This REST webservice checks local PDF files for their accessibility. To use this webservice the following things are required:
- Apache Tomcat,
- Java (both OpenJDK and Oracle Java SE should work).
After deploying the .war the functionality can be checked by entering this url in a browser (on the same system): http://localhost:8080/PDF-Accessibility-Check/rest/helloJson
The third-party library for PDFBox is NOT contained in this git. Please download it yourself from the Apache PDFBox site and put it in the directory /WebContent/WEB-INF/lib. Tested with pdfbox-app-1.8.6.jar.
Also see "README_Adding_Criterions.txt" for adding new criteria to the server.
This server was developed for the Moodle Plugin "MoodlePlugin_PDFChecker". More information about this can be found in the repository MoodlePlugin_PDFChecker.
