    Nuxeo Platform PDF Utils

    A set of utilities to deal with PDFs from a nuxeo application.

    Operations

    These operations can be used in Studio after importing their JSON definitions to the Automation registry.

    A quick reminder: To get the JSON definition of an operation, you can install the plug-in, start nuxeo server then go to {server:port}/nuxeo/site/automation/doc. All available operations are listed, find the one you are looking for and follow the links to get its JSON definition.

    • PDF: Add Page Numbers (id PDF.AddPageNumbers)

      • Accepts a Blob, returns a Blob

      • The input blob must be a PDF

      • The returned blob contains the page numbers, displayed using the parameters (position, font, ...)

        • Notice the input blob is not modified, a copy (+ page numbers) is returned
      • The following parameters let you tune the operation:

        • startAtPage (default: 1)

        • startAtNumber (default: 1)

        • position

          • Can be Bottom right, Bottom center, Bottom left, Top right, Top center, or Top left
          • Default: Bottom Right
        • fontName (default: Helvetica)

        • fontSize (default: 16)

        • hex255Color

          • Expressed as either 0xrrggbb or #rrggbb (case insensitive)
          • Default value: 0xffffff
        • password: If the PDF is encrypted, the password that will allow modification.

    • PDF: Extract Pages (id PDF.ExtractPages)

      • Accept either a blob or a document as input
      • Returns a blob built with the extracted pages
      • If the input is a document, the xpath parameter must be used (default: file:content)
      • The following parameters let you tune the operation:
        • startPage

          • If < 1 => realigned to 1
          • If > endPage or > number of pages, a blank PDF is returned
        • endPage

          • If > number of pages, it is realigned to the number of pages
        • fileName

          • If not used, the filename will be the original file name plus the page range. For example, if the original name was "mydoc.pdf" and you extract pages 10 to 25, the resulting PDF will have a file name of "mydoc-10-25.pdf".
        • pdfTitle

          • If not used, title is not set
          • Warning: This is not the dc:title. It is the title as stored in the metadata of the PDF.
        • pdfSubject

          • If not used, subject is not set
        • pdfAuthor

          • If not used, author is not set
        • password: If the PDF is encrypted, the password that will allow extraction.

    • PDF: Merge with Blob(s) (id PDF.MergeWithBlobs)

      • This operation merges all the blobs in a specific order (see below) and returns the final, merged PDF. Some properties (subject, ...) can also be set at the same time (optional)

      • The order of the PDF is the following:

        • Input blob

        • Blob referenced by the Context variable whose name is toAppendVarName

        • Blobs referenced as a BlobList by the Context variable whose name is toAppendListVarName

        • Blobs stored in the documents whose IDs are referenced as a String List by the Context variable whose name is toAppendDocIDsVarName

          • The xpath parameter is used to get the blob in each document
          • Optional. Default value is file:content
        • Important: The operation expects the Context variable names, not the values of the variables. For example in Studio, say you have a multivalued String field named myschema:the_ids. It stores IDs of documents (typically, filled by the user using a "Multiple Documents Suggestion Widget"). In an Automation Chain, to merge the PDF embedded in a these documents with an input blob you would write (see we use listArticles, not @{listArticles}):

        . . . previous operations . . .
        Set Context Variable
          name: listArticles
          value: @{Document["myschema:the_ids"]}
        . . . 
        PDF: Merge with Blob(s)
          ..other parameters
          toAppendDocIDsVarName: listArticles
        
        • These parameters are optional. Still, you probably want to use at least one of them :-)
    • PDF: PDF: Merge with Document(s) (id PDF.MergeWithDocs)

      • See the documentation of PDF: Merge with Blob(s)
      • The difference is that the input is a document. The operation extracts the blob from the xpath field. Notice that it is ok for this blob to be null, the operation will still merge all the other blobs referenced in the parameters
    • PDF: Info to Fields (id PDF.InfoToFields)

      • Extract the info of the PDF and put them in the fields referenced by the properties parameter, return the modified document. If there is no blob or if the blob is not a PDF, all the values referenced in properties are cleared (set to empty string, 0, ...)

      • Parameters:

        • xpath: The xpath of the blob to handle in the document. Default value is file:content
        • save: If true, the document is saved after its fields have been populated
        • properties
          • A key=value list (one key-value pair/line), where key is the xpath of the destination field and value is one of the following (case sensitive):
        File name
        File size
        PDF version
        Page count
        Page size
        Page width
        Page height
        Page layout
        Title
        Author
        Subject
        PDF producer
        Content creator
        Creation date
        Modification date
        Encrypted
        Keywords
        Media box width
        Media box height
        Crop box width
        Crop box height
        Can Print
        Can Modify
        Can Extract
        Can Modify Annotations
        Can Fill Forms
        Can Extract for Accessibility
        Can Assemble
        Can Print Degraded
        

        The permission fields (starting with "Can ...") contain "true" or "false". Every field is "true" if the document is not encrypted or is opened with the owner password.

        • For example, say you have an InfoOfPDF schema, prefix iop, with misc. fields. You could write:
        iop:pdf_version=PDF version
        iop:page_count=Page count
        iop:page_size=Page size
        ...etc...
        
    • PDF: Watermark with Text (id PDF.WatermarkWithText)

      • Accepts a Blob, returns a Blob

      • Returns a new blob combining the input PDF and the watermark text set on every pages, using the different properties.

      • If watermark is empty, a simple copy of the input blob is returned

      • properties is a key=value set where key can be one of the following. When not used, a default value applies:

        • fontFamily (default: "Helvetica")
        • fontSize (default: 36.0)
        • rotation (default: 0)
        • hex255Color (default: "#000000")
        • alphaColor (default: 0.5)
        • xPosition (default: 0)
        • yPosition (default: 0)
        • invertY (default: "false")
      • More details about some properties:

        • xPosition and yPosition start at the bottom-left corner of each page
        • alphaColor is a float with any value between 0.0 and 1.0. Values < 0 or > 1 are reset to the default 0.5
    • PDF: Watermark with Image (id PDF.WatermarkWithImage)

      • Accepts a Blob, returns a Blob

      • Returns a new blob combining the input PDF and an image set on every page (using the x, yand scale parameters)

      • The image to use for the watermark can be one of the following:

        • imageContextVarName: A Context variable which references a Blob containing the image.

        • imageDocRef: The path or the ID of a document whose file:content field contains the image to use

          • Notice: If imageDocRef`` is used, an UnrestrictedSession` fetches its blob, so the PDF can be watermarked even if current user has not enough right to read the watermark itself.
        • Notice: The operation first checks for imageContextVarName.

      • x and y start at the bottom-left of the page

      • Dimensions of the image will be * by scale (so 1.0 means "Original size", 0.5 means half the size. 4 means four time the size, ...)

    • PDF: Watermark with PDF (id PDF.WatermarkWithPDF)

      • Accepts a Blob, returns a Blob

      • Returns a new blob combining the input pdf and an overlayed PDF on every page

      • The PDF to use for the watermark can be one of the following:

        • pdfContextVarName: A Context variable which references a Blob containing the PDF.

        • pdfDocRef: The path or the ID of a document whose file:content field contains the PDF to use

          • Notice: If pdfDocRef`` is used, anUnrestrictedSession` fetches its blob, so the PDF can be watermarked even if current user has not enough right to read the watermark itself.
        • Notice: The operation first checks for pdfContextVarName.

      • This operation uses PDFBox to overlay the PDF. The count of pages in each PDF can be different. Basically, the PDF to overlay will be repeated over the PDF to watermark. So for a final PDF of 10 pages:

        • If the overlay has one single page, this page is overlayed on the 10 pages
        • If the overlay has 3 pages, then the overlay will be made with pages 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1
    • PDF: Encrypt Read Only (id PDF.EncryptReadOnly)

      • Accepts Blob, Blobs, Document, Document(s)
      • Encrypts the PDF in readonly mode: User can print, copy, print degraded, extract info for accessibility, but cannot assemble, modify, modify annotations.
      • Returns a new blob, copy of the original one, but encrypted
      • Parameters:
        • originalOwnerPwd: If the PDF is already encrypted, the password to open and modify it

        • userPwd: The password for users, who will have restriction (read only) on the PDF
        • keyLength: The length to use for the encryption key. Possible values are 40 and 128. If no value is passed, 128 is used
        • xpath: If the input is Document or Documents, the field where to get the blob from (file:content by default)
        • permissions is a key=value set where key can be one of the following. When not used, false is applied (permission to do the action is denied):
