Learn to Convert TeX to PDF and LaTeX to JPG in .NET Solutions

Aspose.TeX for .NET supports converting TeX files to multiple formats, including PDF and XPS. Developers can export TeX to PDF documents and images within their .NET solutions using the API methods. Converting LaTeX files to raster images is another functionality available to end users. In this section, we will learn how to programmatically convert TeX to PDF and LaTeX to JPG using the .NET typesetting API.

Convert TeX to PDF using C#

Let’s review the following coding example to learn how to accurately convert TeX to PDF using the .NET library for typesetting.

  • Create the typesetting options for the default ObjectTeX format.
  • Specify the console or memory stream as an output terminal.
  • Apply the options for rendering to PDF format.
  • Use the TexJob class constructor & save the output PDF with the PdfDevice class object.
String dataDir = @"D:\test\";
// Create typesetting options for the default ObjectTeX format.
TeXOptions options = TeXOptions.ConsoleAppOptions(TeXConfig.ObjectTeX());

// Specify a file system working directory for input.
options.InputWorkingDirectory = new InputFileSystemDirectory(dataDir);

// Specify a file system working directory for output.
options.OutputWorkingDirectory = new OutputFileSystemDirectory(dataDir);

// Specify memory stream as output terminal.
options.TerminalOut = new OutputMemoryTerminal();

// Set options for rendering into PDF format.
options.SaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();

// Run typesetting.
new TeXJob("hello-world", new PdfDevice(), options);

Convert LaTeX to JPG in .NET

Our library supports exporting LaTeX files to images, including PNG and JPG. The following example showcases converting LaTeX to JPG.

  • Load the input LaTeX file.
  • Create the conversion options using the TeXOptions class object.
  • Instantiate the JpegSaveOptions class object.
  • Perform LaTeX to JPG conversion using the TexJob class.
// Load the input LaTEX or TEX file
byte[] bytes = File.ReadAllBytes("helloworld.ltx");            
Stream stream = new MemoryStream(bytes);

// Create conversion options for Object LaTeX format on Object TeX engine extension.
TeXOptions options = TeXOptions.ConsoleAppOptions(TeXConfig.ObjectLaTeX);

// Specify the file system working directory for the output.
options.OutputWorkingDirectory = new OutputFileSystemDirectory(dataDir);

// Initialize the options for saving in JPG format.
options.SaveOptions = new JpegSaveOptions();

// Run LaTeX to JPG conversion.
new TeXJob(stream, new ImageDevice(), options).Run();
