⁠Getting started

You need Docker installed. The first run downloads the image and may take longer than later runs.

⁠Usage

Mount a folder into the container and run a subcommand:

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/data -w /data pdfix/validate-pdf-arlington:v1.1.1 <command> [options]

⁠Commands

• validate: Validate a PDF and write or print a report

⁠Arguments

⁠validate

Profiles:

Notes:

• For --format xml, if --output is set it must end with .xml.
• For --format html, if --output is set it must end with .html.
• Omit --profile and the flag is not passed to the Arlington jar.
• PDFix Desktop always passes --profile. Autodetect is the default, so a Desktop run sends at least --profile auto.

⁠Examples

Validate and print XML to stdout:

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/data -w /data pdfix/validate-pdf-arlington:v1.1.1 validate -i /data/input.pdf

Validate and write HTML:

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/data -w /data pdfix/validate-pdf-arlington:v1.1.1 \
  validate -i /data/input.pdf -o /data/report.html --format html

Validate against Arlington 1.7:

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/data -w /data pdfix/validate-pdf-arlington:v1.1.1 \
  validate -i /data/input.pdf --profile arlington1.7
