As far as I know, prawn-gmagick does not work on Windows (at the very least, we don't test that combination). And without prawn-gmagick, Asciidoctor PDF cannot read GIF files.

I do see that Abel reported he was able to get it to install on Windows: https://github.com/packetmonkey/prawn-gmagick/issues/9#issuecomment-585947260 However, since we don't test this, we cannot guarantee it will work. So the next step is to add this combination to the CI matrix so that we can verify it. Only then can we claim that it works.

Abel, do you think you could configure the workflow to do what you did there so we can test it?

Best Regards,

With Dan's permission, I'm adding onto this topic rather than creating a new one...

GIF images aren't showing up in PDFs created with Asciidoctor-PDF. We're working in Windows 10 with the most recent Asciidoctor and Asciidoctor-PDF versions.

I was getting the prompt to install prawn-gmagick, but even after following Abel's instructions above, and rebooting my machine, the GIFs still aren't appearing in generated PDFs.

For what it's worth, we're using both static and animated GIFs, but I wouldn't think that would make a difference.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.
