See also sample.tex for a basic presentation.

Notes

If you use pdf-presenter-console, a presenter console with multi-monitor support for PDF files, try \usepackage{beamernotes} and enter your notes as in

\bnote{my notes}

after the frame you want to annotate.

The contents will generate a filename.pdfpc file containing all notes to be shown by pdfpc.

Enjoy.
