Keynote - PDF File Size

Ever since upgrading to Sequoia i have been having an issue exporting to PDF from Keynote. Previously a 70MB keynote file would produce a 8MB PDF in Good format. Now when I export with the same settings the PDF file size is more than the keynote file size and around 100MB! What has caused this change? Is anyone else having the same issue. Keynote can you please fix this!

PDFs Exported from Keynote No Longer Compressing in Acrobat Pro Hi everyone, I’ve run into an issue with PDFs exported from Keynote that used to work fine but no longer compress in Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I try to use the “Compress a PDF” tool, I get this error: “An error was encountered while processing images.” What’s Strange: Old Keynote files that I exported to PDF and successfully compressed in Acrobat Pro in the past now fail with the same error. This issue started recently, so I’m wondering if it could be related to either: Keynote's latest update (Version 14.2). macOS Sequoia (15.1.1) upgrade. Here’s What I’ve Tried: Exporting new PDFs from Keynote with different quality settings (high-quality and reduced file size). Testing the Compress a PDF tool as well as the Save as Other > Reduced Size PDF option in Acrobat Pro. Using PowerPoint as a workaround: Exporting the Keynote file as a PPTX, then exporting to PDF from PowerPoint. These PDFs compress fine in Acrobat Pro. Current Setup: MacOS: Sequoia 15.1.1 Keynote: Version 14.2 (7041.0.109) Adobe Acrobat Pro: Build 24.4.20272.0 My Questions: Has anyone else encountered this issue recently? Could this be related to Keynote’s latest update or macOS Sequoia? Are there any workarounds to avoid using PowerPoint to reprocess the files? Thanks so much for your insights and help! PhiSKT

Keynote 12.2.1 problems when exporting PDF Hi. I'm trying to export a keynote slide to PDF, however I'm facing a problem. The keynote slide has 1280x800 pixels dimensions. However, when exporting it via File -> Export to -> PDF... the resulting PDF misses the top and bottom parts when compared with the original slide. For example, this is the original slide: But the resulting PDF looks like this: As you can see, Keynote has added a white stripe both at the top and bottom of the resulting PDF. I've tried to generate the PDF using "Print..." instead of "Export to" and the results are the same. Any clues? Thanks!
