+You are a professional software engineer specializing in reviewing pull request titles.
+
+Your job is to analyze a git diff and an existing PR title, then evaluate and improve the PR title.
+
+You must:
+- Always return valid JSON
+- Only return the JSON response (no Markdown, no formatting)
+- Use one of these conventional commit types at the beginning of the title: build, chore, ci, docs, feat, fix, perf, refactor, revert, style, test
+- Use lowercase only, no emojis, no trailing period
+- Ensure the title is between 5 and 72 printable ASCII characters
+- Never let spelling or grammar errors affect the rating
+- If the PR title is rated 6 or higher and only contains spelling or grammar mistakes, correct it - do not rephrase it
+- If the PR title is rated below 6, generate a new, better title based on the diff

+
+            This Pull Request was automatically generated to synchronize updates to translation files and documentation. Below are the details of the changes made:
+
+            #### **1. Synchronization of Translation Files**
+            - Updated translation files (`messages_*.properties`) to reflect changes in the reference file `messages_en_GB.properties`.
+            - Ensured consistency and synchronization across all supported language files.
+            - Highlighted any missing or incomplete translations.
+
+            #### **2. Update README.md**
+            - Generated the translation progress table in `README.md`.
+            - Added a summary of the current translation status for all supported languages.
+            - Included up-to-date statistics on translation coverage.
+
+            #### **Why these changes are necessary**
+            - Keeps translation files aligned with the latest reference updates.
+            - Ensures the documentation reflects the current translation progress.

+# Adding New React Tools to Stirling PDF
+
+This guide covers how to add new PDF tools to the React frontend, either by migrating existing Thymeleaf templates or creating entirely new tools.
+
+## Overview
+
+When adding tools, follow this systematic approach using the established patterns and architecture.
+
+## 1. Create Tool Structure
+
+Create these files in the correct directories:
+```
+frontend/src/hooks/tools/[toolName]/
+  ├── use[ToolName]Parameters.ts     # Parameter definitions and validation
+  └── use[ToolName]Operation.ts      # Tool operation logic using useToolOperation
+
+frontend/src/components/tools/[toolName]/
+  └── [ToolName]Settings.tsx         # Settings UI component (if needed)
+
+frontend/src/tools/
+  └── [ToolName].tsx                 # Main tool component
+```
+
+## 2. Implementation Pattern
+
+Use `useBaseTool` for simplified hook management. This is the recommended approach for all new tools:
+
+**Parameters Hook** (`use[ToolName]Parameters.ts`):
+```typescript
+import { BaseParameters } from '../../../types/parameters';
+import { useBaseParameters, BaseParametersHook } from '../shared/useBaseParameters';
+
+export interface [ToolName]Parameters extends BaseParameters {
+  // Define your tool-specific parameters here
+  someOption: boolean;
+}
+
+export const defaultParameters: [ToolName]Parameters = {
+  someOption: false,
+};
+
+export const use[ToolName]Parameters = (): BaseParametersHook<[ToolName]Parameters> => {
+  return useBaseParameters({
+    defaultParameters,
+    endpointName: 'your-endpoint-name',
+    validateFn: (params) => true, // Add validation logic
+  });
+};
+```
+
+**Operation Hook** (`use[ToolName]Operation.ts`):
+```typescript
+import { useTranslation } from 'react-i18next';
+import { ToolType, useToolOperation } from '../shared/useToolOperation';
+import { createStandardErrorHandler } from '../../../utils/toolErrorHandler';
+
+export const build[ToolName]FormData = (parameters: [ToolName]Parameters, file: File): FormData => {
+  const formData = new FormData();
+  formData.append('fileInput', file);
+  // Add parameters to formData
+  return formData;
+};
+
+export const [toolName]OperationConfig = {
+  toolType: ToolType.singleFile, // or ToolType.multiFile (buildFormData's file parameter will need to be updated)
+  buildFormData: build[ToolName]FormData,
+  operationType: '[toolName]',
+  endpoint: '/api/v1/category/endpoint-name',
+  filePrefix: 'processed_', // Will be overridden with translation
+  defaultParameters,
+} as const;
+
+export const use[ToolName]Operation = () => {
+  const { t } = useTranslation();
+  return useToolOperation({
+    ...[toolName]OperationConfig,
+    filePrefix: t('[toolName].filenamePrefix', 'processed') + '_',
+    getErrorMessage: createStandardErrorHandler(t('[toolName].error.failed', 'Operation failed'))
+  });
+};
+```
+
+**Main Component** (`[ToolName].tsx`):
+```typescript
+import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next";
+import { createToolFlow } from "../components/tools/shared/createToolFlow";
+import { use[ToolName]Parameters } from "../hooks/tools/[toolName]/use[ToolName]Parameters";
+import { use[ToolName]Operation } from "../hooks/tools/[toolName]/use[ToolName]Operation";
+import { useBaseTool } from "../hooks/tools/shared/useBaseTool";
+import { BaseToolProps, ToolComponent } from "../types/tool";
+
+const [ToolName] = (props: BaseToolProps) => {
+  const { t } = useTranslation();
+  const base = useBaseTool('[toolName]', use[ToolName]Parameters, use[ToolName]Operation, props);
+
+  return createToolFlow({
+    files: {
+      selectedFiles: base.selectedFiles,
+      isCollapsed: base.hasResults,
+      placeholder: t("[toolName].files.placeholder", "Select files to get started"),
+    },
+    steps: [
+      // Add settings steps if needed
+    ],
+    executeButton: {
+      text: t("[toolName].submit", "Process"),
+      isVisible: !base.hasResults,
+      loadingText: t("loading"),
+      onClick: base.handleExecute,
+      disabled: !base.params.validateParameters() || !base.hasFiles || !base.endpointEnabled,
+    },
+    review: {
+      isVisible: base.hasResults,
+      operation: base.operation,
+      title: t("[toolName].results.title", "Results"),
+      onFileClick: base.handleThumbnailClick,
+      onUndo: base.handleUndo,
+    },
+  });
+};
+
+[ToolName].tool = () => use[ToolName]Operation;
+export default [ToolName] as ToolComponent;
+```
+
+**Note**: Some existing tools (like AddPassword, Compress) use a legacy pattern with manual hook management. **Always use the Modern Pattern above for new tools** - it's cleaner, more maintainable, and includes automation support.
+
+## 3. Register Tool in System
+Update these files to register your new tool:
+
+**Tool Registry** (`frontend/src/data/useTranslatedToolRegistry.tsx`):
+1. Add imports at the top:
+```typescript
+import [ToolName] from "../tools/[ToolName]";
+import { [toolName]OperationConfig } from "../hooks/tools/[toolName]/use[ToolName]Operation";
+import [ToolName]Settings from "../components/tools/[toolName]/[ToolName]Settings";
+```
+
+2. Add tool entry in the `allTools` object:
+```typescript
+[toolName]: {
+  icon: <LocalIcon icon="your-icon-name" width="1.5rem" height="1.5rem" />,
+  name: t("home.[toolName].title", "Tool Name"),
+  component: [ToolName],
+  description: t("home.[toolName].desc", "Tool description"),
+  categoryId: ToolCategoryId.STANDARD_TOOLS, // or appropriate category
+  subcategoryId: SubcategoryId.APPROPRIATE_SUBCATEGORY,
+  maxFiles: -1, // or specific number
+  endpoints: ["endpoint-name"],
+  operationConfig: [toolName]OperationConfig,
+  settingsComponent: [ToolName]Settings, // if settings exist
+},
+```
+
+## 4. Add Tooltips (Optional but Recommended)
+Create user-friendly tooltips to help non-technical users understand your tool. **Use simple, clear language - avoid technical jargon:**
+
+**Tooltip Hook** (`frontend/src/components/tooltips/use[ToolName]Tips.ts`):
+```typescript
+import { useTranslation } from 'react-i18next';
+import { TooltipContent } from '../../types/tips';
+
+export const use[ToolName]Tips = (): TooltipContent => {
+  const { t } = useTranslation();
+
+  return {
+    header: {
+      title: t("[toolName].tooltip.header.title", "Tool Overview")
+    },
+    tips: [
+      {
+        title: t("[toolName].tooltip.description.title", "What does this tool do?"),
+        description: t("[toolName].tooltip.description.text", "Simple explanation in everyday language that non-technical users can understand."),
+        bullets: [
+          t("[toolName].tooltip.description.bullet1", "Easy-to-understand benefit 1"),
+          t("[toolName].tooltip.description.bullet2", "Easy-to-understand benefit 2")
+        ]
+      }
+      // Add more tip sections as needed
+    ]
+  };
+};
+```
+
+**Add tooltip to your main component:**
+```typescript
+import { use[ToolName]Tips } from "../components/tooltips/use[ToolName]Tips";
+
+const [ToolName] = (props: BaseToolProps) => {
+  const tips = use[ToolName]Tips();
+  
+  // In your steps array:
+  steps: [
+    {
+      title: t("[toolName].steps.settings", "Settings"),
+      tooltip: tips, // Add this line
+      content: <[ToolName]Settings ... />
+    }
+  ]
+```
+
+## 5. Add Translations
+Update translation files. **Important: Only update `en-GB` files** - other languages are handled separately.
