Bug#289848: tetex-bin: pdflatex generates truncated seminar slides
Hallo Heiko,
ein gutes Neues Jahr!
Thomas Esser would like to add some PDFTeX-specific code to a
configuration file, and we would appreciate your help, because we don't
know the necessary pdftex commands.
The seminar class usually sets its slides in landscape format, and
issues the command \printlandscape. To make the paper being displayed in
landscape format in viewers, Thomas has used a configuration file with
the following line for a long time:
\renewcommand{\printlandscape}{\special{landscape}}
which only works with latex-dvips-ps2pdf/distiller. I suggested to
change this according to:
-\renewcommand{\printlandscape}{\special{landscape}}
+\usepackage{ifpdf}
+\renewcommand{\printlandscape}{%
+ \ifpdf
+ some code I don't know
+ \else
+ \special{landscape}%
+ \fi
+}
But I do not know which special commands are needed for PDF. Maybe you
even know something for VTeX?
Many thanks in advance,
Frank
