Import .key presentations from Keynote

Question

Is there a way to import .key files from Keynote into OpenOffice in Ubuntu?

I know you can open them as zip files, but can't I open them as PDF or something similar?

Solution 1

Unfortunately this is not possible. If you have access to Keynote then you can export as .ppt and then import this file into OpenOffice Impress.

Solution 2

I had this problem with Slideshare all the time.

I just found zamzar.com. They have online conversion or email conversion. To convert something.foo to something.bar attach the source file to an email to [email protected] where bar is the desired output format.

Solution 3

This is now possible, but it requires creating an iCloud account. Once the account is created, click on the Keynote icon, then click on the gear icon and select "Upload Presentation..."

Once that is done, an icon should appear along with the title of the presentation. Click on it, and it should open up the presentation in a web view. Clicking on the wrench icon and selecting "Download a Copy..." should give you the option of downloading the file as a Keynote, PDF, or PowerPoint file.