+
+**File to update:** `frontend/public/locales/en-GB/translation.json`
+
+**Required Translation Keys**:
+```json
+{
+  "home": {
+    "[toolName]": {
+      "title": "Tool Name",
+      "desc": "Tool description"
+    }
+  },
+  "[toolName]": {
+    "title": "Tool Name",
+    "submit": "Process",
+    "filenamePrefix": "processed",
+    "files": {
+      "placeholder": "Select files to get started"
+    },
+    "steps": {
+      "settings": "Settings"
+    },
+    "options": {
+      "title": "Tool Options",
+      "someOption": "Option Label",
+      "someOption.desc": "Option description",
+      "note": "General information about the tool."
+    },
+    "results": {
+      "title": "Results"
+    },
+    "error": {
+      "failed": "Operation failed"
+    },
+    "tooltip": {
+      "header": {
+        "title": "Tool Overview"
+      },
+      "description": {
+        "title": "What does this tool do?",
+        "text": "Simple explanation in everyday language",
+        "bullet1": "Easy-to-understand benefit 1",
+        "bullet2": "Easy-to-understand benefit 2"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Translation Notes:**
+- **Only update `en-GB/translation.json`** - other locale files are managed separately
+- Use descriptive keys that match your component's `t()` calls
+- Include tooltip translations if you created tooltip hooks
+- Add `options.*` keys if your tool has settings with descriptions
+
+**Tooltip Writing Guidelines:**
+- **Use simple, everyday language** - avoid technical terms like "converts interactive elements" 
+- **Focus on benefits** - explain what the user gains, not how it works internally
+- **Use concrete examples** - "text boxes become regular text" vs "form fields are flattened"
+- **Answer user questions** - "What does this do?", "When should I use this?", "What's this option for?"
+- **Keep descriptions concise** - 1-2 sentences maximum per section
+- **Use bullet points** for multiple benefits or features
+
+## 6. Migration from Thymeleaf
+When migrating existing Thymeleaf templates:
+
+1. **Identify Form Parameters**: Look at the original `<form>` inputs to determine parameter structure
+2. **Extract Translation Keys**: Find `#{key.name}` references and add them to JSON translations (For many tools these translations will already exist but some parts will be missing)
+3. **Map API Endpoint**: Note the `th:action` URL for the operation hook
+4. **Preserve Functionality**: Ensure all original form behaviour is replicated which is applicable to V2 react UI
+
+## 7. Testing Your Tool
+- Verify tool appears in UI with correct icon and description
+- Test with various file sizes and types
+- Confirm translations work
+- Check error handling
+- Test undo functionality
+- Verify results display correctly
+
+## Tool Development Patterns
+
+### Three Tool Patterns:
+
+**Pattern 1: Single-File Tools** (Individual processing)
+- Backend processes one file per API call
+- Set `multiFileEndpoint: false`
+- Examples: Compress, Rotate
+
+**Pattern 2: Multi-File Tools** (Batch processing)
+- Backend accepts `MultipartFile[]` arrays in single API call
+- Set `multiFileEndpoint: true`
+- Examples: Split, Merge, Overlay
+
+**Pattern 3: Complex Tools** (Custom processing)
+- Tools with complex routing logic or non-standard processing
+- Provide `customProcessor` for full control
+- Examples: Convert, OCR

+- **Frontend dev server**: `cd frontend && npm run dev` (requires backend on localhost:8080)
+- **Tech Stack**: Vite + React + TypeScript + Mantine UI + TailwindCSS
+- **Proxy Configuration**: Vite proxies `/api/*` calls to backend (localhost:8080)
+- **Build Process**: DO NOT run build scripts manually - builds are handled by CI/CD pipelines
+- **Package Installation**: DO NOT run npm install commands - package management handled separately
+- **Deployment Options**:
+  - **Desktop App**: `npm run tauri-build` (native desktop application)
+  - **Web Server**: `npm run build` then serve dist/ folder
+  - **Development**: `npm run tauri-dev` for desktop dev mode
+
+#### Multi-Tool Workflow Architecture
+Frontend designed for **stateful document processing**:
+- Users upload PDFs once, then chain tools (split → merge → compress → view)
+- File state and processing results persist across tool switches
+- No file reloading between tools - performance critical for large PDFs (up to 100GB+)
+
+#### FileContext - Central State Management
+**Location**: `src/contexts/FileContext.tsx`
+- **Active files**: Currently loaded PDFs and their variants
+- **Tool navigation**: Current mode (viewer/pageEditor/fileEditor/toolName)
+- **Memory management**: PDF document cleanup, blob URL lifecycle, Web Worker management
+- **IndexedDB persistence**: File storage with thumbnail caching
+- **Preview system**: Tools can preview results (e.g., Split → Viewer → back to Split) without context pollution
+
+**Critical**: All file operations go through FileContext. Don't bypass with direct file handling.
+
+#### Processing Services
+- **enhancedPDFProcessingService**: Background PDF parsing and manipulation
+- **thumbnailGenerationService**: Web Worker-based with main-thread fallback
+- **fileStorage**: IndexedDB with LRU cache management
+
+#### Memory Management Strategy
+**Why manual cleanup exists**: Large PDFs (up to 100GB+) through multiple tools accumulate:
+- PDF.js documents that need explicit .destroy() calls
+- Blob URLs from tool outputs that need revocation
+- Web Workers that need termination
+Without cleanup: browser crashes with memory leaks.
