Creating Slides for a Presentation

There are several methods to create slides using LaTeX. All of these use PDF format output.

Standard Slides

Producing PDF Slides Directly

If you have chosen the to use pdflatex processor, PDF format files are produced directly. Using this method, all that is required is to add the appropriate screen definitions. The pdfscreen package (alternate site) does this, and provides various backgrounds, buttons, and so forth. To use it, simply download all the files to a folder called pdfscreen under texinputs. This package also requires the comment package (alternate site).

An example source file, slide.tex, is given in the package (output is pdfscreeneg1.pdf). Another example source illustrates some other possibilities using this package (output is pdfscreeneg2.pdf).
