i try to merge multiple Files (PDF and TIF) to one PDF Bundle. I want to print all Documents from one Workspace. Any Suggestions how to do it with alfresco?
Thx
Rene
There is no PDF merging out of the box in Alfresco. You should have a look at Jared Ottley's PDF Toolkit. It implements Alfresco actions to work with PDF documents, merging PDFs being one of them. Personally I have not used it and it looks a bit dated but it should get you started.

I am now working with 500 pdf recipes files, which I want to display in my website. How can I batch extract them and display information on PDF to my website? PDF has all the information for recipes. For each recipe, I need to display its description, image, ingredients, instructions, nutrition label and so on. Is there any way so that I don't need to work on it manually?
Do these all have the same basic template for how the information is structured? This isn't really specifically a WordPress issue. One thing you can do is use Go to loop through and process all the files. I played with Go and it's incredibly fast to parse large amounts of information. Maybe you can fiddle with it in this library here https://github.com/unidoc/unidoc.
There are a lot of library options to try in PHP also. Here's just one example https://www.pdfparser.org/. There's documentation here and you can install it via composer. https://www.pdfparser.org/documentation
If every recipe follows the same sort of template, and you want to extract specific details in specific sections of the PDF, it should be easy enough. If you don't mind extracting all the text from a PDF and just display that on your website, it should be easy enough using one of the libraries. If you go the Golang route, you could just parse all the text for each PDF, save them to a file, and just upload them using PHP and have the PHP code insert everything into custom post types or something.
I need your help over a problem I have. Actually, I have a page with a simple embed which displays a PDF file.
I got a request to add another PDF file to the same embed (or at least to do something which would look like it).
I searched some solutions and not finding a simple one, I'm thinking about using iTextSharp to merge both files (by getting their stream from their url), merging them into a new pdf file and display this resulting file into the embed.
But I'm just telling myself it's a bit too much for such a simple modification... And so I'm here asking you if someone would have a better idea ? From what I searched on stackoverflow and google it looks like I will have to take the merge solution but hey, we never know '^^
A simpler option would be to merge the two PDF files using either a free online tool or Adobe Combine Files option and then adding that newly combined PDF to your site. Unless I am missing something, there is no real reason or benefit to do this using code.
I want to use Neo4j to store a number of graphs I created in python. I was using Gephi for visualization, and I thought the export to Neo4j plugin would be a very simple way to get the data across. The problem is that the server is seemingly not recognizing the neostore...db files that Gephi generated.
I'm guessing I configured things incorrectly, but is there a way to fix that?
Alternatively, I'm also open to importing the files directly. I have two files: one with node titles and attributes and another with an edge list of title to title.
I'm guessing that I would need to convert the titles to ids, right? What would be the fastest way to do that?
Thank you in advance!
If you have the file as tab separated csv files, feel free to import them directly. There are some options, check out this page: http://www.neo4j.org/develop/import
Especially the CSV batch importer can help you: http://maxdemarzi.com/2012/02/28/batch-importer-part-1/
Or if it is just a little bit of data, use the spreadsheet approach: http://blog.neo4j.org/2013/03/importing-data-into-neo4j-spreadsheet.html
Please report back if you were successful.
I used Gephi to generate a neo4j store file directory in the past - it worked like a charm...
I assume you did delete the default graph.db directory and renamed your gephi-generated directory to graph.db? That worked for me...
Can you use PurePDF to view files or is the api only for writing them?
Based on the PurePDF Project Page, reading and extracting information from PDFs is supported:
read existing pdf documents (extract strings, streams, images and all the informations from them). See HelloWorldReader.as for an example
However, if you're looking to view / rasterize a PDF, that's a much more complicated task and doesn't look like it's supported as part of PurePDF.
I suggest converting the PDF into a swf file. There are a number of projects out there (including free / open source) that convert pages into SWF files, including being able to still extract the text. :D
It looks like you can either navigate to the url of the PDF (maybe in an HTML component?) , OR a richer solution might be to use the open source flex paper : http://flexpaper.devaldi.com/
Is it possible to get the pages of a chapter in ITextsharp or somehow split the file on chapters in vb.net, basically I'm concatenating multiple files into one pdf and separating them as chapters but sometimes I'll need to read these chapters out separately, is this possible?
I used this example with great success
Merge PDF files with IText# And .Net
The trick is to use this keeping your pages in memory stream so you can a) write them as individual pages and b) hand them to the merger to merge together.
It is fast too. I have code that can produce 100s of documents in less than a minute, in merged and singular form.