+
+#### Tool Development
+
+**Architecture**: Modular hook-based system with clear separation of concerns:
+
+- **useToolOperation** (`frontend/src/hooks/tools/shared/useToolOperation.ts`): Main orchestrator hook
+  - Coordinates all tool operations with consistent interface
+  - Integrates with FileContext for operation tracking
+  - Handles validation, error handling, and UI state management
+
+- **Supporting Hooks**:
+  - **useToolState**: UI state management (loading, progress, error, files)
+  - **useToolApiCalls**: HTTP requests and file processing
+  - **useToolResources**: Blob URLs, thumbnails, ZIP downloads
+
+- **Utilities**:
+  - **toolErrorHandler**: Standardized error extraction and i18n support
+  - **toolResponseProcessor**: API response handling (single/zip/custom)
+  - **toolOperationTracker**: FileContext integration utilities
+
+**Three Tool Patterns**:
+
+**Pattern 1: Single-File Tools** (Individual processing)
+- Backend processes one file per API call
+- Set `multiFileEndpoint: false`
+- Examples: Compress, Rotate
+```typescript
+return useToolOperation({
+  operationType: 'compress',
+  endpoint: '/api/v1/misc/compress-pdf',
+  buildFormData: (params, file: File) => { /* single file */ },
+  multiFileEndpoint: false,
+});
+```
+
+**Pattern 2: Multi-File Tools** (Batch processing)
+- Backend accepts `MultipartFile[]` arrays in single API call
+- Set `multiFileEndpoint: true`
+- Examples: Split, Merge, Overlay
+```typescript
+return useToolOperation({
+  operationType: 'split',
+  endpoint: '/api/v1/general/split-pages',
+  buildFormData: (params, files: File[]) => { /* all files */ },
+  multiFileEndpoint: true,
+  filePrefix: 'split_',
+});
+```
+
+**Pattern 3: Complex Tools** (Custom processing)
+- Tools with complex routing logic or non-standard processing
+- Provide `customProcessor` for full control
+- Examples: Convert, OCR
+```typescript
+return useToolOperation({
+  operationType: 'convert',
+  customProcessor: async (params, files) => { /* custom logic */ },
+});
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- **No Timeouts**: Operations run until completion (supports 100GB+ files)
+- **Consistent**: All tools follow same pattern and interface
+- **Maintainable**: Single responsibility hooks, easy to test and modify
+- **i18n Ready**: Built-in internationalization support
+- **Type Safe**: Full TypeScript support with generic interfaces
+- **Memory Safe**: Automatic resource cleanup and blob URL management
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+### Project Structure
+- **Backend**: Spring Boot application with Thymeleaf templating
+- **Frontend**: React-based SPA in `/frontend` directory (Thymeleaf templates fully replaced)
+  - **File Storage**: IndexedDB for client-side file persistence and thumbnails
+  - **Internationalization**: JSON-based translations (converted from backend .properties)
+- **PDF Processing**: PDFBox for core PDF operations, LibreOffice for conversions, PDF.js for client-side rendering
+- **Security**: Spring Security with optional authentication (controlled by `DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY`)
+- **Configuration**: YAML-based configuration with environment variable overrides
+
+### Controller Architecture
+- **API Controllers** (`src/main/java/.../controller/api/`): REST endpoints for PDF operations
+  - Organized by function: converters, security, misc, pipeline
+  - Follow pattern: `@RestController` + `@RequestMapping("/api/v1/...")`
+- **Web Controllers** (`src/main/java/.../controller/web/`): Serve Thymeleaf templates
+  - Pattern: `@Controller` + return template names
+
+### Key Components
+- **SPDFApplication.java**: Main application class with desktop UI and browser launching logic
+- **ConfigInitializer**: Handles runtime configuration and settings files
+- **Pipeline System**: Automated PDF processing workflows via `PipelineController`
+- **Security Layer**: Authentication, authorization, and user management (when enabled)
+
+### Component Architecture
+- **React Components**: Located in `frontend/src/components/` and `frontend/src/tools/`
+- **Static Assets**: CSS, JS, and resources in `src/main/resources/static/` (legacy) + `frontend/public/` (modern)
+- **Internationalization**:
+  - Backend: `messages_*.properties` files
+  - Frontend: JSON files in `frontend/public/locales/` (converted from .properties)
+  - Conversion Script: `scripts/convert_properties_to_json.py`
+
+### Configuration Modes
+- **Ultra-lite**: Basic PDF operations only
+- **Standard**: Full feature set
+- **Fat**: Pre-downloaded dependencies for air-gapped environments
+- **Security Mode**: Adds authentication, user management, and enterprise features
+
+### Testing Strategy
+- **Integration Tests**: Cucumber tests in `testing/cucumber/`
+- **Docker Testing**: `test.sh` validates all Docker variants
+- **Manual Testing**: No unit tests currently - relies on UI and API testing
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+1. **Local Development**:
+   - Backend: `./gradlew bootRun` (runs on localhost:8080)
+   - Frontend: `cd frontend && npm run dev` (runs on localhost:5173, proxies to backend)
+2. **Docker Testing**: Use `./test.sh` before submitting PRs
+3. **Code Style**: Spotless enforces Google Java Format automatically
+4. **Translations**:
+   - Backend: Use helper scripts in `/scripts` for multi-language updates
+   - Frontend: Update JSON files in `frontend/public/locales/` or use conversion script
+5. **Documentation**: API docs auto-generated and available at `/swagger-ui/index.html`
+
+## Frontend Architecture Status
+
+- **Core Status**: React SPA architecture complete with multi-tool workflow support
+- **State Management**: FileContext handles all file operations and tool navigation
+- **File Processing**: Production-ready with memory management for large PDF workflows (up to 100GB+)
+- **Tool Integration**: Modular hook architecture with `useToolOperation` orchestrator
+  - Individual hooks: `useToolState`, `useToolApiCalls`, `useToolResources`
+  - Utilities: `toolErrorHandler`, `toolResponseProcessor`, `toolOperationTracker`
+  - Pattern: Each tool creates focused operation hook, UI consumes state/actions
+- **Preview System**: Tool results can be previewed without polluting file context (Split tool example)
+- **Performance**: Web Worker thumbnails, IndexedDB persistence, background processing
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- **Java Version**: Minimum JDK 17, supports and recommends JDK 21
+- **Lombok**: Used extensively - ensure IDE plugin is installed
+- **Desktop Mode**: Set `STIRLING_PDF_DESKTOP_UI=true` for desktop application mode
+- **File Persistence**:
+  - **Backend**: Designed to be stateless - files are processed in memory/temp locations only
+  - **Frontend**: Uses IndexedDB for client-side file storage and caching (with thumbnails)
+- **Security**: When `DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY=false`, security-related classes are excluded from compilation
+- **FileContext**: All file operations MUST go through FileContext - never bypass with direct File handling
+- **Memory Management**: Manual cleanup required for PDF.js documents and blob URLs - don't remove cleanup code
+- **Tool Development**: New tools should follow `useToolOperation` hook pattern (see `useCompressOperation.ts`)
+- **Performance Target**: Must handle PDFs up to 100GB+ without browser crashes
+- **Preview System**: Tools can preview results without polluting main file context (see Split tool implementation)
+- **Adding Tools**: See `ADDING_TOOLS.md` for complete guide to creating new PDF tools
+
+## Communication Style
+- Be direct and to the point
+- No apologies or conversational filler
+- Answer questions directly without preamble
+- Explain reasoning concisely when asked
+- Avoid unnecessary elaboration
+
+## Decision Making
+- Ask clarifying questions before making assumptions
+- Stop and ask when uncertain about project-specific details
+- Confirm approach before making structural changes
+- Request guidance on preferences (cross-platform vs specific tools, etc.)
+- Verify understanding of requirements before proceeding

+# New Database Backup and Import Functionality
+
+## Functionality Overview
+
+The newly introduced feature enhances the application with robust database backup and import capabilities. This feature is designed to ensure data integrity and provide a straightforward way to manage database backups. Here's how it works:
+
+1. Automatic Backup Creation
+   - The system automatically creates a database backup every day at midnight. This ensures that there is always a recent backup available, minimizing the risk of data loss.
+2. Manual Backup Export
+   - Admin actions that modify the user database trigger a manual export of the database. This keeps the backup up-to-date with the latest changes and provides an extra layer of data security.
+3. Importing Database Backups
+   - Admin users can import a database backup either via the web interface or API endpoints. This allows for easy restoration of the database to a previous state in case of data corruption or other issues.
+   - The import process ensures that the database structure and data are correctly restored, maintaining the integrity of the application.
+4. Managing Backup Files
+   - Admins can view a list of all existing backup files, along with their creation dates and sizes. This helps in managing storage and identifying the most recent or relevant backups.
+   - Backup files can be downloaded for offline storage or transferred to other environments, providing flexibility in database management.
+   - Unnecessary backup files can be deleted through the interface to free up storage space and maintain an organized backup directory.
+
+## User Interface
+
+### Web Interface
+
+1. Upload SQL files to import database backups.
+2. View details of existing backups, such as file names, creation dates, and sizes.
+3. Download backup files for offline storage.
+4. Delete outdated or unnecessary backup files.
+
+### API Endpoints
+
+1. Import database backups by uploading SQL files.
+2. Download backup files.
+3. Delete backup files.
+
+This new functionality streamlines database management, ensuring that backups are always available and easy to manage, thus improving the reliability and resilience of the application.

+# Stirling-PDF Developer Guide
+
+## 1. Introduction
+
+Stirling-PDF is a robust, locally hosted, web-based PDF manipulation tool. **Stirling 2.0** represents a complete frontend rewrite, replacing the legacy Thymeleaf-based UI with a modern React SPA (Single Page Application).
+
+This guide focuses on developing for Stirling 2.0, including both the React frontend and Spring Boot backend development workflows.
