Dear Frank,

I am very grateful for your quick answer, and I confirm that this work on your
test file on my system, but it does not work with my file:

$ cat plaintest.tex
\ifx\pdfoutput\undefined
\else
   \pdfoutput = 1
\fi
hallo
\bye

But this is probably a bug in my file and not with pdftex.
Sorry for the trouble.

Cheers,

Bug#660254: texlive-binaries: pdftex -output-format dvi is ignored

2012-02-17 Thread Bill Allombert 
Package: texlive-binaries
Version: 2009-11
Severity: normal

Hello Debian TeX Maintainers,

pdftex man page say:

   -output-format format
  Set the output format mode, where format must be either pdf or 
dvi.   This  also
  influences the set of graphics formats understood by pdfTeX.

However 'pdftex -output-format dvi' actually produces a .pdf file.

Cheers,
