Hi Phil,

one can zoom in to examine specific parts. The text is fully mapped

What did surprise me is that hyperlinks are not active in the online version; one has to copy them and paste them into a browser, which is somewhat counter-intuitive.

Jumping to conclusions again?  :-)

They are indeed fully active.
But maybe your PDF browser is being paranoid about security.
Internal links are fine.
On first trying an external link, this is what I get:  (see image)

Maybe your PDF browser is doing something similar,
or responding to an internal security setting; e.g.
something like:
   Allow always / Show dialog / Block always.

or Enhanced Security as in the next image:

I think that you have assumed that it will do what *you* want it
to do, without having read the supplied documentation.
That is always a recipe for disappointment.
Sorry, your assumption concerning my assumption is quite correct, but my assumption was based on your earlier message.

The package, once installed, comes with two example documents:

   sample.tex
   small2e-pdfx.tex

If you have the most recent TeXLive 2016 installed,
you can find them this way:
I have only TeX Live 2014 (I always lag one or two releases) but "TeXdoc pdfx" displays the expected document so I may well have them; I will check tomorrow.

Sounds good.

Check that it is for v.1.5.8 with 81 pages incl. source listing in pdfx.pdf .
The version number is at bottom right, in the footer.

The one for  v.1.5.6 looks similar at the front, but the docs are much shorter.
(Only 12 pages w/o source listing.)
Earlier versions have a different color scheme.



Many thanks for your help, Ross; I shall continue tomorrow.

BTW, if you are going to work with PDFs into the future,
invest in the latest Acrobat Pro DC.
I don’t know how much it costs for non-academic in the UK,
but it’ll be the best 100–200 pounds you have ever spent,
in terms of the time that it will save you.
