My knowledge of LaTeX is minimal, so I didn't configured any template to
generate my LaTeX file (I am using the stable build for 4.0).
The .tex file is generated from Pillar code and I don't know what template
is using. I just evaluated:
Pharo.exe Pillar.image export --to=latex BioPharo.pier
I will be happy to make it work for now, but it would be much better if
anyonce could modify the generated .tex with needed packages so they are
included by default in the .tex file and users like me can work with Pillar
in an easier way.

I will try to add it or switch to Linux, but as I said above if anyone with
better knowledge of Pillar could check with the Pillar build it would be
really cool :)

It's ok, I was talking about the text appearance like fonts and code

I asked Cyril to work on integrating what's currently in Bash scripts
inside Pillar itself (e.g.,, iterating over input files, generating pdf
from latex). This should make porting much easier (as well as creating
new Pillar-based projects).

this one is related to a missing latex package in your latex template.
Add this to your LaTeX template (or use the default template Pillar
provides or use the template from
https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/EnterprisePharo/)
\usepackage{booktabs}
>> For notes (i.e. @@note )
>>
>> ! LaTeX Error: Environment note undefined.

>> l.178 \begin{note}
each time you use @@, the LaTeX document will contain a
\begin{}. This means you have to create the environments you need.
So, if you write @@note in your Pillar document, you must add something
like this to your LaTeX template:
\newenvironment{note}{\begin{center}\begin{minipage}{8cm}\hrule\vspace{0.2cm}
\textbf{Note:}}{\vspace{0.3cm}\hrule\end{minipage}\end{center}}
Look here for what we use in EnterprisePharo:

Hi!
We know that Pillar is not easy to use on Windows and we need to improve
that, but for now we have a lot of work to do with Pillar and not enough
time to do it.
Using MinGW is only a temporary solution.

This one is normal. We changed the way extensions was generated because
the previous way wasn't right. When we export a .tex to a .pdf we don't
want to have a file .tex.pdf, so when we want to export a .pillar to a
.tex we don't want to get a .pillar.pdf!
So we changed that.
> Now I am the only one generating PDF with Pillar in Windows?
I do it but I use some script with MinGW for now or I use Pillar
directly from Pharo because the windows environment is not good for now.

Thank you Ben for taking the time to read. Do you (or anyone) mind to share which command do you use to convert from Pillar generated .tex to .pdf in Linux or OS/X?
