Generate PDFs and Clean

In this example, we generate PDFs in one location from tex files in possibly various other locations, and clean.

# Author: Fan Wang (fanwangecon.github.io)
import pyfan.util.pdf.pdfgen as pyfan_pdfgen
import pprint
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import textwrap
import json

Generate PDF for one specific file and clean afterwards

# spt_loc = 'C:/Users/fan/Documents/Dropbox (UH-ECON)/repos/Tex4Econ/_other/equation/'
spt_loc = 'G:/Dropbox (UH-ECON)/repos/Tex4Econ/_other/equation/'
spt_loc_output = 'C:/Users/fan/Documents/'
spn_file = 'cases.tex'
spn_pdf_exe = 'C:/texlive/2020/bin/win32/pdflatex.exe'
dc_tex_pdf_a = pyfan_pdfgen.ff_pdf_gen_clean(ls_spt_srh=[spt_loc], spt_out=spt_loc_output,
                                             spn_pdf_exe=spn_pdf_exe, ls_st_contain=[spn_file],
                                             bl_clean=True)
print(dc_tex_pdf_a)

Out:

Generate PDF from all tex files in all subfolders of a main folder, output PDF store in one location

1. spt_loc_search_root: Tex Search folder

2. spt_loc_output: only consider files with this in name

3. st_search_string: include in one of the element in list

4. ls_st_ignore: ignore files with this in name

5. PDF Destination Folder: same root path earlier folder to store possibly

# spt_loc_search_root = 'C:/Users/fan/Documents/Dropbox (UH-ECON)/repos/Tex4Econ/_other/'
spt_loc_search_root = 'G:/Dropbox (UH-ECON)/repos/Tex4Econ/_other/'
spt_loc_output = 'C:/Users/fan/Documents/'
st_search_string = ['fs_', 'cases']
ls_st_ignore = ['tikz', 'pandoc']
spn_pdf_exe = 'C:/texlive/2020/bin/win32/pdflatex.exe'
dc_tex_pdf_b = pyfan_pdfgen.ff_pdf_gen_clean(ls_spt_srh=[spt_loc_search_root], spt_out=spt_loc_output,
                                             spn_pdf_exe=spn_pdf_exe,
                                             ls_st_contain=st_search_string, ls_st_ignore=ls_st_ignore,
                                             bl_recursive=True, bl_clean=True)
print(dc_tex_pdf_b)
