acroread

Home

View pdf formatted files. Acrobat (acroread) is a tool from Adobe for reading Adobe PDF files. It is available for a variety of architectures, and can be used as a plugin for Netscape. Adobe's distill (you have to buy that one) can be used to produce PDF files from PostScript. This provides a very useful way of accessing PostScript documents on the Web since PDF compresses the document internally. Best to use PostScript fonts in your LaTeX documents to make the most of it though. See also acrotex. (3 Mar 1999)

afterpage

Visit CTAN:macros/latex/required/tools/ PDF Documentation Download from somewhere nearby (Search) Download from Dante Included in the teTeX distribution

Implements a command that causes the commands specified in its argument to be expanded after the curent page is output. Useful to flush floats, for example. For example, LaTeX's float positioning mechanism sometimes gets overloaded and all floating figures and table drift to the end of the document. One may flush out all the unprocessed floats by issuing a \clearpage command, but this has the effect of making the current page end prematurely. Now you can issue \afterpage{\clearpage} and the current page will be filled up with text as usual, but then a \clearpage| command will flush out all the floats before the next text page begins. Latest recorded version is 1.08. (13 Aug 1998)
