Override Job Name and Write Terminal Output in Java

Introduction

Aspose.TeX for Java provides powerful features for working with TeX files, allowing developers to manipulate and customize the TeX document processing. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of overriding the job name and writing terminal output to the file system using Aspose.TeX in Java.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

A working knowledge of Java programming.
Aspose.TeX for Java installed. You can download it from the Aspose.TeX Java documentation.

Import Packages

To get started, import the necessary packages into your Java project. In your Java file, include the following imports:

package com.aspose.tex.OverridenJobNameAndTerminalOutputWrittenToDisk;

import java.io.IOException;

import com.aspose.tex.InputFileSystemDirectory;
import com.aspose.tex.OutputFileSystemDirectory;
import com.aspose.tex.OutputFileTerminal;
import com.aspose.tex.TeXConfig;
import com.aspose.tex.TeXJob;
import com.aspose.tex.TeXOptions;
import com.aspose.tex.rendering.XpsDevice;

import util.Utils;

Override Job Name and Write Terminal Output

Step 1: Create Conversion Options

Begin by creating conversion options for the default ObjectTeX format upon ObjectTeX engine extension. Use the following code snippet:

// ExStart:OverrideJobName-WriteTerminalOutputToFileSystem
TeXOptions options = TeXOptions.consoleAppOptions(TeXConfig.objectTeX());

Step 2: Specify Job Name and Working Directories

Specify a job name, input working directory, and output working directory. If the job name is not specified, the first argument of the TeXJob constructor will be taken as the job name. Use the following code snippet:

options.setJobName("overridden-job-name");
options.setInputWorkingDirectory(new InputFileSystemDirectory("Your Input Directory"));
options.setOutputWorkingDirectory(new OutputFileSystemDirectory("Your Output Directory"));

Step 3: Write Terminal Output to File System

Specify that the terminal output must be written to a file in the output working directory. The file name will be <job_name>.trm. Add the following code:

options.setTerminalOut(new OutputFileTerminal(options.getOutputWorkingDirectory()));

Step 4: Run the Job

Run the TeX job using the specified options and job name. Here’s how you can do it:

TeXJob job = new TeXJob("hello-world", new XpsDevice(), options);
job.run();
// ExEnd:OverrideJobName-WriteTerminalOutputToFileSystem

Congratulations! You have successfully overridden the job name and written terminal output to the file system using Aspose.TeX in Java.
