If you have LaTeX installed you can download as PDF directly from Jupyter notebook with File -> Download as -> PDF via LaTeX (.pdf). Otherwise follow these two steps.

1. For HTML output, you should now use Jupyter in place of IPython and select File -> Download as -> HTML (.html) or run the following command:

    jupyter nbconvert --to html notebook.ipynb  
   

   This will convert the Jupyter document file notebook.ipynb into the html output format.

   Google Colaboratory is Google's free Jupyter notebook environment that requires no setup and runs entirely in the cloud. If you are using Google Colab the commands are the same, but Google Colab only lets you download .ipynb or .py formats.

2. Convert the html file notebook.html into a pdf file called notebook.pdf. In Windows, macOS (brew install wkhtmltodf) or Linux, install wkhtmltopdf. wkhtmltopdf is a command line utility to convert html to pdf using WebKit. You can download wkhtmltopdf from the linked webpage, or in many Linux distros it can be found in their repositories.

    wkhtmltopdf notebook.html notebook.pdf   
   

Original (now almost obsolete) revision: Convert the IPython notebook file to html.

^{ipython nbconvert --to html notebook.ipynb}

A simple and surprisingly good solution is to print the notebook to pdf through the browser with ctrl+p. Just make sure your plots and figures are not on interactive mode otherwise they will not be displayed (set them to %matplotlib inline).

Exporting jupyter notebooks through latex is quite troublesome and takes a lot of tinkering to get something remotely close to publish ready. When I absolutely need publication quality I do it on a latex editor, but this tutorial goes in great length about doing it on jupyter.

A few useful tips to get better results:

• Higher resolution plots
• Hide your code-cells from the pdf
• Take a look at these extensions to improve your jupyter documents
