Minimal working example of failing PDFTron integration into a spring boot application running in docker.

This example application uses the pdftron java sdk, the structured output module and the reflow module.
The build is configured via maven which downloads the modules at build time and uses the sdk as a regular dependency.
The docker image is build via the jib plugin.

The application loads a pdf file and tries to convert it to html.

Build

1. Set a license key in the configuration file
2. If docker is running locally:

   mvn clean package jib:dockerBuild

   If the image should be pushed to another registry:

   mvn clean package jib:build \
       -Djib.to.image=myregistry/com.umlaut.pdftron.mwe:latest \
       -Djib.to.auth.username=$USERNAME \
       -Djib.to.auth.password=$PASSWORD

Run

docker run com.umlaut.pdftron.mwe:latest
