PDF

Multi-platform Docker container with utilities to process PDF files (pdftk, ghostscript, ocrmypdf, pdfgrep, qpdf...).

Example not using the filesystem

Assuming that you have a PDF file foo.pdf and you want to extract the first page to bar.pdf:

Mac/Linux

cat foo.pdf | docker run --rm -i --net=none leplusorg/pdf pdftk - cat output - > bar.pdf

Windows

type foo.pdf | docker run --rm -i --net=none leplusorg/pdf pdftk - cat output - > bar.pdf

Example requiring the filesystem

Assuming that you have two PDF files foo.pdf and bar.pdf in your current working directory and you want to join them into a single foobar.pdf:

Mac/Linux

docker run --rm -t --user="$(id -u):$(id -g)" --net=none -v "$(pwd):/tmp" leplusorg/pdf pdftk /tmp/foo.pdf /tmp/bar.pdf cat output /tmp/foobar.pdf

Windows

In cmd:

docker run --rm -t --net=none -v "%cd%:/tmp" leplusorg/pdf pdftk /tmp/foo.pdf /tmp/bar.pdf cat output /tmp/foobar.pdf

In PowerShell:

docker run --rm -t --net=none -v "${PWD}:/tmp" leplusorg/pdf pdftk /tmp/foo.pdf /tmp/bar.pdf cat output /tmp/foobar.pdf

Help

To know more command-line options of one of the pdftk command:

docker run --rm --net=none leplusorg/pdf pdftk -h

Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)

To get the SBOM for the latest image (in SPDX JSON format), use the following command:

docker buildx imagetools inspect leplusorg/pdf --format '{{ json (index .SBOM "linux/amd64").SPDX }}'

Replace linux/amd64 by the desired platform (linux/amd64, linux/arm64 etc.).

Sigstore

Sigstore is trying to improve supply chain security by allowing you to verify the origin of an artifcat. You can verify that the image that you use was actually produced by this repository. This means that if you verify the signature of the Docker image, you can trust the integrity of the whole supply chain from code source, to CI/CD build, to distribution on Maven Central or whever you got the image from.

You can use the following command to verify the latest image using its sigstore signature attestation:

cosign verify leplusorg/pdf --certificate-identity-regexp 'https://github\.com/leplusorg/docker-pdf/\.github/workflows/.+' --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com'

The output should look something like this:

Verification for index.docker.io/leplusorg/xml:main --
The following checks were performed on each of these signatures:
  - The cosign claims were validated
  - Existence of the claims in the transparency log was verified offline
  - The code-signing certificate was verified using trusted certificate authority certificates

Request new tool

Please use this link (GitHub account required) to request that a new tool be added to the image. I am always interested in adding new capabilities to these images.
