 Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2004 1:14 am Post subject: Prosper Presentation: Oversized Slides? [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hello,
I'm working on a slide presentation for my thesis using the LaTeX package Prosper. I'm noticing that the slides, when viewed with acroread in fullscreen mode, seem to be a little bit bigger than my screen. For example, the page number bit in the bottom right corner (2/15, meaning slide 2 of 15) is cut off. This happens no matter which slide style I use, and I know it's possible to fix because I've viewed other presentations on this machine that appear okay.
It's probably a switch to the building commands or something, maybe a prosper option, that I'm missing. Here is what I am building the presentation with:
| Code: |
# latex presentation.tex
# dvipdf presentation.dvi
# acroread presentation.pdf
|
And here is my documentclass line:
| Code: |
\documentclass[autumn,pdf,final,colorBG,slideColor,total]{prosper}
|
Any ideas?

I found the answer in the WikiProsper FAQ.
The trick is to specify the paper size as A4 when you generate the document. For example, my new chain of commands is:
| Code: |
# latex presentation.tex
# dvips -t a4 presentation.dvi -o presentation.ps
# ps2pdf presentation.ps presentation.pdf
|
That seems to work quite well. The secret is the "-t a4" part of the dvips switches.
Thanks Arker  ,
