Transform TEX to DOTM via Java
On Premise Java API to Render TEX to DOTM without using any third party application
You can convert TEX to DOTM by using two simple steps. First you need to render TEX file to DOC using Aspose.PDF for Java . After that, by using powerful Document Processing API Aspose.Words for Java , you can convert DOC to DOTM. Both APIs come under Aspose.Total for Java package.
Java API to Convert TEX to DOTM
Get Started with Java File Manipulation APIs
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Java directly from a Maven based project and include Aspose.PDF for Java and Aspose.Words for Java in your pom.xml.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .
// load TEX file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.tex");
// save TEX as a DOC
document.save("DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat.DOC);
// load DOC with an instance of Document
Document outputDocument = new com.aspose.words.Document("DocOutput.doc");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.DOTM
outputDocument.save("output.dotm", SaveFormat.DOTM);
Open Password Protected TEX Document via Java
While converting TEX to DOTM, even if your document is password protected, you can still open it using PDF Manipulation API Aspose.PDF for Java . In order to open the encrypted file, you need to create a Document object and open the TEX using the owner’s password.
Document document = new Document("input.tex", "password");
// save TEX as a DOC
document.save("DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat.DOC);
Save DOTM Document to a Database via Java
While saving your input document to DOTM file format, you can also save your document to database instead of a file system. You may need to implement storing and retrieving Document objects to and from a database. This would be necessary if you were implementing any type of content management system. In order to save your DOTM to database it is often necessary to serialize the document to obtain a byte array. This can be done using Aspose.Words for Java API. After getting your byte array, you can store it in the database using SQL statement.
public static void StoreToDatabase(Document doc, Connection mConnection) throws Exception {
// create an output stream which uses byte array to save data
ByteArrayOutputStream aout = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
// save the document to byte array
doc.save(aout, SaveFormat.DOTM);
// get the byte array from output steam
// the byte array now contains the document
byte[] buffer = aout.toByteArray();
// get the filename from the document.
String fileName = doc.getOriginalFileName();
String filePath = fileName.replace("\\", "\\\\");
// create the SQL command.
String commandString = "INSERT INTO Documents (FileName, FileContent) VALUES('" + filePath + "', '" + buffer + "')";
Statement statement = mConnection.createStatement();
statement.executeUpdate(commandString);
}

What is TEX File Format
A TEX file is a plain text file that contains the source code of a LaTeX document. LaTeX is a typesetting system used to create professional-looking documents. It is most commonly used to create papers for academic journals and to typeset books.TEX files are saved in the same directory as the LaTeX document and have a .tex file extension. They can be opened and edited with any text editor, but are typically viewed and compiled using a LaTeX editor, such as TeXnicCenter or Texmaker. When a TEX file is compiled, it is converted into a PDF or DVI file, which can be viewed with a PDF viewer, such as Adobe Reader, or a DVI viewer, such as Yap.
