PDFCube generates PDF slideshows with unique 3D features, including a frequently used rotating cube and five established zoom animations.
PDFCube is a software that renders PDF presentations with special 3D effects. It adds eye-catching features to your PDF presentations, including Latex, Beamer, and Prosper ones. The project offers rotating cube and 5 predefined zoom animations.
You can easily get a 3D cube transition by pressing "c" or zoom on 5 areas with “h”, “j”, “k”, “l” and “z” keys. Additionally, switching pages comes with double buffering and full anti-alias, where no redrawing is visible. Suppose you wish to program your cube transitions in advance by giving the page you want the transition. In that case, you can use the command line to make it happen ( rudimental but will change soon).
Rotating cube transition is a great effect, especially when put on a big projection screen. However, you should be moderate with it. One or two cube transitions when changing arguments can help the audience understand that you are switching to a new part of the presentation. Still, if you decide to use a cube transition on every page, it may cause seasickness to your audience.
To use PDFCube, ensure you have an OpenGL DRI enabled Xorg. The GPL ATI 9250 driver is okay, and other cards have not been tested yet. You can count on this alpha software for its stability and usability, even though it is a quick hack.
PDFCube has some requirements, including Linux with Xorg, Poppler (>=0.5.4 recommended), GtkGlExt, and OpenGL (freeglut3-dev). In the most recent release, PDFCube adds autotools support.
