: pdfTeX contains sources for pdftosrc and ttf2afm, but "make all" in pdftexdir does not compile them:
# pdftex_bin = pdftex ttf2afm pdftosrc pdftex_bin = pdftex
They are available as targets in web2c.
Why they got lost in pdftexdir (it was there in 1.30), I honestly don't know.
Martin, I'm amazed that you don't remember. Because *you* and Thanh decided that it is obsolete because you don't need it yourself and you decided that people should use pdfTk instead. It was a bad decision. Martin, as far as I remember *you* suggested to remove it and Thanh agreed. Dig out the old emails. I remember this very well because someone told me that he had been very upset because people who do not use this program decided that it should be removed but complaints from people who actually use the program had been ignored.
I'll reenable them in pdftexdir.
Thanks. It's a nice and useful tool.
