Code to PDF

---

⚠️ If you are using Firefox: Have a look at the known issues here

This extension can be used to convert your code into a PDF File like it works with IntelliJ. It works with single code files as well as with whole Directories. It uses puppeteer-core under the hood so you need Firefox or Chrome installed.

Features

• Convert whole directories or single files of code into PDFs.
• Syntax Highlighting thanks to Prism.js for every major language.
• easy to use via commands or the explorer context menu.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• codeToPdf.openHTMLPageInBrowser
  • default: false
  • opens a browser window with the html which will be converted to pdf
• codeToPdf.ignoredFileExtensions
  • default: [".txt", ".pdf",".jpg",".jpeg",".png",".xlsx",".docx",".pptx",".ico"]
  • Stores file extensions which will be ignored when converting to pdf e.g. ['.html']
• codeToPdf.pathForBrowserExec
  • default: ""
  • Usable for MacOS Users when the Browser is not installed in the default location

Release Notes

Known Issues when using Firefox

• Firefox cannot be closed with puppeteer: Because of a locked user profile puppeteer cannot close firefox. The task has to be cancelled manually.
• PDF colors can look blurred: The converted PDF can looked blurred. A workarround is to enable the openHTMLPageInBrowser option and convert it manually.
