说明
pdfTeX is a TeX engine that produces PDF output directly from TeX source, without an intermediate DVI stage. It extends Knuth's original TeX with PDF-specific primitives and microtypographic features such as margin kerning (character protrusion) and font expansion (hz-optimization) for improved text appearance. pdfTeX processes plain TeX by default. For LaTeX documents, use pdflatex instead, which is pdfTeX with the LaTeX format preloaded.
