Hello,
I was reading about the history of ConTeXt in the Not So Short Introduction
To ConTeXt and I have a historical question. I noticed that the PDF
specification was published in 1993 yet ConTeXt was invented in 1991. The
book suggests that PDF output was handled by the PdfTeX engine in MKII in
2005. What sort of output did the software produce before PdfTeX was
introduced? Was this the same as the output produced by the software before
the publication of the PDF specification?
Kind regards,
Riviera
she, her, hers
