How to convert GoPresent to PDF?

[Tom Limoncelli]

I made a presentation using the Present package (https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools/present) but I'd like to convert it to PDF.

I've used github.com/mmcloughlin/podium but it requires chromedriver which is no longer supported.

Are there alternatives?  Web searches find nothing.

Thanks,

Tom

Somewhat embarrassing to admit, but I've resorted in

the past to just taking screenshots and then stuffing them

into a pdf file. The size was about 30KB per slide.

If that's too big, you could also try to de-rasterize your

screenshots back into vector graphics to get compression

with... services? image magick? https://convert.guru/raster-converter kind of thing.

Can you use the present command to host the webpage, open it up in your favorite browser, and print to PDF?

Hi,

In the old days, I did this little thing:
https://codeberg.org/sbinet/present-tex

(Now, I would probably do it with Typst instead of LaTeX)

htw,
