NAME
     pdftex, pdfinitex, pdfvirtex - PDF output from TeX

SYNOPSIS
     pdftex [options] [commands]

DESCRIPTION
     This manual page is not meant to be  exhaustive.   The  com-
     plete  documentation for this version of TeX can be found in
     the info file or manual Web2C: A TeX implementation.

     pdfTeX is a version of TeX that can create PDF files as well
     as DVI files.

     The typical use of pdfTeX is with a pregenerated formats for
     which  PDF output has been enabled.  The pdftex command uses
     the equivalent of the plain TeX  format,  and  the  pdflatex
     command uses the equivalent of the LaTeX format.

     The pdfinitex and pdfvirtex commands are pdfTeX's  analogues
     to  the  initex  and virtex commands.  In this installation,
     they are symlinks to the pdftex executable.

     pdfTeX's handling of its command-line arguments  is  similar
     to that of TeX.

     pdfTeX is beta software.

OPTIONS
     This version of pdfTeX  understands  the  following  command
     line options.

     --fmt format
          Use format as the  name  of  the  format  to  be  used,
          instead  of the name by which pdfTeX was called or a %&
          line.

     --help
          Print help message and exit.

     --ini
          Be pdfinitex, for dumping formats; this  is  implicitly
          true if the program is called as pdfinitex.

     --interaction mode
          Sets the interaction mode.  The  mode  can  be  one  of
          batchmode,  nonstopmode, scrollmode, and errorstopmode.
          The meaning of these modes is the same as that  of  the
          corresponding \commands.

     --ipc
          Send DVI or PDF output to a socket as well as the usual
          output  file.   Whether this option is available is the
          choice of the installer.

     --ipc-start
          As --ipc, and starts the server at  the  other  end  as
          well.   Whether  this option is available is the choice
          of the installer.

     --kpathsea-debug bitmask
          Sets path searching debugging flags  according  to  the
          bitmask.  See the Kpathsea manual for details.

     --maketex fmt
          Enable mktexfmt, where fmt must be one of tex or tfm.

     --no-maketex fmt
          Disable mktexfmt, where fmt must be one of tex or tfm.

     --output-comment string
          Use string for the DVI  file  comment  instead  of  the
          date.

     --progname name
          Pretend to be program name.  This affects both the for-
          mat used and the search paths.

     --shell-escape
          Enable the \write18{command}  construct.   The  command
          can  be  any  Bourne  shell command.  This construct is
          normally disallowed for security reasons.

     --translate-file tcxname
          Use the tcxname translation table.

     --version
          Print version information and exit.

ENVIRONMENT
     See the Kpathsearch library documentation (the `Path specif-
     ications'  node)  for precise details of how the environment
     variables are used.  The kpsewhich utility can  be  used  to
     query the values of the variables.

     One caveat: In most pdfTeX formats, you cannot use  ~  in  a
     filename you give directly to pdfTeX, because ~ is an active
     character, and hence is expanded, not taken as part  of  the
     filename.   Other  programs,  such  as Metafont, do not have
     this problem.

     TEXMFOUTPUT
          Normally, pdfTeX puts its output files in  the  current
          directory.   If any output file cannot be opened there,
          it tries to open it in the directory specified  in  the
          environment  variable TEXMFOUTPUT.  There is no default
          value for that variable.  For example, if you  say  tex
          paper  and  the  current  directory is not writable, if
          TEXMFOUTPUT has the  value  /tmp,  pdfTeX  attempts  to
          create  /tmp/paper.log (and /tmp/paper.pdf, if any out-
          put is produced.)

     TEXINPUTS
          Search path for \input and \openin files.  This  should
          probably start with ``.'', so that user files are found
          before system files.  An empty path component  will  be
          replaced  with the paths defined in the texmf.cnf file.
          For example, set  TEXINPUTS  to  ".:/home/usr/tex:"  to
          prepend  the current direcory and ``/home/user/tex'' to
          the standard search path.

     TEXFONTS
          Search path for font metric (.tfm) files.

     TEXFORMATS
          Search path for format files.

     TEXPOOL
          search path for pdfinitex internal strings.

     TEXEDIT
          Command template for switching to editor.  The default,
          usually vi, is set when pdfTeX is compiled.

FILES
     The location of the files mentioned below varies from system
     to  system.   Use  the kpsewhich utility to find their loca-
     tions.

     pdftex.pool
          Encoded text of pdfTeX's messages.

     texfonts.map
          Filename mapping definitions.

     *.tfm
          Metric files for pdfTeX's fonts.

     *.fmt
          Predigested pdfTeX format (.fmt) files.

BUGS
     This version of pdfTeX fails  to  trap  arithmetic  overflow
     when  dimensions  are added or subtracted.  Cases where this
     occurs are rare, but when it does  the  generated  DVI  file
     will  be  invalid.   Whether  a  generated PDF file would be
     usable is unknown.
