NAME
makebeamerinfo - Creates .info file for use with Impressive and LaTeX Beamer
SYNOPSIS
makebeamerinfo # No args starts the program in GUI mode
makebeamerinfo -p document.pdf # Explicitly specify location of .pdf file
makebeamerinfo --help/-h # Shows a usage messageDESCRIPTION
Impressive is a pdf viewer that aids in viewing presentations made in LaTeX Beamer. Impressive uses a .info control file to specify the transitions used between pages. While this file isn't necessary, the Beamer-based presentation can be presented in a much more consistant style when the .info file is tuned to the individual presentation. makebeamerinfo is designed to create this file based on an auxiliary file (.nav) that Beamer creates in parallel with the presentation. It also does not require any configuration or tags in the presentation source.
