Package: latex-beamer
Version: 3.01-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
LaTeX takes two runs to correctly generate cross-references and internal
links. Normally if the .aux file and the output aren't synchronized
there is a warning, which lets one use a Makefile section like
%.pdf : %.tex
$(PDFLATEX) $^
grep Rerun $*.log && $(PDFLATEX) $^ || echo "Only needed one run."
to typeset the file the appropriate number of times. However, in a
source file with only beamer's default set of internal links and no
explicit labels, no "Rerun" line is generated. This makes for a PDF
file where the navigation is all wonky.
A workaround is to put "\label{dummy}" near the end of the file, but
that only catches cases where the total number of slides changes.
I don't know that this is specifically a beamer problem, but it is
certainly triggered by whatever magic beamer uses to make the internal
links.
Thanks for maintaining the package!
Rob
