| 1. | Why does latex use pdfTeX (and not TeX)? |
| pdfTeX is now the default typesetting engine. The DVI output should
be identical to that of TeX. |
| 2. | How can I change the output file name? |
| You can use option --job-name
to set the name of the output file.
For example, you would run
to create the PDF file
dog.pdf instead of
cat.pdf. |
| 3. | How can I change the output directory? |
| You can use the option --output-directory
to specify an alternative location for all output files. For example, you would run
to deposit the output file (mydoc.pdf) in
C:\temp\. |
| 4. | How do I insert source specials into the DVI file? |
| You use the --src-specials
option to enrich the DVI file with source
file information (aka “source specials”). Source specials enable the
DVI previewer to synchronize
with the text editor while you are editing the TeX source file. For example, run the
to enrich DVI file
mydoc.dvi with source file information,
i.e., mydoc.dvi will contain references
to mydoc.tex.
