Correct size and orientation of the slides is somewhat tricky.
 Depending on the use case, different settings and export routes work best:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize

\family sans
Seminar
\family default
 defaults to landscape orientation.
 Therefore, Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator
Page Layout\SpecialChar menuseparator
Orientation has no effect on the
 output.
 Instead, add the 
\family typewriter
portrait
\family default
 class option for portrait mode.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
The default settings work nice for landscape slides on screen with PDF (dvipdfm)
, PDF (pdflatex), and PDF (XeTeX).
 Do not mix LandscapeSlide and PortraitSlide, if you want to present on
 screen or with a video projector.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
LuaTeX scales the content by a factor 0.5 when generating PDF.
\end_layout

\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
With the option “trim margins” in the PDF viewer (e.g.
 Okular), this can be used as a workaround for mixed slides on screen.
\end_layout

\end_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
When printing on transparencies, LandscapeSlides and PortraitSlide can be
 mixed if the option 
\family typewriter
semrot
\family default
 is set and the export is done with PDF (dvipdfm).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Output formats DVI, DVI (LuaTeX), Postscript, and PDF (ps2pdf) require the
 option 
\family typewriter
