Hm, I have no idea what this might be. I have the same Electron version installed, and it still works for me.

Could you try the following:

• Edit the file /Users/maurizio/.atom/packages/pandoc-pdf/lib/pandoc-pdf-processor.js.
• Change the line with the error (117) to shell.openItem(this.tempDir), i.e. remove electron..
• Add the line import { shell } from 'electron' to the other imports at the top of the file.

The restart Atom and try again.

The error now happened for me, too, and I think I was able to fix it in the new version 0.1.3.
