pdflatex skillA
pdflatex is agent-read markdown (skill) from openhands/extensions: Install and use pdflatex to compile LaTeX documents into PDFs on Linux. Use when generating academic papers, research publications, or any documents written in LaTeX..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
PdfLatex is a tool that converts Latex sources into PDF. This is specifically very important for researchers, as they use it to publish their findings. It could be installed very easily using Linux terminal, though this seems an annoying task on Windows. Installation commands are given below. * Install the TexLive base ``` apt-get install texlive-latex-base ``` On Windows, install MiKTeX or TeX Live with the native installer or a package manager such as `winget`. The `apt-get` commands only work in Linux or WSL. * Also install the recommended and extra fonts to avoid running into errors, when trying to use pdflatex on latex files with more fonts. ``` apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra ``` * Install the extra packages, ``` apt-get install texlive-latex-extra ``` Once installed as above, you may be able to create PDF files from latex sources using PdfLatex as below. ``` pdflatex latex_source_name.tex ``` Ref: http://kkpradeeban.blogspot.com/2014/04/installing-latexpdflatex-on-ubuntu.html

How to install
mdr add openhands/extensions/pdflatex@git:20260701.599cc4dmdr add openhands/extensions/pdflatex@sha256:cf92e9e088dffea0Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
