Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
Convert Protected TEX to XLSM via C#
If your TEX document is password protected, you cannot convert it to XLSM without the password. Using the API, you can first open the protected document using a valid password and convert it after it. In order to open the encrypted file, you can initialize a new instance of the Document class and pass the filename and password as arguments.
Convert TEX File to XLSM with Watermark via C#
While converting TEX file to XLSM, you can also add watermark to your output XLSM file format. In order to add a watermark, you can create a new Workbook object and open the converted XLSX document, select Worksheet via its index, create a Shape and use its AddTextEffect function.

What is TEX File Format?
The TeX file format is a typesetting system developed by Donald Knuth in the late 1970s. It is widely used in academia, particularly in the fields of mathematics, physics, and computer science, for creating professional-looking documents with complex mathematical formulas and symbols. TeX files are plain text files that contain a mixture of text and formatting commands.
TeX provides a powerful and flexible way to produce high-quality documents. It allows precise control over the layout and formatting of the document, including fonts, spacing, line breaks, page breaks, and mathematical equations. TeX uses a macro language that enables users to define their own commands and create custom styles and templates.
TeX files are typically processed by a TeX engine, such as pdfTeX or XeTeX, which reads the input file, interprets the formatting commands, and generates a typeset document in a variety of output formats, such as PDF, DVI, or PostScript. The typesetting process involves multiple passes, where the engine analyzes the document, resolves cross-references, and adjusts the layout to ensure optimal spacing and line breaks.
TeX is known for its exceptional typesetting quality and its ability to handle complex mathematical notation. It is widely used in academic publications, research papers, books, and technical documentation. The TeX format supports various extensions, such as LaTeX, which provides higher-level commands and document classes for easier document authoring.
What is XLSM File Format?
The XLSM file format is another file format used by Microsoft Excel, and it stands for Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook. Similar to XLSB, XLSM files offer additional functionality and capabilities compared to the standard XLSX format.
XLSM files are designed to store spreadsheet data that includes macros. Macros are small programs or scripts that automate tasks within Excel. With the XLSM format, users can create, edit, and execute macros directly within the workbook. This makes XLSM files particularly useful for automating repetitive tasks, performing complex calculations, or creating customized functions.
By enabling macros, XLSM files allow users to enhance the functionality of their spreadsheets. Macros can be written using the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language, providing a powerful tool for customization and automation within Excel.
One of the main advantages of the XLSM format is its ability to store and execute macros seamlessly. When an XLSM file is opened, Excel enables the macros contained within the file, allowing users to utilize the automation and customization features provided by the macros.
However, it’s important to note that due to potential security risks, some Excel versions may prompt users to enable or disable macros when opening an XLSM file. This is done to protect against potentially malicious macros that could harm the system or compromise data.
