generating pdf outputs #171

Hi,

Can we use asciidoctor-pdf and asciidoctor-epub to generate respectively html, pdf and epub directly with jekyll ?

I suceeded to get revealjs working but i got an error with pdf.

This is what i've done for now based on the revealjs details found in #136 :

in the adoc source i added the attributes : 

:backend: pdf
:page-layout: false

in the _config.yml 

plugins:
  - jekyll-feed
  - jekyll-asciidoc
  - asciidoctor-mathematical
  - asciidoctor-revealjs
  - asciidoctor-pdf

The error returned is : 

  Liquid Exception: undefined method `to_liquid' for #<Asciidoctor::Pdf::Converter:0x00007f83200d91c0> in feed.xml
             Error: undefined method `to_liquid' for #<Asciidoctor::Pdf::Converter:0x00007f83200d91c0>
             Error: Run jekyll build --trace for more information.

Seems that the converter is called but is it a layout matter ?

What am I missing, thanks in advance for your help, any thoughts are welcome.

This plugin really wasn't designed to produce anything other than HTML. There are several places in the plugin where it assumes it's dealing with a string. However, both PDF and EPUB3 return object data. So those assumptions would have to be changed.

If someone wants to work on this, I'd be happy to assist. I don't have the bandwidth to take it on myself.

Another approach for pdfs would be to emulate asciidoctor-web-pdf and use perhaps https://github.com/YusukeIwaki/puppeteer-ruby to get Chromium to render the pdfs.
