BREAKING CHANGE: PDF output has been removed. If you want to create a PDF file, use the LaTeX format instead, and compile it on your own.

Checklist:

  • I have updated the manpages

As explained on Mastodon some months ago, maintaining the PDF generator has become harder and harder lastly, at the point it has become nearly impossible to get it work properly. Plus, it has a lot of drawbacks on Windows due to the necessity to install a huge LaTeX distribution to make it work.
For all these reasons, we're removing the PDF generator from Kosmorro. Users who want to generate a PDF can still use the LaTeX output with --format=tex and then compile it on their own with TeXLive (Windows, Linux, Mac) or MiKTeX (Windows).
Note that new output format are planned, notably HTML (#349) and OpenDocument (#217)
