Alfresco pdf toolkit

EjikeAlfie — Fri, 15 Aug 2025 14:40:58 GMT

Hi people,

I would like to find out if Alfresco Community 25.2 edition is compatible with pdf-toolkit, and if it is, how do I go about installing and deploying it using Docker?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

Hi Fedorow,

I have done the following:

I downloaded the following file from angelborroy/alfresco-pdf-toolkit for ACS7+ compatible: pdf-toolkit-repo-1.4.4-SNAPSHOT.amp and pdf-toolkit-share-1.4.3-SNAPSHOT.amp
I moved them to the various directories, i.e., the amp directory inside the modules directory and inside the share or alfresco directory, as applicable.
I then ran the command: sudo docker-compose up --build --force-recreate -d
After this, I ran the command: docker-compose up
The alfresco application is up, but when I go to: http://localhost/share/page/modules/deploy. It does not show any of the PDF-toolkit modules like append, extract, and co

Is there something I still need to do or a process I am omitting?

okay, what I can notice:

Learn how docker compose works.
The http://localhost/share/page/modules/deploy must show the long list of pdftoolkit components. If it is not, check the path ./share/modules/amps/ to the pdf-toolkit-share-1.4.3-SNAPSHOT.amp module file. Run 'docker compose build --no-cache share' or in your old version plugin format 'sudo docker-compose build --no-cache share' to install module into share application.
Look into alfresco node browser http://localhost/alfresco/s/admin/admin-nodebrowser , choose 'system://system' store and go to path 'sys:system-registry/module:modules'. If there is no pdf-tookit-repo module check the path ./alfresco/modules/amps/ for the pdf-toolkit-repo-1.4.4-SNAPSHOT.amp file and install it in the same way: 'sudo docker-compose build --no-cache alfresco'.
Restart the compose: sudo docker-compose up -d -build --force-recreate and check installation again. To make sure you have clean deployment run 'sudo docker-compose down' to stop and delete all components and then start it again 'sudo docker-compose up -d -build --force-recreate'.

Hi Fedorow,

When I go to the: http://localhost/alfresco/s/admin/admin-nodebrowser, this is the image I see:

I do not see the pdf-toolkit-repo module, but in my terminal, when I check, I see the following:

Hi Fedorow,

This is the code for the Dockerfile for the "share":

Also if I check my Docker desktop, the .amp file in modules is not copied to "amps_share", in /usr/local/tomcat/amps_share:

Re: Alfresco pdf toolkit

fedorow — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 14:52:47 GMT

Check you volumes in docker-compose.yml and COPY commands in Dockerfile. Remember what local path and docker container path completely different things.

As I understand you do not use https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-docker-installer for your deployment, so the path and names could differs. I can't help you as I do not have your project files.

This command in share Dockerfile installs the modules from $TOMCAT_DIR/amps_share container folder:

# Install Share AMPs (note: using amps_share directory)
RUN java -jar $TOMCAT_DIR/alfresco-mmt/alfresco-mmt*.jar install \
$TOMCAT_DIR/amps_share $TOMCAT_DIR/webapps/share -directory -nobackup -force

Make sure you COPY your local amp files to amps_share container directory.

Hi Fedorow,

I am using the https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-docker-installer for my deployment. I have been able to build the pdf-toolkit-share-1.4.3-SNAPSHOT.amp for share, and I can see the deployment modules

The issue is when I build the pdf-toolkit-repo-1.4.4-SNAPSHOT.amp for alfresco, it throws up errors and corrupts the webapps, you can see the logs below:

This is my Dockerfile code for alfresco amps below:

I do not have information about compatibility, but the provided screenshots was created on Alfresco Community Edition 25.2 with pdf-toolkit-repo-1.4.4-SNAPSHOT.amp.

Try temporarily remove the amp file from the ./alfresco/modules/amps folder and rebuild and restart the Alfresco container.

Hi Fedorow,

Just to confirm, I installed and deployed the alfresco application and addons with docker via linux/ubuntu. Could that be the issue?
I have temporarily removed the amp file and have restarted the Alfresco container.

Hi Fedorow,

I just built the toolkit-repo-1.4.4-SNAPSHOT.amp again, and these are the logs I am getting when it fails to start.

Only the share modules have been deployed in the http://localhost/share/page/modules/deploy

Hi Fedorow,

Please can you give me a bullet point of the steps you took and the commands you ran, so I can follow step by step. That way, I do not miss out on anything.

I'm not to sure it will help, but if you are using Ubuntu then reinstall Docker Engine. You have old style "docker-compose" plugin. Uninstall the old docker-compose first. Here is documentation:

I have reinstalled Docker Engine from scratch, and I am no longer using Docker desktop. These are the logs I see from alfresco.
