The AeB Blog
On this page, I shall post white papers and interesting examples that I have developed using AeB and AeB Pro (AeB is the AcroTeX eDucation Bundle). These are a collection LaTeX packages bundled together. The AcroTeX Magazine was written by me just a few years, it summarizes the AcroTeX packages and bundles available at that time. Magazine was created using the AcroTeX family of LaTeX packages. (Acrobat /Adobe Reader, version 6.0 or later required.)
LaTeX (http://www.tug.org) is a mark up language for authoring documents, AeB was designed as a authoring system for creating online, interactive documents for the WWW, or for distribution on computer CDs, as PDF files. The AeB Pro extends the utility of AeB by giving the author extensive control over the PDF file. The components of AeB Pro require the use of the Adobe Distiller, while for AeB, other direct to PDF creators can be used, such as pdftex and dvipdfm.
