Dear <your name>

    Yesterday I replied this message that you should use pdfslide package
for transition. However, today I got the nerve of the problem. So, I am
rereplying the same post.

    The root of the problem lies with the viewer!! Yes believe me. After
replying this message, when I opened one of my own slide shows, the
transition did not work! Well, it was the same show that showed many
transition effects earlier and now it had stopped!!!

    I followed my doubt that perhaps there was something wrong in the PDF
options. And I opened one PDF regular file. I saw that the continuous page
option in view was ticked. I changed it to single page. And ? Yes my slide
show reclaimed its transition scheme back!!

So, it depends on the settings of PDF viewer (Acrobat). Press during the
show Ctrl+K and an option box will popup. Set the pages to single and it
will do.

Now this opens up
the new dimension. Can we set the options of PDF Viewer from within the tex
file through a code? Say we are already handling the "AcrobatMenu" command.
So, this must be possible too. Is anybody aware of all "AcrobatMenu"s?


My answers to other items in the mail of Fr, are still same.

Love and thanks in advance.
