Re: [tex-live] pdftex documentation
we have on p4 some (perhaps) obsolete files: pdftex-t.txt, As I wrote. Also pdftex-i.tex pdftex-w.pdf pdftex-w.tex moreover texmf/doc/pdftex/examples/ can be also removed, as pdftex has something better (I believe) in manual/samplepdf/ Indeed, I wasn't sure if samplepdf/ was really supposed to replace examples/. Overall, texmf/doc/pdftex in TL is a frustrating mix of files from a variety of places. Advice (or, ideally, a canonical location we can just copy from) would be appreciated. http://tug.org/texlive/devsrc/Master/texmf/doc/pdftex/ Thanks, Karl

the misc/pdfTeX-FAQ from 2000 refers to version 0.14f, still mentions the old config file, and TIFF, is misleading. Should be removed IMHO. Is it worthwile to update it? Is a separate FAQ for pdfTeX really needed, if we have the manual? If it's ok for Martin, also the pdftex-pdfkeys/pdftex-pdfkeys and therefore the whole dir. could be removed in principle, as this info is now included in the manual. And why can't my xpdf display Thanh's thesis-png.pdf (only white sheets), but Adobe Reader can? Regards, Hartmut

If it's ok for Martin, also the pdftex-pdfkeys/pdftex-pdfkeys and therefore the whole dir. could be removed in principle, as this info is now included in the manual. Fine with me if it's fine with Martin. Deletions always make me happy :). And why can't my xpdf display Thanh's thesis-png.pdf (only white sheets), but Adobe Reader can? You're asking me :)? All those files predate my involvement in TL by a good many years, I have no idea where they came from. I'd love to have a pdftex doc location on CTAN I could just copy wholesale for TL ... Thanks, Karl
