Using the Acrobat Reader for presentations
• Easy solution:
1. Use FoilTEX (or any other slide package).
FoilTEX uses a larger font, allows for landscape mode, slide
titles, etc, and is very easy to use.
2. Use pdflatex to produce a pdf-file.
pdflatex works just like LATEX, but produces a pdf-file.
3. View the pdf-file in Acrobat Reader, fullscreen mode.

Including pictures
PDF files can be included “as is”.
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\includegraphics{mdh.pdf}
Postscript files must be converted, using e.g. epstopdf.
I’ll describe METAPOST later.

What about bitmaps?
JPEG and PNG images can also be included. . .
but remember that bitmap images don’t scale well.

Color
• The color package is the preferred way to use colors.
• New colors are defined in RGB or CMY, for instance:
\definecolor{chocolate}{rgb}{0.82,0.41,0.12}
• Text can be set in a certain color,
\textcolor{chocolate}{$\phi = {(1+\sqrt{5}) \over 2}$}
which comes out as φ = (1+√
5)2

Pros and cons
• Good: Platform independent.
• Good: Inherits all of LATEX’ power:
– Typesetting of mathematical formulæs:
limn→∞
n∑i=1
1i2
=π2
6
– Automatic referencing, command definitions, etc.
• But: Not as exciting as e.g. Powerpoint.

Using links
You can define a label on a page with
\toptarget{toc}
and then later reference on another page with
\toplink{toc}{Table of Contents}
which will be shown as Table of Contents.
As usual with references, you have to run LATEX twice.

Backgrounds and page transitions
• Backgrounds can have a solid color or a gradient.
pagecolor{color} solid color
vpagecolor[color 1]{color 2} vertical gradient
hpagecolor[color 1]{color 2} horizontal gradient
• On this page I have chosen the romantic sunset motif.
