Document Classes ⇒ Inserting pages number

[gozzi84]

Hi all,

I'm using the Beamer class for writing my dissertation slides...


how can I do if I want to add the numbers of pages in my presentation?

Thanks in advance!

See Section 8.2 (Components of a Frame, p. 59ff) of the beamer documentation and/or search its index for "page number".


Best regards

The theme I have chosen has already a footer where it automatically puts my name and the title of my project...

If the theme doesn't support itself the page number (as for example the Boadilla theme does) can I add this feature fro example like this:

\setbeamertemplate{footline}
{
\insertframenumber
}



But this seems not to properly work. I wanted the page number at the right of the footline.

Thanks...

Hi,

see Beamer: frame number in split theme footline for an example how to put the frame number into the footline even if it's not supported by the chosen beamer theme.

The first method

\setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]

is not so good because it cancels the footline of the original theme

The second approach instead

\expandafter\def\expandafter\insertshorttitle\expandafter{%
\insertshorttitle\hfill%
\insertframenumber\,/\,\inserttotalframenumber}

is better but it give me a lot of errors, one at the end of each frame.



The error is the following:

Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted)

Is that possible?

Hi,

both approaches didn't raise errors in my documents. Other code of your document could be interferring. Perhaps show a minimal example of your code that produces this error.
