That is an interesting thought. I don't think I have downloaded LaTex
explicitly, however, I do have MikTex and I added that file to PATH
manually.
This is what my current PATH calls:

I have been able to generate a PDF of my package by entering :
tools::texi2pdf(file = "avfintools.Rcheck/avfintools-manual.tex")
on the console.
Is there a way to submit the manual manually rather than have it
compiled? Or is it a requirement for the manual to be able to be
compiled from the package?
The latter, but the mechanism works on CRAN, so you do not ned to worry
about that.

Thanks for your help,

Or the env var PATH is overwritten once R get started, perhaps you have
it in one of the files R process it at startup?
Does Sys.getenv("PATH") show the pat to the LaTeX binary?
