I decided to convert one of my earlier presentations into using the blackboard theme. The problem is the original slides involve math formulae created by LaTeX Equation Editor. The equations were dragged from LEE's window into Keynote as a pdf, and they all have black text color, which makes it very hard to read on dark background.

Question: how to invert the color without re-creating all the involved equations and graphics? Thx!

You can try opening those PDFs in Photoshop and changing the colors there, then bringing them back into Keynote.

Yup tried that but PS left an ugly contour around the texts - I guess somewhere in between the formulae got converted into bitmaps (they were in vector form in Keynote right? I could resize them to the size I want smoothly)

Any other suggestion?

Hmm, if you have Illustrator, I'd try that.
