Combine PDF pages

The Transformation API and ImageService API allow for combining PDF pages.

The source parameters can read four different sources:

• XML (XML-Nodes as a variable not yet possible)

• URL

• file locator

• storage item

assetTransformation, fopTransformation, xslTransformation

• the "source"-parameter can also be a xml-node

• Commissioning of parameters with XML nodes as xsl-parameters-Parameter with sub-parameter elements

<cs:command name="com.censhare.api.transformation.XslTransformation" returning="dummy">
			<cs:param name="stylesheet" select="concat($config, 'modules/content_export/stylesheets/export.xsl'"/>
			<cs:param name="source" select="$chapterAsset/storage_item[@key='master'][1]"/>
			<cs:param name="dest" select="concat($parentDir, 'chapter-', $chapterAsset/@id, '.xhtml')"/>
			<cs:param name="xsl-parameters">
				<cs:param name="parent-asset">
					<xsl:copy-of select="$parentAsset"/>
				<cs:param>
				<cs:param name="child-asset-id" select="10000"/>
			</cs:param>
		</cs:command>

The parameter "transform" is officially deprecated (only works for backwards compatibility):

<cs:param name="transform">
  <transform format="xhtml"/>
</cs:param>

For reasons of compatibility, atomic values ​​are still available as attributes in the variable "transform". Additionally, they are also passed as standalone XSLT variables.

Example:

<param name="target-asset-id" value="10000"/>
==> (deprecated)

	$transform = <transform target-asset-id="10000"/>


$target-asset-id = 10000


 fopTransformation

"stylesheet"-parameter substitutes "key"-parameter, which can read all sources

 xslTransformation

"stylesheet"-parameter for all sources

CreateVirtualFileSystem

• The result is a full file path in Temp-URL-Syntax.

censhare://service/filesystem/temp/_4b00328c-a299-4b9e-83ec-7cfad03098c9/"

New Commands

" com.censhare.api.pdf.CombinePDF

"Parameter "sources": XML-Node

<sources>
<source type="file" value="/modules/..." pages="(1,2,3)"/>
<source type="file-locator" value="..." pages="1"/>
<source type="url" value="censhare://..."/>
</sources>

If the "pages" parameter is missing, all pages are read.
Parameter „dest“: represents the file locator of the destination file.

File-Locators to assets

REST extension for:

• Access to temporary filesystem: "censhare://service/filesystem/" + name of file system + "/" + path

• censhare://service/filesystem/temp/_4b00328c-a299-4b9e-83ec-7cfad03098c9/result.jpg"

Asset management enhancements

A temporary file is assigned via REST URL. Previously:

corpus:asset-temp-filesystem="temp" und corpus:asset-temp-filepath="11/80/118009.gif"

New alternative option:

corpus:asset-temp-file-url="censhare://service/filesystem/temp/11/80/118009.gif
