Do2pdf Review

After a childhood injury gave him some brain damage, Jim Kwik focused his energy on turning his brain into a super machine, exercising his brain until he could use it to as full a capacity as possible. The results can be found in his excellent book "Limitless", which now has an expanded edition for its 10th anniversary. We welcome Jim back to celebrate the new book and help James improve his brain!

Do2pdf Review

do2pdf my_analysis.do Output: my_analysis.pdf in the same directory. do2pdf my_analysis.do -o output/script_report.pdf 3. Common Options | Option | Description | |--------|-------------| | -o <file> | Output PDF file path | | --style <style> | Syntax highlighting style (e.g., github , monokai , tango ) | | --line-numbers | Add line numbers to the code | | --title "My Title" | Set document title | | --author "Name" | Set author metadata | | --toc | Include a table of contents | | --template <file> | Use a custom LaTeX/HTML template | | -f | Force overwrite existing PDF |

→ Install highlight: same method as above.

do2pdf script.do --lang stata → Check that your do-file contains plain text and not binary content. Try converting with:

git clone https://github.com/<relevant-repo>/do2pdf # adjust URL if known cd do2pdf make && sudo make install do2pdf often wraps pandoc and highlight . Install them first: do2pdf

Example:

# macOS brew install pandoc highlight sudo apt install pandoc highlight 2. Basic Usage Convert a Stata do-file to a PDF report:

brew install do2pdf

If you are referring to a different do2pdf (e.g., a custom script or from another software ecosystem), please clarify. The most common usage is for Stata do-files . 1. Installation On macOS (Homebrew):

pandoc my_script.do -o test.pdf If that fails, the issue is with do2pdf 's wrapper; use pandoc directly. Use pandoc directly with syntax highlighting:

pandoc my_analysis.do -o output.pdf \ --highlight-style=tango \ --pdf-engine=xelatex \ -V mainfont="DejaVu Sans Mono" For Stata syntax specifically, you may need to specify: do2pdf my_analysis

→ Make sure your .do file extension is recognized. Force language:

do2pdf script.do --style monokai --line-numbers --toc -o script.pdf Convert multiple do-files into one PDF: do2pdf part1.do part2.do part3.do -o combined.pdf Use with custom template (e.g., for company letterhead): do2pdf analysis.do --template company.template -o report.pdf Pipe content directly: cat my_script.do | do2pdf -o from_stdin.pdf 5. Troubleshooting Error: pandoc: command not found → Install pandoc: brew install pandoc (macOS) or sudo apt install pandoc (Linux)
