Document class problem?

Question

My text in thesis is as below:

%\documentclass[croppedpdf,pagebackref,showinstructions,showtodo]{adsphd}
%\documentclass[pagebackref,showinstructions,showtodo,showtodopriv,showlabels,biblatex,biber,biblatexstyle=authoryear]{adsphd}
%\documentclass[online]{adsphd}
%\documentclass[print]{adsphd}
\documentclass[pagebackref,showinstructions,showtodo,showtodopriv,showlabels,final,coverfontpercent=100]{adsphd}

When I compile, there is notification of documentclass problem, as shown below:

Command Line:

pdftex.exe --interaction=errorstopmode --synctex=-1 "thesis.tex"

Startup Folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\solomonge\Desktop\thesis

Error Message:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (MiKTeX 2.9)

! Undefined control sequence.

                  [pagebackref,showinstructions,showtodo,showtodopriv,showla...

What is the problem?

Welcome to TeX-sx! It looks like you've run pdftex rather than pdflatex. Only the latter knows LaTeX commands like \documentclass. I'll see if I can find a question covering this: we certainly have some. — Joseph Wright, May 24 '15 at 14:52
