LaTeX PDF export problem Confluence 5.5

[MilanCiti]

Hello

I have an issue with PDF Export of certain page, which has latex macro used on it.

Without latex macro, PDF export works fine.

Error message : Failed during PDF export. Exception message - Exception thrown while rendering the page 'Experiment to test Latex plugin' to the PDF document <confluenceHomeDirectory>/temp/pdfexport-20141014-141014-1707-7/TEST-141014-1707-8.pdf

Test page itself look fine, with simple usage of latex macro :

{latex} \( E=mc^{2} \) {latex}

LaTeX plugin version 1.4, Confluence 5.5, Java 1.7.

I properly set up paths for latex and dvipng under that 'Configure' for LaTeX plugin.

Part of the log:

I've had success exporting individual pages to PDF using this custom user macro that uses the mathTeX CGI script: https://davidsimpson.me/2012/02/20/how-to-export-confluence-pages-containing-equations-to-pdf/

I have not yet tried exporting an entire space where some pages make use of this plugin.
