What is pdf2json?

The pdf2json npm package is a utility that allows you to convert PDF files into JSON format. This can be particularly useful for extracting and processing data from PDF documents programmatically.

What are pdf2json's main functionalities?

Convert PDF to JSON

This feature allows you to convert a PDF file into a JSON object. The code sample demonstrates how to load a PDF file, parse it, and save the resulting JSON data to a file.

const fs = require('fs');
const PDFParser = require('pdf2json');

let pdfParser = new PDFParser();

pdfParser.on('pdfParser_dataError', errData => console.error(errData.parserError));
pdfParser.on('pdfParser_dataReady', pdfData => {
    fs.writeFile('./output.json', JSON.stringify(pdfData), (err) => {
        if (err) throw err;
        console.log('PDF data has been converted to JSON and saved to output.json');
    });
});

pdfParser.loadPDF('./sample.pdf');

Extract Text from PDF

This feature allows you to extract text content from a PDF file. The code sample demonstrates how to parse a PDF file and extract the text content, then save it to a text file.

const fs = require('fs');
const PDFParser = require('pdf2json');

let pdfParser = new PDFParser();

pdfParser.on('pdfParser_dataError', errData => console.error(errData.parserError));
pdfParser.on('pdfParser_dataReady', pdfData => {
    const text = pdfData.formImage.Pages.map(page => page.Texts.map(text => decodeURIComponent(text.R[0].T)).join(' ')).join('\n');
    fs.writeFile('./output.txt', text, (err) => {
        if (err) throw err;
        console.log('Text has been extracted from PDF and saved to output.txt');
    });
});

pdfParser.loadPDF('./sample.pdf');
