Heroku Setup

$ heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-multi.git --stack cedar

$ heroku config:set CONSUMER_KEY=xxxxx
$ heroku config:set CONSUMER_SECRET=xxxxx
$ heroku config:set ACCESS_TOKEN=xxxxx

Known Problems

• Twead A Book currently prints page numbers inline with text
• cedar-10 will be depricated at the end of the year, but poppler buildpacks aren't configured for cedar-14 yet (at least I haven't found any that work with cedar-14)
