Stephan Lehmke writes: To be honest, the first thing I did was look at the file and wonder what the test was doing there, as no pdftex primitives were used. So I copied the code into a class file of mine. Klaus, is there a reason for this test? If not, could you take it out so I can use the style file with LaTeX instead of copying the code... When I wrote that style, the postprocessor did not yet exist and we used this form to build pages. The intention was to have the multiple pages only in the pdf file for presentation and to keep everything on ohne page for a normal latex run to prepare handouts. I kept it that way, but maybe we need another way of specifying whether \pause should be active or not. But be warned, TeX tries to be smart and sometimes you get strange results with texpause.sty. Dunno. If none of pdftex's special primitives are used, pdfTeX shouldn't be any dumber or smarter than TeX, no? That's right. pdftex isn't smarter. But both can try to squeeze another item on your page at the end at cost of reducing the glue between the upper items. This may give the impression of flickering pages, too. Of course you can avoid that reducing the shrinkability of glue items, but that is not done automat(g)ically. Doing the page split in the postprocessor avoids this problem because the page layout is done only once by pdftex.

Re: slideframe ?
Hi Friedemann, So I'm using latex+dvips+distiller+texpause.sty. What is "texpause.sty"? I couldn't find it on CTAN. texpause.sty is one of the ppower style files which can be downloaded from http://www-sp.iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/software/ppower4/pp4sty.zip fancyhdr. I've put an example (in german) on http://ls1-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/~lehmke/pub/Slides-display.pdf When I open this .pdf file in my acrobat reader (recently installed version 4), I can't read anything for it says that it is not able to extract the embedded fonts. The file is tested and works without problems in the following configurations: Acrobat exchange 3 and Acrobat reader 4 under SPARC Solaris Acrobat reader 3 under Windows 98 Acrobat reader 3 under Windows NT Acrobat reader 4 under some sort of Windows OS they had at the site of the conference (HNF in Paderborn). Is this a problem of Your document or a problem of the reader? (With the .pdf files produced on my machine I didn't get this problem.) And when it is a problem of the file, does it depend on the way the file is produced? I experience exactly this error regularly, but nondeterministically. Don't know what causes it. I once had the impression it's got something to do with font subsetting, but this doesn't seem to be the problem. Maybe you somehow downloaded the document in ASCII mode? regards Stephan -- Stephan Lehmke [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fachbereich Informatik, LS I Tel. +49 231 755 6434 Universitaet Dortmund FAX 6555 D-44221 Dortmund, Germany

Stephan Lehmke writes: I'm still doing my slides with seminar, which works nicely with ppower. But you don't use frames, do you? I assume, frames might appear completely only with the final part of an incremental page. Further: What magic must one use, to have seminar and pdftex agree on the size of a page? Can you give a short sample? In my initial attempts with seminar and pdftex I got only small text in the upper part of the pdf page. Then I stayed with foils.
