Hi, I'm creating a beamer presentation and screencasting a walkthrough of it for work. I wanted to use impress!ve, but was getting errors about there being no pages in the document. [1] In looking this error up, it seems that impressive requires pdf version 1.4, which can be passed with this:
\pdfminorversion=4 Unfortunately, exporting via Orgmode causes this error with that command: ,--- | ! pdfTeX error (setup): \pdfminorversion cannot be changed after data is | written to the PDF file. `--- In searching that error, I found the 1.4 documentation, which states:[2] ,--- | it probably means that some package loaded before pdf14 did write data to the PDF file. | In case the document class is (indirectly) doing it, you’ll need to load pdf14 even before the | \documentclass command, using \RequirePackage{pdf14} as the first line of your source file. `--- Using this suggestion solves my problem. There doesn't seem to be a way to get this as the first line via Orgmode; I have to export and then go to the .tex file directly to change it. Any suggestions? I realize this is a pretty fringe case. If it's one where it's just not worth it to implement something if nothing already exists, that's completely acceptable to me. I just thought I'd bring it up! It's primarily a nuisance because impressive hasn't been updated in about a year. I wouldn't normally use it, but the ability to zoom, use a "spotlight" for the mouse, and so on are just really neat for something like this.
