Editing Coversheets (section)

====PDFBox====
Installing PDFBox requires Java to be installed.  As root or with sudo this can be done by running the appropriate following command:

* Debian 8 / Ubuntu 16.04 (and later):
  apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

* Debian 7 / Ubuntu 14.04:
  apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk

* RedHat/Fedora/CentOS 7:
  yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk

Once installed download the latest pdf-app-2.x.x JAR file from https://pdfbox.apache.org/download.cgi#20x, e.g.:

 cd /opt/eprints3/archives/example/bin/tools/
 wget http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/rsync.apache.org/pdfbox/2.0.24/pdfbox-app-2.0.24.jar

Now create the stitching Bash script that uses the PDFBox JAR file under the filename '''stitchPDFs''' in your archives bin/tools/ directory and add the following ''(provided by Jonathan Green / University of Nottingham)'':

 #/bin/bash
 dir=`dirname $0`
 
 if [ $# -eq 3 ]
 then
     # for compatibility with old eprints config we use the order: outputfile firstPDF secondPDF
     java -jar "$dir/pdfbox-app-2.0.2.jar" PDFMerger "$2" "$3" "$1"
 else
     echo "Usage: stitchPDFs <outputfile> <coversheet> <originalfile>"
 fi

Modify the permissions on this files so it can be executed:

 chmod a+x bin/tools/stitchPDFs
