The page https://ctan.org/pkg/pdftex has links to samplepdftex.tex and
pdftex-a.pdf. Some questions about these files:
1) I can't find them inside my install of Miktex. Why doesn't an update
of Miktex result in installing these files on my computer?
2) To generate a version of pdftex-a.pdf on letter-sized pages, I looked
for pdftex.tex, but could not find it. Where is the source for
pdftex-a.pdf?
3) I downloaded samplepdftex.tex and attempted to generate a pdf, but
got the error shown below. How can this be fixed or is samplepdftex.tex
not meant to be compiled into a pdf?
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.21 (MiKTeX 20.6.29 32-bit)
