RE: Wipe direction in Acrobat

Theo,

http://www.planetpdf.com/planetpdf/pdfs/primer.pdf
suggests us to try the following:
-----------------------------------------------------
\documentclass[pdf]{prosper}
\renewcommand{\PDFtransition}[1]{%
  \hypersetup{pdfpagetransition={#1}}%
}
\DefaultTransition{Wipe /Di 0}
\begin{document}
\overlays{3}{
\begin{slide}{test}
\begin{itemstep}
\item Some long text to find out the\par direction of the transition.
\item Some long text to find out the\par direction of the transition.
\item Some long text to find out the\par direction of the transition.
\end{itemstep}
\end{slide}
}
\end{document}
-----------------------------------------------------

The /Di parameter gives the direction of the transition (in multiples of
90):
0   = left to right
90  = bottom to top
180 = right to left
270 = top to bottom
in Acrobat 6. I don't know how Acrobat 5 will interpret this though.

Be careful with specifying undefined transitions. GhostScript will just
write these commands to the pdf, but Acrobat will then not be able to
interpret them and might crash or just stop reading the file and display
partial content only. The best strategy: check the pdfmark reference
before setting a custom transition.

Best regards,
-Hendri.
PS: the redefinition of \PDFtransition of prosper is necessary to make
it ignore undefined custom transitions. Handle with care!
