Aspose.TeX for .NET is a powerful library for typesetting TeX/LaTeX files and converting them to various output formats. It enables C#, VB.NET, and ASP.NET developers to create, process, and render LaTeX documents without installing any third-party TeX distribution.

Key Features

LaTeX Conversion

Convert LaTeX files to multiple output formats:

• PDF — high-quality typeset documents
• XPS — XML Paper Specification format
• SVG — scalable vector graphics
• PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP — raster image formats

Math Formula Rendering

Render LaTeX math formulas as standalone images:

• Output to PNG (with configurable resolution) and SVG
• Custom preamble support for math packages (amsmath, amsfonts, amssymb)
• Configurable text color, background color, and scale

LaTeX Graphics

• Include external graphics via \includegraphics (PNG, EPS, PDF)
• Embed graphics directly using Base64 encoding

LaTeX File Repair

• Validate and repair incomplete or broken LaTeX files
• Automatically add missing preamble structures (\documentclass, \begin{document}, etc.)
• Generate validation reports

Custom TeX Format

• Create and use custom TeX format files
• Support for ObjectTeX, ObjectLaTeX, and Plain TeX configurations

Supported File Formats

Code Examples

Convert LaTeX to PDF

using Aspose.TeX;
using Aspose.TeX.IO;
using Aspose.TeX.Presentation.Pdf;

TeXOptions options = TeXOptions.ConsoleAppOptions(TeXConfig.ObjectLaTeX);
options.InputWorkingDirectory = new InputFileSystemDirectory("input");
options.OutputWorkingDirectory = new OutputFileSystemDirectory("output");
options.SaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();

new TeXJob("document.tex", new PdfDevice(), options).Run();

Render LaTeX Math Formula to PNG

using Aspose.TeX.Features;
using System.Drawing;
using System.IO;

PngMathRendererOptions options = new PngMathRendererOptions
{
    Resolution = 300,
    Scale = 1000,
    TextColor = Color.Black,
    BackgroundColor = Color.White
};

PngMathRenderer renderer = new PngMathRenderer();

using (Stream stream = File.Create("formula.png"))
{
    renderer.Render(@"\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} dx = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}", stream, options);
}

Convert LaTeX to SVG

using Aspose.TeX;
using Aspose.TeX.IO;
using Aspose.TeX.Presentation.Svg;

TeXOptions options = TeXOptions.ConsoleAppOptions(TeXConfig.ObjectLaTeX);
options.InputWorkingDirectory = new InputFileSystemDirectory("input");
options.OutputWorkingDirectory = new OutputFileSystemDirectory("output");
options.SaveOptions = new SvgSaveOptions();

new TeXJob("document.tex", new SvgDevice(), options).Run();

Repair a Broken LaTeX File

using Aspose.TeX.Features;
using Aspose.TeX.IO;

LaTeXRepairerOptions options = new LaTeXRepairerOptions();
options.InputWorkingDirectory = new InputFileSystemDirectory("input");
options.OutputWorkingDirectory = new OutputFileSystemDirectory("output");

new LaTeXRepairer("broken.tex", options).Run();
// Output: broken-fixed.tex (repaired file) + broken.log (validation report)

Licensing

Aspose.TeX for .NET works in evaluation mode without a license, adding watermarks to the output. To remove evaluation limitations, apply a license before processing:

Aspose.TeX.License license = new Aspose.TeX.License();
license.SetLicense("Aspose.TeX.lic");

Get a temporary license for full-featured evaluation without watermarks.

Platform Support

Supported OS: Windows, Linux, macOS (any platform supporting .NET Standard 2.0+)
