From a80ebf3b64dce807d84ab3993984c211f55b47db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alon Levy Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:21:10 +0200 Subject: add pdf media type The new media type supports pdf and a subset of media recognized by libreoffice via unoconv. Every document added goes through: * conversion to pdf with unoconv if not already a pdf * creation of thumbnail and medium sized image, and pdfinfo generates some information (even for unoconv produces docs - should fix this) Poppler (pdftocairo, pdfinfo) is used. http://poppler.freedesktop.org/ A working but uglified pdf.js integration exists, which is enabled by setting pdf.pdf_js=true mediagoblin_local.ini (disabled in mediagoblin.ini) Adds one test to the test_submission test suite, and another separate test_pdf suite. The tests are only run if media_types.pdf.processing.check_prerequisites passes, so the test suite will not require any extra package. TODO: make test suite say 'skipped' in that case instead of just 'ok' Signed-off-by: Alon Levy --- docs/source/siteadmin/media-types.rst | 37 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 37 insertions(+) (limited to 'docs/source/siteadmin') diff --git a/docs/source/siteadmin/media-types.rst b/docs/source/siteadmin/media-types.rst index 23d3f3b9..264dc4fc 100644 --- a/docs/source/siteadmin/media-types.rst +++ b/docs/source/siteadmin/media-types.rst @@ -195,3 +195,40 @@ Run You should now be able to upload .obj and .stl files and MediaGoblin will be able to present them to your wide audience of admirers! + +PDF and Document +================ + +To enable the "PDF and Document" support plugin, you need pdftocairo, pdfinfo, +unoconv with headless support.
