Pulling embedded URLs into footnotes automatically.

I'm trying to figure out how to generate two different PDFs from the same source: one for use on a device (where embedded links make sense) and one for use for printing (where links should be pulled out as a footnote or similar so they can be typed in later). I've not found any documentation around a feature that would do this when generating a PDF using asciidoctor-pdf. Is this currently possible with a switch of some kind?

Thanks,
Eric

I think you're looking for the media attribute:

-a media=print

-a media=prepress

The URLs for links are not placed at the bottom of the page due to reasons well documented in this issue and elsewhere: https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-pdf/issues/1086#issuecomment-498018423 Instead, the URLs are shown inline, adjacent to the linked text. It will look like this:

Asciidoctor [ https://asciidoctor.org ]
