 # mupdf-aws-lambda-layer
+
+[![Build](https://github.com/rwv/mupdf-aws-lambda-layer/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/rwv/mupdf-aws-lambda-layer/actions/workflows/build.yml)
+
+An AWS Lambda Layer containing MuPDF CLI tools (mutool and muraster) built for Amazon Linux 2023.
+
+## Overview
+
+This project provides a Lambda Layer that packages MuPDF command-line tools, making them available for use in AWS Lambda functions. The layer is built using Amazon Linux 2023 to ensure compatibility with Lambda's runtime environment.
+
+## Version
+
+Current MuPDF version: [1.24.10](https://mupdf.com/releases/history)
+
+## Contents
+
+The layer includes:
+- `bin/mutool` - An all purpose tool for dealing with PDF files
+- `bin/muraster` - Can be used to convert PDF pages to raster images
+- `lib/*` - All required shared libraries
+
+## Usage
+
+### Manual Layer Usage
+
+1. Download the layer ZIP from the [latest release](https://github.com/rwv/mupdf-aws-lambda-layer/releases/latest)
+2. Create a new Lambda Layer in your AWS account
+3. Upload the ZIP file
+4. Attach the layer to your Lambda function
+
+### Automated Layer Deployment
+
+The layer is automatically published to AWS Lambda's layer registry on each release. You can fork this repository and add the following repository secrets to enable automated deployments:
+
+- `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`: Your AWS access key ID
+- `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`: Your AWS secret access key
+- `AWS_REGION`: The AWS region to deploy to
+- `S3_BUCKET`: The S3 bucket name for storing the layer ZIP file
+
+## Building
+
+The layer is automatically built using GitHub Actions. The workflow:
+1. Sets up an Amazon Linux 2023 container
+2. Builds MuPDF from source
+3. Packages the binaries and dependencies
+4. Creates a ZIP file
+5. Publishes to S3 and Lambda Layer registry (on release only)
+
+To build locally, you can follow the steps in the GitHub Actions workflow file.
