I am trying to get my jupyter notebook to convert to pdf so I can submit it, and am having an awfully hard time doing so. I first installed nbconvert and pypandoc and then I downloaded the pandoc zip folder on their website (the installer wasn't working) and put it in my path. I was initially getting the message

nbconvert failed: Pandoc wasn't found. Please check that pandoc is installed: http://pandoc.org/installing.html

but doing those steps fixed it. I am now getting the following message. I did a workaround solution by print previewing, saving the html page, and then converting the html page to pdf, but it would still be nice to fix this. Thanks!

nbconvert failed: PDF creating failed, captured latex output:
Failed to run "xelatex .\notebook.tex -quiet" command:

I solved with

pip install --upgrade --user nbconvert
