Document Classes ⇒ beamer | Page Number is truncated

[MKa]

Hello,

I tried to insert a page number in the footline of my beamer slides with

Code: Select all

\setbeamertemplate{footline}[page number]

But the bottom of the number is not on the slide any more so that it displays only half the number.
I use the default theme.

If anyone has an idea, please let me know.

Thanks,
MKa

Hi MKa,

welcome to the LaTeX Community board!
There was no answer until now, perhaps there were just not enough details for the reader to get an idea to help. But maybe you will read this thread again, at some time, that's why I'm writing now.

You said you are using the default theme. Maybe the split theme? I will give you an example for a possible workaround, modifying \insertshortauthor to display the frame number in its box too:

Code: Select all

\newcommand*\oldmacro{}
\let\oldmacro\insertshortauthor% save previous definition
\renewcommand*\insertshortauthor{%
  \leftskip=.3cm% before the author could be a plus1fill ...
  \insertframenumber\,/\,\inserttotalframenumber\hfill\oldmacro}

If you have questions concerning this or other issues, don't hesitate to ask, we'll try to help.

Hi Stefan,

thanx for your reply.
Sorry, I did not understand completely how I can use the modifications for \insertauthor to the footline.

I will give you some more information:

I select the theme with

Code: Select all

\usetheme{default}

I don't know exactly if that's the split theme.

After \begin{document} I insert the page numbers with

Code: Select all

\setbeamertemplate{footline}[page number]

as they suggested in the beameruserguide.

But the lower quarter of the numbers is not displayed on the page. It is cut because the page is to small or the footline too low.
By the way, the same thing happens if I insert text in the footline with e.g.

Code: Select all

\setbeamertemplate{footline}[text line]{hello}

.

So basically I am just searching for a way to raise everything what is displayed in the footline for approx 0.5cm.

Regards,
Moritz

Hi Moritz,

could you please show a minimal working example?
At the moment it's just too few information for me, I cannot reproduce this behaviour. Just a short but compilable LaTeX document with one frame showing that behaviour should be enough.

Stefan

[MKa]

Yes, of course.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usetheme{default}

\begin{document}
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}

\frame{
	Frame 1
}

\frame{
	Frame 2
}
\end{document}

You see, the '2' for example is slightly cut at the bottom.

Regards,
MKa

Hi,

Try your code with:

Code: Select all

\setbeamertemplate{footline}[page number]

but BEFORE \begin{document}

(For me it is working with or with out the theme : \usetheme{Hannover} )

I can confirm that your solution is working. Good advice!

Before \begin{document} is working so well, thanks!

Inserting \setbeamertemplate{footline}[page number] before \begin{document} works so well. thanks!
