$Id: README 883 2022-06-08 17:30:43Z karl $ This samplepdf directory contains a few plain TeX example files. They are not meant to be used as-is, and may interfere with any real document. Please take them and adapt them as you see fit. The pdftex manual (texdoc pdftex == http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/doc/pdftex/manual/pdftex-a.pdf) is the reference documentation for pdfTeX. samplepdf.tex - document exhibiting many pdfTeX features. Please peruse both the output and the source. pdfcolor.tex - defining and using colors. (Used in samplepdf.tex) efcode.tex - sample \efcode settings and macros for font expansion. protcode.tex - sample \efcode settings and macros for character protrusion. (These two not used by samplepdf.tex. See the LaTeX package microtype for much more sophisticated support -- https://ctan.org/pkg/microtype.) Additionally, the standalone macro file supp-pdf.tex (-> supp-pdf.mkii) can read MetaPost output directly in pdftex while generating PDF. No need for eps-to-pdf conversion. It comes from ConTeXt and is included in the TeX distributions.
