Promise-based node.js wrapper for the Poppler PDF rendering library
The node-poppler module was created out of a need for a PDF-to-HTML conversion module at Yeovil District Hospital NHSFT to convert clinical documents in PDF format to HTML.
Install using yarn:
yarn add node-poppler
Or npm:
npm install node-poppler
node-poppler's test scripts use yarn commands.
Windows and OSX/Darwin binaries are provided with this repository.
For Linux users, you will need to download the poppler-data and poppler-utils binaries seperately.
An example of downloading the binaries on a Debian system:
sudo apt-get install poppler-data
sudo apt-get install poppler-utils
Once they have been installed you will need to pass the poppler-utils installation directory in as parameters to an instance of the Poppler class:
const { Poppler } = require('node-poppler');
const poppler = new Poppler('./usr/bin');
const { Poppler } = require('node-poppler');
API Documentation can be found here
options object requires atleast one of the following to be set: jpegFile; pdfFile; pngFile; psFile; svgFile; tiffFile.
Example of calling poppler.pdfToCairo with a promise, to convert only the first and second page of a PDF file to PNG:
const { Poppler } = require('node-poppler');
const file = 'test_document.pdf';
const poppler = new Poppler();
const options = {
firstPageToConvert: 1,
lastPageToConvert: 2,
pngFile: true
};
await poppler.pdfToCairo(options, file).then((res) => {
console.log(res);
});
Every field of the options object is entirely optional.
Example of calling poppler.pdfToHtml with a promise:
const { Poppler } = require('node-poppler');
const file = 'test_document.pdf';
const poppler = new Poppler();
const options = {
firstPageToConvert: 1,
lastPageToConvert: 2
};
await poppler.pdfToHtml(options, file).then((res) => {
console.log(res);
});
Every field of the options object is entirely optional.
Example of calling poppler.pdfToText with a promise:
const { Poppler } = require('node-poppler');
const file = 'test_document.pdf';
const poppler = new Poppler();
const options = {
firstPageToConvert: 1,
lastPageToConvert: 2
};
await poppler.pdfToText(options, file).then((res) => {
console.log(res);
});
