# Adding PDF Engine Features
Each new PDF engine capability (bookmarks, watermark, stamp, embed, etc.) requires a matching Makefile entry. The Makefile variables control which engines are passed to Gotenberg at `make run` and `make test-integration` time via `compose.yaml`. Skip this step and `make run` falls back to the default defined in `pdfengines.go`, which may not include the new engine.
Every `--pdfengines-*-engines` flag registered in `pdfengines.go` needs two additions:
1. A variable in the Makefile's variable block (around line 60-70):
```makefile
PDFENGINES_<FEATURE>_ENGINES=<default engines>
```
2. A flag in `compose.yaml`'s command args:
```yaml
- "--pdfengines-<feature>-engines=${PDFENGINES_<FEATURE>_ENGINES}"
```
The default value must match the `fs.StringSlice(...)` call for that flag in `pdfengines.go`.
## Example: Rotate
Rotate was added with two engines (`pdfcpu` and `pdftk`):
**Makefile** (variable block):
```makefile
PDFENGINES_ROTATE_ENGINES=pdfcpu,pdftk
```
**compose.yaml** (command args):
```yaml
- "--pdfengines-rotate-engines=${PDFENGINES_ROTATE_ENGINES}"
```
