create pdf content type

[Natkeeran]

In the January 24, 2018 CLAW meeting, pdf was suggested as an example content type for people to learn about content modelling in CLAW.

Scope

Islandora 1.7.x supports the following datastreams: RELS-EXT, MODS, DC, OBJ, TECHMD, TN, PREVIEW, FULL_TEXT.

RELS-EXT is not relevant in the CLAW context. MODS and DC depend on the out come of the metadata discussions and the development of application profiles. The user always has the option to add metadata fields they need directly into the content type. TECHMD is also an optional datastream.

Thus, OBJ -> pdf_file, TN, PREVIEW, FULL_TEXT media types are needed.

Drupal currently has several pdf viewers. The promising one seem to be https://www.drupal.org/project/pdf.

Code

Using the above viewer, a test module has been created here: https://github.com/Natkeeran/islandora_pdf

Documentation
