Google Co-laboratory notebook PDF download

Question

Google Co-laboratory notebook doesn\'t have the \"Download as\" dropdown menu item in \"File\" menu like standalone Jupyter does. How to download the notebook as PDF?

Answer 1

You can also run the solution of mayurmadnani directly on CO.
Therefor create a new Python workbook in CO and connect it to a runtime.
Install the necessary packages into the virtual machine with:

!apt-get install texlive texlive-xetex texlive-latex-extra pandoc
!pip install pypandoc

Mount your google drive to get access to your ipynb files

from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')

I had to copy the files from the drive to the working directory,
because the drive is/was mounted as read only.

!cp drive/My Drive/Colab Notebooks/Untitled.ipynb ./

Then you can run the converter.

!jupyter nbconvert --to PDF "Untitled.ipynb"

Then you can download the file in the left side panel.
