How to produce a PDF with pdflatex from a .tex generated with pandoc

How to produce a PDF with pdflatex from a .tex generated with pandoc

Hi, I am using pandoc 2.7.3

I have a .docx source file exported from Google Doc.

I want to generate a .PDF from a .TEX generated from the .DOCX

I'd like to be equal to the .PDF generated from the .DOCX

This is because I want to reduce the font-size at the middle of the 
document.

So far, I am not able to have the same .PDF when running twice the pandoc 
command:

1. to produce the .tex
2. to produce the .docx from .tex

is different than

1. .docx converted directly to .pdf


How can I ensure that the .pdf from the .tex is identical to the .pdf 
produced directly from .docx?

You shouldn't expect to get identical output.  See the
introduction to the user's manual:

"Because pandoc’s intermediate representation of a document is
less expressive than many of the formats it converts between, one
should not expect perfect conversions between every format and
every other. Pandoc attempts to preserve the structural elements
of a document, but not formatting details such as margin size.
And some document elements, such as complex tables, may not fit
into pandoc’s simple document model. While conversions from
pandoc’s Markdown to all formats aspire to be perfect,
conversions from formats more expressive than pandoc’s Markdown
can be expected to be lossy."

Font size falls into this category of formatting details.

It would be impossible to use TeX or LaTeX to generate a PDF that looks 
identical to one generated by a word processor for any DOCX file.

If you simply want to print a Word document to a PDF, you can do so from 
the word processor.

If you are looking for a command-line solution, it looks as though there 
are options [1-2].

If you need an automated process for reformatting a Word document, then you 
would need to consider macros running in the word processor, or some 
similar tool than can run externally.

Also, I'm not sure what exactly you're describing in terms of resizing 
certain text, but is it possible that you can do it using document styles?
