To speed up the LuaLaTeX compilation process of my beamer file, I tried, to no avail, to use mylatexformat like I usually do with pdfLaTeX. I am using the following MWE, called beamer.tex.
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Hello}
World!
\end{frame}
\end{document}
With pdfLaTeX
Executing the following commands:
pdflatex -ini -jobname="beamer_pdflatex" "&pdflatex" mylatexformat.ltx ""beamer.tex""
pdflatex -fmt beamer_pdflatex beamer.tex
produces the correct output, i.e. the format file beamer_pdflatex.fmt with the first command and the pdf file beamer.pdf with the second one.
With LuaLaTeX
Executing the command
lualatex -ini -jobname="beamer_lualatex" "&lualatex" mylatexformat.ltx ""beamer.tex""
correctly produces the format file beamer_lualatex.fmt. However, the compilation command
lualatex -fmt beamer_lualatex beamer.tex
fails with the following error (the full log is attached below):
! error: (pdf backend): referenced object has wrong type others; should be obj.
Is this fixable? I have tried with the latest version of TeXLive on Debian testing, and with the latest version of MikTeX on Windows 10.
