Document Classes ⇒ help: compiling error \documentclass[pdf]{prosper}

[fyang]

Hi,

I have a presentation file that I change pdf to ps to print condensed version ie without breaks using \documentclass[pdf]{prosper}. I use winedt 8 and it used to work until I upgraded miktex 2.9 yesterday. Now it works fine using ps option. But If I use pdf option, it generates the following compiling error:

Code: Select all

LaTeX Warning: Reference `last@page' on page 1 undefined on input line 41.

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> ...lse def} if} ifelse} def \tx@InitOL 
                                                  /TheOL 0 def end
l.57 }
      
? 

Can someone help? Thanks a lot.

Hi Yang,

Welcome to the LaTeX community!

When I compile the following minimal working example (MWE)

Code: Select all

\documentclass[pdf]{prosper}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

with pdflatex I get different errors. But according to the manual pdflatex is not supported, anyway, so this was expected.

If I compile it with latex I get no errors whatsoever. Can you post a MWE that reproduces your error?

Regards

Did you ever find an answer to this?

If you need help using prosper, please prepare something we can test (MWE) and/or describe the problem in more detail.

Right now, all there is to say is: Prosper doesn't work with pdflatex.


An alternative to prosper (using with pdflatex, xelatex, lualatex) is beamer.
