Using an alternative PDF transformation service #33

Closed kohsah closed 8 years ago

kohsah commented 8 years ago

I want to integrate an existing REST service which takes a AN document as input and outputs a DOCX or PDF depending on which REST API has been called. This will be used instead of the existing PDF transformation functionality in LIME.

Any pointers where I should start looking ?

Ok found the akn-fop-pdf package ... and there is the callPadf() function in Controller.js ... I guess that is the place.

Yes the "akn-fop-pdf" package is an alternative for "default-pdf". But this is using FOP for generating the pdf file. If you want to integrate another REST service you can create a new package similar to "default-pdf" or "akn-fop-pdf" and replace the default with it. Otherwise you can also create a package which overwrites the "default-pdf" with a custom "callPdfService" function, but in this case you need to include both packages in app.json.
