Converting jupyter notebook to pdf - nbconvert

Question

I have been able to use nbconvert to convert .ipynb files into pdf in the past, but it isn’t working now. I am using a Windows machine and I have Inkscape installed. This is the error that I am getting:

[NbConvertApp] Converting notebook mlp-week02.ipynb to pdf

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I am not sure what the error is. Any ideas?
