help for hlp2pdf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Print help file to PDF or PS

Syntax

        hlp2pdf command [, REPLACE]

Description

    hlp2pdf prints the help file for a Stata command (official or
    user-written) to PDF format via the Viewer in Mac OS X, where PDF is a
    native format supported by all applications. For other systems, hlp2pdf
    creates a PostScript file (.ps) which may be converted to PDF with an
    appropriate translator (e.g. ps2pdf for *nix).  The PDF (or PS) file is
    created in the current working directory (pwd).  You may have to adjust
    the width of the Viewer manually before using the command to ensure that
    the text is not truncated.

Options

    replace specifies that the existing file is to be overwritten.

Saved results

    r(printfile) is the name of the file created, with directory name
    prefixed.
