<br>some people would obviously prefer ppt files so they can edit them, copy
<br>the graphics in full resolution, etc. Of course, I can't give them that,
<br>so I offer my latex source.
<br><br>This isn't always easy, as I leave the graphics files in sensible
<br>locations (for me) and just set the GraphicsPath to find them all. With
<br>a big presentation this can be lots of files scattered all over my
<br>hard-drive, and I often thought about trying to automate the process.
<br><br>Today, after another request, I had a go at this by writing a script
<br>that searches through the log file, finds all the graphics (they are
<br>called out with a very specific form: <use /home/me/images/file.png>),
<br>generates a shell script that then copies these all, together with the
<br>latex source, to a target directory, and finally tar's it up. I append
<br>the script in case anyone finds it useful.
<br><br>But it is a quick hack and far from perfect, so I'm wondering if someone
<br>has done a better job, or has the interest in improving mine. Here are
<br>some of the deficiencies:
<br><br>1 It doesn't find the graphics files that are in folders specified by my
<br>TEXINPUTS environment (nor I presume in tex's default paths) as these
<br>don't have a full path hierarchy in the log, i.e., they look like: <use
<br>mylogo.png>
<br><br>2 As written it only packs the top level latex document (that matches
<br>the stem of the logfile name), so any included or inputted files don't
<br>end up in my archive (I haven't tried to solve this, so maybe it's easy
<br>to likewise spot them)
<br><br>3 It also doesn't add any custom .sty files, though distinguishing
<br>these from the plethora of packages loaded by beamer and available in
<br>the standard distribution is probably a nightmare.
<br><br>4 It's probably very inelegant - I'm not really a script writer, more
<br>of a hacker, in particular:
<br><br>5 It will fail if the graphics file extends over three lines :-). I hit
<br>this one because the log file wraps lines with a newline character after
<br>79 characters.
<br><br>6 To be more universal, it would be better to be written in a portable
<br>scripting language, e.g., perl, rather than as a C-script
<br><br>This is not at all pressing, but any thoughts, improvements, or
<br>alternatives would satisfy some curiosity. I'll send this also to the
<br>texhax mailing list, but I think it is probably more likely to be of
<br>interest to the beamer community.

<br>tool. I have a small problem which I cannot seem to fix or even
<br>isolate. I use href to provide links to external material (mostly web
<br>links), of the form
<br><br> \href{<a href="http://some.where/blah" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://some.where/blah</a>}{\fbox{text}}
<br><br>and this works like a charm *almost* everywhere. The one slide where
<br>I just cannot get this to work (with xpdf as the viewer) is one in
<br>which I have the option [shrink=20] for the particular frame. The
<br>links are simply not active -- xpdf doesn't indicate the presence of a
<br>link anywhere on the frame.
<br><br>Has anybody observed this behaviour before? Any hints on how to solve
<br>this (other than to remove the shrink option please ;-).

This answer comes rather late, but when using apacite you can say:
<br><br>\usepackage[notocbib]{apacite} % This does not put the bibliography in the table of contents if it is an unnumbered section or chapter.

<br><br>I don't know if your problem has been fixed already? But if you have problems with the positioning of frame content, then the textpos-package could be interesting for you.
<br>Contrary to what the name suggest's it will also place pictures. The big advantage of it is, that the content of every textblock-environment is positioned independently from any other (textblock)-environment. Together with the \only-command you can finetune when the content should appear/disappear.
<br>I give you an example of usage:
<br><br>---start---
<br><br>\documentclass{beamer}
<br>\usepackage{graphicx,animate,color,pgf}
<br>\usepackage[absolute,overlay]{textpos}
<br>\usepackage{amssymb,eurosym}
<br>\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
<br>\graphicspath{{Bilder/}}
<br>\DeclareGraphicsRule{*}{pdf}{*}{}
<br>\setlength{\TPHorizModule}{12.0cm}
<br>\setlength{\TPVertModule}{8.0cm}
<br>\textblockorigin{1.0cm}{1.0cm}
<br><br>\begin{document}
<br><br>\begin{frame}
<br> \frametitle{some title}
<br> \begin{textblock*}{1.0cm}(0.0cm,8.0cm)
<br> \insertframenumber\ | \inserttotalframenumber
<br>\end{textblock*} %page number is always placed at the same position,
<br>%irrespectively of the frame content
<br>\only<2->{%
<br>\begin{textblock*}{6.0cm}(2.50cm,2.5cm)
<br>\includegraphics<2->[width=6.0cm,keepaspectratio]{picture2}
<br>\end{textblock*}
<br>}
<br>\only<1->{%
<br>\begin{textblock*}{11.0cm}(0.0cm,0.0cm)
<br> Some text, shown on slides 1+2
<br>\end{textblock*}
<br>}
<br>\only<1->{%
<br>\begin{textblock*}{11.0cm}(0.0cm,1.0cm)
<br>\includegraphics<1->[width=11.0cm,keepaspectratio]{picture1}
<br>\end{textblock*}
<br>}
<br>\end{frame}
<br><br>\end{document}
<br><br>---end---
<br><br>Notice: Layer 1 is on top in beamer, layer 2 is below layer 1, layer 3 is below layer 2, and so on. The numbers ,,X'' in the command \only<X> only specify, in which order the content of the textblock-environment is to be shown. On which layer this content is attached to is determined on the order in which it appears in the source code!
<br>Therefore in this example picture2, which will be displayed atop (e.g. on layer 1) of picture1, has to be mentioned first.
<br><br>Good luck,

