German hyphenation patterns are included with teTeX. `pdftex' is included for direct PDF output. More generally, you can do DVI->PostScript conversion with the `dvips' packaged with teTeX, then do PostScript->PDF conversion with the ps2pdf utility that comes with GhostScript. (Note that if you use GhostScript 5.x instead of 6.x, it will mangle any scalable fonts and produce all but unreadable files.)
