Generate a PDF from Markdown files with Pandoc

Generate a PDF from a Markdown file with Pandoc

Easy Steps For Mac OS

  1. Have Homebrew installed and a markdown file you want to render to PDF.
  2. Install Pandoc brew install pandoc
  3. Install basictex brew cask install basictex - needed for the pdflatex tool.
  4. Symlink the pdflatex to your /usr/local/bin so pandoc can easily find it. ln -s /Library/TeX/Root/bin/x86_64-darwin/pdflatex /usr/local/bin/pdflatex
  5. Use Pandoc to generate a PDF from a Markdown file. pandoc input.md -o output.pdf
  • By default the margins are pretty large. To optionally change the margins: pandoc input.md -o output.pdf -V geometry:margin=1in
