I am looking for a tool to automatically convert a set of Beamer slides (in PDF format) into current versions of Keynote. I have hundreds of slides, so need something automated. To be clear, each slide is a single page in the PDF.
I do realize this is a rehash of this question, but after exploring the answers, they either a) do not work for current versions of Keynote, b) are no longer available, or c) are not automated. The app mentioned in the first answer seems like it might be workable, but requires access to an older version of Keynote in order to update the file produced by the app, such that it is then eligible for the current versions of Keynote. I do not have access to older versions of Keynote.
Best Answer
Launch Keynote
As mac Keynote cannot open PDF directly, you will need to launch Keynote by opening an existing Keynote file. Just click on the file, and Keynote will automatically open the file.
Drag and drop the PDF you want to convert to Keynote to left side where all the Keynote pages are listed in thumbnails. You can move up and down while dragging the PDF to the Keynote. On the right panel, you can choose style, image and arrange icons to tweak the setting of imported PDF.
Go to File > Save to save the Keynote file. Your PDF is now converted to Keynote on mac.
