Peter,

I haven't used it for business cards, but see no reason why it couldn't be used that way. And in terms of artwork for printing, definitely. You can work with 300dpi graphics, and export them at full resolution as TIFF or JPG files, so you wouldn't be losing out on image quality. Really would depend on what your printer expected in terms of the the artwork - so for business cards you could just ask them and see.

Yes Keynote exports to PDF (with a fancy border) as well as images. Or you can always just do a File, Print, Save as PDF (which works for any application on Mac).

By the way, I've upgraded 4 of our Macs to Leopard now and not encountered any problems with applications (and we use quite a few - not Photoshop though:) Maybe the posts you are seeing only reflect the problems, where upgrades are smooth you won't see a post to the group.

Glenn.

Thanks for that info Glenn. I am thinking of upgrading my trusty e-Mac to a new iMac, but I have been scared of all the stories on WAMUG lately about how software won't work with it. I use Photoshop occasionally but just for fun and I can't justify shelling out $2-3000 when most of what I want to do is crop pics or create some snappy buttons or graphics for a web site. Can Keynote be used to produce artwork for printing? For instance, business cards, and does it produce pdf files.
