Interactive teaching materials in PDF using JavaScript
Petr Sojka · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 2003
The use of JavaScript language for adding interaction to portable teaching materials of a high typographical quality in PDF file format is described. An extended version of the program T E X called pdfT E X is extremely useful for such purposes. It is shown that applications similar to those done by CGI script on the web can be done in PDF, exploiting the embedded JavaScript engine implementation in PDF viewers.
