DESCRIPTION

adds spinning cube transition effect to your PDF presentation files. It can also zoom on 5
predefined areas with a smooth zooming effect. This program is suited only for landscape
PDF files, mostly presentations done with LaTeX (Beamer, Prosper, etc.) or OpenOffice.org
Impress.

If FILE is not given a file-open dialog box is shown to the user.
