Pdf To Tns File Converter

Feature: PDF → TNS File Converter

Implementation considerations

• Client-side: PDF.js for rendering, PDF-lib for manipulation, Tesseract.js for OCR, MathJax/LaTeX parser for rendering math, wasm-based packager to build .tns.
• Server-side: containerized workers for heavy processing, optional MathPix or custom ML model for math OCR, S3-compatible storage for temp files.
• Library for .tns creation: implement spec or adapt existing open-source tools that can write TI‑Nspire document packages.

Alternative A: Use a Smartphone Bridge

• Keep PDFs on your phone. Use the TI-Nspire CX App (iOS/Android) to view native TNS files synced via cloud. Not a true converter, but lets you reference PDFs alongside calculator work.
