The system cannot find the file specified. on Windows

[openSourcerer9000]

So I pip installed this and have been trying to convert a .md to pdf. On windows, FYI.

python3 -m pip install gh-md-to-html[pdf_export]
python3 -m pip install gh-md-to-html[offline_conversion]
I then grabbed the latest wkhtmltopdf for windows 64bit and added C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin to PATH.

From CLI, I've tried every flavor possible for specifying this file, and each time get The system cannot find the file specified. with no recognition of which file path it's referring to.

cd C:\absolute\path

gh-md-to-html file.md -p <name>.pdf
gh-md-to-html "C:\\absolute\\path\\file.md" -p <name>.pdf
gh-md-to-html "C:\absolute\path\file.md" -p <name>.pdf
gh-md-to-html "C:/absolute/path/file.md" -p <name>.pdf
gh-md-to-html "./file.md" -p <name>.pdf

I then tried it from Python, with cwd as C:\absolute\path

import gh_md_to_html
gh_md_to_html.main('file.md',output_pdf='file.pdf')

It creates an images and github-markdown-css folder and populates them, then a stacktrace of the same error:

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

This suggests to me that it's not finding wkhtmltopdf or something, even though I added it to PATH. Have you noticed anything like this before?

I am able to get it into an HTML with gh_md_to_html.main('file.md',destination='file.html'), and it copies over the images to a new folder, however they don't appear in the HTML doc. A single file PDF is definitely preferable for me though. I like writing documentation in VSCode in MD, and literally just want to be able to send docs to my colleagues who don't know what a markdown is.
