How do we install pdflatex

How can we install pdflatex as a dependency of a file conversion program which fails running and aborts with message:

pdflatex not found. Please select a different --pdf-engine

Re: How do we install pdflatex

Have you read Pacman#Search_for_a_package_that_contains_a_specific_file
Also did you check the optional dependencies for the package providing this unnamed file conversion program?
Edit:
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/blob/2.14 … or.hs#L112
The pandoc package optdepends contains: 'texlive-core: for pdf output'
