I made a string expressed in StandardForm format.

str = "Plot[Sin[\!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\(x\), \
\(2\)]\)]+\!\(\*SqrtBox[FractionBox[\(x\), \(2\)]]\),{x,0,3}]";

enter image description here

And I want to save this as a PDF file.

NotebookPrint[ str, StringJoin[NotebookDirectory[],   "tset1.pdf"]]

If you open the PDF file, it doesn't look like StandardForm.

enter image description here

Can I use NotebookPrint to save PDF files in StandardForm format?

If I use Export, I can save PDF files in the desired form.

Export[ StringJoin[NotebookDirectory[], "tset2.pdf"], str]

However, there is one big problem with this. If the string is very long and is one page long, the page cannot be divided.

I want to make a PDF file so that I can keep the StandardForm format and separate pages for long sentences.

  • $\begingroup$ How about str = "Plot[Sin[\!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\(x\), \ \(2\)]\)]+\!\(\*SqrtBox[FractionBox[\(x\), \(3\)]]\),{x,0,3}]"; NotebookPrint[str // MakeExpression // Apply@HoldForm, "tset1.pdf"]? $\endgroup$

Turn the comment to an answer:

NotebookPrint[str // MakeExpression // Apply@HoldForm, "tset1.pdf"]
"tset1.pdf" // SystemOpen
