The AcroTeX eDucation Bundle 
Author: D. P. Story 
Dated: 2021-01-20

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 (2021-01-20) Defined two commands \doNotRandomizeChoices
  and \allowRandomizedChoices; these turn off and turn on the randomization
  of choices in MC and MS questions.

What's New (2020-12-30) 
  exerquiz: Minor bug fixes; converted some inline JS to JS in 
    the defineJS env. 
  eforms: New keys for option list of form macros: \rectW, \rectH,
    \width, \height, \scalefactor. Also introduced are \textFontDefault,
    \textSizeDefault, and \btnSpcr. All form fields and link annotations
    now obey \pdfSpacesOn (and \pdfSpacesOff).
  insdljs: Added \Thread and \Launch actions; \dfnJSCR and \dfnJSCRDef.
    New options of defineJS: \makecmt and \typeset. Improved the defineJS
    environment. Refer to http://www.acrotex.net/blog/?p=1442
    for a full discussion of the defineJS and all its features.
    
What's New (2020-11-20) Fixed minor, yet critical, bug converning duplicate
definition of \URI.

What's New (2020-11-11) Added new command \SpellCheck, to check the spelling 
of a fill-in question (exerquiz). Added width, height, scalefactor keys to 
form fields to rescale fields (eforms). 

What's New (2020-03-14) Minor changes that support new features of eqexam.

What's New (2020-01-01) Replace use of \count0 with new counter \eqtmpcnta, 
in situation, the value of \count0 was leaking out giving incorrect page 
numbers. 

What's New (2019-12-17) Defined \InputExrSolnsLevel and \InputQzSolnsLevel to
make it easy to change the section-type for the solution pages.

What's New (2019-08-13) Use \protect when formatting a enhanced preview value.
Other minor changes and bug fixes.

What's New (2019-05-24) Added the enhanced preview feature. When in effect 
along with ordinary preview, captions of buttons and initial values of other 
fields are viewable in non-conforming PDF readers. 

What's New (2019/03/16) minor bug fixes; added \bParams/\eParams command pair 
to pass arguments to JS code snippets declared within the defineJS 
environment. Fixed the spacing problem when dvips is used to compile a doc 
containing the defineJS environment. 

What's New (2018/12/13) More changes in exerquiz to support mi-solns; misc. bug fixes.

What's New (2028/12/05) Some changes in exerquiz to support mi-solns. Require aeb-comment
(version 3.2 of comment.sty). The newer versions of comment.sty are incompatible with
eqexam (which is supported by exerquiz) and introduces spurious spaces.

What's New (2018/11/27) Some changes to eforms package to support the new icon-appr
package.

What's New (2018/08/16) Changes to eforms and insdljs: several keys (eforms) added to
support aeb_mlink and annot_pro; switch add to insdljs to detect whether document JS
has been included.

What's New (2018/03/22) Changes in eforms to support features of aeb_mlink. Minor bug fixes

What's New (2018/02/13) Added commands to optionally group each solution when the appear
at the end of the file; this applies both exercises and quizzes.

What's New (2017/09/06) Suggested new problem type: "Correcting a math problem", see
http://www.acrotex.net/blog/?p=1335 for a demo. Better compatibility with luatex. Minor
bug fixes.

What's New (2017-08-08) Support for multi-letter variables, alternate appearances,
and interval repetition. The demo file for these features is
http://www.acrotex.net/blog/?p=1330

I maintain a web site featuring TeX/LaTeX/PDF stuff called
AcroTeX (www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/acrotex.html).  There you
will find the home web page of the AcroTeX eDucation Bundle.
(www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/webeq.html).

Examples for AeB have been moved to
http://www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/webeq_ex.html, another copy
of the examples are at
http://www.acrotex.net/blog/?cat=89

Additional examples are posted on the AcroTeX Blog page

Now, I simply must get back to my retirement.
