LaTeX is a document preparation software that enables high-quality typesetting, popular in academic circles for publishing scientific and technical papers. It uses source files with a tex extension, where authors focus on content instead of design. LaTeX separates content and formatting, providing consistent styling throughout documents. This separation allows users to concentrate on content without worrying about format. The software has been around since the 1980s and has gained popularity, with 6 million users on online platforms as of 2020. New packages are regularly submitted, and support is maintained through regular release dates. LaTeX offers advantages such as free pricing, cross-platform compatibility, and longevity, making it an attractive alternative to traditional word processors for generating high-quality PDF documents. The DynamicDocs API uses LaTeX to generate dynamic PDF documents with transactional content, tables, and charts, providing a new level of automated PDF generation via an API.
