colab-pdf's Introduction

Usage

Paste and run this in your colab notebook in the last cell.

!wget -nc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brpy/colab-pdf/master/colab_pdf.py
from colab_pdf import colab_pdf
colab_pdf('pandas-assignment.ipynb')

Enter the the full file name as shown above, within quotes. The pdf will be saved on your Google Drive.

For better quality plots use:

from IPython.display import set_matplotlib_formats
set_matplotlib_formats('pdf', 'svg')

in the first cell of the notebook.

I want to hide output

The outputs can be long as a lot of commands are run in the background. You can use %%capture magic to hide the cell output.

%%capture
!wget -nc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brpy/colab-pdf/master/colab_pdf.py
from colab_pdf import colab_pdf
colab_pdf('pandas-assignment.ipynb')

Note: This will also hide pdf creation, pdf save logs. So check your Google Drive for the pdf.

Google Drive Access

This requires that you have already mounted your google drive in your notebook. If not, this will attempt to Mount your drive, which may ask for your auhtentication.

Printing from browser works for me, why use this?

If you are satisfied with browser's pdf, this might not be for you. This uses jupyter's nbconvert which is the recommended way to convert .ipynb to .pdf and may produce better results.

Too slow

Ubuntu repos are updated and xelatex packages are downloaded in the background. This takes upto 90% of the time as these packages are large and can consume time.

Browser download works ony half the time

Due to some reason or the way google.colab.files is implemented, browser download fails for the first time. This has been mitigated by putting it in a try block. If you run it second time the file can be downloaded from the browser itself.

Error in nbcovert or xelatex

nbconvert and xelatex are not perfect and might fail to convert your file to pdf. In such case try to debug using output logs or use browser's File -> Print method.

Thanks to Google Colab for helping the community. Google Colaboratory is a product of Google.

colab-pdf's Issues

Only produces first two pages

When I run the script, the resulting PDF only contains two pages when the colab notebook is much longer.

Language issue

This method doesn't work for foreign language output. For me its russian language that does not appear.

Can't use image

I'm trying download the pdf file from a Cobab with a image. I've tried insert the image directly, insert using markdown, html, but nothing works. I can see the image in colab notebook page, but not in pdf.

A code this way in colab text cell:

<img src="https://uploaddeimagens.com.br/images/003/877/446/original/metodos_numericos_semanaiii.PNG?1653215884" alt="My Image" width=700>

Doesn't export full notebook

Other users on youtube are also having this issue. It's on the last few pages, where it doesn't print everything.

However, I don't believe it's fully your fault. If I try to print out of the browser, the same problem happens (and with ugly print). I don't know

blocked by access code

when executing block code, an authorization code is now required and I cannot access the functionality of this repo

Output not being saved

I see no output from the exports when either running

!wget -nc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brpy/colab-pdf/master/colab_pdf.py
from colab_pdf import colab_pdf
colab_pdf('path-to-notebook.ipynb')

As the last cell after manual run
As the last cell (using restart kernel and run all)
As the first cell of a new notebook that points to the path

I have confirmed that Colab is saving the output, if I download the file to my local machine and open it on jupyter notebook, I see the output just fine (and I can CTRL+P).

Any help appreciated!

not saving any pdf

Hey there and thanks for the share!
I tried used it as you instructed. Everything executed and the log says the pdf saved in drive but I can not see any new file on my drive. I would like to hear what is that I do wrong.
Thanks in advance, Sagi :)
