Hi all,

does anyone know the procedure to generate a pdf out of a presentation made with RISE?  
I’m using Julia 1.1 and IJulia. I’ve installed rise with `Conda.jl` using the following command:

```julia
Conda.add("rise")

```

Looking at [RISE docs](https://rise.readthedocs.io/en/stable/exportpdf.html) there seems to be a pdf exporter. However I’m having trouble accessing it through IJulia.

I thank you for your help.

I guess even exporting pdf of the Jupyter book would be enough 😅

“I’m having trouble” is not a useful description of your problem. What happens when you try to run `jupyter nbconvert` as described in the docs? (Note that you can find the location of `jupyter` from `Conda.BINDIR`.) What happens when you simply print to PDF via Chrome as suggested in the docs?

Sorry! I meant I was stuck at point 1 of the RISE docs and didn’t know how to access the jupyter executable. Having access to `Conda.BINDIR` solved the problem:

```julia
using Conda
run(`$(Conda.BINDIR)/jupyter nbconvert --to slides myslides.ipynb --post serve`)

```

Thank you 😃
