Re: [applekeynote] How to put pages from a pdf into slides?

If you have a large enough monitor, the fastest way is to take a screen shot of each page, copied to the clipboard using Grab, and just paste it.

It won't be excellent quality for printing, but since you only want to display it on screen to show the overall structure, that won't make any difference. It will look just the same as it did in the PDF.

You just need to be able to see the whole page at a time. If you have Acrobat but only a small monitor, you could rotate the pages and then rotate them back once they're in Keynote.

That's a good one.

Funny, when you have the correct tools you do not stop to think about using the crescent wrench as a hammer.

And there's times where that's a fine tool for the job!!

Why not tell the Mac to print your doc as a pdf, one page at a time, having opened it in Preview?

About the only way I know how to do this involves you owning the Acrobat program, not Reader. With Acrobat you can split a document into individual pages, then you are done. 

If you do not have access to the Acrobat program, you can send it to me and I can do it. Please send it early today (Saturday) as I leave for a business trip tomorrow early. Send it to <gary@thecoynes.com>.

I have a four-page .pdf that I want to import into four slides (one page per slide)

(Yes I know that is too much text, but I need to show the exact way it looks on paper but not 
make a zillion copies of the whole thing for all of the audience)

When in Keynote, I go to Insert>Choose and select the document. That give me the first page 
of the .pdf document on the current slide. However, i need to have pages 2, 3, and 4 also.

How to do it?

Thanks!
