Generate PDF with C++ and Latex - c++

Question

Would it be possible to generate PDF from c++ source code using latex ?
I´m currently using html, QWebEngine and QPrinter to create PDF.
But there is some issues like pages jump. Latex will be a good solution to ensure some graphics element are well rendered.
Working with Windows only. Crossplatform solution is not needed

Answer 1

Here are the steps I did to setup pythontex on my windows 10 system.
Download Miktex
Run Executable
Install time: ~5 minutes on a 16gB Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1505M v5 # 2.80GHz, 2801 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Miktex base size ~10mB at **/appdata/local/miktex/*. Note, this may not be where al the files are located. IDK
Test if pdf latex is installed. Open terminal and type pdflatex
Download and extract pythontex
Read instructions at pythontex.pdf.
Install python tex using pythontex_install.bat
Add pythontex to path.
Run a pythontex example
\documentclass[11pt]{article}%
\usepackage{pythontex}
\usepackage{nopageno}
\begin{document}
\begin{pyconsole}
x = 987.27
x = x**2
\end{pyconsole}
The variable is $x=\pycon{x}$
\end{document}
In order to compile do
pdflatex my-latex.tex
pythontex my-latex.tex
pdflatex my-latex.tex
May need to install additional package for it to compile. My ending size in apdata/local grew alot.... 814 MB
