At http://www.tug.org/applications/hyperref/manual.html it says we need to specify the 'dvips' option on the hyperref package, so I edited my version http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/book--main--1/Endpaper2 of Tim's endpaper.pamphlet with hyperlinks to include: \usepackage[dvips,final,colorlinks=true,pdfstartview=FitH]{hyperref} and clicked 'Save' to create a new 'dvi' file. At http://arxiv.org/hypertex it says that we have to use the -z option on dvips. BTW, it also says which dvi viewers support hyperref. So then directly on the axiom-developer.org server I used the following command: % dvips -z -o endpaper2.ps endpaper2.dvi to produce an intermediate postscript file and the command: % ps2pdf endpaper2.ps to produce a new 'pdf' file. Now the 'pdf' link on the above mentioned Axiom Wiki page http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/images/book--main--1/endpaper2.pdf displays the file with both lines between the boxes and active hyperlinks! I also changed the href in the top node to point to the url for catdef.spad.pdf on the wiki and sure enough clicking the link opens that file! If we include links like this in the file, it seems that as a minimum we will have to provide *both* .pdf and .dvi links. The table of contents hyperlinks all work and no ugly boxes around hyperlinks ... I think that's actually controlled by the hyperref option 'colorlinks=true'. Could you please also check whether the lines and hyperlinks still appear properly on this revised 'dvi' file: http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/images/book--main--1/endpaper2.dvi and let me know how it looks? Thanks. If everything still works I think I will change the pamphlet processing sequence as follows: weave (tex) --> latex (dvi) --> dvips (ps) --> ps2pdf (pdf) --> gzip (gz) and then provide the links on the pamphlet thumbnail page: Download: pdf dvi ps gz src tex log Is compressed (gzipped) postscript still sufficiently popular? Comments? Regards, Bill Page. _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
