Really? That is kind of cool. I haven't had any reason to use it with a projector yet so I didn't know that.

I wonder how many of the problems with PDFs are unique to PowerPoint-originated presentations (or those created by its open-source imitators). In math we never use PowerPoint or PowerPoint clones to make presentations, we produce them directly from LaTeX documents. I don't have an adapter so I can't test it on my own Edge but maybe someone else can download a Beamer/LaTeX-created PDF and see if it has the same problems.

And there is even a bigger problem: it is very difficult to go to the next slide. When touching the screen to scroll to the next slide or to position a slide correctly, it automatically zooms in uncontrollable and it is difficult to postion the new slide centered on the lcd screen.
That might be solved by attaching an external keyboard. Can you move to the next slide using the arrow keys as you do with a PDF or PowerPoint presentation on a computer?

The color issue for PDFs on the e-ink side is probably easily repairable too; the e-ink side's software must have color information (otherwise it wouldn't be able to send a color snapshot of a PDF to the LCD side). It's just a matter of getting it to send the color information to the projector app.
