name pdftricks category Package shortdesc Support for pstricks in pdftex. longdesc The psTricks macros cannot be used with pdfTeX, since pstricks longdesc uses PostScript arithmetic, which isn't part of PDF. This package longdesc circumvents this limitation so that the extensive facilities longdesc offered by the powerful psTricks package can be made use of in a longdesc pdfTeX document. This is done using the shell escape function longdesc available in recent TeX implementations. [description copied from longdesc TeX Catalogue]
