340 Chapter 15. Presentation Material
Store this in a file named sempdftx.sty, which can then be loaded with
\usepackage. It is programmed to do nothing if pdfT E X is not being
used. Alternatively, add a line \RequirePackage{sempdftx} to the local
configuration file seminar.con to load it on every seminar run.
Note: This file can be copied from the enclosed CD in the directory
\books\Kopka_and_Daly\, where a version of seminar.con is also available.
15.3 Electronic documents for screen viewing
Package:
pdfscreen
Strictly speaking, this section is not about presentation material that is
to be projected before an audience, but rather about documents that are
deliberately intended to be read from a computer monitor. These have
other requirements from printable documents: the page shape should be
more like a monitor (that is, landscape instead of portrait) and navigation
aids should be included especially if the viewer’s regular tool bars have
been switched off. And of course, internal links should be present, as
well as links to external web sites and documents.
The pdfscreen package by C. V. Radhakrishnan is an effort to fulfill
these requirements. But it is more flexible than that, for it also allows
the entire document to be output in traditional print format. And it even
contains a slide environment for making projection material, so it does
indeed belong to this chapter.
The supplied manual can be found in texmf\doc\latex\pdfscreen,
in print and screen versions. The source file manual.tex can serve as a
good example of how to use the package. Figure 15.2 on the opposite page
demonstrates what a title page can look like, complete with navigation
panel which appears on every page.
Parameters for pdfscreen
This package should be loaded with the article class and with the
hyperref package. In fact, it should be considered to be an extension to
hyperref. And it should be loaded last, right after hyperref.
The options that may be invoked with the \usepackage command are
screen to generate the output in the screen version, for online reading;
print to generate the print version of the output;
panelleft
to place the navigation panel at the left;
panelright
to place the navigation panel at the right;
