Necessary software: To edit and create LaTeX files you need to download software appropriate for your operating system. Warning: These are huge downloads (up to 2 gb).
Each of these software packages contains everything you need to get started using LaTeX files. For more information on LaTeX files see the LaTeX User Group's LaTeX Introduction.
Editing your LaTeX Exam: When you use the Exam Generator, you receive a download or email containing Latex files in a zip package. Save this to your desktop and unzip it. Open the master.tex file and typeset to view your exam. Be sure that your typesetting engine is set to pdftex.
- Edit the header by changing entries in the examinfo.tex file.
