pdfTeX è un'estensione del programma di composizione TeX sviluppato da Donald Knuth, ed è stato originariamente scritto da Hàn Thế Thành come parte del lavoro per la sua tesi di dottorato presso la Facoltà di Informatica dell'Università Masaryk di Brno (Repubblica Ceca). L'idea di creare questa estensione di TeX era però stata concepita all'inizio degli anni novanta, quando Jiří Zlatuška e Phil Taylor discussero alcune idee di sviluppo con Knuth alla Stanford University. Knuth in seguito incontrò Hàn Thế Thành a Brno durante la sua visita alla Facoltà di scienze informatiche, dove era andato per ricevere un dottorato honoris causa dall'Università di Masaryk.
