Imagine you generate a figure in a Mathematica notebook to insert into a PDF. Imagine needing to change the image and update our PDF. You would need to re-run your Mathematica code, then re-run LaTeX. This is the sort of nightmarish scenario that never needs to happen again.

create the PDF files.
I’ve had a few occasions to use project structures that involved multiple independent sections of a
LaTeX document, with individual .pdf files for each section, while retaining the ability to create a complete .pdf
for the entire project. This series will be about making that possible, while adding automation to handle external data
and results in a way that’s easy to use.
