How to view presentation in portrait mode?

Gabriel have you found a solution to this I've been looking for one for months?

I have just stitched together a work around to do this for me.

I was using Keynote to build a file containing some screen shots from a magazine I had a digital version of which I was reading on my iPad and wanted to keep for reference, these were in portrait mode.

As we know iPad keynote only let me build Landscape.

I save keynote files to iCloud and opened same file on my iMac, and using 'Inspector' changed slide size to 768x1204 and realigned screen shots to fit. I saved file again to iCloud and opened it again on my iPad. The new file had the portrait sized slides but still only displayed in Landscape on Keynote, so lots of wasted space and small pages.

I made a copy of this (Edit, Select, +) and used this to make a 'Portrait Template'.

So now I can create Keynote file on iPad with portrait sized slides. To see these in full screen just Open In Another App (Edit, curly arrow icon) and open in either GoodReader or PDF Expert. You can send either PDF or native Keynote, both work.

This is quite, quite ridiculous. One can only assume that the dev team in Cupertino spends their lives in landscape mode and just 'forgot' that some things look better in portrait.

I just bought the iPad version for a very specific version today which requires portrait display. I honestly thought it was operator error when I couldn't get my presentation to display in portratit mode. It took quite a while for it to dawn on me that Apple had actually produced a product which doesn't display in portrait - kind of like a really dumb app developer.

An incredible waste of time and money.

In the end I've displayed a Powerpoint pres as a PDF.

I would like to echo my desire for Keynote on the iPhone to support Portrait, it would turn Keynote into a truly all powerful presentation devices, particularly for demonstrating mobile application designs. As we know mobile is taking over the world. I suspect that given Apple's own design guidelines say ensure your App supports Landscape and Portrait where appropriate, that they are working on it, and it will be in the next release. Lets just hope it is soon, by Friday would be great 🙂.

It's funny, there is a whole world of people who work at Apple who do not understand that they don't buy products, we do!

So here is a thread from 2013, it is now 2015 and I want to do the same thing as everyone here. Specifically for an iPad. Can you rotate Keynote into Portrait Mode, I asked of an Apple "Expert" in the Covent Garden, London store this morning.

He said, leaping into Apple "Expert" mode - what you can do is use Apple Remote to trigger your Keynote presentation on a Mac from your iPhone. Three things wrong there, I don't have an iPhone, I don't want to trigger a landscape Keynote presentation from my Mac and that wasn't the question I asked.

Rewind. Can I rotate a Keynote presentation on an iPad - just like more or less every app on an iPad allows?

No.

So how about this. The clever guys at Apple USA get a fruit smoothie and sit down for 10 minutes and figure out how to rotate a Keynote display. Then sell it to me.

Thanks.

Are there any updates to this? I am trying to create an app mock-up as well and trying to figure which slideshow platform I can actually do it with.
