The That's because as of teTeX 3.0, `latex' *is* pdftex (well, really it's pdfelatex, the e-TeX version of pdftex). Your problem is that your definition of \ifpdf in preamble.tex is relying on \pdfoutput being undefined whenever PDF is not being generated; but now that PDF-eTeX running in DVI-generation mode is doing the work, \pdfoutput is *always* defined. The correct fix is to \usepackage{ifpdf} and rely on it to define \ifpdf. (Well, you could extract the \ifpdf definition from that; it's got an extra else branch in it, effectively. But there's little point: any LaTeX new enough to have this problem will also have ifpdf.tex.) > I assume pdfetex (which is > actually called by latex) detects some pdf specials and switches to > pdf mode. Yes, and it does that because your \ifpdf is misfiring. -- `We're sysadmins.
