First Steps
The rpe-poppler Docker Compose stack provides the PDF conversion functionality of Poppler's pdftocairo(1) tool behind a small REST interface. It allows one to render a PDF into the formats PDF, PostScript, SVG, PNG, JPEG and TIFF. For PNG, JPEG and TIFF only single pages can be rendered, of course.
Example:
$ curl -D- -s -X POST -F "file=@sample.pdf" \ --basic --user poppler:poppler -o sample.png \ "http://<server>:3000/poppler/png?f=1"
