With this package you can create simple pdf slides from standard LaTeX documents.
Use the \section command to start a new slide. Then you can use whatever you want on your slide (e.g., itemize, enumerate, includegraphics). What the package basically does is it changes the page size and orientation, changes font style and size, sets the header and provides title slides.

features

• Uses only standard LaTeX commands instead of special commands like slidetex.
  • Create slides directly from a paper: Add a few line to the preamble of your paper's tex file, delete or abbreviate what you don't like to have on your slides and you are ready to go.
  • Create a paper form your slides: Take the LaTeX code from your slides. Build some pretty sentences from your bullet points and it's (almost) an award winning paper.
• Directly produces slides in pdf format:
  • Slides with slide index for presentation with Acrobat Reader, xpdf, evince,...
  • Handouts with 2, 4 or 8 slides per page.

what you need

• A properly installed LaTeX system (e.g., teTeX or MiKTeX).
• For handouts you need ghostscript with psnup etc. (should be installed on most systems).
• The Slides Package: slides.tgz
