Installation

• Install ImageMagick, using sudo apt-get install imagemagick

Git clone this repository into /path/to/mytardis/tardis/tardis_portal/filters:

git clone git@github.com:wettenhj/pdf-mytardis-filter.git pdf

Add the following to your MyTardis settings file eg. /path/to/mytardis/tardis/settings.py

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES + ('tardis.tardis_portal.filters.FilterInitMiddleware',)

The above enables the filter middleware for all actions.

Then add the definition for this filter.
