export pdf borderless keynote 6.0

I use keynote to create graphics for latex. In keynote '09 I could simply export them as PDF borderless.

Keynote 6.0 seems to always put this annoying black border around the exported PDF. Is there a way to export without this border?

(The hint to use the print functionality is worthless to me here as it does not export the slide in its dimensions but on a printable sheet which requires manual trimming later which I want to prevent.)

If I do that I get a letter sized / A4 PDF sheet with my figure in the middle. How do you manage to export in the exact slide size in the print menu?

I still have to use what I described above which is exporting the PDF over the print menu but then cutting the whitespace with PDFcrop.

So if you really found a way around that please give me more details. Thank you!

I have to switch one setting, 'Page Attributes'... once I do that, I get a whole bunch of different slide/page size options by clicking 'Paper Size' (see attached screen shot).

However, I will say that I only need to export 8.5 x 11 vertical slides for my project.
