Open cmd and run the following code there:

pip install nbconvert==5.4.1

This solved my issue.

P.S. you may try the latest version.

Unfortunately, there's very little maintenance of LaTeX in nbconvert -- LaTeX conversions are a complex beast and there's not someone keeping it fed overtime for all the many edge cases and build tool changes.

There is a new webpdf conversion using chromium to generate PDF files coming in 6.0, which trades off some of the flexibility of xelatex / pandoc for consistency with web renderings (and a new optional dependency).

(source: GitHub)

The maintainers are trying to get the last of issues resolved for a final release our of alpha for 6.0. There's just not many of us with a lot of free time to contribute.

BTW what worked for me is to first download the .ipynb file as ".Tex" file and then converting that .Tex file into .pdf
