paper-compile

To compile a LaTeX paper into a submission-ready PDF, latexmk runs iterative compile passes with your chosen LaTeX engine, automatically diagnosing and repairing build errors or broken references from compile logs until a clean PDF is generated.

LaTeX compilation fails with undefined citations and BibTeX syntax issues due to incomplete reference resolution or formatting mistakes, which automated iterative repair loops can detect from compile logs and fix through targeted recompilation attempts.

To verify your paper meets venue page limits and font embedding rules for arXiv or NeurIPS, post-build validation checks the generated PDF existence, confirms page counts against venue rules, and inspects font embedding to reduce rejection risk.

Yes, you can use different LaTeX engines like xelatex, lualatex, or pdflatex for automated document compilation, as the process requires selecting a chosen LaTeX engine to run with latexmk for generating the final PDF output.

The best way to resolve missing packages and missing figures during a LaTeX build is error log driven diagnosis, which reads compile logs to identify specific missing files and applies targeted fixes within an iterative recompilation loop.

If your LaTeX document still has undefined references after multiple compile attempts, the iterative repair loop stops once it reaches the maximum compile attempts limit, leaving the remaining undefined references highlighted in the final post-build validation report.
