This plug-in enhances PDF slide display, optimizing it for better viewing experience.
As a software review, Better Slides is a one-of-a-kind plug-in that is absolutely free and open source for Mac users running on OS X's Preview application. This plug-in is created for individuals who frequently work with PDFs and find it problematic to view slide presentations seamlessly. With Preview's supported single style of display for PDFs, users may have their preferences set to display documents in single-page continuous mode. However, this display mode is not suitable when viewing slideshows.
Better Slides comes to the rescue and takes the reins in ensuring that the slide presentations are displayed flawlessly. It analyzes the width-to-height ratio of the document and switches the display mode to non-continuous, single-page, hide page breaks, and resizes the window to fit the document exactly if the ratio matches a standard screen size such as 4:3 or 16:9.
Moreover, Better Slides checks if the width-to-height ratio of the first page of a PDF matches a ratio set in the Better Slides preferences file. Users can edit the file and change the ratios recognized as presentations as they wish, which is located at ~/Library/Preferences/org.playhaus.BetterSlides.plist. The file appears only after Better Slides is installed and Preview has been opened and quit once.
The installation process is straightforward. All users need to do is place the Better Slides.bundle in ~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/. In conclusion, Better Slides plug-in is an essential tool for users working with slide presentations on Preview, ensuring they achieve the perfect display mode to deliver their presentations flawlessly.
