In this thread, Gonzalo Medina proposed the following solution for making an article look like a notebook with binder:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[contents={}]{background}
\usepackage{tikzpagenodes}
\usetikzlibrary{shadows,calc}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\def\ShadowXshift{0.5ex} \def\ShadowYshift{-0.5ex}

\makeatletter \define@key{educnotebook}{spiralnumber}{\def\SpiralNumber{#1}} \define@key{educnotebook}{nbcolorbg}{\def\NbColorBg{#1}} \define@key{educnotebook}{minorgridcolor}{\def\MinorGridColor{#1}} \define@key{educnotebook}{majorgridcolor}{\def\MajorGridColor{#1}} \define@boolkey{educnotebook}{majorgrid}[false]{ \ifKV@educnotebook@majorgrid \def\DrawMajorGrid{ \path[clip,rounded corners=10pt] ([xshift=-30pt,yshift=20pt]current page text area.north west) rectangle ([xshift=30pt,yshift=-20pt]current page text area.south east); \draw[\MajorGridColor,opacity=0.3] ([xshift=30pt,yshift=-20pt]current page text area.south east) grid[step=10mm] ([xshift=-30pt,yshift=20pt]current page text area.north west); } \else \def\DrawMajorGrid{\relax} \fi } \define@boolkey{educnotebook}{minorgrid}[false]{ \ifKV@educnotebook@minorgrid \def\DrawMinorGrid{ \path[clip,rounded corners=10pt] ([xshift=-30pt,yshift=20pt]current page text area.north west) rectangle ([xshift=30pt,yshift=-20pt]current page text area.south east); \draw[\MinorGridColor,opacity=0.3] ([xshift=30pt,yshift=-20pt]current page text area.south east) grid[step=1mm] ([xshift=-30pt,yshift=20pt]current page text area.north west); } \else \def\DrawMinorGrid{\relax} \fi } \define@choicekey+{educnotebook}{spiralposition}[\val\nr]{left,right,top}[left]{% \ifcase\nr\relax \def\SpiralPosition{ ([xshift=9pt,yshift=3pt-\Valor\textheight/(\SpiralNumber-1)]current page text area.north west) } \def\RotateAngle{0} \or \def\SpiralPosition{ ([xshift=-9pt,yshift=-5pt-\Valor\textheight/(\SpiralNumber-1)]current page text area.north east) } \def\RotateAngle{180} \def\ShadowXshift{-0.5ex} \def\ShadowYshift{-0.5ex} \or \def\SpiralPosition{ ([yshift=-19pt,xshift=5pt+\Valor*\textwidth/(\SpiralNumber-1)]current page text area.north west) } \def\RotateAngle{270} \fi }{}

\setkeys{educnotebook}{ nbcolorbg=white, minorgrid=false, majorgrid=false, minorgridcolor=black!20, majorgridcolor=black!60, spiralposition=left, spiralnumber=15 } \def\RotateAngle{0} \def\ShadowXshift{0.5ex} \def\ShadowYshift{-0.5ex}

\makeatother

\tikzset{ spiral/.pic={ \draw[rotate=\RotateAngle, draw=black, left color=black!70, right color=black!60, middle color=gray!40 ] (-1.1,-0.35) rectangle ++(10pt,10pt); \draw[ rotate=\RotateAngle, double=gray!80, double distance=1pt, ] (-1,-0.2) arc (40:-250:10pt and 2pt); \draw[ rotate=\RotateAngle, double=gray!80, double distance=1pt, ] (-1,-0.05) arc (40:-250:10pt and 2pt); } }

\newcommand\EducNotebook[1][]{% \begingroup \AddEverypageHook{% \setkeys{educnotebook}{#1}% \backgroundsetup{ scale=1, opacity=1, color=black, angle=0, contents={ \tikz[remember picture,overlay] { \draw[rounded corners=10pt,fill=\NbColorBg,drop shadow={shadow xshift=\ShadowXshift, shadow yshift=\ShadowYshift}] ([xshift=-30pt,yshift=20pt]current page text area.north west) rectangle ([xshift=30pt,yshift=-20pt]current page text area.south east); \foreach \Valor in {0,1,...,\numexpr\SpiralNumber-1\relax} \pic at \SpiralPosition {spiral}; \DrawMajorGrid \DrawMinorGrid }
} } \BgMaterial } \endgroup }

\EducNotebook

\begin{document} \lipsum[1-4] \end{document}

How could I accurately transfer this template to beamer, so that the text in each frame is surrouned by the same rounded rectangle note page with binder shown here?

