![]() ![]() If you don't have a TeX installationm there are clear instructions on Richard Koch's TeXShop page (linked above). This sort of capability has previously required a separate application (such as "LaTeX Equation Editor"). Keynote presentations also accept dragged PDF documents. PowerPoint presentations containing equations are incredibly easy to manage, and of course the output that TeX/TeXShop produces is vastly superior to that from, for instance, equation editor. As true PDF files the resulting insertions are resizeable without a loss of clarity. This is incredibly useful if you're adding equations to a diagram: just typeset all of the equations using LaTeX (for example) in a single document, and drag and drop the individual portions whereever they're required. (Drag and drop to the desktop produces a PDF file called "texshop_image.PDF".) Even easier, you can drag across a section of the PDF file using the selection tool in TeXShop and then drag-and-drop that section into a document from another application. TeXShop will open any PDF file dropped on its icon, and you can copy and paste any rectangular section of a PDF file into, for example, OmniGraffle, Keynote or PowerPoint. ![]() Using TeX and LaTeX to write technical documents is undoubtedly familiar to lots of readers, but what might not be so obvious is the fact that a TeX engine in concert with the latest version of TeXShop makes for an immensely useful PDF manipulation package. ![]()
