Exporting figures from Bokeh as svg or pdf?

In the meantime... as a workaround, until we get a native support, you can use phantom.js to convert the HTML output into a pdf file. We use it in our example testing directory to convert HTML generated plots into png images, but you could also get pdf images:

• https://github.com/ContinuumIO/bokeh/blob/master/examples/test#L217

And more info here:

There is no way to save PDF currently, but as of Bokeh 0.12.6, it is now possible to export PNG and SVG directly from Python code.

Exporting PNGs looks like this

export_png(plot, filename="plot.png")

And exporting SVGs looks like this

plot.output_backend = "svg"
export_svgs(plot, filename="plot.svg")

There are some optional dependencies that need to be installed. You can find more information in the Exporting Plots section of the User Guide.
