@DavidCarlisle I see you listened to my talk ...

@UlrikeFischer I always do what you say

@UlrikeFischer on that, If we we put an empty form thing that could carry an /alt over the top of the pdf would the pop-up show?

@cis Cool! let me try to get the data

Dr. Manuel Kuehner

07:36

@cis I started a question with the raw data, see tex.stackexchange.com/questions/717754 :).

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle depends what you mean by form. An xform object doesn't work, but I will have to recheck, a pdfcomment on top (like in the one file which fails too) probably works to get a pop up but is not really the same, as then it is not on the structure.

@PauloCereda I'm afraid I haven't seen it yet (I'm not subscribed to amazon)

@WillRobertson -- Eek!

Seems that babel and translator lose their functionality when one defines tikz as standalone environment.

What do I have to do there?

\documentclass[border=5pt,
tikz% <----- Problem....
]{standalone}

\usepackage[german]{babel}% no effect
\usepackage[german]{translator}% no effect

@WillRobertson OOH I NEED ONE

@Dr.ManuelKuehner ...

I thought the language had to be changed because the date was given in German notation.
If you don't need this, you can comment out the relevant parts of the 'language change'.

@cis 01. Mai? Somehow this is used everywhere, I consider this bad style. Either use 01.05.2024 or 1. Mai 2024 (in German, I mean)

I never got the reason for this leading zero (except to prevent forgery maybe)

cis

I thought you were writing

"May, 1st 2024"

or something like that.

Jasper Habicht

@cis Sure, I was referring to the graphic you posted where the date looks like German

cis

Oh, you criticize the leading zeros.
These can probably be eliminated. But that's another fine-tuning that requires long searching through the TikZ manual in the calendar library.

@cis Wow, thanks a lot!

One could also create a good TikZ animation for this video (preferably 2D...); possibly with the appropriate physics and mathematics behind it.

Let's see, I wanted to concentrate now on the more extensive story with the "color fonts".
But maybe I'll do that someday.

@DavidCarlisle Thanks, uncompress certainly worked, the .pdf is 6x bigger, and the .png is a visibly different image. But if the alt text is there, 'strings' still doesn't find it.

Ooh, maybe it is, but still compressed or perhaps encoded: "FEFF005400680069007300200069007300200061006C007400650072006E00610074006500200074006500780074"

I see this: << /Type /StructElem /Alt <FEFF005400680069007300200069007300200061006C007400650072006E00610074006500200074006500780074> /S /Figure /P 15 0 R /A <</O/Layout/BBox [148.71233 354.18755 548.71135 654.18682]>> /K <</Type /MCR /Pg 22 0 R /MCID 1>> /ID (ID.009) >>

mickep

@dedded That says: This is alternate text

dedded

@mickep Helps if I save my editor buffer :-). What's the encoding, do you know?

mickep

21:42

@dedded Unicode hex.

David Carlisle

@dedded yes exactly that is hex encoded utf-16, split up every 4 FEFF is the byte order mark then 0054 is T 0068 is H..

dedded

22:15

Thanks for the help. I'm going to try to make using alt text a habit when I start making slides again in the Fall.

@dedded if slides means beamer: that will difficult. Beamer is not supported yet and tagging is difficult (lots of boxes and you have to think about overlays)
