Hi @chaieb-adel,

Unfortunately we don't currently support MathJax/Katext as part of the core project, this has been added as a custom addition, so we cannot assure it's use in PDF exports so I'm going to therefore close this off. Supporting PDF rendering for dynamic/advanced features is tricky, you may have more luck producing PDFs using the browser "Print to PDF" feature.

A couple of additional notes based upon your instance:

You are currently using development code, not a production/release-ready version of BookStack. It's recommended you only use release code for actual use unless you are developing BookStack code yourself in a development environment.
Your install should not have /public within the URL, your webserver should use the BookStack public folder as the root path/location. I would not consider the current setup secure since I can access files that should not be accessibile, such as your application log file. I have deleted the URL in your original post for safety and I advise you update this as soon as possible. Might be wise to take a backup before making changes.
