Hi, I've been able to generate a .pdf from a .tex in a non-straight-forward way, so I'm wondering how it should actually be done. 1. using pdf or latex (dvi output), TeX will complain about the missing iter-man.ind file. o Where does it come from? o is there an easy substitute (instead of using null.tex/sty)? I used iter-man.idx instead, but this was not understood by the pdftex driver 2. pdftex pdftex iter-man -> error about \documentstyle pdfvirtex &pdfcslatex iter-man (I found the dir with the pdfcslatex.fmt and other .fmt in my Suse 8.1 distribution in /var/lib/..., but no pdflatex.fmt) works, after adding symlink of pdftex.cfg into the current directory The table of content did not generate clickable entries, nor bookmarks. I thought this was the big advantage of using pdftex? dvipdf iter-man.dvi generated a .pdf (smaller in size), this uses dvips internally, and a %pdf-1.3 header, while pdftex generates %pdf-1.4 Both appear with similar quality on screen, is that normal? I included that .pdf from pdfcslatex in the distribution I can send on request (see previous e-mail of mine, from today). Regards, Jorg Hohle.
