

Uninstall all of iWork if you have this, otherwise uninstall Keynote if other iWork applications are not installed.

This should be done with an application remover to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download

2

empty the trash

3

Reinstall Keynote or iWork using the original method on purchase using the installer file or installed from the App Store

4

shutdown the Mac and restart holding down the shift key until the apple logo appears

let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer to start as it is repairing software on the hard drive

5

go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility > First Aid > Repair Disc Permissions

when this is completed restart the Mac normally

Report back on how you got on.

I thought hyperlinks were deleted on Print to PDF for any Mac application.

Yes you are correct, but in Keynote a PDF file is created using export function and this preserves the hyperlinks.

depending on which version you have:

File > Export (in older versions)

or

Share > Export (in latest version)

There is no such thing as a folder slide, a folder would be expected to contain slides and this feature is not available in Keynote.

What I think you are referring to is indented slides. Slides in navigator view can be arranged in groups by indenting the thumbnail to the right. The first slide in the group has a disclosure triangle which enables hiding or showing the group. Grouping slides is merely a visual way of grouping slides together in the playing order, it has no other function.

Skipping slides is a separate function from grouping slides.

To be sure, within Keynote, you cannot

1) Select slides (in the Navigator) and then export to pdf

Selecting slides in the navigator has no effect when exporting.

If you want to export some of the slides in a presentation, mark the slides as Skip the slides you dont want

in the PDF ( Slide > Skip Slide)

To be sure, within Keynote, you cannot

2) Group slides by indention

Yes you can group a set of slides in the navigator, I explained this in my last email.

To group a set of slides select them and press the tab key.

You can create as many groups as you like

Grouped slides must be in running order: 5,6,7 or 21, 22, 23

In this example there are three groups, with three slides in each group.

If you have 3 different versions of the same keynote that you also need to export to PDF,
