Dear PdfTeX team -- I do not know if this is a PdfTeX question, so please forgive me if it is not. I am generating two-column A5 pages using PdfLaTeX; is there any straightforward way to persuade PdfLaTeX to output two complete pages side by side on one A4 landscape page ? Philip TAYLOR

[pdftex-Patches][945] experimental support for tagged PDF

02 May '08

Patches item #945, was opened at 2008-04-27 10:19 Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Assigned to: Hans Hagen (hagen) Summary: experimental support for tagged PDF Resolution: None Group: v1.40.0 Category: Primitives Initial Comment: This is a patch to experiment with tagged PDF. The example passes PDF/A-1a check in Acrobat Pro 8. Most of the work is done manually at macro level; we want to provide only unavoidable low-level support and new primitives. This is in very alpha stage and is intended for those who are willing to experiment with tagged PDF: you need to know about tagged PDF at low level (chapter 10 from PDF specification), about the \pdfobj primitive of pdftex and some macro programing experience. Please don't try it yet if you want an out-of-the-box solution, since it's not clear yet if it is possible at all. - apply the patch: - unpack pdftex-1.40.4.tar.bz2 - cd /path/to/pdftex.1.40.4 - patch -p1 </path/to/tagged-pdf-1.diff - build pdftex & generate new format - run "pdflatex -shell-escape f.tex" to compile the test file ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Date: 2008-05-02 07:05 Message: forgot to include a file in the last zip -- fixed now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Date: 2008-05-01 19:58 Message: added another example, based on sample2e.tex. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Date: 2008-05-01 15:31 Message: added another example, based on small2e.tex ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Date: 2008-04-30 10:18 Message: added a little less trivial example f2.tex which closely mimics example 10.15 from pdf1.7 spec. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=495&aid=945&group_id=106
