Dear pdftex

 

One of our customer in Switzerland required our web2print solution to
support LaTeX. 

 

We downloaded the latest package from your internet web site and installed
it (running "first-setup.bat"). Installation went fine. 

By running the command "pdftex
"C:\Users\meninx\Desktop\LuaTeX\Samples\usrguide.tex"" we get the following
error:

 

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.17 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX)
(preloaded format=pdftex)

\write18 enabled.

pdftex.exe: fatal: Could not undump 1 4-byte item(s) from pdftex.fmt.

 

As pdftext.fmt was not found, we created an empty file which causes this
error. Without this pdftex.fmt file, we get the error :

 

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.17 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX)
(preloaded format=pdftex)

\write18 enabled.

kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdftex.fmt

The command name is
C:\Users\meninx\Desktop\LuaTeX\context-setup-win64\context\tex\texmf-win64\b
in\mktexfmt

I can't find the format file `pdftex.fmt'!

 

Where can I find the content for such a file?

 

How does your support works and how can we collaborate on this project with
you?

 

Thank you in advance for your help

 

Best Regards

Dear Jean-Christophe,

You have installed the ConTeXt.
See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page

The following is the simplest meaningless example of ConTeXt mkii,
where pdftex is used:

%
% test.tex
%
\starttext
Test
\stoptext

which is compiled by
mtxrun --script texexec test.tex

Nowadays usually ConTeXt means ConTeXt mkiv, where luatex is used.
In ConTeXt mkiv, the above example is compiled by
context test.tex

In order to use pdflatex, or pdftex, you may obtain
TeX Live, or MikTeX, assuming that you are playing on windows.

Best,
Akira
