Apps Best format for showing latex files?

[vikkevest]

Hello, im developing an application that is going to essentially list and show a bunch of pictures (one view, one picture) with text and tables.

As of now the resources that we are going to show are in latex format. What format makes the least hassle to convert the latex to and show in android if we want it to work for versions 2.2+?

Normal bitmat images would be easiest I think, but my client want's vector-based format for maximum quality.

What would you recommend? I just want to show the images not manipulate them. Should I try PDF, or SVG? I was also thinking about HTML, or any other suggestion? And with any suggestion what lib is recommended for that format?

Thank you!

For Pdftex the best vector format ist PDF. Many programs can output PDF. Inkscape for example has good PDF output. As for raster images PNG is the best as long as you don’t include photopraphs, then it’s good old JPEG.

In plain Latex you can only include EPS, but it depends on how the EPS was generated. EPS can contain both vector and raster images. It’s basically only a container format.

Yes PDF seems quite practical, can anyone recommend any pdf lib to use for android? I heard that mupdf is the best among the free ones.
