One of the few things I like about Powerpoint is its ability to print large posters. You can do the same thing in Keynote 09, but it isn't immediately obvious how. Select a new file with whatever screen-size you want. Next, click on the Document icon (at far left) in the Inspector. On the Document tab, select Custom slide size... from the Slide Size drop-down. Enter whatever size poster you want, in pixels. Figure that the printout will be at 72 pixels per inch, so a 4- by 3-foot poster would be 3456 x 2592 pixels. When you're ready to print, export to whatever file type your poster printer accepts.

Posters in Keynote
If one has iWork, it perhaps makes more sense to do one's posters in Pages -- the page size can be set directly in inches or centimeters, rather than in pixels, and there is access to all of the graphics tools that Keynote has.

While users have been using Powerpoint to generate posters for well over a decade, it was primarily due to a lack of page layout capability in the MS Office suite. In iWork, I agree that this task should be done in Pages and not in Keynote.

I have to agree with the two above!

Hi all,
Posters in Keynote
you lose image quality if you do that.
Posters in Keynote
The Save as PDF function of the print dialog loses image quality. But Pages includes its own separate Export to PDF function, which creates much higher quality PDFs.

I have to agree with the first 3 commentators, bad hint. Use Pages.
Posters in Keynote
Aside from the obvious "use pages" comment that is 100% on the money. I have another issue:
Posters in Keynote
Obviously the 72 DPI is not the internal representation of the text and graphics in Keynote. It's only for the sake of the rulers and page size. I recently did a poster that was 6' x 4'. Because all the imported graphics were in PDF format along with the text it came out nice and sharp.

While I fully agree with the comments that a presentation tool should not be used to make posters, I have to point out that Apple themselves have not been above releasing WWDC poster templates in both Keynote and Powerpoint format:

There's another way too...
Sorry dude but that formula of yours isn't quite correct at all, I've got to make a poster and the results isn't very exactly. I'm not saying is not useful is just that it isn´t perfect :S , I'm just saying is just one part of the process...
info correction
great info thanks, although the inspector palette is to the far right (not left), having not been in Keynote for a while this error caused me some confusion! |
