needed for SiSU  to generate pdfs (primarily related to LaTeX),
sisu_pdf being part of SiSU  - man sisu).

		sisu -pv [filename/wildcard]   creates two pdf documents:
vertical (portrait.pdf) and; horizontal (landscape.pdf). SiSU 
generates LaTeX output which is converted to pdf if the appropriate
LaTeX dependencies are met on the system.
	 
	12 
 
	
		sisu -pv --papersize-a4 [filename/wildcard]   overrides the
default papersize set to A4. Preset alternative sizes include: 'A4',
U.S. 'letter' and 'legal' and book sizes 'A5' and 'B5' (system defaults
to A4).
