When PDF output is not +selected, pdfTeX produces normal DVI output, otherwise it produces PDF +output that looks identical to the DVI output. An important aspect of this +project is to investigate alternative justification algorithms, optionally +making use of multiple master fonts. + +pdfTeX is based on the original eTeX sources and Web2c, and has been +successfully compiled on Unix, Win32 and DOS systems. It is still under +development and features may change; it produces reasonable PDF code. + +See the file NEWS for changes to the program. + +Documentation about pdfTeX can be found at http://www.pdftex.org + +There is also a mailing list on pdfTeX; go to +http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdftex for more information about it. Its +searchable archive can be found at http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/ +Please read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html before +asking any questions on the pdfTeX mailing list. + +A mailing list for the developement of pdfTeX can be found at +http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-pdftex + + +LEGAL ISSUES +============ + +pdfTeX is copyright (c) 1996-2007 Han The Thanh, <thanh@pdftex.org> + +pdfTeX is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the +terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software +Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later +version. + +pdfTeX is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY +WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS +FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
