Issue with PDF Conversion

Hi - The PDF conversion program that I am using online does not recognize .smcl or .gph files so I'm having trouble converting the log files and figure to PDF.  Any thoughts on how to resolve this? 

Thanks!

See new Forum post from me - OK to upload the .smcl files separately.

Sahar - Another option:

Install a free program called "CutePDF" on your computer (I've been using this for the past 6 years).

http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp

This program sets up a PDF "printer" on your computer.

Then, you can select this program as your printer to "print" your *.smcl or *.gph files, which will then come out as a PDF.

You can then merge all of those PDF files together using the PDF conversion program.

I used www.pdfmerge.com to upload all of my PDF files, and the website compiled all of my PDF files into 1 PDF merged document.

I just learned there is a nice STATA command that converts your .smcl file into .pdf:

 

translate filename.smcl filename.pdf

 

It creates a nice pdf file into the folder you are using and makes all of your tables output very organized. Hope this helps.

Cool! Simpler than the roundabout way I'm using. Thanks for sharing!
