Character protrusion in pdftex-pretest-1.00a uses the same values as 
version 0.14h and newer. There is an updatetd version of protcote.tex on CTAN 
in CTAN:tex-archive/systems/pdftex/ext/, but this version contains a bug in 
the \adjustprotcode macro which prevents it from recognizing versions >0.14. 
Replacing the definition of \adjustprotcode with the following code will fix 
the problem.


\def\adjustprotcode#1{%
    \needadjustprotcodefalse
   \ifnum\pdftexversion > 13
        \ifnum \expandafter`\pdftexrevision > `g
            \needadjustprotcodetrue
         \else\ifnum\pdftexversion > 14
            \needadjustprotcodetrue
      \fi\fi
   \fi
    \ifneedadjustprotcode
        \@tempcnta=0
        \loop
            \ifcase\lpcode#1\@tempcnta\else
                \adjustcp\lpcode#1\@tempcnta
            \fi
            \ifcase\rpcode#1\@tempcnta\else
                \adjustcp\rpcode#1\@tempcnta
            \fi
            \advance\@tempcnta 1
        \ifnum\@tempcnta < 256 \repeat
    \fi
}


Yours sincerely
