Installation

The following features are only tested / supported on linux hosts:

  • General: QFQ is coded to run on Linux hosts, preferable on Debian derivates like Ubuntu.
  • HTML to PDF conversion - command wkhtmltopdf and qfqpdf.
  • Concatenation of PDF files - command pdfunite.
  • Convert of images to PDF files - command img2pdf.
  • PDF decrypt (used for merge with pdfunite) - command qpdf.
  • PDF decrypt (used for merge with pdfunite) - command gs - in case qpdf is not successful.
  • PDF fix (used for merge with pdfunite) - command pdf2ps and ps2pdf - in case qpdf is not successful.
  • Mime type detection for uploads - command file.
  • Split PDF into JPG - command convert.
  • Repair PDF - command pdftocairo.
  • Convert HEIC/HEIF to png - command heif-info and heif-convert.

Preparation

Report & Form

To normalize UTF8 input, php-intl package is needed by

  • normalizer::normalize()

For the :ref:`download` function, the programs img2pdf, pdfunite, qpdf, gs, pdf2ps, ps2pdf and file are necessary to concatenate PDF files.

Preparation for Ubuntu:

sudo apt install php-intl
# for file upload, PDF and 'HTML to PDF' (wkhtmltopdf), PDF split
sudo apt install poppler-utils libxrender1 file pdf2svg qpdf ghostscript img2pdf libheif-examples
sudo apt install inkscape imagemagick            # to render thumbnails

HTML to PDF: qfqpdf

The below named wkhtml becomes more and more outdated (no further development). As a replacement, QFQ started to use puppeteer (https://developers.google.com/web/tools/puppeteer/). The tool can't be used directly, a wrapper is neccessary which is available under https://git.math.uzh.ch/bbaer/qfqpdf. The wrapper uses and installs always the latest version of puppeteer. On first start and during updates, it might take longer to render a pdf.

Installation:

mkdir /opt/qfqpdf; cd /opt/qfqpdf
curl -L -o qfqpdf https://www.math.uzh.ch/repo/qfqpdf/current/qfqpdf-linux
chmod a+x qfqpdf
./qfqpdf --version

HTML to PDF: wkhtmltopdf

wkhtmltopdf will be used by QFQ to offer 'website print' and 'HTML to PDF' conversion. The program is not included in QFQ and has to be manually installed.