Step 1

Create a background image using the answer you found:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[contents={}]{background}
\usepackage{tikzpagenodes}
\usetikzlibrary{shadows,calc}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\def\ShadowXshift{0.5ex} \def\ShadowYshift{-0.5ex}

\makeatletter \define@key{educnotebook}{spiralnumber}{\def\SpiralNumber{#1}} \define@key{educnotebook}{nbcolorbg}{\def\NbColorBg{#1}} \define@key{educnotebook}{minorgridcolor}{\def\MinorGridColor{#1}} \define@key{educnotebook}{majorgridcolor}{\def\MajorGridColor{#1}} \define@boolkey{educnotebook}{majorgrid}[false]{ \ifKV@educnotebook@majorgrid \def\DrawMajorGrid{ \path[clip,rounded corners=10pt] ([xshift=-30pt,yshift=20pt]current page text area.north west) rectangle ([xshift=30pt,yshift=-20pt]current page text area.south east); \draw[\MajorGridColor,opacity=0.3] ([xshift=30pt,yshift=-20pt]current page text area.south east) grid[step=10mm] ([xshift=-30pt,yshift=20pt]current page text area.north west); } \else \def\DrawMajorGrid{\relax} \fi } \define@boolkey{educnotebook}{minorgrid}[false]{ \ifKV@educnotebook@minorgrid \def\DrawMinorGrid{ \path[clip,rounded corners=10pt] ([xshift=-30pt,yshift=20pt]current page text area.north west) rectangle ([xshift=30pt,yshift=-20pt]current page text area.south east); \draw[\MinorGridColor,opacity=0.3] ([xshift=30pt,yshift=-20pt]current page text area.south east) grid[step=1mm] ([xshift=-30pt,yshift=20pt]current page text area.north west); } \else \def\DrawMinorGrid{\relax} \fi } \define@choicekey+{educnotebook}{spiralposition}[\val\nr]{left,right,top}[left]{% \ifcase\nr\relax \def\SpiralPosition{ ([xshift=9pt,yshift=3pt-\Valor\textheight/(\SpiralNumber-1)]current page text area.north west) } \def\RotateAngle{0} \or \def\SpiralPosition{ ([xshift=-9pt,yshift=-5pt-\Valor\textheight/(\SpiralNumber-1)]current page text area.north east) } \def\RotateAngle{180} \def\ShadowXshift{-0.5ex} \def\ShadowYshift{-0.5ex} \or \def\SpiralPosition{ ([yshift=-19pt,xshift=5pt+\Valor*\textwidth/(\SpiralNumber-1)]current page text area.north west) } \def\RotateAngle{270} \fi }{}

\setkeys{educnotebook}{ nbcolorbg=white, minorgrid=false, majorgrid=false, minorgridcolor=black!20, majorgridcolor=black!60, spiralposition=left, spiralnumber=15 } \def\RotateAngle{0} \def\ShadowXshift{0.5ex} \def\ShadowYshift{-0.5ex}

\makeatother

\tikzset{ spiral/.pic={ \draw[rotate=\RotateAngle, draw=black, left color=black!70, right color=black!60, middle color=gray!40 ] (-1.1,-0.35) rectangle ++(10pt,10pt); \draw[ rotate=\RotateAngle, double=gray!80, double distance=1pt, ] (-1,-0.2) arc (40:-250:10pt and 2pt); \draw[ rotate=\RotateAngle, double=gray!80, double distance=1pt, ] (-1,-0.05) arc (40:-250:10pt and 2pt); } }

\newcommand\EducNotebook[1][]{% \begingroup \AddEverypageHook{% \setkeys{educnotebook}{#1}% \backgroundsetup{ scale=1, opacity=1, color=black, angle=0, contents={ \tikz[remember picture,overlay] { \draw[rounded corners=10pt,fill=\NbColorBg,drop shadow={shadow xshift=\ShadowXshift, shadow yshift=\ShadowYshift}] ([xshift=-30pt,yshift=20pt]current page text area.north west) rectangle ([xshift=30pt,yshift=-20pt]current page text area.south east); \foreach \Valor in {0,1,...,\numexpr\SpiralNumber-1\relax} \pic at \SpiralPosition {spiral}; \DrawMajorGrid \DrawMinorGrid }
} } \BgMaterial } \endgroup }

\EducNotebook \pagestyle{empty}

\usepackage[landscape,hmargin=2cm,vmargin=1.7cm]{geometry}

\begin{document} ~ \end{document}

Step 2

Use the resulting image as background for your beamer presentation:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\setbeamertemplate{background canvas}{ \includegraphics[width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]{document2} }

\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{} \setbeamertemplate{headline}{\vskip0.4cm} \setbeamertemplate{footline}{\vskip0.4cm}

\begin{document} \begin{frame} \lipsum[2] \end{frame} \end{document}
