I have installed pandoc on my terminal using brew install pandoc. so it should b installed correctly. In my django project i am doing: import pypandoc import docx def making_a_doc_function(request): doc = docx.Document() doc.add_heading("MY DOCUMENT") doc.save('thisisdoc.docx') pypandoc.convert_file('thisisdoc.docx', 'docx', outputfile="thisisdoc.pdf") pdf = open('thisisdoc.pdf', 'rb') response = FileResponse(pdf) return response The docx file get created no problem but it not pdf has been created. I am getting an error that says: Pandoc died with exitcode "4" during conversion: b'cannot produce pdf output from docx\n' Does anyone have any ideas? Continue reading...
