looking for advices: markdown => latex => base64 pdf conversion

Hi, I'm looking for help because I have no clue on how to convert from 
markdown to latex to pdf (specifically in base 64).
In particular I don't understand wheter the pandoc cli is built to only 
generate pdf files or is also able to return in stdout the pdf in base 64 
without generating any additional file

I am understanding that

1. You want the PDF to stdout
2. You want it in base64 encoding.

There currently isn't a clean way to do 1, though there's an
open issue for this.
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/5751

For base64, just pipe through base64.

So this should work:

ln -s /dev/stdout stdout.pdf
pandoc myfile.md -o stdout.pdf | base64
