I have moved an extensive KeynoteNF (Windows7) notebook to Zim (Linux 
and Windows7 via Dropbox).

To do this I wrote two perl scripts and a Linux utility (apt-get install 
unrtf). Using these it is pretty painless to export all your KeynoteNF 
notes to a directory, and then process each note one by one. Each note 
ends up as a Zim compatible directory tree with a subdirectory for each 
page/node that itself has child pages/nodes.

The scripts preserve indentation and tabs, but not text styles (though 
that would not be too hard to add).

Unrtf converts RTF to text. It preserves images by exporting them to 
".wmf" files. I only had three embedded images so I've not tried to use 
the ".wmf" files, but maybe they can be embedded in Zim (or converted 
and then embedded).

I haven't tested the output thoroughly yet, but it looks good. The 
process handled a 6MB KeynoteNF database containing eight notes, 
thousands (probably) of nodes in trees several nodes deep. Most of the 
data is in just two notes.

Let me know if you want these scripts.
