Upgraded Anaconda Ipython Packages and No Longer Able to Run NBConvert - ipython

Question

PATH looks like this, what am I doing wrong? Pywin32 and Pandoc are already installed using Windows MSI:
C:\Users\AliDesktop\Anaconda;C:\Users\AliDesktop\Anaconda\Scripts;C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin\;C:\Users\AliDesktop\AppData\Local\Pandoc\
I get this on trying to run a command I usually run:
ipython nbconvert --to latex --post PDF .ipynb
C:\Users\AliDesktop\Desktop\Magic Briefcase\School\1\1- Intro to Data Science\le
cture\Summaries\IPython Notebooks>ipython nbconvert --to latex --post PDF .ipynb
Below is my error traceback:

ImportError: No module named PDF

Answer 1

The options --to latex --post PDF have been replaced by --to pdf in IPython >= 3.0. So this should work:
ipython nbconvert --to pdf </path/to/notebook>
