help with command to use latex template

[-william-]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1509 bytes --]

MacOS 12.2
TexShop v.4.68

I have a template.tex file created in the xelatex program. It is located at 
/.local/share/pandoc/templates/template.tex. I want pandoc to convert 
document.docx to document.pdf, using that template.tex. I can't get my 
commands to work. 

- ***command*** pandoc document.docx -f docx -t pdf 
 --pdf-engine=/Users/<home>/Library/TeXShop/Engines/xelatex.engine 
--template=/Users/<home>/.local/share/pandoc/templates/template.tex -o 
document.pdf
- ***result*** Error producing PDF.  ! End of file on the terminal... why?

- ***command*** pandoc document.docx -f docx -t pdf -o document.pdf 
--template=/Users/<home>/.local/share/pandoc/templates/template.tex 
--pdf-engine=xelatex
- ***result*** Error producing PDF. ! Latex Error: Missing \begin{document}.

- ***command*** pandoc document.docx --pdf-engine=xelatex -o document.pdf 
--template=/Users/<home>/.local/share/pandoc/templates/template.tex
- ***result*** Error producing PDF. ! Latex Error: Missing \begin{document}.

What command do I have to give pandoc to make the conversion?

Thanks in advance for help.

Re: help with command to use latex template

[Bastien DUMONT]

You get a TeX error, not a "file not found" one, so the problem lies in your template (maybe a brace that is not closed). After you have fixed it, don't forget to remove document.aux if it exists before launching the conversion again.

Note that the tex template that pandoc uses is *not* a normal .tex file. It's a template file with a format that's specific to pandoc. See <https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#template-syntax> for details.

That being said, using pandoc won't give you the most faithful conversion to pdf of your docx document. Word itself can convert to pdf and IIUC Acrobat can do so, as well. Using Powershell on Windows, it's also possible to script the conversion so you don't have to open the file in Word and convert manually.

But perhaps you already know all that and have good reasons to use Pandoc. :-)

Thanks, but I still need help. I created another template using the xelatex 
engine. Typeset console shows "preloaded format=xelatex."  I selected TeX 
and DVI to typeset it. There were no problems, and the PDF Viewer showed me 
exactly what I asked for. 

When I ask Pandoc to use ***my*** template--not pandoc's default 
template--it gives me an error , and states: You must change your 
typesetting engine to, e.g., "xelatex" or "lualatex" instead of "latex" or 
"pdflatex".

I ***did*** use xelatex; I did ***not*** use latex or pdflatex. So, it 
seems to me that Pandoc does not recognize my template. How do I get Pandoc 
to use my template?

Again, it is a TeX error, and it definitely says that you are not using xelatex. The template, in itself, does not determine what engine you use. Did you specify --pdf-engine=xelatex in the call for pandoc?

Bastien,

I made this call: pandoc 1Letter.docx -f docx -t pdf --pdf-engine=xelatex 
--template=/Users/<home>/.local/share/pandoc/templates/equity.tex -o 
3EELetter.pdf

In return, "Error producing PDF." Nothing more. I am going to post my 
template below, in reply to denis.

Thanks for helping.

In TexShop, menu item Typeset > Typeset. I added Lorem ipsum… after 
\begin{document}, selected Typeset, and it outputs a pdf in a TexShop 
viewer, so you can see what your document will look like.

Thanks for helping.

Bastien,

I made this call: pandoc 1Letter.docx -f docx -t pdf --pdf-engine=xelatex 
--template=/Users/<home>/.local/share/pandoc/templates/equity.tex -o 
3EELetter.pdf

In return, "Error producing PDF." Nothing more. I am going to post my 
template below, in reply to denis.

Thanks for helping.

This is a latex document (with no content), not a Pandoc template. Like I said before, they are not the same thing. Look at the documentation for Pandoc templates here:

https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#templates

My advise would be to print out Pandoc's default latex template with `pandoc -D latex > default.template` and modify that to suit your needs.
