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 Colab.
Therefore create a new Python workbook in Colab 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.

Answer 2

Use the built-in browser print. Then, save the result as a pdf.
