We are excited to announce FillPDF LocalServer, a replacement for the current Java servlet that uses PHP/JavaBridge.
It uses Docker, meaning that it's fairly easy to set up regardless of platform. You only need to be able to install Docker.
Rather than the Drupal module accessing it over shared message passing, it provides a modern REST API. The updated Drupal modules simply make HTTP requests to this and process the result. It is nice and fast.
Additionally, this architecture lets you run FillPDF LocalServer wherever you want. The server on which your Drupal site is running just needs to be able to access it.
And since it's a REST API, you don't actually even need to use Drupal. Use whatever programming language or platform you want! You only need to be able to make HTTP requests.
Full instructions and documentation can be found on the project page.
New versions of the Drupal module that support FillPDF LocalServer can be found on the module's drupal.org project page. Can FillPDF LocalServer be used with programming languages or platforms other than Drupal, and what requirements are necessary to make HTTP requests?
user
Yes, FillPDF LocalServer is designed to be a generic web service that can be used with any programming language or platform that can make HTTP requests. This means you can use it with languages like Python, JavaScript, Ruby, and more. It's not specific to Drupal or Java.

To make HTTP requests in programming languages like Python or JavaScript, you could use built-in libraries such as `requests` for Python or `fetch` for JavaScript.

However, there may be some setup required to use FillPDF LocalServer with specific platforms. For example, in Python, you would need to install the Python library for FillPDF LocalServer, which is available at https://pypi.org/project/fillpdf/. You would also need to specify the host and port of your FillPDF LocalServer.

In terms of requirements, for general HTTP clients to run FillPDF LocalServer, you'll need Docker, as mentioned in the instruction. The FillPDF LocalServer also requires Java 11. However, specific requirements for using FillPDF LocalServer with a particular software can vary depending on the software. Please refer to official documentation, libraries, or consult with experts in the relevant area to determine what specific technical requirements might be needed.

Also, for programming language syntax, syntax-specific libraries (e.g., for handling HTTP requests) would be required. But generally, it has become simple to use in other platforms.

user
Yes, FillPDF LocalServer can indeed be used with programming languages or platforms other than Drupal. Since it provides a modern REST API, you can use any programming language or platform that can make HTTP requests to interact with it. This includes, but is not limited to, languages like Python, JavaScript, Ruby, and many others.

The requirements to make HTTP requests typically include having a library or module in your chosen language that supports HTTP. Nearly all modern programming languages have this capability either built-in or through a popular third-party library.

For example, in Python, you could use the `requests` library to make HTTP requests. In JavaScript, you could use the built-in `fetch` function or libraries like `axios`.

Please refer to the documentation of the FillPDF LocalServer and your chosen programming language for specific instructions on how to make these requests.
