With pandoc 1.19.2.1 converting a markdown-File to PDF runs fine - the used commandline looks like this: D:\pandoc\pandoc_1.19.2.1\pandoc.exe -o docs\file.pdf --latex-engine=D:\ LaTeX\MiKTeX_2.9\miktex\bin\pdflatex.exe --toc docs\file.md After upgrading pandoc to 2.0.6 I have to change the parameter --latex-engine to --pdf-engine. The new commandline that would be used was this: D:\pandoc\pandoc_2.0.6\pandoc.exe -o docs\file.pdf --pdf-engine=D:\LaTeX\ MiKTeX_2.9\miktex\bin\pdflatex.exe --toc docs\file.md Following is the response I get: pdf-engine D:\LaTeX\MiKTeX_2.9\miktex\bin\pdflatex.exe not known I have updated Miktex, but the result is the same. With 1.19.2.1 the PDF will be created. Thanks for any helpfull advice. Greetings Karsten -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pandoc-discuss" group.

Because of using it in a batch-file I could temporary change the path-variable without a problem and after that it runs smoothly. Is pandoc 2 searching for ( / needing) supporting-files from miktex / pdflatex? (and version 1.x doesn't do that?) But that workaround is good enough for me. Thanks for your quick help.

A conversion to PDF via PDFLaTeX works regardless of the engine being installed at a different hard disk partition than my work directory. A conversion to PDF using other suggested engines (I tried Prince and wkhtmltopdf) does not work. On my computer, all programs are installed in the C:\ partition, whereas my work directory is under P:\. The argument --pdf-engine= does not accept one full path: just the name of the engine. For security reasons I am not allowed to write inside a folder higher than C:\Program files\. Has anybody a clue, where the problem lies? Thanks in advance.
