go-tiff2pdf

tiff2pdf (from libtiff) as a service and a cli tool.

This is a fork from github.com/companieshouse/go-tiff2pdf

Getting started

• Run make deps to download and install libtiff
• Run make test (optional: converts t2p-test/tifs/* to PDFs in t2p-test/pdfs/)
• Run make to build go-tiff2pdf library and service
• Run ./build/go-tiff2pdf or make run to start the service

This has been tested on:

• Mac OS X 10.10 with Go 1.3.1 and Go 1.3.3
• Ubuntu 14.04 with Go 1.2.1
• Ubuntu 18.04 with Go 1.12.7

TIFF to PDF request example

To convert a TIFF to PDF, POST the TIFF bytes as the request body to the /convert endpoint.

You can set PDF metadata using the headers:

• PDF-Subject
• PDF-Author
• PDF-Creator
• PDF-Title
• PDF-PageSize
• PDF-FullPage

Log messages for a request are linked together using a randomly generated unique ID. You can set the X-Request-ID header to override the default random ID.
