For a presentation a speaker sometimes wants a two window
presentation mode, where one window with the full screen view is on
the external monitor/projector, and on the laptop there is a second
“monitor window”, where the speaker also sees the current slide –
which could be achieved by mirroring the screens – but also shows the
preview of the previous and next slide. Normally, displaying comments
for slides would also be shown, but I believe that is not possible
with PDF presentation. Additionally, the speaker sees the elapsed
time, and both windows are synchronized.
1. Is there a established name for this mode?
2. I couldn’t find a bug report/feature request. Do you know of one?
3. Is there a reason, Evince shouldn’t implement such a mode besides
missing resources?
4. Are there alternative ways to achieve this for PDF presentation.
For HTML is for example possible with Pandoc exporting to HTML,
where the windows are controlled with JavaScript, for example
remark [1].
Only today, reading the German magazin LinuxUser [2], I learned about pdfpc [3]. If the Evince project decided, that a multi-monitor presentation mode is outside the scope of Evince, then pdfpc should be listed for that purpose. Kind regards, Paul
