how to print scripts in PDF on a mac os x?

The MATAB print command does not allow me to use PDF. How can I print the scripts in PDF in MATLAB?

Answer 1

I don't know that this is possible directly from MATLAB, but since MATLAB scripts are basically text files, why not open them up in any other text reader or word processing software and print to PDF?

EDIT:

The PUBLISH command can be used to achieve this. Try:

publish('myfile.m','pdf')

Note that you need to suppress any statement output with a semicolon, if you do not want the output of the statement to be published.

Which version are you using? With current versions, you can use print

print -dpdf

Sorry about earlier - actually, I just remembered that you can use the PUBLISH command to do this. I edited my answer above.

When you paste or drag a selection from the Editor to another application, such as Microsoft Word, the pasted text maintains the syntax highlighting colors and font characteristics from the Editor. MATLAB software pastes the selection to the Clipboard in RTF format, which many Microsoft Windows and Macintosh applications support.

@Walter, it's a pity you didn't post this as a separate answer. I'd like to vote for it!
