Problems to generate pdf and docx documents with Quarto Markdown

[MacarenaLM]

Hi there!
I'm doing a file test with Quarto. First, I tried with html and I didn't have any problems, but now, when I change the format to "pdf" or "docx", I've got an html file again. Can I get some help, please? Thanks!

Hi @MacarenaLM, can you include a screenshot of the yaml header section? I can't troubleshoot what I can't see 😃

Are you using just the preview button, or have you tried via the terminal (next to console)

quarto render

Screenshot any errors that may appear.

Thanks-
David

Hi @DavidRach,
thanks, but I was able to solve the problems: 1) I was writing in the YAML header section with the first letter in capital, and 2) The Tinytex package have some corrupted files and with chatGPT help, solved this by deleting manually the tinytex folders and re-installing again. Now is finally working. Many thanks anyway!

Glad to hear you successfully navigated troubleshooting, good job! 🥳

Hi, @DavidRach, I am having the same issue. Every time I am trying to Quarto render to pdf, its creating the html file.

Hi, @DavidRach, I have also managed to fix this with installing Tinytex package. Thanks.
