docker-tex-to-pdf

Simple (but not small) Docker which takes a latex file and compiles and converts it to PDF/A

Build docker

1. First build base Docker image

   • Run docker build -f Dockerfile.base -t tex-to-pdfa-base:12-slim .
   • 12-slim is equivalent to the os-image
   • This base Docker is primarily intended for better caching, as this Docker image will be quite large (ca. 5 GB and around several minutes building due to download)

2. Build the app Docker image

   • Run docker build -f Dockerfile.app -t tex-to-pdfa .

Usage of docker image

1. Prepare source-dir

   • The TeX-file is to be expected as main.tex
   • The dir must contain all necessary files

2. Run Docker

   • Map/mount the source-dir to /data
   • Example: docker run -v "$(pwd)/test":/data tex-to-pdfa

3. Enjoy PDF/A file

   • Final file is put into source-dir named main.pdf

DEBUG Server
