| Description | The use of JavaScript scripting 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 TeX called pdfTeX 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. |
