How to customize the pdf/zip filename in exporting a notebook

[Xuefeng LIU]

Dear Sir or madam,

Since the name of notebook can have none ASCII characters, I would like to set the name of exported file to be a fixed one, for example, "export.pdf".

Could anyone give me any hint on how to customize the file name, or where to modify the source code?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Xuefeng,

the following give you some of the options available:

$ jupyter nbconvert --help
...
--output=<Unicode> (NbConvertApp.output_base)
Default: ''
overwrite base name use for output files. can only be used when converting
one notebook at a time.


Which mean that you should be able to either pass the `--output export.pdf` flag, or set it globally in you config as `c.NbConvertApp.output_base=‘export.pdf’`.

Thanks,

Hi, Matthias,

Thanks for your response.

It seems that the global option does not work well. Could you give me any further advice?

Below is the config file.

# Configuration file for ipython.
c = get_config()
c.IPKernelApp.pylab = 'inline'
c.IPKernelApp.matplotlib = 'inline'
c.NotebookApp.ip = '*'
c.NotebookApp.open_browser = False
c.NotebookApp.port = 8080
c.PDFExporter.latex_command = ['xelatex', '{filename}']
c.NbConvertApp.output_base='export'

The command to run the notebook is as below:

jupyter-notebook --config=/etc/ces/ipython/profile_myserver/ipython_config.py --notebook-dir=/home/XXXX

Hi there, 

I just did the following : 

$ jupyter nbconvert --generate-config

$ vim ~/.jupyter/jupyter_nbconvert_config.py

# edit the config accordingly.

$ cat ~/.jupyter/jupyter_nbconvert_config.py  | grep -e '^c'

c.NbConvertApp.output_base = 'exported-base-from-config

$ jupyter nbconvert --to latex 'Advance python.ipynb'

[NbConvertApp] Converting notebook Advance python.ipynb to latex

[NbConvertApp] Writing 57050 bytes to exported-base-from-config.tex

$ ls -1 *.tex

exported-base-from-config.tex

(it fails with --to pdf, but I expect that to be a bug, filled as https://github.com/jupyter/nbconvert/issues/144) 

I’m not sure why it does not work for you. Did you modified the right config file ?

I run the "jupyter nbconvert --to pdf" directly, then it woks well.

jupyter nbconvert --to pdf 2D_FEM.ipynb --config=/etc/ces/ipython/profile_myserver/ipython_config.py

But if I download the PDF file from the File menu by using a browser, then the created file name is not following the specified option. (See attached screenshot.)

So, it seems to be a bug of jupyter notebook, that is, the NbConvert option in config file CANNOT is loaded to nbconvert when downloading a notebook as PDF.
