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.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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@sha256:cf92e9e088dffea0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260701.599cc4d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
