People are uploading PDF files and those are not supported at all and will result in no flashcards generated. I am thinking of adding some basic content analysis and then generate flashcards that. This is a better approach then the current failed uploads. Of course this adds complexity but there are open source alternatives out there to do the heavy lifting.

Interesting projects

  • Apache Tika - a content analysis toolkit
  • Poppler - Poppler is a PDF rendering library based on the xpdf-3.0 code base.
  • Apache PDFBox - open source Java tool for working with PDF documents.
  • pdfminer.six - community maintained fork of the original PDFMiner.

Another issue is password protected files, should that be done with this or seperately?

This is being worked on and has been moved to private Jira due to some PDF documents being sensitive
