Pricing: $3–$5 per indexable page, depending on content density and required depth.

Technical & Format Conversion

LaTeX Conversion (from Word or Markdown)

We convert your academic or scientific document or manuscript into clean, publication-ready LaTeX, with full support for cross-referenced equations, tables, and figures.
Pricing: $6–$10 per formatted page, or $0.08–$0.12 per word for full manuscripts, depending on complexity. Requires submission of publication-quality figures as separate files.

PDF or image to LaTeX or Word Conversion

We extract editable text and equations from PDF files and even scanned images and rebuild them into structured LaTeX or Word format.
Pricing: $10–$15 per page, depending on source quality and presence of math, tables, or figures.

Preflighting for Press-Ready PDFs

We ensure your PDF files meet industry standards for commercial printing—embedding fonts, optimizing images, and validating color profiles and output formats.

Note: Font embedding requires properly licensed fonts with embedding rights. If needed, we can help evaluate or substitute fonts.

Tip: For best results, preflight individual figures (especially color ones) before integrating them into your final document.

Pricing: $100–$250 per document, depending on length and file complexity.

Digital & Web Conversion

ePub or Web Version Creation

We create clean, navigable ePub and web (HTML5) versions of your content, preserving structure, math, and figures across platforms and devices.
Note: While we preserve all mathematical content in the output, some e-book readers and web browsers do not fully support advanced math rendering (e.g., MathML or LaTeX-based equations). We can advise on reader compatibility and offer fallback formats if needed.
Pricing: Highly variable, depending on length, math content, formatting needs, and image handling.

$5–$10 per slide, depending on content complexity and formatting needs
Add-on: PowerPoint output with complex equations or custom layout: +$2 per slide
