Description
Hi, i was having an issue where electron returns a require('electron').remote as an undefined,
i searched online, the solution to this is to add to the app.js file inside the webPreferences
enableRemoteModule: true
with this fix, i finally got index.js working, and i succesfully exported the pdf file
Complete code:
electron.app.on('ready', function () {
var mainWindow = new electron.BrowserWindow({
width: 600, height: 800, webPreferences: {
nodeIntegration: true,
enableRemoteModule: true
}
})
i included the nodeIntegration: true to fix other issues

Research direction
Review app.js and index.js to understand how BrowserWindow webPreferences and PDF export are currently configured. Verify whether the reported remote-module settings match the project's Electron version and whether the export path can be reproduced; done would require a confirmed, documented fix in the repository rather than only a user workaround.
