Using overleaf, I've written a paper which uses the package pst-poker. XeLaTeX compiles it without errors, however pdfLatex compilation is problematic.

How can I use the package with pdfLatex?

The pst-poker package (and all packages with the pst- prefix) uses PSTricks and therefore must be compiled with latex + dvips or xelatex. They will not work with pdflatex or lualatex.

For more details on why this is the case see:

  • what is the best practice when tying to upload a paper that use pst-poker to arXiv? arXiv accept only La)TeX, AMS(La)TeX, PDFLaTeX – Cohensius Dec 09 '19 at 14:00

    @Cohensius Checking the arXiv website, it makes a distinction between LaTeX and pdfLaTeX, and you should be able to use LaTeX to compile with PSTricks. – Alan Munn Dec 09 '19 at 14:02
