This article walks you through an enterprise-level TeX API for Java programmers to manipulate TeX files programmatically. Aspose.TeX not only offers manipulation/creation features but also provides various file format conversion features. In this blog post, we will see how to install this file conversion API and implement the functionality to convert TeX to image using Java. You can opt for this library to convert TeX to almost all popular image file formats. However, in this article, we will explore how to convert TeX to BMP using Aspose.TeX for Java.
We will cover the following points in this article:
- TeX API Installation - Aspose.Tex for Java
- Convert TEX to BMP in Java Programmatically
- Create BMP Online
TeX API Installation - Aspose.Tex for Java
Aspose.TeX for Java comes with flexible typesetting with multiple output formats. In addition, this file conversion API provides a solid mechanism to convert Tex to images such as PNG, TIFF, PDF, and more. The installation process of this developer-friendly library is very simple and robust. For the installation, you can download this JAR file or use the following Maven configurations:

Convert TeX to BMP in Java Programmatically
So far, we have installed this TeX API. Now, we will write a code sample to implement the programmatic Tex to BMP conversion. Please be aware, that we have a source Tex file that will be used for the conversion.
The following steps demonstrate how to convert TeX to BMP in Java:
- Define the working directory.
- Invoke the objectLaTeX method to get the configuration of ObjectTeX engine extension with ObjectLaTeX format preloaded.
- Pass the objectLaTeX method to the consoleAppOptions method of the TeXOptions class.
- Set the output working directory by calling the setOutputWorkingDirectory method.
- Create an instance of the BmpSaveOptions class and pass it to the setSaveOptions method.
- Create a constructor of the TeXJob class.
- Call the run method to run the TeX job
The following code sample shows how to convert TeX to image programmatically:
Upon a successful run, you will see a BMP file created at your given address. The output is shown in the image below:
