Re: pdflatex not found. Please select a different --pdf-engine or install pdflatex

[Bastien DUMONT <bastien.dumont-VwIFZPTo/vqsTnJN9+BGXg@public.gmane.org>]

The problem is that your file contains Unicode characters that pdflatex does not handle directly (for instance, to typeset ë, one has to encode it as \"e in the document). Set --pdf-engine to xelatex or lualatex to use a Unicode-aware TeX engine.
