Description: With this small script you can use Okular for one-document-slideshows. Okular will automatically go to the next page after a user-defined delay. But you can also pause the slideshow (using enter or space) or move to next/previous page manually using the arrow-keys. Press q or x to quit the slide-show or simply close the window. To start the slideshow, execute: > OkularSlideShow.rb document delayInSeconds
The script is written in Ruby, you will need Ruby and the KDE4-binding.
You can also use it for reading eBooks or for watching presentations. It doesn't yet support multiple files. You need one file with several pages.
This application was an idea by tvpaker at KDE-Brainstorm.Last changelog:
I've now developed an Okular-patch. In presentation-mode you can specify the delay (using QSpinBox) and you have a pause-button. (alternatively press 'p' or 'enter')

Or try the attachment.
I hope it will be applied to Okular.
It's not yet integrated. I don't have a SVN-account yet, so I have to wait for another developer.

This works, if the pages fit into the window. Only about 60% of a DIN A4 are visible on my computer, so I always see only the top 2/3 of every page.
It should first set "fit page".
I'll take a look at the code later.

#!/bin/sh
FILE=`kdialog --title "Select file" --getopenfilename $HOME/MYDocs *.pdf`
if [ $FILE = "" ]
then
exit
return 1
fi
SEC=`kdialog --inputbox 'Duration in sec' 5`
exec OkularSlideShow.rb $FILE $SEC
Save as okularslide.sh, optional set your initial path ($HOME/MyDocs) and a filter (*.pdf), make a menuentry and you're done
