Hi guys,

I know there isn't a way to directly export a keynote to PDF that includes videos. However I was wondering if there would be a way to script this process. Not sure if this would be the best workflow but something along the lines of: script finds all movie files in Keynote and tags there location, size then export to PDF and then insert the movies back in at the right slide/size.

Would this be achievable?

Thanks
Miles

Not sure if that's possible, but a quick google search with the terms "pdf video embed" shows that Adobe Acrobat Pro would be able to add video files to an existing PDF-file. You could therefore export a pdf from keynote and add the video files in afterwards. Not sure if the files will open in any other PDF-viewer than Adobe reader though.

Thanks for the quick reply, this is the process that I am trying to avoid/script if possible. If there was a one hit button that did that for users it would make it so much easier.
