PyPandoc in combination with PyInstaller

Question

I installed PyInstaller to create executables for my python scripts and it works fine. I used PyPandoc to create reports .docxthat also work fine when running regular python files, but not from the PyInstaller executable. It gives an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "src\flexmodel_postcalc.py", line 295, in postcalculate_everything
  File "src\flexmodel_postcalc.py", line 281, in generate_report_docx
  File "src\flexmodel_report_docx.py", line 118, in generate_text_useages_docx
  File "pypandoc\__init__.py", line 50, in convert
  File "pypandoc\__init__.py", line 70, in _convert
  File "pypandoc\__init__.py", line 197, in get_pandoc_formats
  File "pypandoc\__init__.py", line 336, in _ensure_pandoc_path
OSError: No pandoc was found: either install pandoc and add it
to your PATH or install pypandoc wheels with included pandoc.

While creating the executable, I do not see any strange problems in PyPandoc. How do I include Pandoc in my executable so that others (without installing Python and / or Pandoc) can use the executable and create reports .docx?

edit: the workflow included the following steps:

• Create a file containing the following code:

  import pypandoc
  pypandoc.convert(sou‌​rce='# Sample title\nPlaceholder', to='docx', format='md', outputfile='test.doc‌​x')
  

• Save this file as pythonfile.py

• create an executable file with PyInstaller:

  pyinstaller --onefile --clean pythonfile.py
  

• Pandoc ( PyPandoc).
