Render a pdf without chrome #105

Open danielrak opened 5 years ago

danielrak commented 5 years ago

Re,

sorry for the inconvenience,

I am using ubuntu and do not have chrome ; and it seems that I cannot install it.

Is there another way to render a pdf poster beside render(pagedown::chrome_print) please ?

Thanks !

Hello!

There is no need for chrome to be downloaded :tada: You can use the pagedown package function pagedown::chrome_print("myfile.Rmd"). Since pagedown is required to use posterdown this should work for you!

PS if you would like to use the browser to view your live html poster you can always download chromium from the ubuntu app store. It will give you the same ability as chrome for the purpose of using posterdown!

Cheers!

Hi @brentthorne , is there a way to render a pdf poster inserting pagedown::chrome_print or similar command directly in the header of the Rmd file? Thank you for the effort for development of this package. Best Emanuele @ecor

Where have folks placed this command? in Setup? I can get it printing but got a few errors when I placed in a chunk of its own

@gmendez9 Just have open RStudio with the working directory set to the place of location of the script "myfile.Rmd". And then just simply run the command.

pagedown::chrome_print("myfile.Rmd")

I can confirm that running pagedown::chrome_print("") does not work in a linux systems with the error:

Error in find_chrome() : Cannot find Chromium or Google Chrome
