Utility for batch converting Jupyter Notebooks to PDFs.

nb_to_pdf.py

import sys
from os import listdir, mkdir, rename
from os.path import isfile, join, exists
import subprocess

if len(sys.argv) < 2:
    print('usage: nb_to_pdf.py <folder containing jupyter notebooks>')
    exit(1)

folder = sys.argv[1]

if folder.endswith('/'):
    folder = folder[:-1]

files = [f for f in listdir(folder) if isfile(join(folder, f)) and f.endswith('.ipynb')]

pdf_folder = '{}/pdfs'.format(folder)

if not exists(pdf_folder):
    mkdir(pdf_folder)

for f in files:
    nb_name = '{}/{}'.format(folder, f)
    pdf_name = f.replace('.ipynb', '.pdf')
    cmd = 'jupyter nbconvert --to pdf {}'.format(nb_name).split(' ')
    subprocess.check_call(cmd)
    rename('{}/{}'.format(folder, pdf_name), '{}/{}'.format(pdf_folder, pdf_name))

Requires nbconvert.
