Mmm; yes, this is a very nice piece of work.

Yes; when I tried this under MacOS X, it was \footnotesize
that gave looping/crashing/memory-overflow problem.

There were other problems too -- apart from the lack of images,
to be able to reproduce the complete document.

I get that that piece of text is completely missing:

{(Pour remettre ‡ 0 les scores, cliquez sur dÈbut)}

As yet, I've no explanation for this.

This is due to an error in  eqfr.def

\renewcommand\eq at local@CA{%
    R\texorpdfstring{\'e}{\string\351}ponses}
                       ^----------------------- was missing 


Another error that I encountered was in reading the .toc file,
which looks like:

[go:~/Documents/THALES] rossmoor% more *.toc
\select at language {french}
\contentsline {section}{\numberline {1}Aire d'un triangle}{2}{section.1}
\contentsline {section}{\numberline {2} Cas particulier, toutes les mesures sont connues}{3}{sec
tion.2}
\select at language {english}
\select at language {french}
 ... and more of similar commands ...


Unfortunately, the \catcode of @ has not been adjusted appropriately,
when this file is read, so that 1st line fails, as:  \select @language {french}

An easy fix is to put:

   \addtocontents {toc}{\xstring \makeatletter}

immediately before the  \begin{document}  command.
However, I think that the best fix belongs elsewhere, perhaps within
 pdfscreen.sty , else this problem will be present in other documents too.


Then there are 2 other problems, that I experience:

 1.  within TeXShop (which uses the Preview application, Mac OS X) the document
     preview is of 14 blank pages.
     However, Acrobat Reader shows it fine.

 2.  The JavaScript for the quiz solutions doesn't work, on pages 3 and 4.
     (It's fine on later pages.)

Yes; now that the looping is stopped.


Hope this helps,
