General ⇒ Errors with Beamer not understandable

[anselm]

Hello all
I had a stupid misunderstanding with Beamer last time which was fixed thanks to your generosity. To test my package, I run an example quickbeamer1.tex from More Math into LaTeX that I have attached plus the log file of the compilation. These are the errors highlighted:

It should mentioned that an output pdf file is produced but I'd like to get rid of the erros. I'm using TexMakerX for this post but I have these erros on the other editors as well.

I think it would help if you created a proper minimal working example and tried to break things up so we could deal with one issue at a time.

Some of the issues are relatively obvious, however, and can be dealt with.

Code: Select all

.Package hyperref Warning: Option `pdfauthor' has already been used,
(hyperref) setting the option has no effect on input line 9.
.LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OT1/cmss/m/n' in size <4> not available
(Font) size <5> substituted on input line 17.

This is a result of putting \author, \title, \institute, etc., after \begin{document} as opposed to before, where they belong. Move all that stuff up.

Code: Select all

These are all the result of trying to use math mode in a section title. The problem is that since beamer loads hyperref, hyperref is trying to place these special characters in the pdf bookmarks which are used as a kind of table of contents which can be shown in the left panel of many PDF readers. But these do not allow special characters or math mode. The proper way to handle this, as described in the hyperref manual, is to use \texorpdfstring to put in a substitute in the pdf bookmarks. E.g.:

\section{The \texorpdfstring{$\Pi^{*}$}{Pi*} construction}

This will put "Π*" in the document but "Pi*" in the bookmarks.

Overfull \hbox (18.96771pt too wide) detected at line 119

This one is pretty obvious; the equation is too wide and spills over the page. I'd use something like a split, multline or gather environment from amsmath to split the equation into multiple lines.

There are a few of these; I wouldn't worry about them if you can't tell that anything is wrong.

This is aproblem with the current hyperref package, which os load by
beamer. An update is on the way to CTAN.
