Convert LaTeX file to Pdf in C# Windows Form Application

Question

Is it possible to convert a tex/latex file into pdf in a C# Windows Form Application with an embedded translator?

I would like to be able to create pdf file from (la)tex file even when pdflatex is not installed on the computer.

Currently, I use MigraDoc for creating pdf files, but I consider latex more powerful.

Answer 1

You can use Pandoc as an external program in your windows app. Please ref to http://pandoc.org/index.html . This is a tool for converting text file, like Markdown to Http.

Answer 2

You can do this by using Aspose.Pdf nuget package. Here is the code to do so:

string dataDir = @"PATH TO LATEX FILE";
LatexLoadOptions Latexoptions = new LatexLoadOptions();
Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "sample.tex", Latexoptions);
doc.Save(dataDir + "TeXToPDF_out.pdf");
