Hi -

Today, for the first time, I saw someone use the Mac version of
Powerpoint, and it had a number of impressive features the most
striking of which was a current time, and a stopclock display. I
wonder if acrobat is able to do this in presentation mode? Or it there
is a plugin that can make this happen. If it matters, I generate
produce my sides with LaTeX.

Thanks,

- Olumide

You may have a look at the tdclock-package which features a ticking
clock and a stop clock. So you don=E2=80=99t need an Adobe feature. But o=
nly
Adobe Acrobat can show that (no other pdf-viewer I know) since it uses
JavaScript.

cheers

Thanks ... I'm impressed! (I asked my question half expecting so such
package to exist.)

I will look into the package, but do you know if the time display can
be made to appear on screen only and not on a projector? I'm
interested in using the stopclock to time presentations.