+
+## 2. Project Overview
+
+**Stirling 2.0** is built using:
+
+**Backend:**
+- Spring Boot (Java 17+, JDK 21 recommended)
+- PDFBox for core PDF operations
+- LibreOffice for document conversions
+- qpdf for PDF optimization
+- Spring Security (optional, controlled by `DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY`)
+- Lombok for reducing boilerplate code
+
+**Frontend (React SPA):**
+- React + TypeScript
+- Vite for build tooling and development server
+- Mantine UI component library
+- TailwindCSS for styling
+- PDF.js for client-side PDF rendering
+- PDF-LIB.js for client-side PDF manipulation
+- IndexedDB for client-side file storage and thumbnails
+- i18next for internationalization
+
+**Infrastructure:**
+- Docker for containerization
+- Gradle for build management
+
+**Legacy (reference only during development):**
+- Thymeleaf templates (being completely replaced in 2.0)
+
+## 3. Development Environment Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Docker
+- Git
+- Java JDK 17 or later (JDK 21 recommended)
+- Node.js 18+ and npm (required for frontend development)
+- Gradle 7.0 or later (Included within the repo)
+
+### Setup Steps
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF.git
+   cd Stirling-PDF
+   ```
+
+2. Install Docker and JDK17 if not already installed.
+
+3. Install a recommended Java IDE such as Eclipse, IntelliJ, or VSCode
+   1. Only VSCode
+      1. Open VS Code.
+      2. When prompted, install the recommended extensions.
+      3. Alternatively, open the command palette (`Ctrl + Shift + P` or `Cmd + Shift + P` on macOS) and run:
+
+        ```sh
+        Extensions: Show Recommended Extensions
+        ```
+
+      4. Install the required extensions from the list.
+
+4. Lombok Setup
+Stirling-PDF uses Lombok to reduce boilerplate code. Some IDEs, like Eclipse, don't support Lombok out of the box. To set up Lombok in your development environment:
+Visit the [Lombok website](https://projectlombok.org/setup/) for installation instructions specific to your IDE.
+
+5. Add environment variable
+For local testing, you should generally be testing the full 'Security' version of Stirling PDF. To do this, you must add the environment flag DISABLE_ADDITIONAL_FEATURES=false to your system and/or IDE build/run step.
+5. **Frontend Setup (Required for Stirling 2.0)**
+   Navigate to the frontend directory and install dependencies using npm.
+
+## 4. Stirling 2.0 Development Workflow
+
+### Frontend Development (React)
+The frontend is a React SPA that runs independently during development:
+
+1. **Start the backend**: Run the Spring Boot application (serves API endpoints on localhost:8080)
+2. **Start the frontend dev server**: Navigate to the frontend directory and run the development server (serves UI on localhost:5173)
+3. **Development flow**: The Vite dev server automatically proxies API calls to the backend
+
+### File Storage Architecture
+Stirling 2.0 uses client-side file storage:
+- **IndexedDB**: Stores files locally in the browser with automatic thumbnail generation
+- **PDF.js**: Handles client-side PDF rendering and processing
+- **URL Parameters**: Support for deep linking and tool state persistence
+
+### Legacy Code Reference
+The existing Thymeleaf templates remain in the codebase during development as reference material but will be completely removed for the 2.0 release.

+
+## 6. Docker-based Development
+
+Stirling-PDF offers several Docker versions:
+
+- Full: All features included
+- Ultra-Lite: Basic PDF operations only
+- Fat: Includes additional libraries and fonts predownloaded
+
+### Example Docker Compose Files
+
+Stirling-PDF provides several example Docker Compose files in the `exampleYmlFiles` directory, such as:
+
+- `docker-compose-latest.yml`: Latest version without login and security features
+- `docker-compose-latest-security.yml`: Latest version with login and security features enabled
+- `docker-compose-latest-fat-security.yml`: Fat version with login and security features enabled
+
+These files provide pre-configured setups for different scenarios. For example, here's a snippet from `docker-compose-latest-security.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  stirling-pdf:
+    container_name: Stirling-PDF-Security
+    image: docker.stirlingpdf.com/stirlingtools/stirling-pdf:latest
+    deploy:
+      resources:
+        limits:
+          memory: 4G
+    healthcheck:
+      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "curl -f http://localhost:8080/api/v1/info/status | grep -q 'UP' && curl -fL http://localhost:8080/ | grep -q 'Please sign in'"]
+      interval: 5s
+      timeout: 10s
+      retries: 16
+    ports:
+      - "8080:8080"
+    volumes:
+      - ./stirling/latest/data:/usr/share/tessdata:rw
+      - ./stirling/latest/config:/configs:rw
+      - ./stirling/latest/logs:/logs:rw
+    environment:
+      DISABLE_ADDITIONAL_FEATURES: "false"
+      SECURITY_ENABLELOGIN: "true"
+      PUID: 1002
+      PGID: 1002
+      UMASK: "022"
+      SYSTEM_DEFAULTLOCALE: en-US
+      UI_APPNAME: Stirling-PDF
+      UI_HOMEDESCRIPTION: Demo site for Stirling-PDF Latest with Security
+      UI_APPNAMENAVBAR: Stirling-PDF Latest
+      SYSTEM_MAXFILESIZE: "100"
+      METRICS_ENABLED: "true"
+      SYSTEM_GOOGLEVISIBILITY: "true"
+      SHOW_SURVEY: "true"
+    restart: on-failure:5
+```
+
+To use these example files, copy the desired file to your project root and rename it to `docker-compose.yml`, or specify the file explicitly when running Docker Compose:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose -f exampleYmlFiles/docker-compose-latest-security.yml up
+```
+
+### Building Docker Images
+
+Stirling-PDF uses different Docker images for various configurations. The build process is controlled by environment variables and uses specific Dockerfile variants. Here's how to build the Docker images:
+
+1. Set the security environment variable:
+
+   ```bash
+   export DISABLE_ADDITIONAL_FEATURES=true  # or false for to enable login and security features for builds
+   ```
+
+2. Build the project with Gradle:
+
+   ```bash
+   ./gradlew clean build
+   ```
+
+3. Build the Docker images:
+
+   For the latest version:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker build --no-cache --pull --build-arg VERSION_TAG=alpha -t stirlingtools/stirling-pdf:latest -f ./Dockerfile .
+   ```
+
+   For the ultra-lite version:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker build --no-cache --pull --build-arg VERSION_TAG=alpha -t stirlingtools/stirling-pdf:latest-ultra-lite -f ./Dockerfile.ultra-lite .
+   ```
+
+   For the fat version (with login and security features enabled):
+
+   ```bash
+   export DISABLE_ADDITIONAL_FEATURES=false
+   docker build --no-cache --pull --build-arg VERSION_TAG=alpha -t stirlingtools/stirling-pdf:latest-fat -f ./Dockerfile.fat .
+   ```
+
+Note: The `--no-cache` and `--pull` flags ensure that the build process uses the latest base images and doesn't use cached layers, which is useful for testing and ensuring reproducible builds. however to improve build times these can often be removed depending on your usecase
+
+## 7. Testing
+
+### Comprehensive Testing Script
+
+Stirling-PDF provides a `test.sh` script in the root directory. This script builds all versions of Stirling-PDF, checks that each version works, and runs Cucumber tests. It's recommended to run this script before submitting a final pull request.
+
+To run the test script:
+
+```bash
+./test.sh
+```
+
+This script performs the following actions:
+
+1. Builds all Docker images (full, ultra-lite, fat).
+2. Runs each version to ensure it starts correctly.
+3. Executes Cucumber tests against the main version and ensures feature compatibility. In the event these tests fail, your PR will not be merged.
+
+Note: The `test.sh` script will run automatically when you raise a PR. However, it's recommended to run it locally first to save resources and catch any issues early.
+
+### Full Testing with Docker
+
+1. Build and run the Docker container per the above instructions:
+
+2. Access the application at `http://localhost:8080` and manually test all features developed.
