Hi
I have been trying to help out a colleague that is using powerdot on
windows (using miktex 2.7) and he is experiencing two vexing problems,
that I have not been able to fully solve. As I work on a mac with
texlive, I am not very familiar with his setup, so there may be
obvious things that I do not realize.
1 - the output pdf file is in portrait format, rather than landscape
(this, or something similar, used to happen when texlive 2008 came
out, and was solved by replacing config.ps; is this also a problem for
miktex?)
2 - the current version of movie15 causes an error and appears to be
incompatible with powerdot (a problem that happened some 3 years ago,
and as I recall the author was very helpful and got it sorted out very
quickly at the time).
This one I was able to circumvent by placing the texlive included
version of movie15.sty in the same folder as the document to typeset.
I realize this one is not a powerdot problem per se, but I don't
know how to contact the author of movie15, and maybe he still follows
this list or someone knows how to reach him for help.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
