Hi,
I'm using portable Versions of pandoc and miktex on a Windows System. 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

Generally this would happen if the program is not found
when pandoc tries to run the process. I'm not sure why that
would be.
Try just using --pdf-engine=pdflatex and putting the
relevant directory in your path (perhaps temporarily).

Thanks for your response.
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.

I'm not sure why there'd be a difference btw pandoc 1 and 2.
I've looked at the code and nothing is jumping out at me.

Thanks for caring ... as I see in the posts, the problem is not Windows
exclusive.
For me the solution with temporary updating the path, is enough.
It seems, i can't help anymore, because the parameter --trace,
--log=file.log, --verbose didn't seem to work for me (at least in my
batch-file), so i can't provide any more information. :(
Thanks for this incredible piece of software.

Hallo everybody,
my case is related, but the behaviour is different.
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.
Best greetings
Giacomo
