Re: [NTG-context] How to make a stretched pdf file

Well, since it's a presentation, I really have some "cool" style to show by using javascript. I think including separated pages will jeopardize it. On Fri, May 22, 2009 at 11:55 PM, luigi scarso wrote:

Hi guys,

This may sound crazy, but I have to do a presentation with a stretched output.

The thing is, I have a laptop with a normal screen, and it'll be plugged to a very big wide screen monitor so that people can see the slides on the big screen. I have to look at my laptop and present for the people, so what I'm thinking is make a stretched output on my 4:3 screen which looks very narrowed and then the effect on the screen will be just as normal.

Is there an easy option for this?

hmm are you sure that there isn't a way to choose a graphic mode for you output that do what you want ? Otherwise, maybe you can make a pdf -> ps, apply a matrix transformation with ghostscript  to this ps and reconvert to pdf Or you can use something like \starttext \starTEXPage \externalfigure[slides.pdf][page=1,width=...,height=...]\page \externalfigure[slides.pdf][page=2,width=...,height=...]\page \externalfigure[slides.pdf][page=3,width=...,height=...]\page \externalfigure[slides.pdf][page=4,width=...,height=...]\page ... \stopTEXPage \stoptext
