# Exporting combined data plots as a PDF file [closed]

I am trying to export a graph similar to the one attached as PDF. I am having troubles with the error bars and legends.

Is there a simple example someone can share and demonstrate how to do this?

Please add data to reproduce the plot and code/details to show us what your problem is. – Yves Klett Nov 3 '13 at 9:17
Looking at the picture I'd say the problem is that some error bars are (partly) dropped. The one on the bottom of the plot exhibits an artifact. The problem with the legend is not readily apparent.I'm not sure about the color of the error bars. They should be in the color of the individual lines. – Sjoerd C. de Vries Nov 3 '13 at 10:38

The following works for me (Mathematica 9.0.1, Win7-64):

Needs["ErrorBarPlots"]

pl =
ErrorListPlot[
Table[{j Sqrt[i], Max[0.2, RandomReal[1]]}, {j, 1, 4}, {i, 10}],
Joined -> True,
PlotLegends ->
Placed[LineLegend[{"One fish", "Two fish", "Red fish", "Blue fish"},
LegendFunction -> Frame,
Background -> White
],
{Scaled[{0.03, 0.75}], {0, 0.5}}
],
Frame -> True,
GridLines -> {None, Automatic},
ImagePadding -> {{20, 10}, {20, 10}}
]


Exporting:

Export["C:\\yourPath\\plot.pdf", pl]
`

And here a screendump of the PDF as seen in Adobe Acrobat:

thanks a lot this is great. What about the X axis? – Doron Nov 3 '13 at 18:33
@Doron. You're speaking in riddles. What's wrong with the x-axis? – Sjoerd C. de Vries Nov 3 '13 at 19:18
Sjored C. de Vries: you are right. Please excuse me it is all OK. – Doron Nov 3 '13 at 19:59
