pdftex is "equivalent" to tex and can only run with plain TeX. If your LaTeX document doesn't include any EPS/PS, pdflatex should work. Here is template so that you can run both latex and pdflatex: %% Preamble \ifx\pdfoutput\undefined % We're not running pdftex \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report} \else \documentclass[pdftex,a4paper,12pt]{report} %% More options described in pdfTeX manual \pdfcompresslevel=9 \pdfinfo { /Title (Title of Document) /Author (Your Name) /Subject (???) /Keywords (???) } \fi ... \begin{document} ... %% Example of including figures: pdflatex supports PDF, PNG and JPEG graphics \begin{figure} \centering \ifx\pdfoutput\undefined \includegraphics{fig.eps} \else \includegraphics{fig.pdf} \fi \end{figure} ... \end{documnent} -- Triet H.
