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

Ah, ok I don't know  -- I have a little experience with javascript but if you can send me your pdf I can check if javascripts fail , just for curiosity .

Sure of course. Thank you very much. I'll make a personal mail in case for the attached file.

and what about pdf -> ps ->(some transformations) ps -> pdf ?

I don't know. I hope I can find an easy way. By easy, I mean simple and comfortable. ;)

\setuppapersize[SM|SW] or a papersize with the the same width/height ratio as the projector.

That won't go well. The projector is as stupid as it could be. It will honestly send what's shown on my laptop to the screen only stretch it to a special ratio. If I make a wide screen version. It will be a wide version on my laptop with the header and footer cut, I mean it won't fill my laptop screen. Then the projector will produce a wide version on a wide ratio. It'll be 256:100 rather than 16:10. Still not what I wanted.

Can't you set the same resolution on your laptop as the projector has, the layout on your laptop is then deformed but the screen version is correct.

Well, that's a good idea. But actually, that's not really "my" laptop so I can't test it right now. I hope the notebook is not too old (which I assume it can be) to support a wide screen resolution.

Awesome, but still, the javascript things are gone :(

I feared something like this will happen, I guess you get also problems with hyperlinks etc.

Anyway, I'll try the resolution method.

By the way, is there any chance that I can use a stretched font without disturbing the output routine? I think I can try a narrow font and re-draw my pictures.

AFAIK XeTeX has such a feature but is the presentation worth such tricks. Wolfgang
