django-pdfserver is a webservice that offers common PDF operations like joining documents or selecting pages. It is based on Django and depends on pyPdf to manipulate PDFs.
Rationale
Powerful tools to manipulate PDF exist but they are not universally available on all systems or not simple to use. This server allows anyone to quickly solve most common PDF operations over the web.
If you don't trust other servers with your data, deploy a copy yourself!
Example
See http://cburgmer.nfshost.com/pdfserver/ for an example installation.
Deploy
You can install this application with:
python setup.py install pdfserver
To start a project around pdfserver run the following steps:
1. Create a new project:
django-admin startproject myserver
2. Edit settings to fit pdfserver's needs (myserver/settings.py) following the example in example_settings.py. Choose sqlite3 for the database if in doubt.
3. Create the database:
cd myserver
python manage.py syncdb
4. Make sure the given upload directory can be written to and not accessible from the outside (if on a public server).
5. For a test installation you can run:
python manage.py runserver
When not in debug mode make sure to serve static files under media/js/* and media/css/*.
