What changes

  • Apple Keynote is opened by our office engine headless and exported as OpenDocument Presentation, prioritizing office fidelity for key-to-odp.
  • Paragraph styles, tables, images, headers, footers, and page breaks are preserved when our office engine can map them.
  • Slides export as pages; speaker notes, transitions, animations, embedded media playback, and presenter-only data are dropped.
  • Missing fonts are substituted by server fonts, so line breaks and pagination can shift from the authoring machine.
  • Tracked changes are accepted as the visible document state; reviewer comments may not appear unless they are visible in the exported view.
  • The destination office file is editable but may not keep application-specific templates, themes, or unsupported controls exactly.
