org-pandoc-makefile - convert org files to pdf
Original blogpost: Makefile for pandoc org to pdf
The blog post introduces a minimal BSD Makefile that converts Org files into PDFs using Pandoc and XeLaTeX. It highlights the advantage of BSD make on macOS, which works without requiring GNU make. The Makefile supports building all PDFs in a directory or specific targets while allowing customization of fonts and language settings. Key troubleshooting tips cover missing fonts, outdated files, and filename limitations.
The post also explains advanced usage by embedding metadata in Org files for finer control over PDF output.
