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 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.
