| Oct 27, 2016 at 13:26 | comment | added | Mockup Dungeon | Yes, but if I understand correctly only if there is some plain text. What I have is not just plain text, but basically a grid that has text in it. Probably focusing on text was not the best to start with. It is more like getting a long Grid on multiple pages. | |
| Oct 25, 2016 at 18:08 | comment | added | george2079 | I don't follow. Export["myList.pdf", report]; does just that, it creates a multi-page pdf. In my example I Import it back in to show what it looks like. | |
| Oct 25, 2016 at 14:38 | comment | added | Mockup Dungeon | Thanks for this. While playing around a little more, I found that I can produce this result, then right click on the output cell, select Save Selection, save as pdf – and get all nicely on pages. So, Mathematica seems to be capable of doing it. Now if it were possible to write code to save the output Cell as a pdf that should possibly easily solve this. I just don't know how to save an output cell as pdf. Do you maybe? | |

| Oct 24, 2016 at 21:51 | comment | added | george2079 | added the Grid example. The hard part of this will be to figure how much text goes on each page. | |

| Oct 24, 2016 at 20:50 | comment | added | Mockup Dungeon | You could also use just Grid, no difference, except for the correct line breaks. I'm not sure what you mean, as I want to export the list and don't see how this can be done with your suggestion. I'd like to have the result on simply regular pages, like you get in any word processor program. | |

| Oct 24, 2016 at 19:19 | comment | added | Mockup Dungeon | I should have made an example – now added above. I can't get this to work with your solution. I thought there might be some simple export option such as ".doc" (Export["exp.doc",text]), but it seems there isn't. | |
