These are the first members in the AeB Pro Family of software. All packages require the use of Acrobar Pro and Acrobat Distiller.

(2) The AcroSort Package: A novelty package for importing an image that has been sliced into rows and columns and randomly rearranged. The JavaScript does a bubble sort on the picture. (3) AeB Slicing batch sequence: This is a batch sequence for Acrobat Pro that takes the image open in Acrobat and slices it into a specified number of rows and columns, and saves the slices to a designated folder. (4) The AcroMemory Package: A LaTeX package that implements two variations of a memory game: (1) a single game board consisting of a number of tiles, each tile has a matching twin, the object is to find all the matching twins; (2) two game boards, both identical except one has been randomly rearranged, the object is the find the matching pieces in each of the two game boards.

CTAN Update: beamer version 3.07
by CTAN Announcements 12 Mar '07

12 Mar '07

On Sun, 11 Mar 2007, Till Tantau wrote submitted an update to the beamer package. The beamer LaTeX class can be used for producing slides. Its functionality is similar to Prosper but does not need any external programs and can directly produce a presentation using pdflatex. Beamer uses pgf for pdf/ps independent graphics. Frames are created using frame{...}, and a frame can build multiple slides through a simple notation for specifying material for each slide within a frame. Beamer supports bibliographies, appendicies and transitions. Short versions of title, authors, institute can also be specified as optional parameters. A plainframe{} allows a picture, for example, to fill the whole frame. Support figure and table environments, transparency effects, a ransduration command, animation commands, a pauses environment. Beamer also provides compatibility with other packages like prosper. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/beamer License: GPLv2 Annoucement: After two years, this is the first bugfix release! It fixes some of the most troublesome bugs: 1) The problem with wrong colors after blocks in dvips mode. 2) The wrong name pgfuselayout mentioned in the manual. 3) Frame titles of fragile frames can be given inline. Furthermore, the chaotic license refences have been fixed, copyrighted pictures have been removed and this release should now be perfectly free. Changes: 2007-03-11 Till Tantau <tantau(a)users.sourceforge.net> CVS: - LyX layout removed since it is now part of the LyX development tree. - Cleaned up documentation. - Cleaned up license chaos and removed all possibly copyrighted material. - Fixed incorrect subsubsections in vertical navigation bars. - Fixed problem with overlay specifications in amsmath environments. - Fixed superfluous show in beamerthemeshadow.sty - Fixed color problem in beamer boxes with rounded corners. - Fixed problem with frametitle syntax in fragile frames. - Fixed missing frame subtitles in article mode. - Added french solution translations (due to Philippe De Sousa). _______________________________________________ Thanks for the upload.

by CTAN Announcements 10 Mar '07

10 Mar '07

On Fri, 9 Mar 2007, Axel Sommerfeldt submitted an update to the caption package. The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating environments like figure and table, and cooperates with many other packages. Includes rotating captions, sideways captions, continued captions (for tables or figures that come in several parts). A list of compatibility notes, for other packages, is provided in the documentation. The package also provides the caption outside float facility, in the same way that simpler packages like capt-of do. The package supersedes caption2. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/caption/ Summary description: Customising captions in floating environments License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a bugfix release of the caption package 3.0: - Bugfix: captionbox changed from parbox[t] to parbox[b] - Accidentally the KOMA-Script support got broken in v3.0m, fixed (See changelog for details.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/caption/ .
