SpringBoot

This project is intended to be used by SpringBoot Applications or ran as a standalone application.

To run as a standalone application, simply package the project with maven and run the pdf-generator-2.0.0-exec.jar. The application by default runs on port 8080, to change simply pass in your own application.yml file. You can test the app using swagger: localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html

To use as a library you will need to add the annotation below to your configuration class:

@ComponentScan({"uk.gov.dwp.gysp.pdf.processor"})

If @ComponentScan is already in use it will need to be expanded, for example:

@ComponentScan({"uk.gov.dwp.gysp.foo", "uk.gov.dwp.gysp.pdf.processor"})

PDF Generator

This class takes json input and outputs a PDF file.

For example:

@Autowired
private PdfGeneratorProcessor pdfGeneratorProcessor;

final JsonNode json = new ObjectMapper().readTree("{\"First Name\":\"Samba\"}");

final byte[] result = pdfGenerator.generatePdfStream(json);