+
+### Frontend Development Testing (Stirling 2.0)
+
+For React frontend development:
+
+1. Start the backend: Run the Spring Boot application to serve API endpoints on localhost:8080
+2. Start the frontend dev server: Navigate to the frontend directory and run the development server on localhost:5173
+3. The Vite dev server automatically proxies API calls to the backend
+4. Test React components, UI interactions, and IndexedDB file operations using browser developer tools
+
+### Local Testing (Java and UI Components)
+
+For quick iterations and development of Java backend, JavaScript, and UI components, you can run and test Stirling-PDF locally without Docker. This approach allows you to work on and verify changes to:
+
+- Java backend logic
+- RESTful API endpoints
+- JavaScript functionality
+- User interface components and styling
+- Thymeleaf templates
+
+To run Stirling-PDF locally:
+
+1. Compile and run the project using built-in IDE methods or by running:
+
+   ```bash
+   ./gradlew bootRun
+   ```
+
+2. Access the application at `http://localhost:8080` in your web browser.
+
+3. Manually test the features you're working on through the UI.
+
+4. For API changes, use tools like Postman or curl to test endpoints directly.
+
+Important notes:
+
+- Local testing doesn't include features that depend on external tools like qpdf, LibreOffice, or Python scripts.
+- There are currently no automated unit tests. All testing is done manually through the UI or API calls. (You are welcome to add JUnits!)
+- Always verify your changes in the full Docker environment before submitting pull requests, as some integrations and features will only work in the complete setup.
+
+## 8. Contributing

+
+### React Component Development (Stirling 2.0)
+
+For Stirling 2.0, new features are built as React components instead of Thymeleaf templates:
+
+#### Creating a New Tool Component
+
+1. **Create the React Component:**
+   ```typescript
+   // frontend/src/tools/NewTool.tsx
+   import { useState } from 'react';
+   import { Button, FileInput, Container } from '@mantine/core';
+   
+   interface NewToolProps {
+     params: Record<string, any>;
+     updateParams: (updates: Record<string, any>) => void;
+   }
+   
+   export default function NewTool({ params, updateParams }: NewToolProps) {
+     const [files, setFiles] = useState<File[]>([]);
+     
+     const handleProcess = async () => {
+       // Process files using API or client-side logic
+     };
+     
+     return (
+       <Container>
+         <FileInput 
+           multiple 
+           accept="application/pdf"
+           onChange={setFiles}
+         />
+         <Button onClick={handleProcess}>Process</Button>
+       </Container>
+     );
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Add API Integration:**
+   ```typescript
+   // Use existing API endpoints or create new ones
+   const response = await fetch('/api/v1/new-tool', {
+     method: 'POST',
+     body: formData
+   });
+   ```
+
+3. **Register in Tool Picker:**
+   Update the tool picker component to include the new tool with proper routing and URL parameter support.
+
+### Legacy Reference: Overview of Thymeleaf
+
+Thymeleaf is a server-side Java HTML template engine. It is used in Stirling-PDF to render dynamic web pages. Thymeleaf integrates heavily with Spring Boot.
+
+### Thymeleaf overview
+
+In Stirling-PDF, Thymeleaf is used to create HTML templates that are rendered on the server side. These templates are located in the `stirling-pdf/src/main/resources/templates` directory. Thymeleaf templates use a combination of HTML and special Thymeleaf attributes to dynamically generate content.
+
+Some examples of this are:
+
+```html
+<th:block th:insert="~{fragments/navbar.html :: navbar}"></th:block>
+```
+or
+```html
+<th:block th:insert="~{fragments/footer.html :: footer}"></th:block>
+```
+
+Where it uses the `th:block`, `th:` indicating it's a special Thymeleaf element to be used server-side in generating the HTML, and block being the actual element type.
+In this case, we are inserting the `navbar` entry within the `fragments/navbar.html` fragment into the `th:block` element.
+
+They can be more complex, such as:
+
+```html
+<th:block th:insert="~{fragments/common :: head(title=#{pageExtracter.title}, header=#{pageExtracter.header})}"></th:block>
+```
+
+Which is the same as above but passes the parameters title and header into the fragment `common.html` to be used in its HTML generation.
+
+Thymeleaf can also be used to loop through objects or pass things from the Java side into the HTML side.
+
+```java
+ @GetMapping
+       public String newFeaturePage(Model model) {
+           model.addAttribute("exampleData", exampleData);
+           return "new-feature";
+       }
+```
+
+In the above example, if exampleData is a list of plain java objects of class Person and within it, you had id, name, age, etc. You can reference it like so
+
+```html
+<tbody>
+   <!-- Use th:each to iterate over the list -->
+   <tr th:each="person : ${exampleData}">
+       <td th:text="${person.id}"></td>
+       <td th:text="${person.name}"></td>
+       <td th:text="${person.age}"></td>
+       <td th:text="${person.email}"></td>
+   </tr>
+</tbody>
+```
+
+This would generate n entries of tr for each person in exampleData
+
+### Adding a New Feature to the Backend (API)
+
+1. **Create a New Controller:**
+   - Create a new Java class in the `stirling-pdf/src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/controller/api` directory.
+   - Annotate the class with `@RestController` and `@RequestMapping` to define the API endpoint.
+   - Ensure to add API documentation annotations like `@Tag(name = "General", description = "General APIs")` and `@Operation(summary = "Crops a PDF document", description = "This operation takes an input PDF file and crops it according to the given coordinates. Input:PDF Output:PDF Type:SISO")`.
+
+   ```java
+   package stirling.software.SPDF.controller.api;
+
+   import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
+   import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
+   import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
+   import io.swagger.v3.oas.annotations.Operation;
+   import io.swagger.v3.oas.annotations.tags.Tag;
+
+   @RestController
+   @RequestMapping("/api/v1/new-feature")
+   @Tag(name = "General", description = "General APIs")
+   public class NewFeatureController {
+
+       @GetMapping
+       @Operation(summary = "New Feature", description = "This is a new feature endpoint.")
+       public String newFeature() {
+           return "NewFeatureResponse"; // This refers to the NewFeatureResponse.html template presenting the user with the generated html from that file when they navigate to /api/v1/new-feature
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Define the Service Layer:** (Not required but often useful)
+   - Create a new service class in the `stirling-pdf/src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/service` directory.
+   - Implement the business logic for the new feature.
+
+   ```java
+   package stirling.software.SPDF.service;
+
+   import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
+
+   @Service
+   public class NewFeatureService {
+
+       public String getNewFeatureData() {
+           // Implement business logic here
+           return "New Feature Data";
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+2b. **Integrate the Service with the Controller:**
+
+- Autowire the service class in the controller and use it to handle the API request.
+
+  ```java
+  package stirling.software.SPDF.controller.api;
+
+  import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
+  import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
+  import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
+  import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
+  import stirling.software.SPDF.service.NewFeatureService;
+  import io.swagger.v3.oas.annotations.Operation;
+  import io.swagger.v3.oas.annotations.tags.Tag;
+
+  @RestController
+  @RequestMapping("/api/v1/new-feature")
+  @Tag(name = "General", description = "General APIs")
+  public class NewFeatureController {
+
+      @Autowired
+      private NewFeatureService newFeatureService;
+
+      @GetMapping
+      @Operation(summary = "New Feature", description = "This is a new feature endpoint.")
+      public String newFeature() {
+          return newFeatureService.getNewFeatureData();
+      }
+  }
+  ```
+
+### Adding a New Feature to the Frontend (UI)
+
+1. **Create a New Thymeleaf Template:**
+   - Create a new HTML file in the `stirling-pdf/src/main/resources/templates` directory.
+   - Use Thymeleaf attributes to dynamically generate content.
+   - Use `extract-page.html` as a base example for the HTML template, which is useful to ensure importing of the general layout, navbar, and footer.
