In Linux systems, there are various tools available for generating PDF files, including:

  1. LibreOffice: You can create documents using applications such as Writer in the LibreOffice suite, and export them as PDF files.
  2. Pandoc is a command-line tool that can convert various document formats into PDF files.
  3. wkhtmltopdf is a command line tool that can convert HTML documents into PDF files.
  4. LaTeX is a typesetting system that allows you to create documents using LaTeX language and generate PDF files.
  5. Inkscape is a vector graphics editor that allows users to create graphics and export them as PDF files.

These tools can all be installed through package managers. For example, on Debian/Ubuntu systems, you can use the apt command to install them, while on CentOS/RHEL systems, you can use the yum command. Specific installation steps and usage instructions can be found in each tool’s official documentation, or by entering the command followed by the –help parameter in the terminal.
