Let's see: I called the RMakeRmd function of the Nvim-R plugin on an R markdown document. This vim function calls some R functions that prepare a markdown document with embedded tex code. This is then processed by pandoc -- latex-engine pdflatex --output document.tex --template my_template.tex. This is the reason why I said I tried to processed a tex document - I think what happens is that pandoc uses pdflatex internally on some document.tex to produce the pdf that is the result of the process. I should also mention that I had run tlmgr init-usertree presumably because I am using a private tex style from /home/user/texmf. I'll happily dig further if you need more details.
