<p>It is extremely likely that an apparently executable image called
"pdflatex" is, in fact, merely an instance of pdftex that has
pre-loaded the LaTeX format. You can get the effect of pdflatex
by using <br>

<ul>
<li>pdftex &latex</li>
</ul>
<p>(tho' pdftex might need some additional qualifier to indicate
that it should be launched in initex mode).</p>

<div dir="auto">Hi, dear texlive. I was wondering how can i build
pdflatex, a latex compiler for pdf. Even if i built my tl with
./configure --enable-all-pkgs, under texk/web2c there is no
pdflatex, only pdftex and some other tools. How is it that i can
find this only in debian repository and cant build it myself? I
have acctually downloaded the source texlive-full from the repo
and i dont seem to know how to do anything with it. Thanks in
advance.<br>
