PDF Lecture

PDF Lecture is so far the most intuitive app I have found to present PDF slide sets using an iPad. The user interface and set of offered functions is well thought through. The only drawback I have found so far in the app is that the laser pointer becomes too big when presenting PDF slides generated using LaTeX Beamer. Of course, there’s some room for improvement. The URL to the app‘s web site is not working. An option to switch to a presentation cockpit, which would also display the next slide and notes for the current slide, could be useful. If that cockpit would take into account how LaTeX Beamer renders slides + notes to PDF that would be a plus. It would be also great if the app would support Bluetooth presenter remotes with virtual laser pointer.
