109+## How can I convert PDFs to other formats using pandoc?
110+
111+You can't. You can try opening the PDF in Word or Google Docs
112+and saving in a format from which pandoc can convert directly.
113+
114+## Do I really need to install a 1 GB TeX installation to produce a PDF using pandoc?
115+
116+No. You can get by with a relatively small TeX installation,
117+for example, by starting with MacTeX's Basic TeX distribution
118+and using the `tlmgr` tool to install a few packages required by pandoc
119+(see https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#creating-a-pdf).
120+
121+Or, you can produce PDFs via HTML and `wkhtmltopdf`,
122+or via groff ms and `pdfroff`. (These don't produce as nice
123+topography as TeX, particularly when it comes to math, but they
124+may be fine for many purposes.)
