Publish pdf from compiled executable via MCR

Hi,

I'm trying to use the publish function in a compiled set of code on a customers site.

I've made this simple function to illustrate the problem.

function PublishPdfTest

CurrentDirectory = pwd;

doc_options.format = 'pdf';
doc_options.showCode = false;

mkdir('TEST_REPORT');
doc_options.outputDir      = [CurrentDirectory '\TEST_REPORT'];

try
publish('SomeFunction.m',doc_options)

catch err
    save('error.mat','err')
end

end

Where SomeFunction.m

function SomeFunction

for ii = 1:3
    figure
    plot(rand(50,1))

end
close all

end

I then compile using

mcc -e -R '-Logfile,PublishPdfTest.err' PublishPdfTest

When I run the .exe i get the following err

load('error.mat')

err.message = 'Undefined function or variable 'publish''

Is the functionality of the matlab function publish avalible to standalone executable via the MCR ?

I'm running matlab 2013a on windows XP with MCR for 2013a installed.

are there any alternative methods of producing pdfs

Thanks in advance.

Chris

the short answer to your question would be NO, see http://www.mathworks.co.uk/help/compiler/unsupported-functions.html

Probably not what you wanted to hear (nor me).
