Creating PDF Files from LaTeX

Step 1:

Log into your Unity account using your Unity ID and Password.

Step 2:

At the Unity% prompt, type in add tetex and then press the Enter key.

Step 3:

Next type pico etd.tex and press Enter.

Step 4:

Create the etd.tex file using the following format and save it when you are finished working on it:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\begin{document}

The body of your document goes here.

You can type in plain text just like this
using a blank line for each new paragraph.

\end{document}

If you are going to use special characters in the etd.tex file, see A Typical LaTeX Input File.

Step 5:

Once the etd.tex file is complete, at the Unity% prompt type latex etd.tex and press Enter. This outputs the file etd.dvi

Step 6:

Next type dvips- Ppdf etd.dvi and press Enter. This outputs the file etd.ps.

Step 7:

At the Unity% prompt type add acrobat and press Enter. Next type distill etd.ps. This outputs the file etd.pdf

Step 8:

Open the etd.pdf file using acroexch etd.pdf. Here you can combine multiple PDF files and optimize your PDF files for the web.

Step 9:

Carefully review your etd.pdf file for mistakes.
