":revealjs_plugin_pdf: enabled" produces "Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined"

[stenzengel]

When :revealjs_plugin_pdf: enabled is added as described in the readme, the browser console (Chrome and Firefox) displays the following error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
    at print-pdf.js:13

I wonder if this plugin needs to be activated at all, because adding ?print-pdf at the end of the URL seems to work correctly, even if this plugin is not activated.

What version of asciidoctor-reveal.js are you using? I think you are correct by stating that the plugin doesn't need to be activated. On master, I'm 100% sure but other versions I would need to look. I'll need to remove that part of the documentation.

I use:

"@asciidoctor/reveal.js": "^3.1.0",
"asciidoctor": "^2.1.1",

I managed to track this down. With reveal.js 3.7.0 (the one recommended with asciidoctor-reveal.js 3.1.0), the PDF plugin no longer exists, printing works without it.

Later today I'll modify the documentation:

• in a 3.1.x maintenance branch: say that the plugin is not required with reveal.js 3.7
• on master: remove all references to the PDF printing plugin

Thanks for the report!

Thanks!

The hint, that a PDF print is available via ?print-pdf on chrome browser, was helpful for me.
