Below are examples of how to use the sinsintro-pdf-extractor library to extract text and images from a PDF file.
Extract Text from PDF
To extract text from a PDF file, you can use the extractTextFromPdf function:
import { extractTextFromPdf } from 'sinsintro-pdf-extractor';
const handleFile = async (file) => {
const text = await extractTextFromPdf(file);
console.log('Extracted text:', text);
};
// Example usage with a file input element
document.getElementById('fileInput').addEventListener('change', (event) => {
const file = event.target.files[0];
handleFile(file);
});Extract Images from PDF
To extract images from a PDF file and optionally resize them, use the extractImagesFromPdf function:
import { extractImagesFromPdf } from 'sinsintro-pdf-extractor';
const handleFile = async (file) => {
const images = await extractImagesFromPdf(file, 800, 800); // Resizing images to max 800x800
console.log('Extracted images:', images);
// Display the images in the DOM
const imageContainer = document.getElementById('imageContainer');
images.forEach((base64Image, index) => {
const imgElement = document.createElement('img');
imgElement.src = `data:image/png;base64,${base64Image}`;
imgElement.alt = `Extracted Image ${index + 1}`;
imgElement.style.maxWidth = '100%';
imageContainer.appendChild(imgElement);
});
};
// Example usage with a file input element
document.getElementById('fileInput').addEventListener('change', (event) => {
const file = event.target.files[0];
handleFile(file);
