Convert LATEX to PDF
What is LATEX?
LaTeX
LaTeX is a document preparation system using TeX typesetting engine with macro packages. Plain text format with backslash commands for formatting, equations, and structure. Excels at mathematical notation, scientific papers, and complex layouts. Compiles to PDF or DVI. Steep learning curve but produces professional typography. Widely used in academic publishing. Files are human-readable text. No practical size limits.
- TEX stores fixed-layout documents with text, formatting, and embedded content
- Read-only format—text extraction required for editing
What is PDF?
PDF (Portable Document Format) preserves exact document layout independently of software or hardware. Based on PostScript, it stores text with embedded fonts (Type 1, TrueType, OpenType), vector graphics, and raster images. Supports encryption, digital signatures, form fields, and annotations. Standardized as ISO 32000. Maximum practical size exceeds 10GB with millions of pages possible.
