Unfortunately, only windowish Acrobat (6.0) supports all (?) kinds of 
features involved in pdf 1.5 spec... Things are even worse -- the last 
Ghostscript explodes on opening this sample, although layers are claimed 
to be backward compatible. Optional content is one of note worthy 
features of pdf 1.5 so it would be great if it was implemented not only 
in Acrobat...

LaTeX? I have nothing agaist LaTeX, I just don't use it (: I'd rather 
have a generic macro that works with pdfTeX. I'm working on it and will 
let you know (some nice day...).

Thank you ALL for the feedback,
