General ⇒ slide using prosper

[shamila08]

Dear all. Hello.
i'm try ti run this code as follows:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[pdf,rico,slideColor,colorBG]{prosper}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{slide}{The quest for $\pi$}
\begin{itemize}
\item The following formula computes $8$ correct digits per iteration
  (Ramanujan):
\end{itemize}
  \begin{small}
  \begin{equation*}
    \frac{1}{\pi}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(\frac{1}{4})_n(\frac{2}{4})_n(\frac{3}{4})_n}{n!^3}\bigl(2\sqrt{2}(1103+26390n)\bigr)\frac{1}{(99^2)^{2n+1}}
  \end{equation*}
  \end{small}
\end{slide}
\end{document}

However, there is an error

Code: Select all

("C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\latex\hyperref\hpdftex.def")
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \pdfmark 
                    {pdfmark=/PAGES, Raw={/Rotate 90}} 
l.142   }
         %

. how to fix it?

Before fixing this error, I recommend to use the powerdot class to create your presentation. It supersedes the obsolete prosper class (and the bug fixing HA-prosper package). Another good class for presentations is beamer.

Compiling your code with "LaTeX => PS => PDF" there occurs no error and the resulting output looks fine. Compiling directly to PDF ("LaTeX => PDF") is yielding errors, but not the same that you gave. Perhaps a matter of package versions. In every case you have to compile over DVI and PS to PDF.
