IPE is a vector graphics editor integrated with pdflatex, with strong support for creating multi-page incerementally built pdf presentations. It uses pdflatex to typeset text elements and math formulas on the page. It is especially useful if your presentation has a lot of graphics or if you desire a complete control over the location of your text elements on the page.
