Hi! When I use the outline to navigate quickly from one section of a document to another, I miss a Go Back feature that would allow me to navigate back to the exact point in the document where the cursor was before I clicked on an item in the outline. Does anybody know if there are any plans of implementing such feature? Cheers, Nicolás
Re: PDF to PowerPoint converter

Matlab eps files display problem
I have a problem with eps files produced with Matlab 7.4 (export figures to eps) (Note: With the older versions of Matlab this did not occur) The problem is that it is not displayed properly on the lyx screen.

I guess the problem is in the matlab eps export (so no lyx problem), but maybe someone has stumbled over this problem and knows a solution. thanks, Helmut -- Helmut Hauser Institute for Theoretical Computer Sciences Technische Universitaet Graz Inffeldgasse 16b, I A-8010 Graz, Austria --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: + 43 316 873-5821 Fax: + 43 316 873-5805 http://www.igi.TUGraz.at/helmut/

I will try ivritex's mailing list; it's quite weird, because I do have culmus fonts installed - the problem is with ivritex, still? Probably. My understanding is that most of the functionality of ivritex has already been incorporated into babel (3.8, I believe). However, that does *not* include usage of the culmus fonts --- so the fact that they're installed in the system doesn't mean that latex knows how to use them yet. That is still under development under the auspices of ivritex, and can be downloaded here https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33341. But I think that it's not complete yet, though I'm not sure. So here's what I would do: 1) try installing culmus-latex from the above link, and see how it is. You might want to try the subversion repository, which is slightly more up-to-date. 2) If it's not good enough, get in touch with the ivritex mailing list and see if anyone knows what the current status is: is this still being developed? Will this work ever be incorporated into babel, too? 3) It would be interesting to understand how the culmus fonts *do* already work in latex on Windows --- maybe that can point in a direction for getting it working on Linux, too... Agai, the ivritex list is where I would pursue this... Anyway, it is comfoting that you can see both in a good quality. Yes, I am not using adobe reader (since it is not free software); I am using just simple PDF viewer (actually, Evince 0.8.1) - for the experiment, I have tried a different PDF viewer - KGhostView 0.2.0 - and it looks much better - but this software is awfully slow and have problems with zoomings. Hmmm, I guess you're more idealistic than me... I have found that the quality in Acrobat Reader (which is at least free as in beer) is often significantly better than the open source alternatives that I have tried --- though I haven't tried these in a couple of years, so things may be better today. I'm sorry to hear the evince isn't better, I was hoping that perhaps it would be. You might want to try okular --- it's the new KDE viewer, still under development, I believe. Haven't tried it myself, though... Dov

Re: PDF to PowerPoint converter
Helge A tactic as you suggest would not work as one of the requirement is for the reader to have control over the colours of text and background. That is the _idea_, but do they demand powerpoints with reader control of colors from you, or do they just demand powerpoints? As far as I can make out the requirement is just PowerPoints Something they have with PDFs (certainly using Acrobat Reader you can) I think part of the problem is that people don't understand why I just don't use PowerPoint like everyone else. Which is why it might be a good idea to provide useless powerpoints in order to comply Well, that is where this thread began with my question about a PDF to PowerPoint converter.

Hmmm, I guess you're more idealistic than me... I have found that the quality in Acrobat Reader (which is at least free as in beer) is often significantly better than the open source alternatives that I have tried --- though I haven't tried these in a couple of years, so things may be better today. I'm sorry to hear the evince isn't better, I was hoping that perhaps it would be. You might want to try okular --- it's the new KDE viewer, still under development, I believe.

Re: PDF to PowerPoint converter
Although now way off topic, it may of some interest to share some of my findings on this. Although I have been looking at several places. Two web sites that are actually useful are: http://www.webaim.org/ AND http://www.open.ac.uk/inclusiveteaching/index.php The conclusions from all my reading is that only HTML fully qualifies as accessible, because it provides all the features (if properly created) that are needed by on screen viewers. PDFs CAN be fully accessible, because you can add the tags and the alternate text needed to direct text flow and provide alternate text for images ( the latter you can also do in PowerPoint). It seems that while HTML has the edge over PDF, they are very close. PowerPoints are NOT considered "fully" accessible,because they lack essential features. The advice is to convert PowerPoints to HTML, and provide these as alternatives to your PowerPoint, Additionally the Webaim site recommend writing your presentations in HTML to begin with and suggest Opera Show or S5, which work like PowerPoint but designed to use HTML. Thus making them in the format required for uploading. http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ Opera Show is built into the Opera Browser, the browser I used before switching to FireFox, and an Opera Show tutorial is at: http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/operashow/ Both are free. What I need to do now, see whether Lyx/Beamer/Latex will allow me to create HTML files with the appropriate tags and alternate text for figures that are needed. As I say not really a lyx issue, but it may be of interest to some.

Directly from LyX?, not that I know. But you can later transform your PDF to a tagged one. I don't
know how exactly, so please google a bit around.
If you mean Keywords in the PDF properties: the hyperref package does

A tagged PDF means that it is formatted so that it readable also on smaller devices like handhelds.
Then the text lines in PDFs can be broken to the needed screen width.
