Package: latex-beamer Version: 3.07-1 Severity: wishlist Hello,
hyperref version 6.75p disables pdfpagelabels if \thepage is undefined
when hyperref is loaded, which is the case when the first line of the
document is \documentclass{beamer}. Instead, beamer should (1) define
\thepage earlier so that hyperref enables pdfpagelabels; (2) use the
\thispdfpagelabel macro (introduced in hyperref version 6.71f) to set
the pdf page label on every frame. Currently, I achieve these effects
by saying
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\documentclass{beamer}
\mode<presentation>
{
\setbeamertemplate{sidebar left}{\thispdfpagelabel{\insertframenumber}}
}
in my presentation document. The page labels are useful because they
ease navigation in PDF viewers such as Acrobat Reader and pspresent
(the latter in conjunction with a patch to pdftops that I will submit
shortly).
Thank you,
Ken
