Anyway to output Stata (14) results to word or PDF?

[Tom Hsiung]

I can print out the results and the display is very nice. But any way to electronic document?

Yes, translate can output PDF files. Did you read help translate?

[Maarten Buis]

If you want to directly write to a Microsoft Word or pdf file from Stata 14 you can use Mata: see: help mf _docx and help mf pdf.

Alternatively, you can use translate to translatesmcl files (which you create using log using ) to pdf files:

log using c:\temp\foo, replace
sysuse auto
reg price c.weight##i.foreign
log close
translate c:\temp\foo.smcl c:\temp\foo.pdf, translator(smcl2pdf)

The log function creates a text file. If you choose the log extension instead of smcl, you can read the text file into a word processor or whatever. If you only want results, there are many routines including outreg2 that produce word or excel files including results tables set up in standard publication formats.
