README

Introduction

This app, pdfs2json, facilitates extraction of textual content as plain text or JSON objects from a set of pdf files.

Quick Start

The following instructions provide a simple demonstration in the use of the package.

Create and cd into a new folder. For example:

mkdir test
cd test

Initialize, accepting the default values.

npm init

Install dependencies:

npm install pdfs2json

A simple test using the following code will determine if the app is correctly returning a JSON object.

Create the default entry file index.js with this content:

 (async () => {
  let p2j = require('pdfs2json');
  let url = 'http://www.xmlpdf.com/manualfiles/hello-world.pdf';
  let json_result = await p2j.pdf2txt.fileJSONContent(url);
  console.log('json file : ', json_result);
})();

Perform the test:

node .

Or:

node index.js

Here is the expected output:

json file :  { url: 'http://www.xmlpdf.com/manualfiles/hello-world.pdf', json: [ 'Hello, world!' ] }
