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. + + +D. P.
