PDF export not working for unloaded embeds

[tobias0409]

Hey,

The basic PDF export function in Obsidian doesn't work if multiple embeds are included in a single markdown file but are not within the viewport (and therefore not loaded). This causes the PDF export process to get stuck indefinitely.

Thanks.

Could you submit a screenshot of your issue?

[tobias0409]

Sure, here a screenshot:

Note:

• The Markdown file consists of 7 exercise sections
• Each Exercise section has a heading, a screenshot of the exercise and the tldraw-embed
• Use the pdf export function of obsidian directly -> result is the image above, where obsidian gets stuck
• If I delete all tldraw-embeds, the export works fine
• All other obsidian plugins are disabled

Another question, what platform are you running Obsidian on?

[tobias0409]

I am on Windows 10 64 Bit

What version of the plugin are you on? I wasn't able to reproduce the pdf export getting stuck, but I was able to prevent the error printed in the web console from occuring. I will release an update soon so that you could test it out.

Could you test pdf export on the latest release?

Hey,
I'm still running into the same issue. I also tried unloading the plugin and exporting with it deactivated, but when I open a note containing Tldraw embeds (displayed as a json), Obsidian completely freezes. Thanks for the new release!

The only thing I can think of at this point is that maybe your Obsidian installation is out of date. Can you check your settings under Options > General?

I won't be able to help you further on this issue since I am unable to reproduce this on Windows 11, and I don't have access to a Windows 10 installation to test this on.
