Hey 🙂
I am using Keynote 6.5 to create and demonstrate user interface wireframes.
Up untill recently i was able to export the demonstration interaface as PDF with links to the various pages embedded.
Doing this i could make buttons directed to other pages, mimicing the UI. And with PDFs i could test it on mobile devices.
Is this even possible anymore? If so how?

If you have done this before, its exactly the same procedure:
create buttons using shapes
right click the shape, select Add Link, click the Slide option button then select the slide number in the dropdown menu (don't use next previous first or last)
File > Export to PDF

Yes, that part is good. I can use the links both when exporting to html, and when playing it as a presentation in keynote. Bit in the PDF the links do not work. I checkes my old files, and one i made a year ago has links that works, so its not my pdf reader that broken. Something in the keynote PDF export kills the links.
Try deleting Keynote from Applications and then re-install from Mac App Store.
The problem was that Keynote does not create links when you apply a link to a grouped selection.
If you want to create links, it has to be a simple stand alone shape.
This means that you must make a transparent (not epmty) shape and place over all the buttons you want to link, and then create the link on that shape.
Your solution worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
How do i export a Keynote to PDF and keep links?
