README

This package provides a very simple PDF Validator. In fact you can only check if the Pdf is readable by pdftocairo without problems.

$validator = new \Ottosmops\Pdfvalidate\Validator('/path/to/file.pdf');  
if (!$validator->check()) {
    echo $validator->error;
    echo $validator->output; // original information
    exit(1);
} 

// the pdf should be ok
// do something useful ...

This is the command which is used behind the scene: pdftocairo -pdf path/to/file - 2>&1 >/dev/null.

There are 2 optional parameters: $executable (path to the command); $timeout (in seconds):

$validator = new \Ottosmops\Pdfvalidate\Validator($file, $executable = '', $timeout = 60); 

Requirements

The Package uses pdftocairo. Make sure that this is installed: which pdftocairo

For Installation see: poppler-utils

If the installed binary is not found ("The command "which pdftoppm" failed.") you can pass the full path to the _constructor (see below) or use putenv('PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/:/usr/bin') (with the dir where pdftoppm lives) before you call the class Converter.

Installation

composer require ottosmops/pdfvalidate
