forget if you can set this when making the pdf, but it opened up really tiny on my computer.

what's with the very light gray text on some slides?

looks nice though. every time I see a presentation made with latex I think it looks nice.

for a presentation I did yesterday I got a template for oo.org Impress and exported it to a pdf. I love pdfs.

pdf-style transitions/overlays.

I can zoom in, but I remember seeing a setting in OpenOffice where you could adjust what size a PDF is when you open it up, regardless of what program someone uses to open it.

and this is what I meant by grayish text: http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/273/picture2jy5.jpg
