The most common way to insert a pdf image in an rmarkdown file is to use:
knitr::include_graphics("image.pdf")
or
However, this does not work on a Windows OS. If you run this on a Windows OS, it will show
This picture can't be displayed
for docx outputs and
Couldn't load plugin
for html outputs. Is there a way to work around this?

I am using Qt PDF module to open a PDF file. How can I take a screenshot of part of the file and save it?
Since I guess this is impossible, I will convert the PDF to a image using pdf2image and work with images
I am trying to create a pdf using WeasyPrint on windows 10. It corrupts the css in the generated pdf, as shown in the image below. It is also not able to render images correctly and doesnt open in adobe acrobat with the error: "There was a problem reading this document (135)." (When did the same setup in mac OS a while ago, I did not face these issues)
I have tried changing the cairo version but that doesnt help. Any ideas on possible reasons why the css is messed up would be helpful.
I am attempting to render a powerpoint presentation from rmarkdown.
I downloaded this powerpoint template and associated files from sol-eng and am able to generate the powerpoint as is.
However, if I open the template and do
view -> slide master
and adjust any of the slide master (i.e. change the background color)
close slide master -> save
I get the error "The file may be damaged or it may have been created in a pre-release version of PowerPoint." when I attempt to render the powerpoint.
I am unclear why using the template as is vs changing the background would generate an error in making the powerpoint presentation.
Any suggestions would be helpful:)
it might be that R writes binary differently than Powerpoint. Is it possible to create a ioslide or beamer slide file with the original powerpoint file instead? If you do IOSlides or beamer, the view with only need a web browser and could be a more flexible file for presentation
I used a different computer/version of powerpoint; adjusted the master slide and now it works - still unsure why I couldn't adjust with my version of powerpoint so I am guessing some versioning issue.
I'm working with Jupyter notebook and have a question in mind:
If I want to markdown an HTML file or any website, I can just simply do
[name-of-the-website](address-here)
and it will create a link to the page that I want to reference
My question is
Are there any markdown code for PDF reference
IS the code the same with HTML reference (whenver I click into the markdown link, It will create a new tab which can download the file to the computer)
P/s: I'm not talking about coverting the notebook into PDF file
I have found out an answer:
Go to the file PDF that you want to download, for example I want to download this PDF file
Ideas:
Because there should be a HTML link to download the document, if one can find this link, then can proceed to normal markdown HTML file in Jupyter Notebook
Steps:
On the browser, right-click that PDF download link, and then choose Inspect Element (Q) (on Firefox or any browser in use)
It is then open the console that will shown the download HTML file like shown:
href="http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/services/stochastic/pubs/2009/DMWG09/dumont-visapp09-shortpaper.pdf"
One can proceed with normal markdown in Jupyter Notebook
This works for me:
ref.
This is a relative path to the file.
Is there a way to print out a slide deck of a jupyter/ipython notebook slides? Is it possible to do from the nbviewer site (http://nbviewer.ipython.org) ?
I know that I can print a pdf of my notebook, but when I do, it doesn't have the same page breaks and doesn't skip all the code that I would like skipped (for example, the libraries I've imported aren't necessary). I'd like to have it as a backup or a printable handout.
You can try this:
jupyter nbconvert --to slides --post serve /path/to/your/notebook.ipynb
This should fire up your browser and serve the presentation (e.g at http://127.0.0.1:8000/<some-title>.slides.html#/)
change the url to
http://127.0.0.1:8000/<some-title>.slides.html?print-pdf
If you now open the print dialog from your browser, the slides should have the right formatting.
Instead of sending to a printer you should be able to choose to write to a pdf file from the printer menu.
I tested this in chrome on OSX. I assume it works on all systems, but I did not test.
