Ah, the famous PDF export bug... If that's what I think it is, then I may have had the same issue. Just to check, but you're using the latest release (1.0.7.16 if I'm not mistaken), right?

Also, does TeXmacs generate a .PDF file with PostScript content (which of course is wrong, but I believe this was fixed somewhat), or huge real PDF file with garbled images?

   - If the former, do you have GhostScript and all the dependencies installed? Versions?
   - If the latter, there's a patch available for that bug, and I hope I can make things move and get it integrated with the next release in one way or another!

Cheers,
François-Xavier

Hi all,

The current Mac OS X version doens't generate any PDF files when I
select File->Export-PDF. I have to export to PS and then use ps2pdf. I
had the same issue with an earlier Windows version (before 1.7).

Is it a bug or do I need to install something else? It probably just
need a small fix but I think this function needs to work out of box.
It is likely to scare new users away when they found that this doesn't
work.

I'm not new user and I know how good TeXmacs is, so I'm staying with
it any way ;-)
