<br>
SA> Thank you for your reply. I was getting an error when using pdfx<br>
SA> because it clashes with the class file for theses and<br>
SA> dissertations at my institution.<br>
<br>
This is a further evidence of the fact that the problem is very hard.<br>
While the authors of pdfx are among the best TeX programmers, the<br>
package is, unfortunately, very fragile.  Whenever I ought to use it<br>
for production, I ended up patching it for compatibility with the<br>
packages I needed.<br>
<br>
<br>

Good luck<br>

Here I sit, broken-hearted,<br>
All logged in, but work unstarted.<br>
First net.this and net.that,<br>
And a hot buttered bun for net.fat.<br>
<br>
The boss comes by, and I play the game,<br>
Then I turn back to net.flame.<br>
Is there a cure (I need your views),<br>
For someone trapped in net.news?<br>
<br>
I need your help, I say 'tween sobs,<br>
'Cause I'll soon be listed in <a href="http://net.jobs" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">net.jobs</a>.<br>
