Temporary Feature Impact – LaTeX/PDF Generation Disabled

As part of a temporary security mitigation, LaTeX-based PDF generation has been disabled in Indico. During this period, the following features will be unavailable:

  • PDF generation for event materials

    • Book of Abstracts

    • Book of Proceedings

    • Timetables exported as PDF

  • Printable versions of content

    • Printable event agendas/timetables

    • Printable contribution/session listings

  • Badge and materials generation (if configured via LaTeX)

    • Conference badges generated via LaTeX templates

    • Certain custom print templates

  • Any plugin or feature relying on LaTeX rendering

    • Custom PDF templates using LaTeX

    • Advanced formatting exports

What is not affected:

  • Web view of all events, timetables, and contributions

  • Data exports (CSV, Excel, etc.)

  • Submission, registration, and review workflows

This is a temporary change. Full PDF/LaTeX functionality will be restored once the system is upgraded to a secure, containerized LaTeX setup.

If you require specific materials during this period, please contact the support team.
