  • description: In this short video I demonstrate my new package for Emacs. It is called buffer-to-pdf. The idea is to save your current buffer to a PDF, while preserving how it looks. This means that your font size, theme, and other visual effects are preserved and written to the PDF. buffer-to-pdf is not meant to be a replacement for elaborate export methods: consider it a quick yet effective way to get a "screen capture" of your Emacs that you can then share as a document. I believe this will be especially useful for academics or people who need to distribute presentation notes on a regular basis. The package is available here: https://github.com/protesilaos/buffer-to-pdf * * * Find all my publications on my website (including links to all my Emacs work, but also philosophy, poems, and more): https://protesilaos.com
