How I archived 100 million PDF documents... (Part 1)
So, when I started to view the documents, a lot of them simply failed to open. I had to look around for a library that could verify PDF documents. I had some experience with PDFBox in the past, so it seemed to be a good go-to solution. It had no way to verify documents by default, but it could open and parse them and that was enough to filter out the incorrect ones. It felt a little bit strange just to read the whole PDF into the memory to verify if it is correct or not, but hey I needed a simple fix for now and it worked really well.
- Best FOSS (ideally Docker) that can split PDF files ?
-
PDF processing and analysis with open-source tools
PDFBox can do this. It’s not part of the CLI but it wouldn’t be too hard to add:
