Enable download PDF for a scanned section #6

Open jdeck88 opened 8 years ago

jdeck88 commented 8 years ago

the idea is the user will want to make a PDF file of an entire scanned section to download. There are two options:

1) do on the fly... this may slow things down, perhaps hard to get the right resolution.

2) pre-render ... this will take space.

Play around with this and take a look at both speed and space requirements to pull this off and then implement the solution.

After some discussion, probably Option#2 is preferable. We already have several 100 PDFs of sections and likely in the future we will have PDF's as part of the scanning workflow. Also will lessen burden on huxley.

Thus: Possibly create a PDF directory on TACC which will have files labeled in a standard way. This could be scanned and add a 3rd link on search results page for PDF at the section level.
