Dear TeX experts, <br>
<br>
I have several packages (tikz, trackchanges, caption, multicol,
multirow) that use up some counters. I compile all my documents with
pdflatex. How can I use pdfetex instead of pdflatex to compile them?
<br>
<br>
I have Ubuntu's Koala, AucTex on Emacs. So far, if I simply try to
use pdfetex from the command line, I get an error, which looks like
if I were using bare TeX: <br>
##########################<br>
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)<br>
restricted \write18 enabled.<br>
entering extended mode<br>
(./method.tex<br>
! Undefined control sequence.<br>
l.12 \documentclass<br>
[10pt,oneside,pdftex,dvipsnames,a4paper]{article}<br>
? <br>
##########################<br>
<br>
I read somewhere that using eTeX should solve my problem of
counters! What am I doing wrong? <br>
<br>
Any help would be very much appreciated, <br>
