Multiple Figures to PDF's

Hey all,

I'm wondering if there is a way to save multiple figures to a single PDF. I'd like to be able to plot multiple plots first, and then save them all simultaneously to a pdf that appends them all - so I have a single pdf with multiple pages. Is this possible?

p.s. I have done this in the past with some code, but it's quite old and sluggish, I'm wondering if there is a maltab integrated command or series of commands for this.

Release 2021b now supports exporting to a multipage pdf using the exportgraphics function

Export_fig has an -append option which you can use to save multiple figures to the same PDF. However, this becomes slower the larger the PDF becomes.

Alternatively you can save the figures to separate PDFs (using print or export_fig), then concatenate them all into one PDF using append_pdfs. This is faster when saving many figures.

I used Export_fig to a PDF file with the -append option... it works as promised, that means very good! Just add a first figure with "set(gca,'visible','off')" and some explanations using text(x,y,'text), then you'll have a presentation in PDF format ready to be sent via mail

You could use print() to print each figure into a .pdf file and then use a third party tool http://www.pdf995.com/ to combine them.