+
+   ```html
+   <!DOCTYPE html>
+   <html th:lang="${#locale.language}" th:dir="#{language.direction}" th:data-language="${#locale.toString()}" xmlns:th="https://www.thymeleaf.org">
+     <head>
+     <th:block th:insert="~{fragments/common :: head(title=#{newFeature.title}, header=#{newFeature.header})}"></th:block>
+     </head>
+
+     <body>
+       <div id="page-container">
+         <div id="content-wrap">
+           <th:block th:insert="~{fragments/navbar.html :: navbar}"></th:block>
+           <br><br>
+           <div class="container">
+             <div class="row justify-content-center">
+               <div class="col-md-6 bg-card">
+                 <div class="tool-header">
+                   <span class="material-symbols-rounded tool-header-icon organize">upload</span>
+                   <span class="tool-header-text" th:text="#{newFeature.header}"></span>
+                 </div>
+                 <form th:action="@{'/api/v1/new-feature'}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
+                   <div th:replace="~{fragments/common :: fileSelector(name='fileInput', multipleInputsForSingleRequest=false, accept='application/pdf')}"></div>
+                   <input type="hidden" id="customMode" name="customMode" value="">
+                   <div class="mb-3">
+                     <label for="featureInput" th:text="#{newFeature.prompt}"></label>
+                     <input type="text" class="form-control" id="featureInput" name="featureInput" th:placeholder="#{newFeature.placeholder}" required>
+                   </div>
+
+                   <button type="submit" id="submitBtn" class="btn btn-primary" th:text="#{newFeature.submit}"></button>
+                 </form>
+               </div>
+             </div>
+           </div>
+         </div>
+         <th:block th:insert="~{fragments/footer.html :: footer}"></th:block>
+       </div>
+     </body>
+   </html>
+   ```
+
+2. **Create a New Controller for the UI:**
+   - Create a new Java class in the `stirling-pdf/src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/controller/ui` directory.
+   - Annotate the class with `@Controller` and `@RequestMapping` to define the UI endpoint.
+
+   ```java
+   package stirling.software.SPDF.controller.ui;
+
+   import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
+   import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
+   import org.springframework.ui.Model;
+   import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
+   import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
+   import stirling.software.SPDF.service.NewFeatureService;
+
+   @Controller
+   @RequestMapping("/new-feature")
+   public class NewFeatureUIController {
+
+       @Autowired
+       private NewFeatureService newFeatureService;
+
+       @GetMapping
+       public String newFeaturePage(Model model) {
+           model.addAttribute("newFeatureData", newFeatureService.getNewFeatureData());
+           return "new-feature";
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Update the Navigation Bar:**
+   - Add a link to the new feature page in the navigation bar.
+   - Update the `stirling-pdf/src/main/resources/templates/fragments/navbar.html` file.
+
+   ```html
+   <li class="nav-item">
+       <a class="nav-link" th:href="@{'/new-feature'}">New Feature</a>
+   </li>
+   ```
+
+## Adding New Translations to Existing Language Files in Stirling-PDF
+
+When adding a new feature or modifying existing ones in Stirling-PDF, you'll need to add new translation entries to the existing language files. Here's a step-by-step guide:
+
+### 1. Locate Existing Language Files
+
+Find the existing `messages.properties` files in the `stirling-pdf/src/main/resources` directory. You'll see files like:
+
+- `messages.properties` (default, usually English)
+- `messages_en_GB.properties`
+- `messages_fr_FR.properties`
+- `messages_de_DE.properties`
+- etc.
+
+### 2. Add New Translation Entries
+
+Open each of these files and add your new translation entries. For example, if you're adding a new feature called "PDF Splitter",
+Use descriptive, hierarchical keys (e.g., `feature.element.description`)
+you might add:
+
+```properties
+pdfSplitter.title=PDF Splitter
+pdfSplitter.description=Split your PDF into multiple documents
+pdfSplitter.button.split=Split PDF
+pdfSplitter.input.pages=Enter page numbers to split
+```
+
+Add these entries to the default GB language file and any others you wish, translating the values as appropriate for each language.
+
+### 3. Use Translations in Thymeleaf Templates
+
+In your Thymeleaf templates, use the `#{key}` syntax to reference the new translations:
+
+```html
+<h1 th:text="#{pdfSplitter.title}">PDF Splitter</h1>
+<p th:text="#{pdfSplitter.description}">Split your PDF into multiple documents</p>
+<input type="text" th:placeholder="#{pdfSplitter.input.pages}">
+<button th:text="#{pdfSplitter.button.split}">Split PDF</button>
+```
+
+Remember, never hard-code text in your templates or Java code. Always use translation keys to ensure proper localization.

-# How to add new languages to Stirling-PDF
-
-Fork Stirling-PDF and make a new branch out of Main
-
-Then add reference to the language in the navbar by adding a new language entry to the dropdown
-
-https://github.com/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/src/main/resources/templates/fragments/languages.html
-and add a flag svg file to 
-https://github.com/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF/tree/main/src/main/resources/static/images/flags
-Any SVG flags are fine, i got most of mine from [here](https://flagicons.lipis.dev/)
-If your language isnt represented by a flag just find whichever closely matches it, such as for Arabic i chose Saudi Arabia
-
-
-For example to add Polish you would add 
-```
-<a class="dropdown-item lang_dropdown-item" href="" data-language-code="pl_PL">
-    <img src="images/flags/pl.svg" alt="icon" width="20" height="15"> Polski
-</a>
-```
-The data-language-code is the code used to reference the file in the next step.
-
-Start by copying the existing english property file 
-
-[https://github.com/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/src/main/resources/messages_en_GB.properties](https://github.com/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/src/main/resources/messages_en_GB.properties)
-
-Copy and rename it to messages_{your data-language-code here}.properties, in the polish example you would set the name to messages_pl_PL.properties
-
-
-Then simply translate all property entries within that file and make a PR into main for others to use!
-
-If you do not have a java IDE i am happy to verify the changes worked once you raise PR (but wont be able to verify the translations themselves)

 This document provides instructions on how to add additional language packs for the OCR tab in Stirling-PDF, both inside and outside of Docker.
 
+## My OCR used to work and now doesn't!
+
+The paths have changed for the tessdata locations on new Docker images. Please use `/usr/share/tessdata` (Others should still work for backward compatibility but might not).
+
 ## How does the OCR Work
-Stirling-PDF uses [OCRmyPDF](https://github.com/ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDF) which in turn uses tesseract for its text recognition.

 ## Language Packs
 
 Tesseract OCR supports a variety of languages. You can find additional language packs in the Tesseract GitHub repositories:
 
-- [tessdata_fast](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_fast): These language packs are smaller and faster to load, but may provide lower recognition accuracy.
+- [tessdata_fast](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata_fast): These language packs are smaller and faster to load but may provide lower recognition accuracy.
 - [tessdata](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata): These language packs are larger and provide better recognition accuracy, but may take longer to load.
 
-Depending on your requirements, you can choose the appropriate language pack for your use case. By default Stirling-PDF uses the tessdata_fast eng but this can be replaced.

-free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
-
-  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
-these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
-certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
-you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
-
-  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
-freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
-or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
-know their rights.
-
-  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
-(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
-giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
-
-  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
-that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
-authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
-changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
-authors of previous versions.
-
-  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
-modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
-can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
-protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
-pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
-use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
-have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
-products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
-stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
-of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
-
-  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
-States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
-software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
-avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
-make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
-patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
-
-  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.
-
-                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-  0. Definitions.
-
-  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
-
-  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
-works, such as semiconductor masks.
-
-  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
-License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
-"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
-
-  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
-in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
-exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
-earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
-
-  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
-on the Program.
-
-  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
-permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
-infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
-computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
-distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
-public, and in some countries other activities as well.
-
-  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
-parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
-a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
-
-  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
-to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
-feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
-tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
-extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
-work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
-the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
-menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
-
-  1. Source Code.
-
-  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
-for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
-form of a work.
-
-  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
-standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
-interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
-is widely used among developers working in that language.
-
-  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
-than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
-packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
-Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
-Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
-implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
-"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
-(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
-(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
-produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
-
-  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
-the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
-work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
-control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
-System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
-programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
-which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
-includes interface definition files associated with source files for
-the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
-linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
-such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
-subprograms and other parts of the work.
-
-  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
-can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
-Source.
-
-  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
-same work.
-
-  2. Basic Permissions.
-
-  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
-copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
-conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
-permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
-covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
-content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
-rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
-
-  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
-convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
-in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
-of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
-with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
-the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
-not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
-for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
-and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
-your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
-
-  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
-the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
-makes it unnecessary.
-
-  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
-
-  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
-measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
-11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
-similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
-measures.
-
-  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
-circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
-is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
-the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
-modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
-users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
-technological measures.
-
-  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
-
-  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
-receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
-appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
-keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
-non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
-keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
-recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
-
-  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
-and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
-
-  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
-
-  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
-produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
-terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
-    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
-    it, and giving a relevant date.
