I am trying to create a technical manual which contains a lot of screen-shots. Nevertheless I am looking for:

  • Insert the pictures as thumbnails and when one clicks on them, they expand as embedded pictures.

Can that behaviour be achieved using the LaTeX technology?

If the answer is yes, can you suggest some tips about it, please?

  • This sounds very problematic - once the image is scaled up then the whole document has to be re-built, as you can no longer assure that the larger version is in the right place. – Dror Sep 03 '13 at 19:15
  • What about the captions? Should they initially be also reduced in the thumbnails and enlarged after clicking on the thumbnail? – Gonzalo Medina Sep 03 '13 at 20:14
  • @GonzaloMedina Not necessarily, but that's a plus :) – slackmart Sep 03 '13 at 20:54
  • You can link the thumbnail to a full image (in a separate file) using hyperref. – John Kormylo Sep 04 '13 at 03:31

This question has already been answered here and there. They define a \zoombox macro to be used, e. g., as:

\zoombox{\includegraphics[width=1cm]{screenshot-1}}
\zoombox{\includegraphics[width=1cm]{screenshot-2}}
\zoombox{\includegraphics[width=1cm]{screenshot-3}}
...

On click, the box content is zoomed to its maximum size possible to fit within the Adobe Reader document window.

This is only possible with an interactive format like PDF. Sounds like a job for OCGs. See:

  1. parindent in TikZ node
  2. Creating Interactive graphs like Stack exchange reputation tab

ocgx.sty can toggle the visibility of OCG layers. Support by other viewers but AR might be, well ... ;-)

  • Walking around @Josep suggestions, I've found an Undefined Control Sequence at line 119 of ocg-p package. Does anyone know how to fix that? – slackmart Sep 04 '13 at 21:02
