Question

Answer 1

You can easily achieve what you want by creating a custom nbconvert template. This means that your live notebook can still have the input visible but that when you convert to pdf it hides the input.

Create a template file that extends the standard latex template article.tplx (latex template is used for pdf convert too)

custom.tplx:

% Inherit from the article.tplx
((* extends 'article.tplx' *))

% remove inputs
((* block input_group *))
((* endblock input_group *))

Then convert your notebook using the following command

jupyter nbconvert --template=custom.tplx --to=pdf your_notebook.ipynb
