+
+A Webservice to analyze the content of PDF Documents using a HTTP API. This is a simple HTTP wrapper around [ad-freiburg/pdfact](https://github.com/ad-freiburg/pdfact) and builds the container image directly from their source.
+
+## Usage
+Start the service:
+```bash
+> docker run -p 80:80 dnlbauer/pdfact-service
+
+[2022-11-27 12:36:38 +0000] [1] [INFO] Starting gunicorn 20.1.0
+[2022-11-27 12:36:38 +0000] [1] [INFO] Listening at: http://0.0.0.0:80 (1)
+[2022-11-27 12:36:38 +0000] [1] [INFO] Using worker: gthread
+[2022-11-27 12:36:38 +0000] [7] [INFO] Booting worker with pid: 7
+```
+
+PDFs can be `POST`ed to `/analyze` as multipart file request. The response will contain the output of `pdfact`. The response format can be specified using the correct MIME `Accept` header; `pdfact` van provide json, xml and plain text as output format.
+
+```bash
+> curl -H "Accept: application/json" -F file=@testfile.pdf localhost:80/analyze
