Hi,
I have just realized that powerpoint in slideshow mode has some quite nice features which can be used from keyboard shortcuts (http://www.internet4classrooms.com/shortcuts_ppxp.htm): B - Black screen W - White screen Ctrl-p - pen drawing tool E - Erase Can you have something similar in a beamer presentation? tia, -- Brian (remove the sport for mail) http://www.et.web.mek.dtu.dk/Staff/be/be.html http://www.rugbyklubben-speed.dk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

This has nothing to do with Beamer (which just generates, e.g., a pdf file, and everything to do with the application you use to present that pdf. So you should look at various possible viewers to see their capabilities. Alternatives to acroread exist, depending on your operating system. Okular (the kde4 pdf viewer) for example has a draw/erase tool in presentation mode. I think perhaps the PDF Xchange viewer on windows may also allow you to do some of this.

But, I cannot rely on having other viewers available. So maybe the pdf language would allow me to include these features in the presentation. The black and white slide I believe would be fairly easy, but I am no sure about how to make a keyboard shortcut link to a specific page. The drawing tool might even be possible by adding some kind of interactivity in the pdf.

What's wrong with planning to use a particular PDF viewer and getting used to its presentation mode features? > The black and white slide I believe would be fairly easy, but I am no > sure about how to make a keyboard shortcut link to a specific page. I use evince for presentations and it supports the 'b' shortcut, though not 'w,' and certainly not the annotations. > The drawing tool might even be possible by adding some kind of > interactivity in the pdf. You might farm this out to a tool like gromit: http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/gromit/ It may also be possible to use a window manager like compiz, which has the Annotate plugin: http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Annotate > Regards, > -- Michael R.
