Package: impressive
Version: 0.10.2r-5
Severity: normal
When passing a resolution with "-r" to the pdftoppm program, a white
line may appear at the bottom or right side of the screen, if the
given resolution doesn't result in an image with an integer number of
pixels.
Impressive uses pdftoppm in this way, and so many PDFs show this
artifact, depending on the resolution. For example, the Beamer
document
\documentclass{beamer}
\beamersetaveragebackground{black}
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
should be all black, but shows a white line at the bottom.
This may be a bug in pdftoppm and has been reported upstream [1], but it
also seems that it would make more sense for Impressive to simply pass
the target width and height to pdftoppm, rather than trying to compute
an approximate "resolution". Would there be interest in such a patch?
