stimuli's New Writeups 2000-09-08T17:54:10Z pdftex (thing) <p> Around here I have to product documents that the <a href="/title/suits">suits</a> can read, and PDFLaTeX has made my job quite a bit more pleasent. To try to dump from <a href="/title/DVI">DVI</a> to <a href="/title/postscript">postscript</a> to <a href="/title/PDF">PDF</a> ends up with crappy looking fonts in <a href="/title/Acrobat">Acrobat</a>. My boss wouldn't let me distribute postscript files to the customers, but he seems to accept PDF's just fine. <p> My other option is to do my docs in <a href="/title/Microsoft+Word">Microsoft Word</a>, clearly unacceptable. <p> Also, it is much easier to embed stuff like <a href="/title/JPEG">JPEG</a> files into PDFLaTeX, but you have to convert your <a href="/title/EPS">EPS</a> files to PDF first, unlike normal LaTeX where you can use them directly. Use epstopdf to do this.
