I am doing a presentation using the DS PDF Viewer. I typed the presentation in LaTeX using beamer as the document class. I have all the notes on the right hand side, but when I open it with the DS PDF viewer, the audience see my notes as well. How do I hide the note side from the audience, leaving only the main presentation side for them to see? Please help...My presentation starts in a few hours. Thank you.

For Dual-Screen PDF Viewer it is necessary to set the projector to "extended mode", i.e., display a second, different desktop on the second screen. If you see the same output on both screens then the projector is set to "clone mode" or "mirror mode" where the second screen just shows a copy of the first screen.
The procedure to change the projector settings is different for each operating system (or different desktop environments for the same operating system).
