+The pmdb Package
+Author: D. P. Story
+Dated: 2019-12-09
+
+This "poor man's database" (pmdb) package promotes a workflow
+for building exams, homework, and other content. The package
+supports the creation of a PDF document, which is a database of
+problems (or content) to be included in a target document. The
+package inserts checkboxes into the margins of the DB document;
+the instructor can select which which of the problems are to be
+included in the target document by checking one ore more of the
+checkboxes. By clicking the special \displayChoices control, the
+selected content is copied into the AR/AA console window in the
+form of \input statements (\input{prob1.tex}, eg), which is then
+be copied and pasted into the target document. By pressing
+Ctrl+Click while hovering over a checkbox, the associated
+content is loaded into the default application, possibly a LaTeX
+editor. For the Ctrl+Click feature to work, the file
+aeb-reader.js needs to be installed. As the filename suggests,
+this file will work for Adobe Acrobat Reader (DC), as well as
+for the magnificent Adobe Acrobat itself.
+
+Enjoy!
+
+Now, I must get back to my retirement.
