Problem when loading a pdf with svg figures

FAQ on notebooks Running the notebooks locally
#1

Hello,

first, I would like to thank you for this very interesting and well done course on machine learning.
I have been waiting for several years to assist such a great lesson on this subject.

I open this new topic to talk about a problem when we want to load a PDF file from a notebook including svg figures. When I try, a webpage opens with a message ‘500 : Internal Server Error’. It would be very convenient to have an access to the PDF version of notebooks !

I also take this opportunity to add that in another very good mooc, teachers have put all their text resources in a single PDF accessible in the ‘Informations of the course’ which is a very useful format to keep.

Thanks again for this well structured course !

Thanks for kind words!

I think the consensus on our side if that’s if you want to install the necessary tools to convert the notebooks to PDF locally, you are more welcome to do, but that the pedagogical team does not have the bandwidth to help you on this front.

If you do find a solution to your issue, it would be great if you post your solution in this forum!

Hi,

thank you for the answer.
Currently, I load the tex file, screen shot the pictures and add them manually in the tex. It works but takes a long time. That is the reason why I was asking if you were aware of the problem and knew a better solution.
I will continue to proceed that way.

If I wanted to do it myself, I would use git clone the repo as per the instructions in Jupyter local installation and try to use nbconvert to convert notebooks into PDF.

This might need some tweaking to get the setup right, although I have never done it
