We are very excited to announce that we have uploaded a new version of “Converter for Keynote”. The main new feature in version 1.0.4 is support for batch migrations of Keynote presentations.  The App can be used to batch convert Keynote presentations. There are also some minor UI bug fixes.

Support for batch migrations has been something that you, our users, have been asking for a few weeks. So we managed to put some time together to implement it. Now multiple Keynote presentations can be selected for conversion. All the presentations will be migrated from Keynote ’08 to Keynote ’09 without you doing a thing…!

How to Batch Convert Keynote Files

From the main screen, simply press the “Open” button and select as many Keynote ’08 files that you would like to convert. Then simply press the “Convert” button to start the conversion process. Names of files that did not convert will be displayed at the end of the process. (Optionally you can choose to be alerted as the conversion takes place.) That’s all there is to it..!

This certainly simplifies the migration procedure if you have many old presentations that need to be converted. No longer do you have to spend hours converting each one. Everything is handled by our App in this one-click conversion.

This update is a free update to our current users.  If Keynote Converter does not pick up the update automatically, use the “Check for Updates” option in the Application menu. Alternatively, press the “Check for Updates Now” button in Preferences.
