Far be it for me to try to define LaTeX, “a document preparation system”. There are 2 very common primary targets that LaTeX facilitates:
- Postscript
Be warned, installing LaTeX takes some time and it is a fairly big install.
- On Windows I would recommend Tex Live. I have found it to work reasonably well for my purposes.
- In Linux and Mac I recommend you check out the LaTeX groups recommendations: Getting LaTeX
The latex exporter itself does not need latex installed. You can run:
Org Export File As Latex
And the exporter will produce a .tex file next to your org file. That said, if you would like to produce a pdf directly from sublime you will need to setup a latex path:
"latex2Pdf": "C:\\texlive\\2021\\bin\\win32\\pdflatex.exe",
With this you should now be able to generate pdf files from your org files.
