Can anybody help with how to make a pdf file that is small enough to email from a Numbers document that's very big. I added thumbnails of photos to a Numbers spreadsheet (I thought the thumbnails would be small, but no) and the resulting 10 pg. file was 94 MB. Numbers' smallest pdf setting produced a 35 MB pdf file -- way too big to be useful for anything. Acrobat Distiller won't recognize Numbers files (how come?), and the Numbers file won't go into InDesign (a tedious solution but I can distill better from InDesign). Numbers isn't much use to me if I can't get the file into a shareable size! Any ideas?

However, try to add a voice over to that and the timing is again, way way off.
This is a bit of an improvement, but still without the ability to create properly timed narrated presentation that can be exported and burned to DVD at full quality, Keynote still does not work as advertised...
I downloaded the update and tested the stuff that I was doing. It works perfectly, of course the project was due 2 weeks ago and I had to find another work around.
As for the Audio, I ended up just popping it in iMovie and Garageband and doing the audio there. You have more control of the audio in those programs anyway.
Unless they made it less bloated, I'll stick to using WriteRoom.

It would not play well with any transitions or anything more complicated than changing to the next slide. Hopefully they fixed that.

For example, for the greek symbol "mu" type mu for square root of 2 sqrt{2}.
LatexIt generates a transparent PDF graphic of the equation which you can drag into your document. It comes out extremely professional (indeed most professional Physics textbooks are set using Latex!)
I hope this fixed some of the numerous numbers bugs x_x and the couple pages bugs. keynote has seemed to work excellently for me, though I remember hearing of a bug that caused the comp to crash when you hit play so I sure hope that's fixed.
