Step 2: Create Conversion Options

Set up your conversion options for the Object LaTeX format, specifying a working directory for the output:

TeXOptions options = TeXOptions.ConsoleAppOptions(TeXConfig.ObjectLaTeX);
options.OutputWorkingDirectory = new OutputFileSystemDirectory("Your Output Directory");

Step 3: Specify Input Directory

Define the directory containing the necessary input files, including any required packages:

options.RequiredInputDirectory = new InputFileSystemDirectory(Path.Combine("Your Input Directory", "packages"));

Step 4: Initialize Save Options

Next, prepare your save options for outputting the document in PNG format:

options.SaveOptions = new PngSaveOptions();

Step 5: Execute LaTeX to PNG Conversion

Use the TeXJob class to perform the conversion of your LaTeX document to PNG:

new TeXJob(Path.Combine("Your Input Directory", "required-input-fs.tex"), new ImageDevice(), options).Run();
