Remote Objects do not work when rendered as PDF?

Question

I want to use Visualforce remote object to retrieve data and display it as PDF.

I use this code.

<apex:remoteObjects jsNamespace="RemoteObjectModel">
    <apex:remoteObjectModel name="Opportunity" 
                     fields="Id,Name,StageName" jsShorthand="opp">
        <apex:remoteObjectField name="Sent__c" jsShorthand="sent"/>
    </apex:remoteObjectModel>
</apex:remoteObjects>

<script>
    function retrieveOpp(){
        var record = new RemoteObjectModel.opp();
        record.retrieve({limit:1}, function(err, records, event){
                console.log(err,records,event);
            });
        }
        window.onload = retrieveOpp();
</script>

When VF page is set to renderAs="PDF" then console display nothing. When I remove the renderAs tag then console displays the retrieved result.

Is this standard behavior and documented?

According to this article:

PDF rendering doesn’t support JavaScript-rendered content.
