pdfpc can now handle latex beamer slides with notes on each page #34

Hi,

I added a feature where pdfpc can now handle latex beamer slides when there are notes attached.

I introduced a new command line option "notes" which specifies at which position the notes can be. The pdf view then crops the pdf to display only the needed part of the pdf.

Thank you for this! Merged in master.

I had thought of putting the notes in the place originally reserved for the (text-only) notes and still showing the current slide. What do you think about it?

AndreasBilke commented 11 years ago

If I understand you correctly I assume that the "notes slide" may be to small to read properly during a presentation. Maybe it would be possible to display the "notes slide" large (on the left side) and display the current slide at the position reserved for text notes.

You could see at which slide you are currently and read the notes properly. I would prefer such a solution. It would worth a try, but maybe 5 views (current note slide, current slide, next slide + 2 overlay views) are a bit too much for the presenter window.

You are right, it would probably be too small. I will try with your suggestion of putting the current slide on the space reserverd for the notes and see if it's ok or if it's too crowded.

Did you ever try to put the current slide in the space reserved for the notes? I think the current version in master shows the notes in that area and that there's a new issue opened which suggests doing exactly what you're suggesting here.
