R Markdown 将 Powerpoint 演示文稿呈现为 PDF 的工作流程

Question

I have begun using Rmd to render Powerpoint presentations consistently, using the YAML tags and more importantly, a reference Powerpoint to ensure standardized / consistent formatting: output: powerpoint_presentation: slide: reference_doc: "reference.pptx" . When I want to share a PPT document as a reference for my peers / students however, I want to be able to have my slides available as a.pdf file.

I have had success using shell commands in R using LibreOffice's soffice command, however I am not always at a workstation with that available. Is there a portable solution / executable I can call, or additional Rmd tags for rendering a document with a.pptx reference document, but rendered as a.pdf file?

Answer 1

I believe you have to specifiy output: beamer_presentation in the header. Take a look at this: https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/formats.html
