Keynote to PDF

The .key file from the Mac, as a PDF that opens on any laptop before the meeting.

How to convert Keynote to PDF

  1. Drop the .key file.
  2. Nothing to choose.
  3. Press Convert and download the PDF.

What happens to your file

LibreOffice Impress reads the Keynote package through libetonyek — the slides, their master layouts, text boxes and pictures — and writes one PDF page per slide.

Builds, transitions, presenter notes and video are not in a PDF; a slide with a movie shows its poster frame.

Questions

Are fonts kept?

Where the server has the face or a metric twin, yes; Apple’s own faces are replaced by the closest one here. Export from Keynote for an exact copy.

Do it once, not on every form

Fixing a file here means downloading it and going back to the form. The Fylane extension does this work inside the form instead, on the file you already have.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.

Filmed from the extension: three upload fields on a job application, filled from one tap.

Add to Chrome — freeWhat it does

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "convert",
    "options": {
      "to": "pdf"
    }
  }'

The same operation, convert — Documents into another document format: Office, text and HTML to PDF by default, or by `to` into docx, odt, rtf, txt, html, xlsx, ods, csv, pptx, odp, md or epub (Markdown and EPUB through pandoc). Images to WebP. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
