There is an option called \setbeameroption{show only notes}
\documentclass{beamer}
%\setbeameroption{show notes}
\setbeameroption{show only notes}
\begin{document}
\frame{\frametitle{FIRST}
On slide
\note{Whatever}
}
\end{document}
Compile, copy the pdf (another name!), comment out the second setbeameroption
as well and compile again.
Sure you could write a makefile (depending on your OS), but if you don“t need the two files after every run it is much easier (or less to code) this way.
For the writing process i recommend to work with the show notes
option on (remove %
).
Edit
Here comes a one compilation (one click) solution. It makes use of \write18
so pdflatex needs the --shell-escape
option.
\write18{./file.sh }
\documentclass{beamer}
\input{out.out}
\begin{document}
\frame{\frametitle{FIRST}
On slide one.
\note{Whatever you want}
}
\end{document}
While file.sh
is
#! /bin/bash
echo > out.out
pdflatex yourname
cp yourname.pdf nonotes.pdf
echo \\setbeameroption{show only notes} > out.out
this file must be executable with e.g. chmod 777 file.sh
an it must be in the same directory as the yourname.tex. This is of course bash so it will only work on unix-like systems.
Replace yourname
with the actual name of your tex-file.
What does it do? First pdflatex will call file.sh
which executes pdflatex then copies the resulting pdf into nonotes.pdf. Afterwards it fills out.out with the show only notes
option. write18
is finish and the parent pdflatex process will continue. But now that out.out is filled, the parent process will produce a pdf with that option on.
You may want to have a look at the handoutWithNotes
package.
\documentclass[handout]{beamer}
\usepackage{handoutWithNotes}
\pgfpagesuselayout{3 on 1 with notes}[a4paper,border shrink=5mm]
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
My first slide
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
Second one
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
Third
\end{frame}
\end{document}
Which gives you (with the Berlin
) theme:

You can find some examples here: http://www.guidodiepen.nl/2009/07/creating-latex-beamer-handouts-with-notes/
I didn't find this package on CTAN. So it won't be in your LaTeX distribution and you need to install it manually.

You can write everything you want between frame environment into a
note
command. With the option[itemize]
everything you write into the note will look like an itemize list.See here on write latex : https://www.writelatex.com/181070qqjrgq
