pdf-loader v1.0.2

PDF to image loader for WebPack

This loader gets a PDF file, converts it to images, and emit those files. It also returns the dimensions for each page.

Prerequisites

It calls the pdftocairo command which must be installed prior to using this plugin. It is included in Poppler.

Installation

npm install pdf-loader

Usage

Load the PDF using import:

import pdf from "pdf-loader!./my.pdf";

The pdf variable holds the paths to the images and the dimensions:

[
  {image: "/my-page0-hash.png", size: {width: 595, height: 842}},
  {image: "/my-page1-hash.png", size: {width: 595, height: 842}},
  ...
]

If you use React, you can insert the pages directly to the DOM:

<img src={pdf[0].image}/>
