Hi.. I have written a lot of latex in widows with compiling help from the program Technic center. Now i'am running FC4 and dont know how to 'tex-to-pdf'. Any good suggestions?
thx
Open Office Writer(at leas the 2.0 Novell Edition) has a pdf button bult right in. So all you have to do is open the file, click the button, and wham, you are done. Text, Spreadsheet,Presentation, anything readable by OO is made into PDF.
1) pdftex from tex source code to pdf
2) latex to produce a dvi output and then use dvipdf
I prefer the second method. If you used TeXnicentre with Miktex then if I recall well the second mehtod was used to produce the pdf file. If you want a Texnicentre look-like tex editor then have a look to kile.
