Announcements Here you can see a respective diagram in newer browsers. 2010-11-24 CTAN tug.ctan.org update: pdftex user manual r655; 2008-08-18 CTAN Update: pdftex. Where do I get the pdflatex program for Mac? Please support me on Patreon: With thanks & praise to God, and wi. Bakomatex is a commercial product and mostly off-topic here. Back to miktex on a mac. Can you call pdflatex via a terminal? I figured it out - it turned out that there is (setenv 'PATH' 'C:/Users/user/') at the beginning of the.init file. Commented out this line and works fine now. It basically overwrote the windows environment PATH variable. Pdflatex -ini -jobname='preamble' '&pdflatex preamble.tex dump' in the command line. You will notice that a new file `preamble.fmt has been generated in the same directory, along with other auxiliary files. Edit the first line of main.tex so that it starts with%&preamble. Execute latex main.tex as usual: pdflatex -shell-escape main.tex.
