I've used Latex Beamer for my presentation. You write the source in

have Presentation mode. For me, living in Windows dominating world, I
have never had any problem with my beamer generated PDF presentation.

EXACTLY what I've been looking for. I've been using WWW pages for presentations for years, most recently W3C's "slidemaker". I've looked enviously at people's slick PDFs, but never found a good way to write them. Beamer seams to do it easily. Better still; it turns out I've had it right here for the last 18 mo, as it came in the FDC distro.

Thanks!
