Overview

About

Maintained by Tim BergsmaFirst published 2017-09-275 releasesCRAN page ↗

Converts table-like objects to stand-alone PDF or PNG. Can be used to embed tables and arbitrary content in PDF or Word documents. Provides a low-level R interface for creating 'LaTeX' code, e.g. command() and a high-level interface for creating PDF documents, e.g. as.pdf.data.frame(). Extensive customization is available via mid-level functions, e.g. as.tabular(). See also 'package?latexpdf'. Support for PNG is experimental; see 'as.png.data.frame'. Adapted from 'metrumrg' https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=1215. Requires a compatible installation of 'pdflatex', e.g. https://miktex.org/.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("latexpdf", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-latexpdf

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-latexpdf

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-latexpdf

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
