tex2pdf only automates the procedure needed to run pdflatex on a file ready to be processed by plain latex, and using the graphicx package: - convert eps to pdf, or use existing pngs, jpgs aor pdfs if available - adds hyperref commands to make the pdf hypertexted It works in temp files, so that you keep your original latex files intact (this is more useful with latex than with lyx). So if you know hyperref commands and translate your graphics by hand you will get the same result using latex/ps2pdf, pdflatex and tex2pdf (but for possible ugly graphics coming from bitmap eps graphics). tex2pdf gives a basic hyperref config (link colors, bookmarks, thumbnails...) but you may add Uwe's commands through the config file or on the command line. In addition, it runs all needed pdflatex passes to get the final result, including makeindex runs. The doc is resident in the config procedure in fact, you are supposed to understand what it does from the questions it asks :-). Raeding the plain parts of the Perl code may be useful as well :-)) -- Jean-Pierre
