# Description of Changes This pull request adds support for converting CBR (Comic Book RAR) files to PDF, optimizes CBZ/CBR-to-PDF conversion for e-readers using Ghostscript, and improves file type detection and image file handling. It introduces the `CbrUtils` and `PdfToCbrUtils` utility classes, refactors CBZ conversion logic, and integrates these features into the API controller. The most important changes are grouped below. ### CBR Support and Conversion: - Added the `com.github.junrar:junrar` dependency to support RAR/CBR archive extraction in `build.gradle`. (https://github.com/junrar/junrar and https://github.com/junrar/junrar?tab=License-1-ov-file#readme for repo and license) - Introduced the new utility class `CbrUtils` for converting CBR files to PDF, including image extraction, sorting, and error handling. - Added the `PdfToCbrUtils` utility class to convert PDF files into CBR archives by rendering each page as an image and packaging them. ### CBZ/CBR Conversion Optimization: - Refactored `CbzUtils.convertCbzToPdf` to support optional Ghostscript optimization for e-reader compatibility and added a new method for this. - Added `GeneralUtils.optimizePdfWithGhostscript`, which uses Ghostscript to optimize PDFs for e-readers, and integrated error handling. ### API Controller Integration: - Updated `ConvertImgPDFController` to support CBR conversion, CBZ/CBR optimization toggling, and Ghostscript availability checks. ### Endpoints <img width="1298" height="522" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/144d3e03-a637-451a-9c35-f784b2a66dc1" /> <img width="1279" height="472" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/879f221d-b775-4224-8edb-a23dbea6a0ca" /> ### UI <img width="384" height="105" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5f861943-0706-4fad-8775-c40a9c1f3170" /> ### File Type and Image Detection Improvements: - Improved file extension detection for comic book files and image files in `CbzUtils` and added a shared regex pattern utility for image files. ### Additional notes: - Please keep in mind new the dependency, this is not dependency-free implementation (as opposed to CBZ converter) - RAR 5 currently not supported. (because JUNRAR does not support it) - Added the new ebook optimization func to GeneralUtils since we'll soon (hopefully) at least 3 book/ebook formats (EPUB, CBZ, CBR) all of which can use it. - Once again this has been thoroughly tested but can't share actual "real life" file due to copyright.

Stirling-PDF
Stirling-PDF is a robust, locally hosted web-based PDF manipulation tool using Docker. It enables you to carry out various operations on PDF files, including splitting, merging, converting, reorganizing, adding images, rotating, compressing, and more. This locally hosted web application has evolved to encompass a comprehensive set of features, addressing all your PDF requirements.
All files and PDFs exist either exclusively on the client side, reside in server memory only during task execution, or temporarily reside in a file solely for the execution of the task. Any file downloaded by the user will have been deleted from the server by that point.
