I freshly installed LaTeX on my computer using the ProTeXt
bundle. I was able to install everything smoothly, but the program TexStudio
didn't auto-configure, like the manual said it would. Using Options>>Configure TexStudio>>Commands
I was able to set pointers to most commands, except for dvipdf
. I have three choices with regards to the executable for dvipdf
(listed in the title of this question). Which one should I choose?
Short answer: dvipdfmx
.
Longer answer: dvipdfmx
is an extension of dvipdfm
, enabling access to more PDF-specific features. As such, it implements a superset of the features of dvipdfm
, and is more powerful. dvipdft
is a tool to use dvipdfm
to make thumbnails (according to texdoc dvipdft
). As such, it's not what you want at all!

5BTW, in current TeXLive,
dvipdfm
isdvipdfmx
running in a compatibility mode. – Khaled Hosny Sep 23 '12 at 22:48 -
4There is
dvipdf
that's part of the Ghostscript distribution, but it's surely inferior todvipdfmx
