Embedding external files into PDF file
kilele:
One can include links to external files in pdfs, but most readers will block execution due to security reasons.
An exception is the TexWorks pdf viewer that comes with MikTeX.
Does anyone know some way to avoid these restrictions or another document formats to create this sort of dynamic books ?
Ath:
The restrictions are (most likely) imposed by the OS (Windows or Linux) or the pdfreader application used, not by the PDF format.
Check out the options to avoid messages like these, but be aware of any security implications!
kilele:
thanks for the response but I didn't mean to changing security settings for myself but to a way of creating dynamic books ready to share and open by everyone, maybe there is some other format or rather a trick to bypass these restrictions by using some other software.
Carol Haynes:
You can include the entire content within one PDF and use internal links to jump about. That way there would be no security prompts.
kilele:
Thanks Carol, sounds good! may I ask which software you use and how it could be done ?
