How to compile simple pdfTeX file?
Running pdftex with specific map fileTexmaker and .pdftex file typeHow to use Distiller joboptions in pdfTeX?specials in pdftexHow should I display a png file using pdftexpdftex.def error - 'pdftex' requires pdfTexCompile filename.tex file to pdf on terminal`pdftex-def` obsolete - When updating MikTeX, I can't compileProblem Running pdfTeX File from local DirectoryPDFTeX Compile Time
I've been using XeLaTeX but I had to compile today using plain TeX engine. Someone advised to use pdfTeX but I ran into a problem. None of the code that I type compiles. First it was "undefined control sequence documentclass", then I figured out it's a LaTeX control sequence that wouldn't run with pdfTeX. When I type a word or two without control sequences of any kind, I get "entering extended mode" and it hangs. Observing how the TeXworks behaves, I suspect I won't get a pdf file generated and it adds to the problem because I need to see the output. But to begin with, I need to be able to compile correctly first so I would really appreciate if you provide a simple example of pdfTeX code that runs right away.
