API

Simple Usage

The first argument of input can be a file path or buffer.
If you pass a output file path to output, it will generate files and returns Promise<null>; otherwise return buffers without generating files.

Generate file buffer(s) from a PDF file

const inputPath = path.join(__dirname, '../test/files/sample.pdf');
const options = { format: 'png' };
const outputBuffer = await input(inputPath, options).output();

Generate file buffer(s) from the buffer

const inputPath = path.join(__dirname, '../test/files/sample.pdf');
const buffer = fs.readFileSync(inputPath);
const options = { format: 'png' };
const outputBuffer = await input(buffer, options).output();

Generate file(s) on the specified output path

const inputPath = path.join(__dirname, '../test/files/sample.pdf');
const outputPath = path.join(__dirname, '../test/files/sample-img');
const options = { format: 'png' };
await input(inputPath, options).output(outputPath);
