FormaTeX

\usepackage{edtech}

LaTeX API for EdTech Platforms

Generate math worksheets, certificates, exams, and course materials as pixel-perfect PDFs — programmatically, at scale.

\section{Pain Points}

Why manual PDF generation breaks at scale

Printing worksheets by hand

Teachers spending hours in Word creating math worksheets is not a scalable content pipeline. Formatting math correctly in Word is painful and error-prone.

Certificate generation is a bottleneck

Issuing completion certificates one by one — or via fragile mail-merge scripts — doesn't work when you have thousands of learners finishing courses every month.

Inconsistent exam formatting

Exams built in different tools look different across instructors and courses. No single source of truth for layout, fonts, or question numbering.

\section{Solutions}

How FormaTeX solves them

LaTeX templates at scale

Define one LaTeX template per document type. Inject student names, scores, and question banks via API — generate thousands of PDFs from a single template.

Fast synchronous compilation

Most worksheets and certificates compile in under two seconds via the REST API. Serve PDFs inline or stream them to students immediately after completion.

Async batch jobs

Need to generate 10,000 certificates overnight? Submit a batch job and poll for completion — or receive a webhook when the PDFs are ready.

Math rendering that actually works

LaTeX is the gold standard for mathematical notation. Equations, fractions, integrals, and matrices render perfectly every time — no MathJax hacks.

No LaTeX install on your servers

TeX Live is 4 GB and breaks on updates. FormaTeX manages the full LaTeX environment — your servers stay lean and your engineers stay unblocked.

Webhooks for async workflows

Trigger downstream actions — email delivery, S3 upload, LMS record update — the moment a PDF is ready. No polling required.

\section{Use Cases}

EdTech use cases

Personalised math worksheets

Generate differentiated worksheets per student from a shared template. Swap in difficulty levels, question sets, and student names — compile to a unique PDF per learner.

Completion certificates

Issue branded, signed certificates the moment a learner completes a course. Template stores the layout; the API injects the name, date, and course title at runtime.

Standardised exams

All exams from the same LaTeX template mean consistent formatting across every instructor and subject — page margins, font sizes, question numbering, and answer boxes.

Course materials and syllabi

Compile lecture notes, reading lists, and course syllabi from version-controlled LaTeX source. Publish a new PDF to the LMS with a single API call on every update.

\section{Pricing}

Pricing that scales with your platform

Start free while you prototype. Move to a usage-based API plan when you hit production — pay per compilation, not per seat. Volume discounts available for high-throughput EdTech workloads.