</div><br>This is a real FAQ, and I've compiled a list of remedies I've got from

<br><br>Briefly, the pgf way is to centre the graphics in a pgfpicture that has

<br>always the same. (I'll confess I don't know much about pgf, and I
<br>couldn't find anything in the manual that matches the construct in the
<br>code below, which is based on a reply I got from Till Tantau, the beamer
<br>and pgf author). The parbox way is to put them all in a parbox that is
<br>centred on the line (the [c] option) AND has a prescribed height (the

<br><br>I do see in your first response to me that you said

<br>>(I used: \newcommand{\linkmovie}[2]{\href{#1.avi}{#2}} )
<br>>
<br>>Then, Windows already works and in Linux you need a wrapper script that will

<br>>calls wine properly. (For other files, it would fall back to e.g. firefox or
<br>>a warning message, see my simple script.)
<br><br>So I think it's that script that I'm missing.
<br><br>> You would take my template and change it so that it basically does "if the

<br>> my favorite movie player, otherwise call firefox, which would have been
<br>> called by acroread in the first place, if I wasn't intercepting the browser

<br>> 1) put the script into their $PATH,
<br>> 2) use acroread if they want to view the full presentation on Linux, and
<br>> 3) put the script name into its preferences (once).
<br><br>That's my second problem. I'm running Acroread 8.1.3. The closest I
<br>see to the ability to set preferences is the Edit > Preferences menu

<br>(e.g., a file name extension) with an app. I do see is the ability to
<br>set the Preferred Media Player under Multimedia, but the only option it
<br>gives me is RealOne(tm) Player -- no way to set alternatives.
<br><br>Again, I realize I'm probably staring right at it and not seeing it,

<br>call". Then tell your Linux users to
<br>1) put the script into their $PATH,
<br>2) use acroread if they want to view the full presentation on Linux, and
<br>3) put the script name into its preferences (once).
<br><br>If you have an installer for the mdl-stuff anyway, you could try to add 1) and

<br><br>You cannot escape spaces retroactively; IMO *all* programs should escape

<br>any strange characters which happen to occur in my mother language (after
<br>all, we have 2008!). This is not hard at all, yet quite some programs (and

<br>keepaspectratio option like this:

<br><br>I will present my master thesis next week and I have two .avi videos that I included using the \movie command. I don't want these videos to be full screen since I have other figures beside them. When I connect a projector to my laptop, the movie keeps its size on my laptop but becomes full screen on the projection screen. Moreover there is a delay and we don't see the beginning of the movie on the projection screen.
<br><br>I heard that this problem may come from the external viewer configuration when I use a projector, even if the movie is played within my pdf file.
<br><br>Any suggestions?
<br><br>Thanks a lot

<br><br>Exactly. The point is how difficult it is to make it work.
<br><br>> I appreciate your help. I've spent enough time on this so that I think
<br>> I should just use the two link approach: everytime I want to be able to
<br>> launch a .mdl file, I'll put both the \href{run:model.mdl}{Windows} and
<br>> \href{run:see model.mdl}{Linux} commands and pick the right one when I'm
<br>> doing the presentation.
<br><br>But the latter ("run:see model.mdl") is invalid AFAICS. It only works in xpdf
<br>because xpdf does not properly escape the space. As soon as xpdf is "fixed"
<br>to behave like other viewers (especially acroread), it will stop working.
<br>I still think that my approach (using a "browser") is a lot easier to set up /
<br>maintain.
<br><br>Anyhow, I propose that you use a command definition like my \linkmovie, then
<br>you can change the approach and only have to change your preamble (or
<br>.cls/.sty file, if used).
