<p dir="auto">I am trying to use pandoc via an n8n execute command node to generate a pdf with $variables$ from a latex template.</p>
<p dir="auto">However we get this error <code>pdflatex not found. Please select a different --pdf-engine or install pdflatex</code>.<br />
I've tested with other engines: xelatex, lualatex, tectonic, latexmk and they don't work either. Am I missing something obvious about another way to go from latex -&gt; pdf ?</p>
<p dir="auto">If not, could we get a latex engine (preferrably pdflatex) installed / added to the Dockerfile?<br />
It would greatly enhance the abilities to use pandoc</p>
<p dir="auto">I've also reviewed the prior forum posts to make sure I'm not missing anything:</p>
