PDF Contents Altered by Link

ahi · 09-18-2009, 09:22 AM

The microtype.pdf file has, on page 4, two links in the margins that show the impact of different microtypographic settings on the adjacent paragraphs.

This, while I am not sure how it is done, seems like involves the arbitrary replacement of one piece of content with another "upon click", so to speak. Can those of you with link-capable PDF viewing devices take a look at the PDF (ignoring the fact that it's not sized for 6" - 10" screens) and let me know what impact "clicking" on the two margin links (protrusion and extension) does?

I'd be grateful for reports from PRS-505 owners too, as I won't be able to check until fairly late tonight.

Opening that with xpdf 3.00 says it needs a PDF 1.5 capable reader. Looking at source, it seems the document uses layers (Optional Content Groups, OCG). I bet only readers with ADE SDK are likely to support this.

So it probably won't work on any eBook reading devices at this time?
