SmartyDoc provides an easy-to-use pipeline helping Jupyter users to create gorgeous PDF documents, especially for data analytics field. It provides convenient tools to convert Jupyter Notebook ipynb file into a HTML page with 'standard' structure, thus the users could render the page with customized css file, and further export to PDF format.

We also provide a Jupyter Notebook Extension named printview2, helping you to create PDF document with few clicks.

The pipeline is based on various libraries, i.e. WeasyPrint, Plotly.
