+Dvipdfm is a DVI to PDF translator. Its features include:
+
+o TeX \special's that approximate the functionality of the PostScript pdfmarks
+ used by Adobe Acrobat Distiller. Links, outlines, articles, and named
+ destinations are supported, for example.
+o Support for standard DVI specials such as the HyperTeX specials and the TPIC
+ specials.
+o Support for thumbnails (with help from GhostScript).
+o Ability to include PDF, PNG, and JPEG files as embedded images. For PDF
+ files, only the first page is included. Resources will be embedded from the
+ original file as necessary. File inclusion does not work for PDF files that
+ store the page contents in several segments in an array.
+o Virtual font support
+o Support for both Type1 and PK fonts.
+o Support for arbitrary linear graphics transformations. Any material on the
+ page can be scaled and rotated.
+o A color stack accessible via \special's.
+o Partial font embedding and stream compression for reduced output file size
+o Balanced page and destination trees for improved reader access on very large
+ document files.
