Installation

If you are only interested in the PDF you can download a zip containing all PDFs from here. To program such a PDF yourself you need this:

1. install LaTeX e.g. TeX Live
2. install the insdljs package
   • This package is not necessarily included in the default LaTeX packages and needs to be installed manually
   • Download the acrotex bundle Source1 | Source2
   • Unzip the bundle
   • Use tex acrotex.ins to compile the file and to get the insdljs.sty
   • Check that the files are found by LaTeX e.g. by putting them in the same directory

Alternativly you can use one of the install scripts (bash | powershell) to install all dependencies and the acrotex package automatically.

Dependencies

Mandatory

• insdljs

Mandatory when using template

• tcolorbox

Usage

Simply compile the .tex file to PDF and open the PDF with Adobe Acrobat Reader, other PDF viewer were not tested and may not be able to run the JavaScript.

OBACHT: Different compiler might leed to different outputs for example regarding spacing. The here used compiler was pdfLaTeX with TeX live version 2021. Furthermore you might need to enable the JavaScript even when using Adobe, more information regarding the settings can be found here.