-
-    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
-    released under this License and any conditions added under section
-    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
-    "keep intact all notices".
-
-    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
-    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
-    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
-    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
-    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
-    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
-    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
-
-    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
-    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
-    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
-    work need not make them do so.
-
-  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
-works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
-and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
-in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
-"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
-used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
-beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
-in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
-parts of the aggregate.
-
-  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
-
-  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
-of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
-machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
-in one of these ways:
-
-    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
-    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
-    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
-    customarily used for software interchange.
-
-    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
-    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
-    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
-    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
-    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
-    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
-    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
-    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
-    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
-    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
-    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
-
-    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
-    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
-    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
-    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
-    with subsection 6b.
-
-    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
-    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
-    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
-    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
-    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
-    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
-    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
-    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
-    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
-    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
-    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
-    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
-
-    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
-    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
-    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
-    charge under subsection 6d.
-
-  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
-from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
-included in conveying the object code work.
-
-  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
-tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
-or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
-into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
-doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
-product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
-typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
-of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
-actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
-is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
-commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
-the only significant mode of use of the product.
-
-  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
-procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
-and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
-a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
-suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
-code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
-modification has been made.
-
-  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
-specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
-part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
-User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
-fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
-Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
-by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
-if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
-modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
-been installed in ROM).
-
-  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
-requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
-for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
-the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
-network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
-adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
-protocols for communication across the network.
-
-  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
-in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
-documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
-source code form), and must require no special password or key for
-unpacking, reading or copying.
-
-  7. Additional Terms.
-
-  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
-License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
-Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
-be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
-that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
-apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
-under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
-this License without regard to the additional permissions.
-
-  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
-remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
-it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
-removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
-additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
-for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
-
-  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
-add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
-that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
-
-    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
-    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
-
-    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
-    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
-    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
-
-    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
-    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
-    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
-
-    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
-    authors of the material; or
-
-    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
-    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
-
-    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
-    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
-    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
-    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
-    those licensors and authors.
-
-  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
-restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
-received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
-governed by this License along with a term that is a further
-restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
-a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
-License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
-of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
-not survive such relicensing or conveying.
-
-  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
-must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
-additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
-where to find the applicable terms.
-
-  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
-form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
-the above requirements apply either way.
-
-  8. Termination.
-
-  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
-provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
-modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
-this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
-paragraph of section 11).
-
-  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
-license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
-provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
-finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
-holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
-prior to 60 days after the cessation.
-
-  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
-reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
-violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
-received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
-copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
-your receipt of the notice.
-
-  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
-licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
-this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
-reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
-material under section 10.
-
-  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
-
-  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
-run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
-occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
-to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
-nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
-modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
-not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
-covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
-
-  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
-
-  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
-receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
-propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
-for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
-
-  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
-organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
-organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
-work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
-transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
-licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
-give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
-Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
-the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
-
-  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
-rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
-not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
-rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
-(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
-any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
-sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
-
-  11. Patents.
-
-  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
-License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
-work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
-
-  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
-owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
-hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
-by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
-but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
-consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
-purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
-patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
-this License.
-
-  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
-patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
-make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
-propagate the contents of its contributor version.
-
-  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
-agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
-(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
-sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
-party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
-patent against the party.
-
-  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
-and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
-to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
-publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
-then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
-available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
-patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
-consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
-license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
-actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
-covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
-in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
-country that you have reason to believe are valid.
-
-  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
-arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
-covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
-receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
-or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
-you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
-work and works based on it.
-
-  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
-the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
-conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
-specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
-work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
-in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
-to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
-the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
-parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
-patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
-conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
-for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
-contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
-or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
-
-  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
-any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
-otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
-
-  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
-
-  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
-covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
-License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
-not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
-to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
-the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
-License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
-
-  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
-
-  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
-permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
-under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
-combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
-License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
-but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
-section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
-combination as such.
-
-  14. Revised Versions of this License.
-
-  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
-the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
-be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
-address new problems or concerns.
-
-  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
-Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
-Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
-option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
-version or of any later version published by the Free Software
-Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
-GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
-by the Free Software Foundation.
-
-  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
-versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
-public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
-to choose that version for the Program.
-
-  Later license versions may give you additional or different
-permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
-author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
-later version.
-
-  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
-
-  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
-APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
-HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
-OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
-THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
-PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
-IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
-ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
-  16. Limitation of Liability.
-
-  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
-WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
-THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
-GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
-USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
-DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
-PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
-EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
-SUCH DAMAGES.
-
-  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
-
-  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
-above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
-reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
-an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
-Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
-copy of the Program in return for a fee.
-
-                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-
-  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
-
-  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
-to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
-state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
-the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
-
-    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

-    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
-    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
-
-The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
-parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
-might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
-
-  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
-if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.

-
-To run the application without Docker, you will need to manually install all dependencies and build the necessary components.
-
-Note that some dependencies might not be available in the standard repositories of all Linux distributions, and may require additional steps to install.
-
-The following guide assumes you have a basic understanding of using a command line interface in your operating system.
-
-It should work on most Linux distributions and MacOS. For Windows, you might need to use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) for certain steps.
-The amount of dependencies is to actually reduce overall size, ie installing LibreOffice sub components rather than full LibreOffice package.
-
-### Step 1: Prerequisites
-
-Install the following software, if not already installed:
-
-- Java 17 or later
-
-- Gradle 7.0 or later (included within repo so not needed on server)
-
-- Git
-
-- Python 3 (with pip)
-
-- Make
-
-- GCC/G++
-
-- Automake
-
-- Autoconf
-
-- libtool
-
-- pkg-config
-
-- zlib1g-dev
-
-- libleptonica-dev
-
-For Debian-based systems, you can use the following command:
-
-```bash
-sudo apt-get update
-sudo apt-get install -y git  automake  autoconf  libtool  libleptonica-dev  pkg-config zlib1g-dev make g++ java-17-openjdk python3 python3-pip
-```
-
-For Fedora-based systems use this command: 
-
-```bash
-sudo dnf install -y git automake autoconf libtool leptonica-devel pkg-config zlib-devel make gcc-c++ java-17-openjdk python3 python3-pip
-```
-
-### Step 2: Clone and Build jbig2enc (Only required for certain OCR functionality)
-
-```bash
-mkdir ~/.git
-cd ~/.git &&\
-git clone https://github.com/agl/jbig2enc.git &&\
-cd jbig2enc &&\
-./autogen.sh &&\
-./configure &&\
-make &&\
-sudo make install
-```
-
-### Step 3: Install Additional Software
-Next we need to install LibreOffice for conversions, ocrmypdf for OCR, and opencv for patern recognition functionality.
-
-Install the following software:
-
-- libreoffice-core
-
-- libreoffice-common
-
-- libreoffice-writer
-
-- libreoffice-calc
-
-- libreoffice-impress
-
-- python3-uno
-
-- unoconv
-
-- pngquant
-
-- unpaper
-
-- ocrmypdf
-
-- opencv-python-headless
-
-For Debian-based systems, you can use the following command:
-
-```bash
-sudo apt-get install -y libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc libreoffice-impress unpaper ocrmypdf
-pip3 install uno opencv-python-headless unoconv pngquant 
-```
-
-For Fedora:
-
-```bash
-sudo dnf install -y libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc libreoffice-impress unpaper ocrmypdf
-pip3 install uno opencv-python-headless unoconv pngquant 
-```
-
-### Step 4: Clone and Build Stirling-PDF
-
-```bash
-cd ~/.git &&\
-git clone https://github.com/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF.git &&\
-cd Stirling-PDF &&\
-chmod +x ./gradlew &&\
-./gradlew build
-```
-
-
-### Step 5: Move jar to desired location
-
-After the build process, a `.jar` file will be generated in the `build/libs` directory.
-You can move this file to a desired location, for example, `/opt/Stirling-PDF/`.
-You must also move the Script folder within the Stirling-PDF repo that you have downloaded to this directory.
