Abstract. Stata users often need to combine text, tables, and figures. The
author’s command, lpdf, generates reports and other PDF documents. lpdf compiles
text stored in global macros, tables stored as dataset tables or LATEX table
input files, and figures stored as Stata graphs or PDF figure files. LATEX must be
installed, but familiarity with LATEX is not necessary. lpdf performs every step
through Stata and with Stata syntax. It generates documents in report or article
style and portrait or landscape orientation. The default author name, document
title, and date can be modified. Further format options include the font and margin
sizes. For each table and figure, the width and layout can be adapted. Stata
users with LATEX skills may benefit from additional possibilities. The lpdf adofile
includes two other useful commands called latexize and latext. latexize
processes the content of string variables to properly type special characters and
symbols in LATEX input files. latext modifies text stored in global macros in the
same way.
