    Hello,

    I am trying to use pandoc via an n8n execute command node to generate a pdf with $variables$ from a latex template.

    However we get this error pdflatex not found. Please select a different --pdf-engine or install pdflatex.
    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 -> pdf ?

    If not, could we get a latex engine (preferrably pdflatex) installed / added to the Dockerfile?
    It would greatly enhance the abilities to use pandoc

    I've also reviewed the prior forum posts to make sure I'm not missing anything:

    • https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/6847/pandoc?loggedin=true
    • https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/12736/adding-apt-dependencies-to-n8n-app-or-any-other-app/3
    • and reviewed how pandoc is installed via dockerfile: https://git.cloudron.io/packages/n8n-app/-/blame/master/Dockerfile#L18
