Re: pdf-engine pdflatex not known

[John MacFarlane <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

You only provided part of the log (and I didn't see any
error messages).  Try converting with --pdf-engine=pdflatex
and a really simple input file like ("*hi*").

If it succeeds with the simple file, then the problem has
to do with the content in your file.  In this case we'd
need to see more of the verbose log.
