export notebook to pdf without code [duplicate]

Solution 1:

I found this article interesting it explains how to remove the input columns :

you have to create a template file named "hidecode.tplx" in same directory as the notebook you want to convert and add those line in it :

    ((*- extends 'article.tplx' -*))

((* block input_group *))
    ((*- if cell.metadata.get('nbconvert', {}).get('show_code', False) -*))
        ((( super() )))
    ((*- endif -*))
((* endblock input_group *))

And after run this command it will use pdfLatex to convert the notebook in pdf via latex:

jupyter nbconvert --to pdf --template hidecode Example.ipynb

or if you want to edit you can convert it to a .tex document and use pdfLatex to put it in pdf :

jupyter nbconvert --to latex --template hidecode Example.ipynb

EDIT Sept 2018:

ipython nbconvert is deprecated. It will be replaced by jupyter nbconvert: So we replace the command ipython with jupyter

EDIT Feb 2021: (This is my best answer here, so let me take care of it)

Following @Mrule comment adding --no-input flag will make it work without the template...

jupyter nbconvert --to latex --no-input Example.ipynb 

PS: If you are getting issue saying :

LaTeX error related to tcolorbox.sty not found

Solution 2:

I was seeking the same question in SO and finally turned out to a very straightforward way:

Assuming using Firefox(57) + Win7

1. Run Jupyter notebook and download the notebook in the browser: File->Download as->HTML and you will get a html page with code and output.
2. Open the exported HTML with browser and activate the browser console with key F12

3. Run following command in the console:

   document.querySelectorAll("div.input").forEach(function(a){a.remove()})
   

4. The code removes all input div DOM. Then right mouse button and chose "Save Page As" and Save the "Complete page" (not single page).

5. You will get a page with an associated folder in windows. Use a trick by zip the html page and then extract to unbind the associated. The folder is useless.

6. Now it is a single html page without code. You can re-distribute it or print it as PDF.

If you are not using Firefox or Windows, please adjust the above 3-6 steps.
