writing data frame to pdf table

Question

I have a data frame which I would like to write it to a pdf file in organized fashion.

For example, my df looks like this:

Date    County    Trade
1         


        

Answer 1

The grid.table solution will be the quickest way to create a PDF for short tables, but this solution will not work as is if you have a table that's longer than 1 page. RStudio + knitr + longtable is probably the way to go to create nicely formatted PDFs. What you'll need is something like:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{longtable}
\begin{document}

<>=
library(xtable)

df = data.frame(matrix(rnorm(400), nrow=100))
xt = xtable(df)
print(xt, 
      tabular.environment = "longtable",
      floating = FALSE
      )
@
\end{document}

Pls see this post for more details.
