    Function openPdf

    • Open a whole PDF and return a caller-owned document handle.

      Parameters

      • input: PdfInput

        File/Blob or whole PDF bytes; caller-owned buffers are copied before worker transfer.

      • options: OpenPdfOptions = {}

        Password, assets, resource limits and a borrowed OCR provider.

      Returns Promise<PdfDocument>

      A document to close in a finally block. Closing it never closes the supplied OCR provider.

      const pdf = await openPdf(bytes);
      try {
        const text = await pdf.getStructuredText({ ocr: 'off' });
        console.log(text.fullText);
      } finally {
        await pdf.close();
      }
