Installation

python3 -m pip install pdfimpose-web

Run the application

Run the application using the following command.

python3 -m flask --app pdfimposeweb run

You can now use pdfimpose-web at: http://localhost:5000.

Note that you might want to configure the application using the settings described in the following section.

Settings

This application can be run with default settings (but with default settings, data might be reset if you restart it).

To configure it:

• download file pdfimposeweb/settings/default.py to your disk,

• change it (it is self-documented),

• tell pdfimpose-web to use it:

  export PDFIMPOSEWEB_SETTINGS=/path/to/settings.py
  python3 -m flask --app pdfimposeweb run
  

Cleaning

Files uploaded by users are stored during one hour by default. This can be changed in the setting file.

A thread is launched at startup to clean those files. This can be disabled in the setting file. If disabled, the script pdfimposeweb.clean can be run periodically (e.g. in a crontab) to remove old uploaded PDF files. Note that the very same configuration used to run the application must be used to run this script:

export PDFIMPOSEWEB_SETTINGS=/path/to/settings.py
python3 -m pdfimposeweb.clean
