Abstract: Making presentations or on-line documents that involve heavy mathmatics and graphics is a non-trivial job using the commonly available software packages. However, we can make use of pdfTEX, a variant of TEX that will directly write to a cross platform format, namely PDF, owing to its remarkable math handling and typesetting abilities. In this article, we describe the generations of presentation and on-line documents using the pdfscreen.sty package. As a corollary, we also examine its ability to include pstricks code in a pdfTEX document (which is not normally possible). A few examples of technical presentations in Malayalam, a language spoken by 30 million people in the southern state of Kerala, India, is also given, in order to demonstrate the versatility of PDFscreen in handling Indic scripts.
