Hallo Thomas,
a user of our Debian packages has reported a bug (you might also say
feature request) for the seminar.con file you provide along with the
seminar package. When you process the following small file:
\documentclass[a4]{seminar}
% \input seminar.bug
% \input seminar.bg2
\begin{document}
\begin{slide}
\centerline{Slide Test}
\end{slide}
\end{document}
with latex-dvips-ps2pdf, this gives PDF files in landscape orientation,
because of the following (the only) line in seminar.con:
\renewcommand{\printlandscape}{\special{landscape}}
However, with pdflatex, the slide is typeset in landscape, but the page
is displayed as portrait, and therefore the slide is truncated on the
right.=20
I guess this can be easily corrected like this:
-\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. Do you
know, or should I ask Heiko Oberdiek?
