NetPDF: CLI

Installation

• Docker image hosted on GitHub and Docker Hub: follow instruction within the page and general instruction on https://docs.docker.com
  • The image hosts both .NET 6 and JRE 11 runtimes

Usage

To use the CLI interface (NetPDFCLI) runs a command like the following:

netpdf -i

[!IMPORTANT] If the previous command raises the error described in Intel CET and NetPDF, the only solution is to apply the following workaround (within an elevated shell) and disable CET:

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\netpdf.exe" /v MitigationOptions /t REG_BINARY /d "0000000000000000000000000000002000" /f

• Docker image

docker run ghcr.io/masesgroup/netpdf -i docker run masesgroup/netpdf -i
