This package integrates documentcloud's viewer and pdf processing
into plone.

Example viewer: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3219331-FOIA-Request-17-OIG-015.html

Features
--------

- very nice document viewer
- OCR
- Searchable on OCR text
- works with many different document types
- collective.celery integration
- lots of configuration options
- PDF Album view for display groups of PDFs


Works with
----------

Besides displaying PDFs, it will also display:

- Word
- Excel
- Powerpoint
- HTML
- RTF


Install requirements
--------------------

- Docsplit: http://documentcloud.github.com/docsplit/
- GraphicsMagick
- ghostscript (version 9.0 preferred)
- Poppler
- tesseract (optional)
- pdftk (optional)
- OpenOffice or LibreOffice (optional, for doc, excel, ppt, etc. types)
- md5 or md5sum command line tool


Async Integration
-----------------

It it highly recommended to install and configure collective.celery
in combination with this package. Doing so will manage all pdf
conversions processes asynchronously so the user isn't delayed
so much when saving files.


Settings
--------

The product can be configured via a control panel item
`Document Viewer Settings`.

Some interesting configuration options:

Storage Type
If you want to be able to serve you files via amazon cloud,
this will allow you to store the data in flat files that
can be synced to another server.
Storage Location
Where are the server to store the files.
OCR
Use tesseract to scan the document for text. This process ca be
slow so if your pdfs do not need to be OCR'd, you may disable.
Auto Select Layout
For pdf files added to the site, automatically select the
document viewer display.
Auto Convert
When pdf files are added and modified, automatically convert.
Auto layout file types
Types that should automatically be converted to document viewer


Dexterity support
-----------------

If you want to use it with your own Dexterity content type. You need to edit
the fti in ZMI/portal_types/yourtype to add "documentviewer" in
the available view methods and to set the primary field in the schema,
for example::

<field name="myfile" marshal:primary="true"
type="plone.namedfile.field.NamedBlobFile">


File storage integration
------------------------

If you choose to use basic file storage instead of zodb blob storage,
there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind.

1) Use nginx to then serve the file system files. This might require
you install a local nginx just for serving file storage on the
plone server. You can get creative with how your file storage
is used though.

2) Since in plone's delete operation, it can be interrupted and the deletion
of a file on the OS system system can not be done within a transaction,
no files are ever deleted. However, there is an action you can
put in a cron task to clean up your file storage directory. Just call the
url `http://zeoinstace/plone/@@dvcleanup-filestorage`.


Upgrading from page turner
--------------------------

If you currently have page turner installed, this project will supercede
it. Your page turner views will work but no future files added to the site
will be converted to page turner.

To convert existing view, on every page turner enabled file, there will
be a button `Document Viewer Convert` that you can click to manually
convert page turner to document viewer.

To convert all existing views, go to portal_setup in the zmi, upgrades,
select collective.documentviewer, click to show old upgrades and there
should be an `upgrade-all` step to run.


Installation on Cent OS/Red hat
-------------------------------

Special instructions for centos have been contributed by Eric Tyrer.
You can access them via `the git hub repo file location <https://github.com/collective/collective.documentviewer/blob/master/CENTOS-INSTALL.rst>`_.

Installation
-------------------------------
If on a linux/ubuntu/debian machine you run into an error like::

/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/docsplit-0.7.2/lib/docsplit/image_extractor.rb:51:in `exists?': can't convert nil into String (TypeError)
from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/docsplit-0.7.2/lib/docsplit/image_extractor.rb:51:in `ensure in convert'

This is because the ruby docsplit library is having an issue with the temp
folder accesses, and removal of temp files. Just run the following command::

sudo chmod 1777 /tmp && sudo chmod 1777 /var/tmp

And retry the conversion of your document



Development

Normal flow:

git clone [e-mail]:collective/collective.documentviewer.git
