Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use beamer for a maths presentation. So I downloaded a template, but I just couldn't get it compiled for some reason. There appears 1 warnings:

1) Package pgf warning: This package is obsolete and no longer needed on input line 13.

Everything seems to work fine, except that it couldn't produce a pdf output file.


This is the template. Please check if it works on yours... Thanks a lot!

\documentclass[beamer]{beamer}
\usepackage{graphics}

\usetheme{Boadilla} % Beamer has many themes available, as described in the main text

\title{An Unconvincing Presentation}
\author{Iain, but mutilated by Jenny}
\date{November 25, 2008} % This data is inserted by Beamer into places on the
% slides dictated by the choice of theme

\begin{document}
\begin{frame} % exactly comparable to the 'slide' command in Seminar
\titlepage % This is a standard LaTeX command, useful in many types of document
\end{frame}

\section{A Section} % Sectioning and subsectioning data, again, is displayed by
% Beamer in places appropriate to the theme
\subsection{A Subsection}
\begin{frame}{A slide Title}

Some things in a slide

\end{frame}

\subsection{Another Subsection}

\begin{frame}{Another slide}

Slide contents

\end{frame}

\section{A second section}
\subsection{A further subsection}
\begin{frame}{Yet another slide}

Some information

\end{frame}

\section{Questions}
\begin{frame}{Questions}

Do you have any, or can we go to the pub?

\end{frame}
\end{document}
