PDF to LaTeX is a simple converter that turns PDF documents into LaTeX code. It uses a multimodal LLM workflow: the PDF is first converted to images, and then those images are converted to LaTeX. The model is trained on a large dataset of PDFs and their corresponding LaTeX code. It aims to reproduce the content as LaTeX, though very complex documents may vary in success. Images are not copied over; references to image files are used. Users may need to manually place images and adjust packages or fonts in the generated LaTeX.
How to Use PDF to LaTeX
- Upload PDF to convert to LaTeX.
- The tool processes the PDF (images generated, then LaTeX code produced).
- Review the generated LaTeX code, copy or download, and make any necessary adjustments (e.g., adding missing images or tweaking fonts/packages).
What can be converted
- Academic papers, theses, dissertations
- Technical reports and manuals
- Books and lecture notes
- Conference proceedings
- Resumes/CVs and other documents that benefit from LaTeX formatting
How It Works
- Upload a PDF; the system converts pages to images, then generates LaTeX code from those images.
- The LaTeX code is provided as-is with no guarantees on perfect reproduction, especially for highly complex layouts.
- Images referenced in the original PDF are not copied into the LaTeX output; you will need to add image files manually where needed.
Privacy and Data Handling
- No data is collected beyond the PDF-to-LaTeX conversion.
- The PDFs are processed in memory and not written to disk.
- The converted LaTeX code is stored and can be accessed until you delete it.
- The service states that it does not train on your data and provides a privacy policy for details.
Safety and Compliance
- Your content is not used for training purposes; it is processed for conversion only.
Core Features
- PDF to LaTeX conversion via multimodal model (PDF -> images -> LaTeX)
- In-memory processing with no disk storage of uploaded PDFs
- Generated LaTeX code that can be reviewed and edited
- References to images handled via image file references (no automatic image copy)
- Privacy-focused: no training on user data; user-controlled data retention
