Large table in Latex gets cut off when outputting to PDF?

I haven't worked with much Latex syntax so I'm not quite sure what stylization changes I need to make here.

I have a large piece of Latex as such:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{longtable}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\begin{longtable}{|l|l|l|} \centering

The outputted PDF, however, looks like this:

enter image description here

Where both the bottom and right side of the table are cut off. I tried using longtable as you can see, but that doesn't seem to do much. I'm not sure if I need to rotate the table, or shift the table right, or allow for extra pages, or what.

A couple of ideas:

  • don't use a tabular inside the longtable. Longtable is meant to be used instead and not around a tabular

  • if your table is already too big to fit the page, don't make it even bigger by manual adding extracolsep

  • use the paper in landscape to get more space

  • reduce the margins

  • use fixed width columns to force line breaks to make the columns smaller

  • the variables names in the first columns are very long and latex won't be able to hyphenate them automatically. Define possible break points

  • place the df values in a new row to make the columns smaller

  • if this all does not help, use bigger paper or split the table in multiple tables with fewer columns
