Export to PDF

[kynan]

Is there a "nice" way to export a Remark presentation as a PDF? By nice I mean 1) rendered like the screen output as closely as possible and 2) in vector format i.e. slides not rendered as raster images and concatenated.

It seems reveal.js has a PDF export via a print stylesheet, which unfortunately doesn't work on Linux.

Currently there aren't, but it's definitely on the list of features that would be nice to have, via printing, like reveal.js does.

Does this mean reveal.js doesn't work to print to PDF on Mac OSX? I too am receiving only the first page.

[kynan]

@Version2beta I think you should discuss that in the revelant reveal.js issues.

And is there any workaround for the time being?

The current version of remark now supports exporting the current, single slide to PDF via Chrome's print functionality. It's kind of useless as of right now, but export of all slides is on it's way.

The last release 0.5.6 of remark now supports exporting to PDF via Chrome's print preview and Save to PDF option.

If I set the ratio to 4:3, and start to write and tune the slide content:
remark.create({ratio: "4:3"})
everything is OK, and exporting to PDF via Chrome is also correct.
However, if I set the ratio to 16:9, and start to write and tune the slide content:
remark.create({ratio: "4:3"})
everything still looks good, but exporting to PDF via Chrome will be a mess, especially when there are images inside.

Printing has primarily been tested for a display ratio of 4:3. If this is of importance to you, please create a new issue regarding 16:9 support :)

Greate job! 👍

Regression: export to PDF doesn't work in Chrome 39.0. Despite of using ratio of 4:3 slides do not fit to PDF page. Try on remarkjs.com site.

Regression confirmed on Chromium 38.0.2125.111 Built on Ubuntu 14.04, running on LinuxMint 17 (290379) (64-bit)

@danielstankiewicz @kynan I "fixed" this by setting device resolution to 1024x768 in Chrome DevTools.
