Re: Trouble with pdftex compilation related to Ppower4

probably an incompatibility of foiltex (foils.cls) and hyperref:
workaround (in the preamble of your file):

makeatletter
\providecommand*{\@hyperfixhead}{}
\makeatother

see also: http://dante.ctan.org/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref/README
---------
foiltex
-------
   Update to version 2008/01/28 v2.1.4b:
   Since version 6.77a hyperref does not hack into \@begindvi,
   it uses package `atbegshi' instead, that hooks into \shipout.
   Thus the patch of `foils.cls' regarding hyperref is now obsolete
   and causes an undefined error message about \@hyperfixhead.
   This is fixed in FoilTeX 2.1.4b.
