DVIDPFM translates DVI to PDF format.
- TeX specials that approximate the functionality of the PostScript pdfmarks used by Adobe Acrobat Distiller. This means that links, outlines, articles, and named destinations are all supported.
- Support for standard DVI specials such as the HyperTeX specials and the TPIC specials.
- Support for thumbnails with the help of GhostScript.
- Ability to include PDF, PNG, and JPEG files as embedded images. For PDF files, just the first page is included, and resources are embedded from the original file as necessary. Note that file inclusion doesn't work for PDF files that store the page contents in several segments in an array.
- Virtual font support and support for both Type1 and PK fonts.
- Support for arbitrary linear graphics transformations. This means that any material on the page can be scaled and rotated.
- A color stack accessible via specials.
- Partial font embedding and stream compression for reduced output file size.
- Balanced page and destination trees for improved reader access on very large document files.
In the latest release, version 0.13.2d, a bug fix has been made for problems with the date in the PDF file. The date code was simply wrong and caused a segmentation fault for time zones with half-hour offsets. Additionally, a patch to the man page has been suggested by Eric Raymond.
