Clipped footnotes for PDF print of revealjs #5998

Open harrysw1729 opened 1 year ago

harrysw1729 commented 1 year ago

Bug description

Consider the following hello.qmd file:

---
title: Hello
format:
    revealjs:
        width: 1600
        height: 900
---

## Hello

Hello^[Hello<br>hello]

The document was rendered using quarto render hello.qmd.

In the HTML output, the footnote was displayed in full:

quart_html

However, if I print the HTML to PDF in Google Chrome according to the documentation here, the footnote was clipped:

quarto_pdf

Note that there was also a blank page in the printed PDF, which echoed the discussion in #3997.

Currently, a workaround is to use a different PDF converter such as decktape, which solved both the footnote display issue as well as the trailing-blank-page issue.

Thank you for your help in advance.

This will probably be the solution as we plan to add this method: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/issues/4677

Thanks for the quick reply!

One limitation of using decktape seems to be that it could take a long time to print the PDF when there are many slides. On my device, it took around one second for each slide, making a 50+ slide deck take more than a minute to convert to PDF.
