I understand better now. It would just be a case of adding support for previewing LaTeX files in the converter app. Can you provide some sample LaTeX files (no confidential or private information) or point to links of LaTeX used for testing rendering software? A list of software or command used for generating PDFs out of LaTeX files will be useful too as we don't have experience with LaTeX files.
