ehive consent sources

About consentIds

• Each consentId has the structure hpims-<name> or ehive-<name> and the consent contents have to be put in a directory in this repository called <name>.
• ConsentIds are not designed to be renamed since they are already identified by this in the database.
• hpims / ehive are static prefixes that can not be changed and configured in the deployment directory and consent service.

PDF Coordinates

When a new PDF needs to be added, we need to calculate the coordinates of the various checkboxes and inputs to insert text at. To do this, go to the apache pdfbox releases and download the latest feature version of the pdfbox-app (pdfbox-app-.jar). Then, load the consent PDF with the following command:

java -jar <path/to/pdfbox-app-<VERSION>.jar> PDFDebugger <path/to/consent.pdf>

You can then page through the PDF and hover over spots to find out the coordinates. They are displayed on the bottom left.

Notice that pdf page numbers are 0-indexed.
