How to Use Output Formats in Python

Aspose.TeX FOSS for Python supports three output formats through interchangeable device classes: PDF via PdfDevice, DVI via DviDevice, and SVG via SvgDevice. Each device is passed as the second argument to TeXJob. PdfDevice and DviDevice return bytes from the run() call. SvgDevice stores per-page SVG data internally; retrieve it with get_all_pages() after run() returns.

Produce PDF

from aspose_tex import TeXJob, TeXOptions, PdfDevice, StringInputSource

pdf_bytes = TeXJob(StringInputSource("Hello!"), PdfDevice(), options=TeXOptions()).run()
with open("output.pdf", "wb") as f:
    f.write(pdf_bytes)

Produce SVG

from aspose_tex import TeXJob, TeXOptions, SvgDevice, StringInputSource

device = SvgDevice()
TeXJob(StringInputSource("Hello!"), device, options=TeXOptions()).run()
svg_pages = device.get_all_pages()
with open("page0.svg", "wb") as f:
    f.write(svg_pages[0])

Produce DVI

from aspose_tex import TeXJob, TeXOptions, DviDevice, StringInputSource

dvi_bytes = TeXJob(StringInputSource("Hello!"), DviDevice(), options=TeXOptions()).run()
with open("output.dvi", "wb") as f:
    f.write(dvi_bytes)
