This is true for any file, but the file I have tested above is as follows:

----
= Document

Hello, world!
----

I have also found that the older syntax fails to work for similar
reasons:

----
% asciidoctor -r asciidoctor/pdf -a reproducible -a pdf-page-size=letter -o foo.pdf foo.adoc
asciidoctor: FAILED: 'asciidoctor/pdf' could not be loaded
  Use --trace to show backtrace
----

Could you maybe try to get this fixed?
