Org mode Export to PDF
Org mode Export to PDF ATTACH
I use org-mode to document many things, but many are for my future self. Recently, a need to share my document(s) with others. The org-mode file contained a few headings with notes, some images, and a table of information. While experimenting with exporting the org-mode file to PDF I found the following helpful.
Depending on the size of the org-mode file, you may want the table of
contents (toc
). Add #+OPTIONS: toc:t
to the top of your org-mode
file. But if you do not want the table of contents add this
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
to the top of your org-mode file. To learn more
about this org-mode table of contents go here 1.
Learning about exporting images from an org-mode file was
interesting. If you use org-insert-link
2 to link to an image
file and add a description. The resulting exported file will contain a
link to an image instead of displaying the image. There are two
options to get an image to display in org-mode exports. The first is
to use org-insert-link
and insert a link to an image file without a
description. The second option is to insert a link like
[[./an/image-file.png/]]
.
Note: You will need pdf2latex
program to be able to export a PDF
from an org file.
Here is an example org file and here is an example pdf file exported from the example org file.
