I've gradually blundered upon a number of useful pdflatex command line options from questions in this forum, but not all of these are documented (specifically the useful -file-line-error parameter). My command line now includes the following "goodies"

pdflatex -file-line-error -synctex=1 --max-print-line=1000 -interaction batchmode

Is there a better manual for the command line options than the url given? I am using MikTex 2.9 which matches the document url.

If this is the best that the docs get, are there more similar undocumented options that are commonly used and helpful?

    Note that the command line options depend on the distribution. The TeX Live binaries support a different set than MiKTeX, and that's just the two main distributions. However, these both seem to support the different spelling used by the other distribution. – Martin Scharrer May 28 '12 at 17:45

    texdoc pdflatex seems pretty good... – cmhughes May 28 '12 at 18:51
  • that doesn't work for me (although texdoc pdftex does). However, there's still nothing there for -file-line-error. – Peeter Joot May 28 '12 at 19:00

Calling pdftex -help helps on my system. Of course, this is just a short summary.
