[pdftex] scaling pdfannot's using scalebox

[Alexander Grahn]

Hello,

pdf annotations, such as links, are not properly scaled by the scalebox
command from the graphicx package, if the source is fed through pdfLaTeX.

I'm not sure if this is pdfLaTeX's fault or that of graphicx's pdftex
driver, since everything is ok with latex + dvips. The same applies to
links and crossrefs generated by hyperref.

Try the following snippet, once using latex + dvips and once pdflatex:

\documentclass{article}

\ifx\pdfoutput\undefined
	\usepackage[pdfmark]{hyperref} %for \pdfmark
	\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx} %for \scalebox
\else
	\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\fi	

\begin{document}

\setbox0=\hbox{Hello World!}

\ifx\pdfoutput\undefined
	\scalebox{3}{%
		\pdfmark[\copy0]{%
			pdfmark=/ANN,
			Subtype=/Link
		}%
	}
\else
	\scalebox{3}{%
		\copy0%
		\pdfannot width \wd0 height \ht0 depth \dp0 {%
			/Subtype /Link
		}%
	}
\fi	

\end{document}
