# Beamer with SyncTeX

Beamer is a LaTeX class for creating slides for presentations.

You can perform forward and backward search in a Beamer-LaTeX presentation in a similar fashion to searching through other TeX files compiled with SyncTeX. However the search brings you to the corresponding frame (slide), not necessarily the associated line of text. This difference is outlined in detail below.

# Forward search: from Beamer-LaTeX source to PDF (pluma to Atril)

With forward search, you can click on a specific line of Beamer-LaTeX source code. The top of the corresponding slide in the PDF will be outlined in red. This will often be the frametitle.

# Backward search: from PDF to Beamer-LaTeX source (from Atril to pluma)

With backward search, you click on some text in a frame, and the corresponding line of LaTex code that ends that particular frame is highlighted. This will usually be the line:

\end{frame}

corresponding to the frame you clicked on.
