Thumbor / PDF Preview

This extension provides preview for PDF.

Features

Installation

• Prerequisite: Following system libraries are required:

  • ImageMagick
  • Ghostscript

• Install using pip

  $ pip install tc_pdf

• Register the extension within Thumbor's configuration file

  COMMUNITY_EXTENSIONS = [
      'tc_pdf',
      ...
  ]

• Launch thumbor with the Thumbor Community custom application:

  $ thumbor -a tc_core.app.App

Usage

tc_pdf handler route requires /pdf/ in URL after all filters but before the resource URL part e.g.

http://<thumbor_server>/unsafe/240x240/smart/pdf/localhost:8000/media/document/test.pdf

If you are using libthumbor to generate URLs then you can use this patch for CryptoURL class and then use it like this:

from crypto import CryptoURL

crypto = CryptoURL(key='my-security-key')

encrypted_url = crypto.generate(
    width=300,
    height=200,
    smart=True,
    image_url='/path/to/my/pdf_file.pdf',
    pdf=True, # <-- Pass this
)

tc_pdf's Issues

Thumbor 7/Python 3 support?

Can anyone tell whether this should run with Thumbor 7 without changes, or does the code have to be updated?
