PDFreactor can be deployed as a Java library, command line tool, or can be used with a .NET, PHP, Perl, Python or Ruby API. If it is used as a Java library or command line, no further installation is required.

Note:

For details about system requirements and information about the latest changes, please see the readme.txt contained within the PDFreactor installation package.

However, if the .NET, PHP, Perl, Python or Ruby APIs are used, an application server running PDFreactor as a service is required. PDFreactor is delivered with a pre-configured version of Jetty, which enables you to quickly deploy PDFreactor as a service on your server.

This chapter details the system requirements that must be met in order to run PDFreactor as a service.
