This is a web service for Textricator, a library for parsing data from computer-generated PDF files.

Notes:

There is currently no way to upload PDFs.

Web UI

The web UI for each PDF has a link to download the PDF, a button to show the raw text content of the PDF, and allows you to type in the configuration for Textricator, and click a button to parse the PDF and show the results.

/files/ has links to the web UI pages for the available PDFs.

Endpoints:

GET /files/

GET /files/{id}.pdf

Download the PDF for the specified ID. Produces application/pdf.

GET /files/{id}.pdf/text

POST /files/{id}.pdf/fsm/{format}
