Running:

pandoc mydoc.md -o mydoc.pdf

Returns:

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.

pandoc: Error producing PDF from TeX source

This happens when a markdown file has too many images.

It appears this particular issue was meant to be resolved by #285 (as mentioned in the changelog).

Most likely the reference to #285 is to an issue in the old googlecode tracker.

Some solutions given there include using the morefloats package (try adding \usepackage{morefloats} to the preamble in a custom latex template or adding \clearpage in places, especially where you have a sequence of floats in a row.

Anyway, I don't think this is a pandoc bug, or anything pandoc can fix automatically; it's a LaTeX limitation and you'll need to look to LaTeX documentation to fix.
