pandoc: Cannot decode byte '\xd0': Data.Text.Encoding.Fusion.streamUtf8: Invalid UTF-8 stream

encoding, pandoc, pdf-generation, utf-8

Solution

My bad. The problem is related with the command I use to tell pandoc to create the pdf ouput. The proper command should be:

pandoc --filter pandoc-citeproc myfile.markdown -o myfile.pdf

note the `-o` flag between the input markdown file and the ouput pdf file. That's why I got the same utf-8 message that the people trying to convert from pdf to other formats documented in my links.

Problem

I'm getting this error when I made `pandoc --filter pandoc-citeproc myfile.markdown myfile.pdf` pandoc: Cannot decode byte '\xd0': Data.Text.Encoding.Fusion.streamUtf8: Invalid UTF-8 stream I have searched here and here, but I have double checked from the text editor and my file is UTF-8 encoded. It has accented Spanish characters, but the same command worked without anyproblem in the past. Any pointers to a solution would be appreciated.
