There seem to have n number of ways of reaching pdf. And even
more number of pages on the net releated to pdf conversion.I
have few doubts.
1. Are pdfTeX and pdfLateX equivalent ?
2. What about ps4pdf and its utility ?
3. a) Whats the most safe/easy of way making a (type-1) pdf from LaTeX ?
b) If there are figures are in pstricks/xfig ?
A brief discussion on this issue will be very helpful to
many of us.
Thanks again for those nice tips/macros.