-This folder is required for the python scripts using OpenCV
-
-```bash
-sudo mkdir /opt/Stirling-PDF &&\
-sudo mv ./build/libs/Stirling-PDF-*.jar /opt/Stirling-PDF/ &&\
-sudo mv scripts /opt/Stirling-PDF/ &&\
-echo "Scripts installed."
-```
-### Step 6: Other files
-#### OCR
-If you plan to use the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) functionality, you might need to install language packs for Tesseract if running non-english scanning.
-
-##### Installing Language Packs
-Easiest is to use the langpacks provided by your repositories. Skip the other steps
-
-Manual:
-
-1. Download the desired language pack(s) by selecting the `.traineddata` file(s) for the language(s) you need.
-2. Place the `.traineddata` files in the Tesseract tessdata directory: `/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/4.00/tessdata`
-3. 
-Please view  [OCRmyPDF install guide](https://ocrmypdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html) for more info.
-**IMPORTANT:** DO NOT REMOVE EXISTING `eng.traineddata`, IT'S REQUIRED.
-
-Debian based systems, install languages with this command:
-
-```bash
-sudo apt update &&\
-# All languages
-# sudo apt install -y 'tesseract-ocr-*'
-
-# Find languages:
-apt search tesseract-ocr-
-
-# View installed languages:
-dpkg-query -W tesseract-ocr- | sed 's/tesseract-ocr-//g'
-```
-
-Fedora:
-
-```bash
-# All languages
-# sudo dnf install -y tesseract-langpack-*
-
-# Find languages:
-dnf search -C tesseract-langpack-
-
-# View installed languages:
-rpm -qa | grep tesseract-langpack | sed 's/tesseract-langpack-//g'
-```
-
-### Step 7: Run Stirling-PDF
-
-```bash
-./gradlew bootRun
-or
-java -jar build/libs/app.jar
-```
-
-### Step 8: Adding a Desktop icon
-
-This will add a modified Appstarter to your Appmenu.
-```bash
-location=$(pwd)/gradlew
-image=$(pwd)/docs/stirling-transparent.svg
-
-cat > ~/.local/share/applications/Stirling-PDF.desktop <<EOF
-[Desktop Entry]
-Name=Stirling PDF;
-GenericName=Launch StirlingPDF and open its WebGUI;
-Category=Office;
-Exec=xdg-open http://localhost:8080 && nohup $location bootRun &;
-Icon=$image;
-Keywords=pdf;
-Type=Application;
-NoDisplay=false;
-Terminal=true;
-EOF
-```
-
-Note: Currently the app will run in the background until manually closed.
-
----
-
-Remember to set the necessary environment variables before running the project if you want to customize the application the list can be seen in the main readme.
-
-You can do this in the terminal by using the `export` command or -D arguements to java -jar command:
-
-```bash
-export APP_HOME_NAME="Stirling PDF"
-or
--DAPP_HOME_NAME="Stirling PDF" 
-```

-If you want to add your own language to Stirling-PDF please refer
-https://github.com/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/HowToAddNewLanguage.md
-
-And please create a PR to merge it back in so others can use it! 
-
-## How to View
-1. Open a web browser and navigate to `http://localhost:8080/`
-2. Use the application by following the instructions on the website.
-
-
-## Customisation
-Stirling PDF allows easy customization of the app.
-Includes things like
-- Custom application name
-- Custom slogans, icons, images, and even custom HTML (via file overrides)
-
-
-There are two options for this, either using the generated settings file ``settings.yml``
-This file is located in the ``/configs`` directory and follows standard YAML formatting
-
-Environment variables are also supported and would override the settings file
-For example in the settings.yml you have
-```
-system:
-  defaultLocale: 'en-US'
-```
-
-To have this via an environment variable you would have ``SYSTEM_DEFAULTLOCALE``
-
-The Current list of settings is
-```
-security:
-  enableLogin: false # set to 'true' to enable login
-  csrfDisabled: true
-
-system:
-  defaultLocale: 'en-US' # Set the default language (e.g. 'de-DE', 'fr-FR', etc)
-  googlevisibility: false # 'true' to allow Google visibility (via robots.txt), 'false' to disallow
-  customStaticFilePath: '/customFiles/static/' # Directory path for custom static files
-
-#ui:
-#  appName: exampleAppName # Application's visible name
-#  homeDescription: I am a description # Short description or tagline shown on homepage.
-#  appNameNavbar: navbarName # Name displayed on the navigation bar
-
-endpoints:
-  toRemove: [] # List endpoints to disable (e.g. ['img-to-pdf', 'remove-pages'])
-  groupsToRemove: [] # List groups to disable (e.g. ['LibreOffice'])
-
-metrics:
-  enabled: true # 'true' to enable Info APIs endpoints (view http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html#/API to learn more), 'false' to disable
-```
-### Extra notes
-- Endpoints. Currently, the endpoints ENDPOINTS_TO_REMOVE and GROUPS_TO_REMOVE can include comma separate lists of endpoints and groups to disable as example ENDPOINTS_TO_REMOVE=img-to-pdf,remove-pages would disable both image-to-pdf and remove pages, GROUPS_TO_REMOVE=LibreOffice Would disable all things that use LibreOffice. You can see a list of all endpoints and groups [here](https://github.com/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/groups.md) 
-- customStaticFilePath. Customise static files such as the app logo by placing files in the /customFiles/static/ directory. An example of customising app logo is placing a /customFiles/static/favicon.svg to override current SVG. This can be used to change any images/icons/css/fonts/js etc in Stirling-PDF
-
-### Environment only parameters
-- ``SYSTEM_ROOTURIPATH`` ie set to ``/pdf-app`` to Set the application's root URI to ``localhost:8080/pdf-app``
-- ``SYSTEM_CONNECTIONTIMEOUTMINUTES`` to set custom connection timeout values
-- ``DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY`` to tell docker to download security jar (required as true for auth login)
-
-## API
-For those wanting to use Stirling-PDFs backend API to link with their own custom scripting to edit PDFs you can view all existing API documentation
-[here](https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF/) or navigate to /swagger-ui/index.html of your stirling-pdf instance for your versions documentation (Or by following the API button in your settings of Stirling-PDF)
-
-
-## Login authentication
-![stirling-login](images/login-light.png)
-### Prerequisites: 
-- User must have the folder ./configs volumed within docker so that it is retained during updates.
-- Docker uses must download the security jar version by setting ``DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY`` to ``true`` in environment variables. 
-- Then either enable login via the settings.yml file or via setting ``SECURITY_ENABLE_LOGIN`` to ``true``
-- Now the initial user will be generated with username ``admin`` and password ``stirling``. On login you will be forced to change the password to a new one. You can also use the environment variables ``SECURITY_INITIALLOGIN_USERNAME`` and  ``SECURITY_INITIALLOGIN_PASSWORD`` to set your own straight away (Recommended to remove them after user creation).
-
-Once the above has been done, on restart, a new stirling-pdf-DB.mv.db will show if everything worked.
-
-When you login to Stirling PDF you will be redirected to /login page to login with those default credentials. After login everything should function as normal
-
-To access your account settings go to Account settings in the settings cog menu (top right in navbar) This Account settings menu is also where you find your API key.
-
-To add new users go to the bottom of Account settings and hit 'Admin Settings', here you can add new users. The different roles mentioned within this are for rate limiting. This is a Work in progress which will be expanding on more in future
-
-For API usage you must provide a header with 'X-API-Key' and the associated API key for that user.
-
-
-## FAQ
-
-### Q1: What are your planned features?
-- Progress bar/Tracking
-- Full custom logic pipelines to combine multiple operations together.
-- Folder support with auto scanning to perform operations on
-- Redact text (Via UI not just automated way) 
-- Add Forms
-- Annotations
-- Multi page layout (Stich PDF pages together) support x rows y columns and custom page sizing 
-- Fill forms mannual and automatic 
-
-### Q2: Why is my application downloading .htm files?
-This is a issue caused commonly by your NGINX congifuration. The default file upload size for NGINX is 1MB, you need to add the following in your Nginx sites-available file. ``client_max_body_size SIZE;`` Where "SIZE" is 50M for example for 50MB files.
-
-### Q3: Why is my download timing out
-NGINX has timeout values by default so if you are running Stirling-PDF behind NGINX you may need to set a timeout value such as adding the config ``proxy_read_timeout 3600;``
