more seriously,...HA ! Nothing I create is junk !! <br /><br />more seriously, that's true. multiinclude can't select a non-contiguous user specified set of views, in which case it's better to use includegraphics in the manner you suggest. <br /><br />What would really be good is if multiinclude inherited the pages= option from pdfpages, so you could specify an arbitrary set of views to use.Suresh Venkatasubramanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15898357513326041822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555947.post-14275596233253398802009-09-16T09:32:15.113-06:002009-09-16T09:32:15.113-06:00I assumed you know about it.

When using pdflatex one can already use multipage PDFs like this:<br />\includegraphics[page=1]{foo}<br />\includegraphics[page=2]{foo}<br />Is there no way to do some Beamer magic on that?<br /><br />Personally, I've made my last few presentations fully in Ipe (one page per slide, with views for animations). Apart from the lack of the visually nice Beamer themes, I've been pretty happy with that approach.Dirk Gerritshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245071490652382254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555947.post-4162743223610281382009-09-16T07:13:45.273-06:002009-09-16T07:13:45.273-06:00It's even better than that.
