+ <p>
+ <b>Frequently asked questions concerning PPower4</b>
+ </p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>Q:</strong> Do I need a full Java implementation to
+ run PPower4?<br>
+ <strong>A:</strong> No, it is sufficient for running PPower4,
+ to install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and then call
+ <code>jre</code> instead of <code>java</code>
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>Q:</strong> I would like to find the whole set of
+ options for <code>pdfpagetransition</code>.
+ <br>
+ <strong>A:</strong> This is a matter of the transition effect
+ for PDF files, described in section 6.4.1.4 of the
+ <a
+ href="http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/acrosdk/docs.html#filefmtspecs">PDF reference manual</a> by Adobe.<br>
+ <a href="mailto:dongen@cs.ucc.ie">Marc van Dongen</a> has kindly
+ prepared some additional <a href="pagetrans.tex">commands</a>
+ to access the effects and agreed to publish these. Thanks!<br>
+ For transition effects between partial builds of a page refer
+ to <a href="extension.pdf">the extensions demo</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>Q:</strong> Can I use thumbnails with PPower4?<br>
+ <strong>A:</strong> Together with the development of our new
+ PDF processing library we have created a <a
+ href="pdfthumb">program</a> to add
+ thumbnails to PDF files. It needs to run GhostScript as a
+ subprocess. This is still only available for Unix
+ users.
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>Q:</strong> If I run LaTeX on my document and your
+ examples I get an error about an undefined control
+ sequence <code>\pauselevel</code>.<br>
+ <strong>A:</strong> Make sure that there is no outdated
+ version of <code>pause.sty</code> in your installation
+ (probably from the <code>pdfslide</code> package).
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>Q:</strong> Is there a list of planned enhancements?
+ <br>
+ <strong>A:</strong>
+ No, all current developments are released now.
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>Q:</strong> Is there an archive of the mailing list?<br>
+ <strong>A:</strong> Yes, you find it (while supplies last;-)
+ <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/ppower4%40iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/">here</a>,
+ hosted by <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/">mail-archive.com</a>.
+ Archiving was started on December 7, 1999. Earlier messages
+ are recorded only as far as they made it into my personal log.
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>Q:</strong> You have used the <code>foils.sty</code>
+ in your documents. I can find such a file neither in my TeX
+ distribution nor on CTAN. Where do I get this file?
+ <br>
+ <strong>A:</strong> <code>foils.sty</code> is created from
+ <code>foiltex.dtx</code>, which can be found on CTAN. Watch out
+ for the copyright. It is in the nonfree tree.<br>
+ It is not necessary to have <code>foils.sty</code> for running
+ PPower4. Just some examples refer to this style.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <b>Problems and possible solutions</b>
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>Q:</strong> When I look at the demo, the reader
+ comes up in full screen mode and then freezes...return and page
+ down do not work.
+ <br>
+ <strong>A:</strong> Make sure that the reader application has
+ the keyboard input focus. Maybe you have to download the demo
+ files to local disk, then start the reader and select the demo
+ document from the "File" menu.
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>Q:</strong> I tried to compile <code>exm2.tex</code> but the
+ background is still white.
+ <br>
+ <strong>A:</strong> To have background colors you must run
+ the post processor first and then view the resulting output pdf.
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>Q:</strong> I tried to use gradient background, but
+ my initial monochrome background is still there.
+ <br>
+ <strong>A:</strong> To have gradient colors you must run
+ the post processor and then view the resulting output
+ pdf. <br>But beware: if you use the pagecolor macro from
+ pdftex.def, the post processor does not remove that and it
+ sticks to the page covering any post processor added backgrounds.
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>Q:</strong> When I typeset fractions, the bar is
+ written in a different color.<br>
+ <strong>A:</strong> This problem is independent of PPower4.
+ It seems to be resolved in versions 4.05 of Acrobat Reader.
+ Time to update your version?
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>Q:</strong> I get this message error when trying to
+ execute <code>ppower4.bat</code>:<br><code>
+C:\xxx>C:\xxx\jdk1.2.2\jre\bin\java.exe&nbsp;-jar&nbsp;C:\xxx\pp4p.jar<br>
+count&nbsp;=&nbsp;0,&nbsp;total&nbsp;=&nbsp;76<br>
+Exception&nbsp;in&nbsp;thread&nbsp;"main"&nbsp;java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: de/tu_darmstadt/sp/pp4/PPower4</code><br>
+ <strong>A:</strong> Most probably the file
+ <code>pp4p.jar</code> was damaged during download. Check the
+ file size, because most damages will lead to different
+ lengths.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
