a) PublishPDF is overkill. b) PublishPDF is hosted externally. c) PublishPDF "exports to XML and uses a server which converts to LaTeX and then to PDF" d) It doesn't provide me control of the output. I want: a) A simpler solution, for simpler documents b) Using built-in conversion features c) Without the need of an intermediate format and without the need of an external server d) Producing LaTeX output, which I can choose to publish to PDF according to my own specifications. As an advanced LaTeX users, there is a lot I could do with a document marked in LaTeX, producing very professionally looking documents. I even consider using xelatex instead of pdflatex to be able to use system fonts instead of LaTeX fonts. PublishPDF is a black box. I cannot customise it.
