DocumentCloud is a catalog of primary source documents and a tool for annotating, organizing and publishing them on the web. Documents are contributed by journalists, researchers and archivists.

This codebase contains the entirety of DocumentCloud.org, and pulls together the rest of our open-source projects: Docsplit is used to extract data from incoming documents; that work is parallelized across CloudCrowd; data on the client-side is modeled by Backbone.js, which depends on Underscore.js for all of its abilities; Jammit concatenates and compresses the dozens of CSS and JS files into a single asset package; the NYTimes' Document Viewer displays the documents, while Pixel Ping records the traffic.

If you find a security issue while browsing the source, please email [email protected] to inform us of the problem.

Code contributed to this project is provided under the MIT license (see the LICENSE file). Some components of the project are subject to their own licenses as indicated (see /vendor and /public/javascripts/vendor directories).

pdfshaver's Issues

Vagrantfile for testing memory stuff.

Homebrew formula: tools/clang/scripts/update.py is missing

I'm seeing the following error:

build/gyp_pdfium

Updating projects from gyp files...
/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file '../tools/clang/scripts/update.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
gyp: Call to 'python ../tools/clang/scripts/update.py --print-revision' returned exit status 2 while in /private/tmp/pdfium20151228-46857-htvxjl/build/all.gyp.

I'm not sure how to get tools/clang/scripts/update.py. Googling didn't turn up any clear fix.

gem install pdfshaver fails on ubuntu

When trying to install pdfshaver on ubunti 14.04, it failed and created this output http://pastie.org/10123749. First I must say I'm a python developer and know nothing about ruby. In trying to debug this I ventured into rake, I cloned pdfshaver from git, installed ruby-dev (and ruby-all-dev and ruby1.9.1-dev), rake-compiler, and bundler but end up with rake aborted (http://pastie.org/10123756)

License?

I am certain I am just missing it -- but I can't seem to find the license for this?

Benchmarks vs docsplit?

Thanks for putting this gem together. Been testing PDFium and wondering if you guys already came to a conclusion on the performance tradeoff between it and the methods in Docsplit (poppler/etc) for image extraction?

Just wondering before diving in and repeating work.

pdfium_ruby not working under ruby 2.3.1

Just tried to install pdfshaver in the latest xenial distro. Used the default system ruby (now 2.3.1), which worked when 2.3.0 was the ubuntu default. The make seems to work, but here's what I get when I require 'pdfshaver':

pry -e "require 'pdfshaver'" LoadError: /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/pdfshaver-0.0.3/lib/pdfium_ruby.so: undefined symbol: FPDFAPIJPEG_jpeg_destroy_decompress - /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/pdfshaver-0.0.3/lib/pdfium_ruby.so from /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/pdfshaver-0.0.3/lib/pdfshaver.rb:13:inrequire_relative'
`

If feels like the fpdf api library is not linking properly.

PDFShaver segfaults on OSX when sqlite3 gem is loaded
