The Islandora Paged Content module is required by the Book Solution Pack and Newspaper Solution Pack modules, to provide numbered, individual pages as objects. This module takes files in TIFF format, and is able to create several kinds of derivatives depending on the type of collection they are being ingested into. Solution Packs that use the Paged Content module are referred to below as under 'Paged Content collectionsProvisions'.

Dependencies

• Islandora
• Tuque
• The Large Image Solution Pack is required to create image derivatives

• Ghostscript is used to compile PDF derivatives into a single document

Adding a collection that uses the Paged Content module (such as Book and Newspaper Solution Pack) adds a new button to the end of the 'Manage' tab - 'Book', for the Book Solution Pack, and 'Newspaper' for the Newspaper Solution Pack, for example. It also adds a 'Page' button to the 'Manage' tab of any page objects added to a Paged Content collection.

Clicking on this button the "Manage" button of a page object will bring up several options, depending on what components of the module are selected and enabled:

• Create PDF - This section includes the ability to create either a single page PDF if selected from a single page's 'Manage' tab, or a PDF of an entire Paged Content collection if selected from the collection's 'Manage' tab. The resolution of the image can also be set here. Creating a PDF will overwrite any existing PDF datastream.
• Perform OCR - This section includes the ability to create OCR datastreams for a single page if selected from that page's 'Manage' tab, or OCR datastreams for an entire Paged Content collection if selected if selected from the collection's 'Manage' tab. If multiple languages are installed into Tesseract, the option to switch between them will also be given here. Creating new OCR datastreams will overwrite any existing ones.
• Create Images - This section adds the option to create image derivatives if the Large Image Solution Pack is installed. Any existing image derivatives will be overwritten if this is used. If this option is selected from a Paged Content collection, the option will be given to create a thumbnail image for the collection from the first ordered page, updating and overwriting any existing thumbnail.
• Reorder Pages Edit OCR - This section allows a user to re-order the pages in a Paged Content collection if they are not in their correct place.Delete Pages - This section allows a user to remove pages from a Paged Content collection.you to manually edit the OCR datastream.

You can also perform these actions against a batch of Page objects, and also Reorder Pages and Delete Pages, from the "Manage" > "Book" tab of a Book object:

Configuration

Few configuration options exist for the paged Paged content module out-of-the-box; most . Most of the configuration is associated with the relevant, dependent solution pack (book Book or newspaperNewspaper).  The The configuration page at Administration » > Islandora » > Solution pack configuration » > Paged Content Module (admin/islandora/solution_pack_config/paged_content) has the following options:

...

Enter the path to the Ghostscript executable here. This will allow multi-page PDFs to be compiled using each page in the book or newspaper. More information about installing Ghostscript on your server can be found at the official project website, http://www.ghostscript.com/.Image Removed

There is also an option to set the page label to the page's sequence number. On ingest, each page's label will be set to its sequence number. When reordering pages, all of the page labels will be updated with the new sequence numbers.
