No.

You can use External Objects (PDF Ref 8.8),
but that can only point to local files, not URLs.
And you would need a viewer that handled External Objects.

Or you could use the Open Prepress Interface (PDF Ref 14.11.7),
but that can only point to local files, not URLs.

And you would need a viewer that handled OPI.

Maybe with embedded flash. :-{

Adobe Reader needs a special object in the page for it to handle
included pdfs or pngs with transparency correctly on the first page
(search for pdftex and page groups.) pdfTeX tries to fix this
automagically for years (1.40.6, I think) by synthesizing this object,
but Hans rejects any automagic solution for LuaTeX (since it may

the right thing. Here it obviously fails.

[NTG-context] Fwd: [tldev] tlmgr multi repository support

[Martin Schröder]

-- Forwarded message --
From: Norbert Preining prein...@logic.at
Date: 2012/4/18
Subject: [tldev] tlmgr multi repository support
To: tl...@tug.org


Dear all,

with today's update tlmgr multi repository support has entered
into the tlcritical repository and the main svn branch.

We will not ship that for TL2011, but keep it already now in tlcritical
for testing. Everyone is invited to *actually* test it. Here a
short recipe:

1* update tlmgr/texlive.infra to the version in tlcritical:
       tlmgr --repository ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlcritical update --self

if that has succeeded, you should now have a multi-repository
capable installations, but set up to work in normal single repo
mode as before. To add repositories you have to two two things:

2a* add another repository:
       tlmgr repository add ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlcritical tlc
 (the tlc is just a tag name, you can give it any reasonable and unique
 one that is not main and not used already)

If you installation was up2date before, you will see no change but
a slightly different output, and a strange line:
$ tlmgr update --list
tlmgr: package repository:
       main = http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet
       tlc = ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlcritical
tlmgr: saving backups to /home/norbert/tltest/2011/tlpkg/backups
keep:     texlive.infra            : local:    26004, source: 24419@main
tlmgr: no updates available
$

Why? Because there is the missing step 2b* which tells tlmgr which packages
are taken from which repository. By default *ALL* packages are taken
from the main repository, the first entered. You will see now two
repositories if you have followed me up to here:
$ tlmgr repository
List of repositories (with tags if set):
       ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlcritical (tlc)
       http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet (main)
$

Now how do you tell that you *always* want texlive.infra from
tlcritical:

2b* Declare pinning rules

For the full documentation read tlmgr help, in principle you have
to add a file TEXMFLOCAL/tlpkg/pinning.txt which contains lines
       repo:pkg[,pkg]
where repo is either the full URL or the tag you gave, and pkg is
a package name and can contain shell globs. So to tell tlmgr that you
want all texlive.infra packages from tlcritical, you have to
create a file TEXMFLOCAL/tlpkg/pinning.txt containing only the line
       tlc:texlive.infra*
(where tlc is the name you gave above).

After that the output of tlmgr will change:
$ tlmgr update --list
tlmgr: using pinning file
/home/norbert/tltest/2011/../texmf-local/tlpkg/pinning.txt
tlmgr: package repository:
       main = http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet
       tlc = ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlcritical
tlmgr: saving backups to /home/norbert/tltest/2011/tlpkg/backups
tlmgr: no updates available
$

You can inquire about different candidates for installation via:
$ tlmgr candidates texlive.infra
tlmgr: using pinning file
/home/norbert/tltest/2011/../texmf-local/tlpkg/pinning.txt
tlmgr: package repository:
       main = http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet
       tlc = ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlcritical
Install candidate for texlive.infra from tlc (26004)
Other repositories providing this package:
main (24419)
$

etc etc. Please read the full man page of tlmgr for more details.

I hope that helps some people to try it out, and give me feed back.
This was a long term project and is now simmering in my local
repository for more than half a year, but still a wider test is
very much needed before TL2012 is released.

Best wishes

 AdobeReader or the specification(s) ?

It's known that Adobe needs it.
It's not really in the specs as per ISO3200:2008.
Maybe the next version will be clearer there.

Re: [NTG-context] PDF Digital Signatures

 If qpdf exists it is probably not a legal issue to do password protection 
 then.

Of course.

 But from the same perspective ... one first needs PDF to be (almost)
 finished before being able to sign it. One needs to read as-good-as
 the whole PDF, read the certificate from somewhere on the disk and
 then sign with that certificate. If certificate is password-protected,
 one also needs to provide the password somehow.

You can technically sign only parts (IIRC streams) of a PDF.

 government. On the other hand they could just as well have used some
 standard tool and it would work out of the box. So much about signing

gpg is free. So is jpdfsign.

Re: [NTG-context] Scribus vs ConTeXt

[Martin Schröder]

2012/3/1 William Adams will.ad...@frycomm.com:
 Unfortunately, there aren't many hooks in InDesign (and none I'm aware of in 
 Quark) to activate scripts automatically, so that a document will build 
 itself --- one which is pretty cool is Dirk Becker's auto-indexing script 
 which will run a script to format index entries (so as to make up for 
 InDesign's inability to capture character styles in index entries).

