I would like to export my Keynote slides to pdf with the presenter notes. The layout of the resulting pdf is not good : the slides are scaled down on each page, and the text of the presenter note is not aligned with the slides (see screnshot) Is there a way to change that layout ? I tried the option "print to pdf", but I can't get good result.

If it's impossible to get nice pdf from Keynote, do you know any other app that could handle this correctly?

This is a cosmetic bug you could report to Apple.

Here is my best approach I used to get a decent PDF. In printing menu, select Keynote > Print: > Handout > Add Notes enter image description here

  • But that workaround doesn't solve the problem of the scaled-down slide and the non-aligned text ?

  • You are right. This doesn't answer your question. Let me search back in my previous Keynote files.

If you have access to Powerpoint, one easy option is to export from Keynote to Powerpoint (pptx), and then print from Powerpoint to PDF with the Notes layout.

Powerpoint does a slightly better job of formatting presenter notes. They're better aligned, in a larger font size, and the default aspect ratio is portrait. Not perfect, but looks a bit nicer than the Keynote export style.
