Re: Ada2latex Converter available?

You mean for "pretty-printing" or really convert your Ada program in
TeX code ?

For the first purpose you don't need a converter, there is
listings.sty whose \lstinputlisting command reads your sources
and includes it with a nice formatting. There is also an escape
character you can define for putting LaTeX parts among your Ada comments
(formulas, \cite, \ref, hyperlinks,...).

All you need is (after downloading listings at CTAN):
\usepackage{listings}
\lstloadlanguages{Ada}
\lstset{language=Ada}
% Example:
\def\adalist#1{
 {\sf % Standard TeX Helvetica
  {\footnotesize
   \lstinputlisting[stringspaces=false, commentstyle=\sl, %
   escapechar=`, mathescape=true]{#1}
  }
 }
}
...
\adalist{source.ads}
\adalist{source.adb}
...

Example of "escape"-ism in the Ada code:

 if eq=trans then       -- Modification de la fonction-test de base $\psi_i$
   case meth_trans is

     when Streamline => -- `formule (\ref{psistreamline})`
       psi_i_corr:= psi(i) + delt1 * stream_psi(i);