 If you can throw away any formatting you did and if you didn't use too
 many ConTeXt specific tricks, you can simply rewrite your code to
 LaTeX with a few regular expressions etc. But in the same spirit it
 might be way easier to just convert the document straight to ODT
 using copy-paste and applying some formatting there.

Or, if you know up front that you need multiple output formats,
you could use Markdown/Pandoc etc. and let it generate ConTeXt
as needed.

Re: [NTG-context] Ideas for restructuring the ConTeXt garden?

[Martin Schröder]

2011/3/14 Aditya Mahajan adit...@umich.edu:
 The hard part is figuring out the values (font size, spaces after sections,
 etc) from the LaTeX code. It is difficult to look at
 http://mirror.hmc.edu/ctan/macros/latex/contrib/IEEEtran/IEEEtran.cls and
 figure out what is the title size for a 10pt document, or how much space
 should come between the author block and the start of the two column text,
 etc.

Erm - is that really needed? Today a typical journal's workflow should
accept articles in LaTeX _markup_, convert that to XML and feed it to an
XML formatter (which may well use TeX) eventually. I see ConTeXt's role
there as the XML formatter. Or it could digest LaTeX markup - but then
it would need more than just the layout.

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt licensing

 I really like the particular answer pointing to bugroff licence:

It's a nice joke, but for practical purposes a one-clause BSD

 I was about to say that, though I'm pro strong copyleft (AKA GPL when

 one can take a BSD licensed ConTeXt and make a closed source derivative
 with any substantial improvement.

That may be legally possible. But who wants to support such a beast?
Seriously: Using ConTeXt mkIV without the possibility of support by Hans

 I take your word on this, but out of curiosity, better in what sense?

pdfopt is ghostscript, that is the pdf is fed into a PostScript RIP,
which spits out linearized pdf.

qpdf uses a pdf library and reorganizes the pdf so it is linearized.
So it knows more about pdf than gs, is much lighter (one binary and
one lib with together 1MB compared to ghostscript), much less can go
wrong (e.g. images are not changed) and IMHO the support for qpdf is
much better. :-)

 How high is the limit now? Just curious, since I saw LuaTeX building _a

Which limit? For the simple knuth case most likely the size of your harddisk
is the limit (iff luatex can generate PDFs 4GB :). And you'll get problems
with pdfs with millions of objects (i.e. pages), as readers can't cope with
them.

 For every worker a separate pdf is needed. It would be also nice to have
 the name-entry as a file-name. Any ideas?

We would have to extend luatex to allow the generation of multiple pdf
files from one source document. Not trivial, but quite interesting. :-)

Re: [NTG-context] greek letters in itemize

 LM has upper case Greek, no idea why not lower case as well.

I still find the idea of greek letters in a font called latin
interesting... :-)

You mean pgfmanual.pdf? That's free, so it shouldn't be a legal problem.

Re: [NTG-context] Failure to Install minimals on iBook G3

[Martin Schröder]

2010/10/19 Mojca Miklavec mojca.miklavec.li...@gmail.com:
 allow cross-compilation for Tiger. And the number of Tiger users is
 not neglegible at all ...

Maybe you should ask for donations to get a Tiger PPC build machine
for the minimals?

 Since most ConTeXt developers will be together next week, could you

 I'm at least planning to compile a cheat-sheet over the meeting.
 And I should renew my German tutorial... (Many ideas, not enough time...)

Any progress?

Flyers for ConTeXt and LuaTeX would be nice, too.

Re: [NTG-context] Question for wiki authors

[Martin Schröder]

2010/10/8 Taco Hoekwater t...@elvenkind.com:
 In doing so, it is not always immediately obvious who is doing what
 because the 'recent changes' list quite often does not contain a useful
 summary message. This is understandable, but it would really help
 if everybody would at least put something in the Summary field.

Interesting. And a perfect example how NOT to structure the home page
of an open source program: What's it all about? Well, we have this
link here which will tell you everything if you click it, but we don't
want to put a para on the main page ... :-(

[NTG-context] Wanted: ConTeXt: The poster

[Martin Schröder]

Hi,
for use at a conference booth I'd like to have a poster (A3 up to A0)
describing (and of course promoting) ConTeXt. You may assume that the
audience already knows (La)TeX. :-)
The first use would be at OpenRheinRuhr in November.

Since most ConTeXt developers will be together next week, could you
please spend some time creating one?

A short (say 20 frames) PDF presentation on the same subject would
also be nice to have.

Re: [NTG-context] questions regarding `\date`

[Martin Schröder]

2010/8/31 Taco Hoekwater t...@elvenkind.com:
 The Chicago manual (14ed) says that slashed/dotted dates are bad style
 and should be avoided and that one should use full month names instead.

Seconded. And if you have to use a short form, please follow ISO 8601
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) - nobody can be sure when the
8.9.10 is.

 \setupbackend

Does it correctly handle x-4? That's a lot harder then x-3.
