I use the code below to produce handouts of my presentations.
When I open the resulting pdf with any pdf viewer, it is viewed correctly, but when I print it, it is always printed very small, no matter the program I use (Okular, Evince, Acrobat...). Bonus to anyone that can make the pdf be printed correctly by Okular under Ubuntu! Thanks!
MWE here:
\documentclass[handout]{beamer}
\usepackage{pgfpages}
\pgfpagesuselayout{2 on 1}[a4paper,border shrink=5mm]
\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=bottom}
\setbeamercolor{background canvas}{bg=pink}
\mode<presentation> {
\usetheme{Singapore}
}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[plain]
\titlepage
\note{
Notes for the title page
}
\end{frame}
\section*{Outline}
\begin{frame}[plain]
\frametitle{Outline}
\tableofcontents
\note{
Notes for the table of contents
}
\end{frame}
EDIT:
If I place the line "\pgfpagesuselayout{2 on 1}" after the line "\setbeameroption{show notes}" I do not experience the printing problem anymore!! However, the slide preview and notes that appear at the bottom belong to the NEXT SLIDE, instead of to the CURRENT SLIDE!! What is going on with that?
