I'd like to print handout slides with handoutWithNotes package associated with beamer, but a simple try 

\documentclass[handout]{beamer}
\usepackage{pgfpages}
\usepackage{handoutWithNotes}
\pgfpagesuselayout{2 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}

returned me always the error message such as 

! Undefined control sequence.
\@begindocumenthook ...ox { \vskip .05\pageheight
                                                  Notes\vskip .1\pageheight ...
l.8 \begin{document}

Apparently it comes with \pgfpagesuselayout{2 on 1 with notes}[a4paper,border shrink=5mm] "with notes" argument.

I run the file either with MiKTeX 2.8 or 2.9, either under Windows XP or Windows 10.

  • The package handoutWithNotes would appear to be somewhat uncommon. Is it available online? If so, where?

  • I get the same error as the post owner! @UlrikeFischer, you have to copy the package into your project folder or install it with MikTeX before you can use it

  • @Mico guidodiepen.nl/2009/07/… that's where the package is from

What fixed it for me was replacing \pageheight with \paperheight everywhere in handoutWithNotes.sty. See also https://github.com/gdiepen/latexbeamer-handoutWithNotes/pull/5.
