Answer 1

On ubuntu, installing the texlive-font-utils package solved the issue for me.

sudo apt install texlive-font-utils

I noticed the "repstopdf: not found system returned with code 32512" error before the "converted-to.pdf' not found" error. I tried to run "repstopdf" and the shell gave me the solution:

$ repstopdf

Command 'repstopdf' not found, but can be installed with:

sudo apt install texlive-font-utils
