django-filer-pdf

This is a fork of Patrick Toal's PDF plugin for django-filer. Currently this app does only provide a PDF icon for PDF-files. But maybe more features are added to make the originally intended features happen. Contributions are welcome ;-)

Dependencies

• django-filer > 0.9a2

Installation

To get started using django-filer-pdf simply install it with pip:

$ pip install django-filer-pdf

Configuration

Add "filer_pdf" to your project's INSTALLED_APPS setting and run syncdb or migrate.

Original text

This app extends django-filer by adding the following features for PDF files:

• Thumbnail generation for the first page of PDF documents.
• Text extraction from PDF for indexing by search engines ( eg: Haystack )

• Currently in "vaporware" state *
