[OpenStack-docs] Where does pdflatex see 'os-doc-demo.tex'?

Hello Anne,

I think you want to generate a PDF for "os-doc-demo" which is in 
openstackdocstheme :)

In my opinion, the problem is that pdflatex command cannot be found when
make command is being executed, since the error message looks that 
pdflatex command
cannot be found, not os-doc-demo.tex command cannot be found.

1. Please check whether os-doc-demo.tex file exists or not in
doc/build/pdf folder. It should exist after executing sphinx-build
: 
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/openstackdocstheme/tree/tox.ini#n28

2. Would you let me know where pdflatex command locates in your mac 
environment?
Building PDFs on Mac environment was fine when I tested with mactex package
directly downloaded from https://www.tug.org/mactex/ .


With many thanks,

/Ian
