Well, no solution without a drawback ;-):
The resulting file works fine with acroread 7.
But with acroread 5.5 I get:
"There was an error processing a page. Invalid pattern"
(Note that this also happens, when using `c.writePDFfile(" ...")`)
Is there maybe a workaround, so that the file would
work with acroread 5.5 ?
Now you may ask, why I want acroread 5 if acroread 7 is already out.
The reason is the following (sorry, this *is* clearly
off-topic wrt PyX, but still people might encounter
the problem as well ...):
Quoting Steve Schwartz
http://www.tug.org/pipermail/texhax/2005-September/004624.html
"""
I use hyperref to insert run commands into a pdf using pdflatex, so that
I can show movies within beamer presentations. The syntax is:
\href{run:/movie_script.sh}{Click Here}
where movie_script.sh is a shell script to play the movie (I have it run
mplayer on my linux laptop, with various options).
On clicking the hyperlink, acroread 7.0 throws up a box complaining that
"Adobe Reader could not open 'movie_script.sh' because it is either not
a supported file type or because the file has been damaged..." On
clicking the OK button, the movie then plays! Not very slick.
"""
I contacted Steve last night, and there has been no solution
to his problem (only many mails asking him about a solution ;-).
He has reported the problem to Adobe (but no answer ...)
The minimal example to reproduce the problem is this one:
%%% acroread_href_problem.tex %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% latex acroread_href_problem ; dvips acroread_href_problem
% ps2pdf acroread_href_problem.ps ; acroread acroread_href_problem.pdf
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\href{run:start1.cmd}{START cmd}\\
\href{run:start2.exe}{START exe}\\
\href{run:start3.sh}{START sh}\\
\href{run:start4}{START}
\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Any ideas/solutions/workarounds are of course very much welcome!
(Maybe there is some trick with mime types?)
Best, Arnd
