I have a following minimal example for beamer (latex) presentation.
I need some handouts, very importantly, with my own notes, important things to say, just right hand side of the smaller slides. 2 or 3 slides with notes per each A4 page.
From a single document with some little changes, Is there some possible macros so that I can hide my notes for making regular slides, and tell pdflatex to make a beamer class presentation (very normal, landscape) and also a handdout class document (a4 portrait) with all what I have to say?
Pdflatex would then create a regular pdf with the slides, but also another pdf with the handouts. This is very much what can do all Powerpoint versions from Microsoft, since 1995 or even earlier.
I was thinking that it could be done with some usepackage pdfpages, to nup a sort of thumbnails, and then to add some minipage to bring the important messages. Well, this much too complicated.
Maybe you would find a better idea!
I need as fast as possible. If you have any possible idea, please let me know. This may very much help!
thank you in advance a lot!
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\title{Simple Beamer Class}
\author{Sascha Frank}
\date{\today}
\frame{\titlepage}
\frame{\frametitle{Table of contents}\tableofcontents}
\section{Section no.1}
\frame{\frametitle{Title}
Each frame should have a title.

\subsection{Subsection no.1.1 }
\frame{
Without title somethink is missing.
}
\end{document}

In the following example
\documentclass{beamer}
will create a regular presentation,\documentclass[handout]{beamer}
the handout version with notes and 2x2 per page.
