Intro

10pdf is a pdf render server which is driven by pdf.js .

Why

In most cases, render pdf by server is meanless, only when:

• Your users are still using IE and not install Adobe Acrobat Plugin yet.
• The PDF file size is quite large and you do not want to consume browser's performance too much.
• more precise permission control. e.g. forbid text copy.

How to run

Notice: make sure your Node.js version is 12+

npm install --production
npm run start

you can put the pdf file into server/static/pdf_cache directory or use the Internet resource directly, 10pdf can cache remote file into this directory

config json
