point of view, the package allows to insert in an
comfortable way any TeX material into separate layers in PDF
document and also insert links which toggle these layers on
and off. Parts of the PDF document like formatted text,
tables, math formulas or graphics can be turned to visible
or invisible state by clicking active links or buttons.

Similar packages are cooltooltips, pdfcomment, AcroTeX and
fancytooltips. See the ocgtools package documentation for
differences between ocgtools and the other packages.

The package is distributed with examples build from one
source using several presentation packages (beamer, web,
pdfscreen). All necessary files are on Texlive 2009. Allmost
