A pure JavaScript, cross-platform module designed for extracting text from PDF files using pdf.js.

• Extract text from PDF files.
• Supports both browser and Node.js environments.
• Easy to use with promise-based API.

npm install pdf-parse2

Or

yarn add pdf-parse2

const fs = require('fs');
const PDFParse = require('pdf-parse2');

(async () => {
  const dataBuffer = fs.readFileSync('path/to/your/document.pdf');
  const PDFParse = new PDFParse();

  try {
    const pdfData = await PDFParse.loadPDF(dataBuffer);
    console.log('Text:', pdfData.text);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
})();

Ensure you include pdf.js library in your project. You can then use PDFParse similar to the Node.js example, but with fetching the PDF file using Fetch API or XMLHttpRequest.

• loadPDF(src, options): Loads a PDF file and extracts text. src can be a Buffer or ArrayBuffer. options is optional.

• renderPage(pageData, options): A helper function for rendering a single page. This function is used internally by loadPDF.
