Docker container to run PDF manipulation utitilies (pdftk, ghostscript...).

Dockerfile Docker Build Docker Stars Docker Pulls Docker Version

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

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.
