pdfTeX is an extended version of eTeX that can create PDF directly from
|
|
1 |
TeX source files and enhance the result of TeX typesetting with the help
|
|
2 |
of PDF. When PDF output is not selected, pdfTeX produces normal DVI
|
|
3 |
output, otherwise it produces PDF output that looks essentially
|
|
4 |
identical to the DVI output. An important aspect of this project is to
|
|
5 |
investigate alternative justification algorithms.

====================================

This directory contains the version 1.40.11 of pdfTeX, an extended version
|
7 | |
of eTeX that can create PDF directly from TeX source files and enhance the
|
8 | |
result of TeX typesetting with the help of PDF. When PDF output is not
|
9 | |
selected, pdfTeX produces normal DVI output, otherwise it produces PDF
|
10 | |
output that looks identical to the DVI output. An important aspect of this
|
11 | |
project is to investigate alternative justification algorithms, optionally
|
12 | |
making use of multiple master fonts.

pdfTeX is based on the original eTeX sources and Web2c, and has been
|
15 | |
successfully compiled on Unix, Win32 and DOS systems. It is no longer
|
16 | |
under active development and only bug fixes are to be expected; it produces
|
17 | |
reasonable PDF code.

pdfTeX is based on the original e-TeX sources and Web2c, and has been
|
|
8 |
successfully compiled on many systems. It is no longer under active
|
|
9 |
development and only bug fixes and small enhancements are expected.
