The AcroTeX eDucation Bundle (AeB)
Author: D. P. Story
Dated: 2021-10-03
AeB contains the following:
1) web Package: Extensive support for page design.
2) exerquiz Package: Support for creating online interactive exercises and
quizzes.
3) eforms Package: Extensive support for Acrobat forms and links
4) dljslib package: A package of JavaScript functions that extends the
capability of exerquiz.
5) taborder package: Supports the create of a tab order for form fields.
6) Documentation for AeB (AcroTeX eDucatation Bundle) and eforms
(including insdljs and dljslib).
What's New (2021-10-03)
exerquiz: In recent versions of AA/AR DC, the rollover display
for choice fields (radio fields and checkboxes) has changed. Previously
when the mouse rolls over a choice field, the tool tip is displayed. For
quizzes, the choice fields have no tool tip, so nothing was displayed.
Now, AA/AR DC displays `<tool-tip>: export-value>', which reveals
information not intended for the student taking that quiz. The exerquiz
package is modified to reflect this change. The rollover of radio buttons
and check boxes now displays as `Choice: a', `Choice: b', etc. The word
`Choice' is the tool tip and lower case letter is the export value. The
tool tip for all choice fields of a quizzes can be changed with
\TUChoice{<text>}, the default is \TUChoice{Choice}.
What's New (2021-06-19) Move files out of this distribution to the
acrotex-js package, dated 2021/06/19 or later. The folder JavaScript
file aeb.js (and aeb_pro.js) are now distributed with acrotex-js. Installation
instructions are now included with that package.
