I think that I making something wrong
 
in File Format, I put
Format Tkpdf
in short name tkpdf
in Extension pdf
 
In converter
Latex (plain) -> Tkpdf
from format:
Latex (plain)
to format:
Tkpdf
Converter:
dvipdf   $$i $$o
 
 
But neither tex or dvi files are generated.
 
 
In the pdf file I get
%PDF-1.7
%�쏢
%%Invocation: gs -q -P- -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sstdout=? -sOutputFile=? -
5 0 obj
<</Length 6 0 R/Filter /FlateDecode>>
stream
x�+T0�3T0A(����5Ieendstream
endobj
6 0 obj
23
 
and
dvips: ! Bad DVI file: first byte not preamble
