Export LaTeX to Word in C#

Follow this article to convert LaTeX to Word in C#. It shares all the details on how to configure the console-based LaTeX engine, a list of steps, and a complete running code for LaTeX to Word conversion in C#. In this process, first, the LaTeX file is converted to a PDF file using Aspose.Tex, and the PDF file is converted to a Word file using the Aspose.Pdf library.

Steps for Converting TEX to Word in C#

  1. Set the IDE to use Aspose.TeX and Aspose.Pdf for converting LaTeX to a Word file
  2. Configure the TeXOptions object to initialize options for a console-based LaTeX engine
  3. Set the output directory where intermediate files will be saved by the engine
  4. Set the SaveOptions to PdfSaveOptions for defining the output type as a PDF file
  5. Execute the LaTeX to PDF transformation using the LaTeX code in the source TEX file
  6. Load the output PDF file into the Aspose.Pdf.Document object and save a Word file

These steps summarize the transformation of format of a file from LaTeX to Word in C#. Commence the process by configuring the console-based LaTeX engine, setting the output directory for the intermediate files, and defining the output file format in the first phase as a PDF file. Execute the transformation from LaTeX to PDF and finally load the resulting PDF file into the Document class object to save it as a Word file.

Code for TEX to Word Converter in C#

This code has demonstrated the process for developing a LaTeX to DOCX converter in C#. The TeXOptions class object is used to specify that we are using the LaTex engine and not he plain TeX or other variations. During the intermediate transformation where the TEX file is converted to PDF, you may load and customize it before final transformation to a Word file such as split the PDF file, reorder or delete pages, rotate the pages, and set the Watermark to list a few.
