Quickstart

To use this package load it in a document using beamer and select a layout:

Minimal example:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{handoutWithNotes}
\pgfpagesuselayout{3 on 1 with notes}
\begin{document}
…
\end{document}

Currently the following layouts are implemented by this package:

  • 1 on 1 with notes landscape
  • 2 on 1 with notes landscape
  • 1 on 1 with notes
  • 2 on 1 with notes
  • 3 on 1 with notes
  • 4 on 1 with notes

Additionally we support the following package options:

  • slide-frame=true/false draw a frame around the slides
  • note-frame=true/false draw a frame around the note pages
  • beamer-notes=true/false use beamer notepages instead of the area for handwritten notes
  • lines=<Number> modify the number of lines in the notesbox (default is 8)

Additionally the pgfpages options can be used. for more detailed information use the pdf documentation.
