TOPIC
Create impressive Presentations using Beamer LaTeX (Fri, 28th Oct, 1830 hrs).

 

MOTIVATION
Presentation slides are an important communication device when we want to communicate technical ideas, design with a larger audience.

 

in-person Seminars, Technical meetings and now online sessions are important platforms where many intellectual ideas are discussed.

 

Beamer together with powerful LaTeX provides an excellent tooling set for creating impressive slides. LaTeX is an alternative to Powerpoint, Impress etc.


You can re-use your diagram, your mathematical formulae and other scientific representations directly into a LaTeX presentation.

 

There is a large set of layout theme and color theme available which will be experimented during the session.

  • Creating presentations has always been a key part of my work. I’ve learned that choosing the right file format can make a big difference in how professional and polished it looks. For example, I often need to combine multiple PDF files, and using tools like https://pdfguru.com/tr/merge-pdf maked the process much easier and smoother. The presentation was impressive.

  • convert utility from ImageMagick is very handy for the conversion. however, you need to update the 'policy.xml' file.

    locate this section towards the end of the policy.xml file

    <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PS" />
    <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PS2" />
    <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PS3" />
    <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="EPS" />
    <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" />
    <policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="XPS" />

    update the attribute 'rights' with the value "read | write".

    then convert will work.
