Failure to render PDF in rstudio with R4.3.1

[spider-z3r0]

Hello,

Thanks a million for the extention, I was playing around with it in vscode and couldn't make it work, switching to Rstudio has allowed me to render docx format smoothly, which is great but when I try to render pdf (following this tutorial) I get some errors that I can't seem to track down.

The above happens when I try to render any kind of PDF.

I've tried to see what's going on in the .log file but I'm just not skilled enough at reading them.

I can just render to .docx and export that to a pdf but I thought it might be best to raise an issue and see if there is something to skip the extra step.

Thanks again for the work.

Thanks for the link to the tutorial. I followed the instructions there and could not reproduce the error you are getting. If you would like to email me your .qmd file, perhaps I can identify what is happening. I am at schneider@temple.edu

Hi, Thanks so much for the offer, I'll put send on a version with the yaml and maybe the first paragraph and maybe this will make more sense to you.

Hi @wjschne I am trying to use your extension and template, but it rendered and error: processing file: lince.qmd |........................... | 59% [apafg-importedgraphic] Quitting from lines 245-249 [apafg-importedgraphic] (lince.qmd) Error in knitr::include_graphics(): ! Cannot find the file(s): "orcid.png" Backtrace:

1. knitr::include_graphics("orcid.png")

Execution halted

Breaking down the extension folder I could not find and "orcid.png" file either, just and "Orcid-id vector file" Another question: How can I change the main font (to STIX)?

Thank you

Breaking down the extension folder I could not find and "orcid.png" file either, just and "Orcid-id vector file"

When you create a new file (i.e., quarto use template wjschne/apaquarto), the orcid.png file is downloaded automatically. If you want to use any other image file, that should be fine.

Another question: How can I change the main font (to STIX)? If you are creating a pdf file, use the mainfont option in your yaml. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73603709/change-fonts-in-quarto-pdf-document

If you are creating a .docx file, you would need to have the STIX font installed on your machine and then change the body and heading font in the template file (i.e., apaquarto.docx) in the extension folder.
