Converts a folder of source code to a fully syntax-highlighted PDF

• Syntax highlights code (uses syntect for highlighting and two-face for syntax definitions)
• Automatically handles line wrapping and page overflowing
• Fast. Processing runs in parallel on multiple cores
• Error-tolerant
• Configurable (custom file exclusions, output filename, fonts)
• Displays images
• Respects ignore globs in .ignore and .gitignore (uses ignore)

cargo install code-to-pdf

Installs a pre-built binary if it is available for your system

cargo binstall code-to-pdf

Navigate to the latest release

Run the correct installer script for your system, or just download the correct binary directly

git clone https://github.com/Tommypop2/code-to-pdf
cargo install --path ./code-to-pdf

c2pdf .

This walks the current folder and generates a syntax-highlighted PDF of all files in that folder

c2pdf . --exclude pnpm-lock.yaml,*.lock

c2pdf . --out custom_name.pdf

Supports loading fonts from a path or the system fonts

# From a path
c2pdf . --font fonts/Helvetica.ttf
# From system fonts
c2pdf . --font "Arial"

c2pdf . --font-size 12.5 # 12.0 by default

c2pdf . --margin-top 20 --margin-bottom 5 --margin-left 10 --margin-right 10 # (these are the defaults)

This is text that is added to every page

c2pdf . --page-text "Hello\nWorld" # (use `\n` to indicate a newline)

Generated PDFs can be decoded - recreating the original source tree which they were generated from

dc2pdf ./generated_pdf.pdf --out-dir ./generated # Default out-dir is `./generated`
