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

Post by 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.

[1]
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> ...lse def} if} ifelse} def \tx@InitOL 
                                                  /TheOL 0 def end
l.57 }
      
? 
Can someone help? Thanks a lot.

Yang

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi Yang,

Welcome to the LaTeX community!

When I compile the following Infominimal 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?

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.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
