bitlayer/pdfificationserver repository overview

To create a PDF from an uploaded file:

POST /pdfify HTTP/1.0
Content-Type: <whatever>
Content-Length: <whatever>

<file content>

To create a PDF from an arbitrary web page by URL:

GET /pdfify?uri=<uri>&waitForDomSelector=body HTTP/1.0

You can replace 'body' with some other selector in case you need to wait for some javascript to run before PDFifying.

In either case, assuming no errors, the resulting PDF file will be returned in the response body.

⁠Running as a Docker container

make docker-image-id
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8058:8056 `cat docker-image-id`

Then go to http://127.0.0.1:8058/pdfify⁠?....

In this example, 8056 is the server port as it appears inside the docker container, and 127.0.0.1:8058 is the port we want to bind to on the host machine so that we can use the service.
