Attempting to rephrase a problem in a more straightforward manne, going back to the root….
Consider the MWE below. This compiles fine and produces the expected output.
However, uncommenting lines 16 and 32 in order to get the buttons/words in
proper RTL order for Hebrew gives the following error (TL2014, and also now
tried with TL2015 pretest):
“xdvipdfmx:fatal: A pending form XObject at the end of page” and the
compilation aborts. The same happens using \begin{RTL} … \end{RTL} instead of
\begin{hebrew} … \end{hebrew} or replacing the pair with \texthebrew{ …. }.
I was able to get around this temporarily using lualatex at the suggestion of
the media9 author but this solution offered no longer works
(http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/188434/media-button-in-rtl).
Can anyone suggest a fix? I’ve attached my log file.
Many thanks,
K
