Description

I'm using renderthis::to_pdf to print a pdf from an HTML file. However, I get Error: Chromote: timed out waiting for event Page.loadEventFired. Is there a way to fix this? The HTML file is 33.9MB.

library(pdftools)    # version 3.4.0 
library(renderthis) # version 0.2.1
library(chromote)   # version 0.2.0.9

renderthis::to_pdf(from = "presentation/my_pres.html",
                   to = "presentation/my_pres.pdf",
                   delay = 1, 
                   complex_slides = TRUE,
                   partial_slides = TRUE)
R version 4.3.1 (2023-06-16)
Platform: aarch64-apple-darwin20 (64-bit)
Running under: macOS Sonoma 14.3.1

Chrome (Version 124.0.6367.201 (Official Build) (arm64)) is installed on my computer.

When setting complex_slides = FALSE and partial_slides = FALSE, I only get the first slide.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with renderthis::to_pdf on the reported 33.9MB HTML file, comparing complex_slides and partial_slides settings. Trace where the Page.loadEventFired timeout occurs in the renderthis/chromote path. Done means identifying a reproducible fix or clearly documenting the supported limitation and workaround for multi-slide PDF output.
