Pure javascript cross-platform module to extract texts from PDFs.
npm install pdf-parse
const fs = require('fs');
const pdf = require('pdf-parse');
let dataBuffer = fs.readFileSync('path to PDF file...');
pdf(dataBuffer).then(function(data) {
// number of pages
console.log(data.numpages);
// number of rendered pages
console.log(data.numrender);
// PDF info
console.log(data.info);
// PDF metadata
console.log(data.metadata);
// PDF.js version
// check https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/getting_started/
console.log(data.version);
// PDF text
console.log(data.text);
});
You can use crawler-request which uses the pdf-parse
const fs = require('fs');
const pdf = require('pdf-parse');
let dataBuffer = fs.readFileSync('path to PDF file...');
pdf(dataBuffer).then(function(data) {
// use data
})
.catch(function(error){
// handle exceptions
})
// default render callback
function render_page(pageData) {
//check documents https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/
let render_options = {
//replaces all occurrences of whitespace with standard spaces (0x20). The default value is `false`.
normalizeWhitespace: false,
//do not attempt to combine same line TextItem's. The default value is `false`.
disableCombineTextItems: false
}
return pageData.getTextContent(render_options)
.then(function(textContent) {
let lastY, text = '';
for (let item of textContent.items) {
if (lastY == item.transform[5] || !lastY){
text += item.str;
}
else{
text += '\n' + item.str;
}
lastY = item.transform[5];
}
return text;
});
}
let options = {
pagerender: render_page
}
let dataBuffer = fs.readFileSync('path to PDF file...');
pdf(dataBuffer,options).then(function(data) {
//use new format
});
const DEFAULT_OPTIONS = {
// internal page parser callback
// you can set this option, if you need another format except raw text
pagerender: render_page,
// max page number to parse
max: 0,
//check https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/getting_started/
version: 'v1.10.100'
}
If you need another format except raw text.
Max number of page to parse. If the value is less than or equal to 0, parser renders all pages.
check pdf.js
'default'
'v1.9.426'
'v1.10.100'
'v1.10.88'
'v2.0.550'
default version is v1.10.100
