MATLAB: It’s possible to use pdf extensiont in Document Class for Matlab release 2015 b? How

document classMATLABprogrammatically pdf creationreport generator

I've found this example on http://it.mathworks.com/help/rptgen/ug/create-a-table-of-contents.html

* import mlreportgen.dom.*;

d = Document('mydoc','pdf');

open(d);*

but it doesn't work on Matlab 2015b

The error is:

Error using mlreportgen.dom.Document
Invalid format: "pdf"

How can I use 'pdf' extension in Matlab 2015b for Document class?

The direct PDF creation including TOC was added in R2016a.

To generate PDF prior to R2016a, create the document with 'docx' instead of 'pdf' and then at the end use rptview(reportPath,'pdf') to convert to PDF.

To generate a report from a DOM-based document object:

Derive your report class from mlreportgen.dom.Document class, for example

% MyReport.m
class MyReport < mlreportgen.dom.Document
    method
       function rpt = MyReport(name)
          rpt@mlreportgen.dom.Document(name, 'docx', 'MyTemplate');
       end
    end
end

Provide a public fill<HOLEID> method for each hole in your report template, where HOLEID is the name of the hole, for example,

    class MyReport < mlreportgen.dom.Document
        method
           function rpt = MyReport(name)
              rpt@mlreportgen.dom.Document(name, 'docx', 'MyTemplate');
           end
           % This method is called by mlreportgen.dom.Document's fill method.
           % Do not call it yourself.
           function fillReportDate(rpt)
               append(rpt, date);
           end
        end
    end

Create a report program (i.e., script or function) to run the report.
In the report program, create an instance of your report class and call its fill method (inherited from mlreportgen.dom.Document class), for example,

% runMyReport.m
rpt = MyReport('myreport');
fill(rpt);
rptview(rpt.OutputPath);

MATLAB: Error when deriving class from mlreportgen.dom.Document super-class

Solved previously by staff member Sean de Wolski, "... the DOM API was released in R2014b so you'll need to upgrade to that release or newer".
