[1] Custom footer

Many themes have only limited space ( In this example - Boadilla) limited space for displaying the title, author, institute information... in the footer. So when they are displayed, the footer section cant hold whole information.

\documentclass{beamer}

\usetheme{Boadilla}

\title{Beamer - Introduction to \LaTeX presentation making}

\author{Jestin Joy}

\institute{College of Engineering Chengannur}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}

\titlepage

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Introduction}

Hello World.

\end{frame}

\end{document}

Beamer provides an option tag to replace with our own version of author, institute information so that it did not result in overlapping display

\documentclass{beamer}

\title[Latex Intro]{Beamer - Introduction to \LaTeX presentation making}

\author{Jestin Joy}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Introduction}

Hello World.

\end{frame}

\end{document}
