jupyterlite-pdf-exporter, version 0.1.0

A serverless PDF exporter for JupyterLite based on WebAssembly distributions of Pandoc and Typst. This JupyterLite extension registers a PDF exporter with JupyterLite's INbConvertExporters interface.

Usage

• Install this extension in your JupyterLite deployment via pip install jupyterlite-pdf-exporter and rebuild your JupyterLite distribution.
• Open a notebook in JupyterLite, click on the "File" menu, and select "Save and Export Notebook As" > "PDF". The PDF file will be downloaded to your local machine at a location of your choice.

Requirements

• JupyterLite 0.7.0 and later
• A modern web browser with support for WebAssembly and Web Workers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and so on). All browsers supported by JupyterLite should work with this extension.
• The extension relies on WebAssembly distributions of Pandoc and Typst. These distributions are quite large (over 50 MiB) and may take some time to download and initialise when the extension is first used. For a better user experience, it is recommended to use this extension in an environment with a stable and reasonably fast internet connection.

Installation

To install the extension into your JupyterLite deployment, execute:

pip install jupyterlite-pdf-exporter

and rebuild your JupyterLite distribution.

Uninstalling the extension

To remove the extension from your JupyterLite deployment, execute:

pip uninstall jupyterlite-pdf-exporter

and rebuild your JupyterLite distribution.
