OK, when we are it: I'm working on slide presentation in PDF and would like
to show some screenshots in full screen mode. How can I insert them? I will
present my slides on 1024x768 data projector, screenshot (e.g. small xterm)
itself is taken via import from ImageMagick. PDF document starts with:

\pdfpageheight=210mm
\pdfpagewidth=297mm 

(this can be changed) and is presented with /PageMode equal to
/FullScreen. Xterm itself (any screenshot) is rasterred badly and sometimes
you do not know, what it should show... Is there any way to solve this
without reimplementing acroread or taking a two day vacation for trying
possible values for width and height? ;-)

Please CC: me when answering.

This doesn't mean you should mix false(1) and true(1) editors.
