[![RubyGems][gem_version_badge]][ruby_gems]

Convert things to PDF. This is a quick and dirty collection of scripts I have grown accustomed to coupled with an inherent lazyness to enter tedious commands. Remember: it is dirty by design.

Currently supports:

• Markdown
• HTML

(Ok, it is currently not really Any2Pdf yet... The motivation is clear.)

It uses available tools to do so, it just glues them together.

• Ruby
• Pandoc
• wkhtmltopdf
• fonts
  • Google Web Fonts: OpenSans
• monospace fonts
  • Consolas (the preferred monospace font)
  • Droid Sans Mono (alternative; part of Google Web Fonts)
  • DejaVu Sans Mono (another alternative for monospace)

1. Install requirements

Eg for Ubuntu:

# in case you don't have ruby:
apt-get install ruby1.9.3

# and any other applications
apt-get install pandoc wkhtmltopdf

Eg for Arch Linux: Get pandoc from haskell-core. It requires in your pacman.conf:

[haskell-core]
Server = http://xsounds.org/~haskell/core/$arch

Eg. for mac

Download the wkhtmltopdf tool from http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html. Do not use any gems to install wkhtmltopdf because this leads to strange rendering issues.

Then you can:

```bash
pacman -S ruby haskell-pandoc wkhtmltopdf

2. Install this app

gem install any2pdf

Read the help

any2pdf --help

Try it

any2pdf test.md

View test.pdf. View test.html.

Try styles:

# have mystyle.css in your folder
any2pdf test.md -s mystyle.css

Try global styles:

any2pdf test.md -s blue

This is for the very lazy (like me). Put your own styles into the installed gem folder under data/, eg:

cd ~/.gem/ruby/1.9.1/gems/any2pdf-1.0.0/data/
ls
touch mysexystyle.css

And now you can use it with either:

any2pdf test.md -s mysexystyle.css

Or just:

any2pdf test.md -s mysexystyle

You can also replace default.css if you like. It's called if you don't use the -s option, eg:

any2pdf test.md
