You have to install xpdf and rst2pdf.

Then:

M-x rst-compile-pdf-preview

and how do I install xpdf and rst2pdf on emacs? – RenatoP Aug 02 '22 at 13:44
You don't - you install them on MacOSX. – NickD Aug 02 '22 at 13:46
You have to install them on your os. – djangoliv Aug 02 '22 at 13:52
pip install rst2pdf ? or something else? – RenatoP Aug 02 '22 at 13:55
You need to learn how to install packages on your system (and that is *NOT* an emacs question). You should ask such questions on a MacOSX forum. – NickD Aug 02 '22 at 14:05
yes you can install rst2pdf with pip – djangoliv Aug 02 '22 at 14:29

ok, I think I've solved.

I've installed rst2pdf going over the error I've received. Maybe I’ve not installed the last version of PIP. I’ve toke information here: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/install-pip-mac

I've installed the last version of PIP and all goes well.
