Implementing Dynamic Cross Referencing and PDF with PreT E X
Paul A. Mailhot · 1999
This paper discusses how we can create dynamic and interactive online documents in Portable Document Format (PDF), using TEX. PDF documents are generally device and platform independent, therefore, ideally suited for online publishing and information exhange. We will need to work in three programming languages: macros in TEX, and definitions in PostScriptand PDF. We begin by describing the steps necessary to process PDF through TEXand PostScript, followed by several examples of defining TEX such macros. The examples are quite easy to follow, however, some knowledge of PostScript and PDF programming is useful.
