the manual issues
by Pawel Jackowski 13 May '05

13 May '05

Hi, please consider the following issues (applies to pdfTeX manual released at 2005-04-27, 15:50). 1. Page 18, \pdfhorigin description: "use TeX's own \horigin primitive" -- imho should be \hoffset instead of \horigin ;) 2. Page 18, \pdfpagewidth description: "If the value is not given..." -- I'd rather say "If the value is set to 0pt". If one say \let\pdfpagewidth\relax, while shipping out the page pdfTeX will take the last relevant value, not the formula shown in the manual. 3. Page 19, \pdfinfo description: "If a key is used more that once, the first appearance will be used" -- Sugestion; one may think, that pdfTeX reads keys provided to \pdfinfo (and other primtives that takes a literal pdf text as a parameters) and replaces the values if doubled. Perhaps it should be mentioned, that no interpretation is made here. Moreover, it seems that in Acrobat the SECOND entry takes a place... 4. Page 24, \pdfobj description: "When <object type spec> is not given, a dictionary object is created" -- doesn't seem to be true. Isn't that an old behaviour? 5. Page 25, \pdfpagesattr example: \pdfpagesattr{/Rotate 90 /MediaBox [0 0 612 792]} One may be confused, since MediaBox setup will never take an effect if provided in this way. Each page has always own MediaBox that overrides \pdfpagesattr. CropBox could be better I think. 6. Page 25, \pdfpageref description: Extra backalshes: "\\pdfpageref5 expands to number \18." 7. Page 25, \pdfxform description: The last sentence in this paragraph -- as in point 3; maybe it should be mentioned that it may depend on the viewer. Entries provided by the user doesn't seem to take a priority over later ones in Acrobat. It applies to Ghostsript however. The code such as \setbox0\hbox{Aqq} \pdfxform attr {/BBox [0 0 10 10]}0 \pdfrefxform\pdflastxform outputs 1 0 obj << /Type /XObject /Subtype /Form /BBox [0 0 10 10] /BBox [0 0 17.988 8.745] /FormType 1 /Matrix [1 0 0 1 0 0] /Resources 9 0 R /Length 67 /Filter /FlateDecode >> and this is interpreted in different ways, depending on the viewer. I like the rest very much! BTW, how manual updates are organised? Are the sources in CVS or one from time to time send an updates to sarovar? Best regards, -- Pawe/l Jackowski P.Jackowski(a)gust.org.pl

Bugs item #302, was opened at 2005-03-01 19:06 You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=302&group_id=106 Category: web2c Group: v1.21a Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: John Denker (jsd) Assigned to: Olaf Weber (infovore) Summary: -jobname doesn't overcome texput Initial Comment: Hi -- Suppose I want to pipe commands into pdflatex: echo '\typeout{---\jobname---}' | \ pdflatex --jobname foo You might expect that to type out ---foo--- but instead it types out ---texput--- I observe that --jobname works just fine for any filename I can think of, just not when the filename is absent entirely. I can offer two workarounds: 1) It's not documented, but nevertheless possible to \def\jobname{foo}. 2) Of course it's possible to stuff the commands into tmp.tex and then pdflatex --jobname foo tmp.tex Because these workarounds exist, I would rate this as a very low-priority bug. But it had me surprised and confused for a while. Given the overall high quality of the product, I thought I'd bring it to your attention. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Olaf Weber (infovore) Date: 2005-04-12 18:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1847 This is a general problem with the implementation of the --jobname switch in web2c. My proposed diff is a variant on Akira's work. It touches more files, but gives IMHO a cleaner interface to get_job_name() and less need for additional #defines. Unless there turns out to be something wrong with this, it will be merged in the web2c sources. lib/texmfmp.c | 6 ++++-- mf.ch | 6 +++++- mp.ch | 4 +++- tex.ch | 6 ++++-- web2c/coerce.h | 2 +- web2c/texmf.defines | 2 +- 6 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) Index: mf.ch =================================================================== RCS file: /usr/local/cvsroot/texk/texk/web2c/mf.ch,v retrieving revision 1.40 diff -u -d -r1.40 mf.ch --- mf.ch 28 Dec 2004 18:24:38 -0000 1.40 +++ mf.ch 12 Apr 2005 16:07:11 -0000 @@ -1717,8 +1717,12 @@ @z @x [38.788] Set correct filename for recorder. +if job_name=0 then job_name:="mfput"; +@.mfput@> pack_job_name(".log"); @y +if job_name=0 then job_name:=get_job_name("mfput"); +@.mfput@> pack_job_name(".fls"); recorder_change_filename(stringcast(name_of_file+1)); pack_job_name(".log"); @@ -1778,7 +1782,7 @@ @x [38.793] l.15938 - The job name may have been given on the command line. begin job_name:=cur_name; open_log_file; @y - begin job_name:=get_job_name; open_log_file; + begin job_name:=get_job_name(cur_name); open_log_file; @z @x [38.793] Can't return name to string pool because of editor option?
