That is not the point; I need pdflatex for other things not shown in the samll
sample.

What is the point? pstricks is using the language postscript. So you
need the way latex-ps-pdf. The link of pluto shows you a way how to use
pdflatex with using pstricks.
An example of the site is the package pst-pdf.
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{pst-pdf}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(-5.25,-5.25)(5.25,5.25)%
\pscircle*[linecolor=cyan]{5}
\psgrid[subgriddiv=0,gridcolor=lightgray,gridlabels=0pt]
\Huge\sffamily\bfseries
\rput(-4.5,4.5){A} \rput(4.5,4.5){B}
\rput(-4.5,-4.5){C}\rput(4.5,-4.5){D}
\rput(0,0){pst-pdf}
\rmfamily
\rput(0,-3.8){PSTricks}
\rput(0,3.8){\LaTeX}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}
with the introduction to run:
latex <file.tex>
dvips -Ppdf -o <file-pics.ps> <file.dvi>
ps2pdf -dAutoRotatePages=/None <file-pics.ps> <file-pics.pdf>
pdflatex <file.tex>

yes, you should re-read the link.

Not directly. PS stands for PostScript: PSTricks uses the programmable
features of PostScript that do not exist in PDF, so it is only for
producing PostScript output via .dvi files. But you can do just that,
and then convert the resulting PostScript to PDF with ps2pdf. There *is*
a PDFTricks, but I don't know if it has the same range of features as
PSTricks.

or use tikz, which I prefer anyway (my preference is not shared by
all)

that is exactly the point ...
However, if you run Linux, you can use pst2pdf instead of pdflatex.
The script does all converting of the PostScript related code
and you can use jpeg and png images as usual.

pdftricks is only a package which runs the PS code snippets
from within pdflatex via the -shell-escape option.

I should have described exactly what I am trying to: I need to create a single
pdf file with tooltips; the tooltips will be on points in a rather elaborate
plot created with PSTricks. So, I need PSTricks to get the drawing, but
pdflatex to get the tooltips (via cooltooltips). I would use fancytooltips,
but I need everything in a single pdf file.
So, what are my options?!

If you only need the tooltips and "comment boxes", but no hyperlinks,
you can also try pdfcomment.sty, which works also with the
latex->dvips->ps2pdf route.

use pst2pdf instead of latex, then the last run is always
a pdflatex one.

That looks like it would do what I want, but I need the "live" areas for the
tooltips to be objects defined in PSTricks terms (rectangular regions,
circles, lines, etc). How do I do that?

do you have small example file?
Herbert
Edward M. Reingold
HV> do you have small example file?
Something like this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-all}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(5,5)
\psgrid
\psframe*[linecolor=green](1,1) % Tooltip in this rectangle should say ``Origin''
\psframe*[linecolor=red](4,4)(5,5) % Tooltip in this rectangle should say
% ``Top right''
\pscircle*[linecolor=blue](1,4){1} % Tooltip in this circle should say
% ``Top left''
\psline[linewidth=3pt](0,2)(4,3) % Tooltip on this line should say ``Line''
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

sorry, I meant one which uses also tooltips.
This example is only PSTricks code

The problem is that I don't know how to get the tooltips I want! So, I cannot
craft an example. All I could do is describe the effect I want.

ok, I see. This is not possible with PSTricks because
the tooltips are part of the pspicture environment,
which itself is exported as an image and then reread
by pdflatex. But then it is too late for the tooltips

So you only need a tooltip, right? A while ago i played with an example
presented by Alexander Grahn. It works only with the
latex->dvips->ps2pdf route, but that doen't semm to be a problem in your
case! ;-)
Maybe it also works in your case:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\newcounter{tooltip}
\newcommand\tooltip[2]{%
% arg #1: text to put on the page
% arg #2: tooltip text
\pdfmark[#1]{
pdfmark=/ANN,
Subtype=/Widget,
Raw={
/TU (#2)/T (tooltip \thetooltip)
/FT/Btn/Ff 65536/H/N
}
}%
\stepcounter{tooltip}%
}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\begin{pspicture}(-2,-2)(2,2)
\psaxes(0,0)(-2,-2)(2,2)
\rput(1,1){{\tooltip{\textcolor{red}{$\bullet$}}{1,1}}}
\rput(-1,-1){{\tooltip{\textcolor{red}{$\bullet$}}{-1,-1}}}
\end{pspicture}
\end{center}
Das ist ein kleiner \tooltip{\textcolor{red}{Test}}{Das ist ein
Test-Tooltip!} im Text!
Das funktioniert natürlich auch mit Formeln:
\tooltip{\textcolor{red}{$y = \frac{a^3}{a^2 + x^2}$}}{Witch of Agnesi /
Versiera der Agnesi}

(I don't know if the diagram Ed posted was just super simple one or
not.) But most things you can do in pstricks you can also do in TikZ,
and if the cooltooltips is so necessary, it would probably be worth the
effort to try. Here's a version of what I think you want, Ed.
