Re: Using Latex to create PDFs

[Stroller <..hidden..>]

Please don't top-post in reply to a bottom-post. Top-post all you  
like if you're the first respondent to a thread and I would ask  
anyone replying to you not to bottom-post when they follow you. But  
mixing the two is more annoying and less legible than either.

I've fixed it for you:

Ok. So what's the problem? Isn't the email button showing up? Don't  
you get PDFs when you email the invoices to yourself?

Your one-line posts aren't helping me help you.

Did you ensure that your ledgersmb.conf reads as I showed above?

You can test to see if LaTeX is installed & working properly by  
grabbing a random .tex file off the next (Google has lots of  
examples: <http://www.google.com/search?as_qdr=all&q=filetype%3Atex>)  
and running `latex filename.tex && dvipdf filename.dvi`.
