What is TeX Live used for? and can we integrate it with digital forms software?

Dear TeX Live Community,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Adrian, and I am a digital forms software<https://nspek.com/en/digital-inspections> developer eager to tap into the potential of TeX Live for enhancing our platform. Before diving into the details of our integration aspirations, I'd like to briefly share my understanding of TeX Live.

In essence, TeX Live is a comprehensive and free distribution of the TeX document production system. Released annually by The TeX Users Group, it provides users with a complete TeX setup for various operating systems, including GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows. TeX Live encompasses all major TeX-related programs, macro packages, and fonts, fostering a versatile and accessible environment for document creation.

>From detailed installation instructions for different platforms to documentation on package management via tlmgr, TeX Live showcases a commitment to user-friendly access and continuous improvement. The collaborative efforts of the TeX Live community, spanning developers like Sebastian Rahtz and contributors such as Akira Kakuto, Karl Berry, and many others, have made it a staple in the world of typesetting.

Now, coming to the crux of my message - as a digital forms software developer, I am exploring the possibilities of integrating TeX Live into our platform. We recognize the powerful typesetting capabilities TeX Live offers and envision its potential to elevate the quality and precision of document rendering within our software.

I am reaching out to this esteemed community seeking guidance, insights, and perhaps collaboration on how we can seamlessly integrate TeX Live into our digital forms software. Your expertise and experience are invaluable, and any assistance provided will be met with sincere gratitude.

If you have recommendations, best practices, or if you've navigated a similar path in the past, I would be immensely thankful for your insights. Let's work together to bridge the worlds of TeX Live and digital forms software for enhanced document creation.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from this vibrant community.

Best regards,

Adrian
