The version of TeX in the DJGPP archive works on most TeX/LaTeX/AmSTeX
and Texinfo documents.  The latest source distribution of Web2c includes
PDFTeX that converts TeX sources to PDF directly.  I'm not sure if the
latest DJGPP build includes it.  An old version of PDFTeX for DJGPP 2.01
(circa 1997), from the days before it was rolled into the main
distribution, can be found at CTAN.

A lot of people uses DocBook, which unfortunately is not available in
binary form for DJGPP.
