As my 1st project with Hugo I’d like to remake the resume. Now the academic template appears to be a good starting point and the discussion has 1 reference to making a book but if someone has pointers they’d like to share I’d love to read them.

If your goal is to have a single source that can be generated to both HTML and PDF, I’m not sure Hugo is the best choice (maybe try [Pandoc](http://pandoc.org/) in combination with LaTeX). BUT, you could use Hugo to generate the HTML and then [wkhtmltopdf](http://wkhtmltopdf.org/) to generate the PDF from the HTML/CSS source. I’m not entirely sure you will be able to garner the results that I’m guessing you’re after, but I don’t know the wkhtmltopdf tool well enough to give a definitive answer.

Hi! I am trying to do something similar and was wondering if you managed to get somewhere with your project?

I tryed another way, using CSS for media=“print”. Works now only for single pages.
Using a pdf-printer is the solution for me.
Hugo could generate a book from a single page with the right hacked template.
Has anyone realized a output to LaTeX?

Using Pandoc to generate LaTeX and then a PDF is a handy way.
In your deploy script you can use:
```auto
cd static && pandoc ../content/cv.md -t latex-smart -o cv.pdf
```
This is a more elaborate example you can adjust to your needs:
```auto
cd static && pandoc -r markdown-smart+pipe_tables+table_captions+yaml_metadata_block --pdf-engine=lualatex --top-level-division=chapter --template=$HOME/templates/pandoc.template ../content/cv.md -t latex-smart -o cv.pdf
```
Another way is using Asciidoctor which supports PDF.
This only works locally, of course. I don’t think Netlify et al. support Pandoc(?).

You could download pandoc and unzip it as part of your Netlify build command.

Oh wow! I did not know that. Thanks, @zwbetz.
