Remark: ======= These instructions were take from the KOMA-Script distribution. If you find instructions there stating "KOMA-Script" exchange that with "pdfcprot" -- I just forgot to adjust it. ;-) Installation ============ Preamble: --------- This manual is only for use with TeX installations using TDS. Examples of those TeX installations are teTeX and MikTeX. If you are not sure, search about a directory named `texmf'. Perhaps there are more lots of directories named `texmf'. At unix you may find `/usr/texmf' (or `/usr/share/texmf'), `/usr/local/texmf' (or `/usr/local/share/texmf') and several users with `~/texmf' (`texmf' at the home directory of several users). At windows with MikTeX this is often `\texmf' or `\Miktex' and `\localtexmf'. One of these is the primary texmf tree of the package manager (`/usr/texmf' or `/usr/share/texmf', with MikTeX `\texmf' or `\Miktex'). This was created at the installation of your TeX distribution. One of these is the system texmf tree (`/usr/local/texmf' or `/usr/local/share/texmf', with MikTeX `\localtexmf'). If you are administrator use this texmf tree to install pdfcprot. If you install pdfcprot as normal user, you have to ask your administrator, where to install pdfcprot. You can also ask texmf.cfg, if you can use a local texmf tree at your HOME directory. Short: - Do NOT install pdfcprot at the primary texmf tree of the package manager (e.g. if you're using MikTeX not at `\texmf' oder `\Miktex'). - If you are administrator, install pdfcprot at the system texmf tree. - If you are normal user, use the texmf tree of your HOME directory or "Own Files" at windows or ask your administrator. In the following `.../texmf' is used for your texmf tree. If you are using windows and the explorer or DOS-prompt, you have also replace every slash (`/') by backslash (`\'). At TeX itself you're using still slash for directory separation. Installation: ------------- At Unix you may edit a `Makefile' called copy of `Makefile.unx', set variable TEXMF to your texmf tree, save Makefile and call make. If no error occurs, you can do the installation with `make install' subsequently. If you don't use Unix or don't like Makefile, do this: 1. Copy all files of pdfcprot bundle to a new directory and change to this directory. 2. Call LaTeX with filename pdfcprot.ins. At Unix just say: latex pdfcprot.ins This may be done at windows, too. If LaTeX tells you some files already existing, DO NOT overwrite them, yet. Inform yourself, which files are newer, the one you want to install or the already installed. Afterwards call LaTeX again an overwrite older files - and only older - by newer. 3. Copy all generated files ending `.sty' and all files ending `.cpa' into the directory `.../texmf/tex/latex/pdfcprot'. If there isn't a directory named `.../texmf/tex/latex/pdfcprot', create it. (Remember! This is `\localtexmf\tex\latex\pdfcprot' at MikTeX.) 4. Maybe you have to inform your TeX distribution about the newly installed files. Using teTeX you have to call `texhash', using MikTeX this is `Refresh Filename Database'. At fpTeX there is also an entry at windows start button. Ask the manual of your distribution or your administrator. 5. Read the documentation of pdfcprot. If you don't know l2short and usrguide, read them also before reading it. Have a nice day, even if you don't understand my `something-like-english'!
