Sorry, my bad.

Any ideas regarding my question?

Hi,

A4article is not indicated in git as you had a look. :(
Maybe that format (A4article) was depreciated already?

The template system has changed in nbconvert version 6, so the original templates don't work anymore.
And they still haven't supplied standard provisions for A4 paper (like an option or so). Probably a mild case of cultural blindness.

I found out how to do it in the new template system, however, there is a bug that gives some troubles.

To get all your latex (and therefore also PDF) output in A4 format:

Find out where nbconvert expects user templates.

Issue the shell command:
bash-3.2$ jupyter --paths
Look up the data part:
...
data:
/Users/pieter/Library/Jupyter
...
The first one is your personal directory in my case ~/Library/Jupyter.

In this directory create the directory nbconvert/templates/latex
In this directory create these two files:
conf.json
