Notes are not getting seperated

Open DHVEF opened this issue 10 years ago • 12 comments

In the presenter mode the notes and the slides are both shown on the primary and secondary screen.

I am Using Kile 2.1 and Ubuntu 3.19.0-25-generic.

I am also seeing notes on both screens. I am on Ubuntu 14.04.

Is it a pdfpc Issue or did i something wrong in the .tex? How do i resolve this problem?

FYI: pdfpc development has moved to pdfpc/pdfpc, where there have been some improvements to the code base. I was able to display your PDF correctly with that project, so maybe you can give it a try.

Also, just to be sure, you are using the --notes flag?

@rschroll: I failed installing pdfpc 4.0. I have some trouble installing gstreamer1.0, after installing for 5h about 30 packages. I am more the "sudo apt-get install pdfpc4.0" guy. What do you mean with "--notes" flag. I run pdfpc 3.x.x without any options.

If you want pdfpc to use part of your slide as notes, you have to tell it which part with the --notes flag. For the example you posted, you'd need to use '--notes=right'.

Sadly i get this error with the option:

dhvef@dhvef-System-Product-Name:~/Dokumente/DiplomPrae$ pdfpc [--notes=right] mini.pdf

No brackets -- just 'pdfpc --notes=right mini.pdf'.

Sorry, I forgot how old 3.1.1 is. Support for these sorts of notes was added in 8ce64671a, which came after the 3.1.1 release. It should work with the head of this repository. But if you're going to build pdfpc yourself, you're better off using the pdfpc/pdfpc repository.

If you are using LaTeX this may be interesting for you maybe: https://github.com/cebe/pdfpc-latex-notes I created it after asking this question on stackoverflow: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/119191/extract-all-note-tags-from-beamer-as-a-simple-text-file

@rschroll: Where do i get the pdfpc/pdfpc repository. I didnt find them in the Documentation or Readme. Can you give me a hint? Thanks for your help.

@cebe: Your package works fine, but i have the same problem.
