Some bugs/errors may occur so kindly notify in a mean time.
What things you need to deploy the project and details of them -
- Git setup and knowledge to pull the repository locally.
- Any JAVA/Swing UI language IDE such as Eclipse.
- A little knowledge on how to setup a JAVA project and export to .jar executable to run the software.
- Java JDK/JRE 8 or later for runtime enviroment and deployment.
- API's which are used here are- iText 0.9.1 and PDF Renderer 5.5.9
- Any system with Linux/MacOSX/Windows.
A step by step series that tell you how to get a development environment and project up and running. You can run it without any installation as it is cross platform (JAVA based GUI software) by following the below mentioned steps.
The following steps are required for setting source code in Eclipse IDE and creating a .jar executable in Eclipse.
1. git clone <repoRemoteName> Pull the repository using repository URL using Git Bash.
2. Create a same name Java Project i.e., TinyPDF in workspace.
3. Download the latest .jar files of iText 0.9.1 and PDF Renderer 5.5.9 and add the libraries in this project for proper working.
4. Convert it to Java project: Add nature and buildCommand elements from other Java project to your .project file (this is optional).
5. Then from Project > Properties > Java Build Path > Source, add your source file and folders (and possible libraries).
6. Then run the mainActivity.java
Note: If you want the .jar executable file export the build using Eclipse.
