Leverage the advantages of the PDFix SDK WebAssembly build for use in both Node.js and web applications. This allows to execute code at near-native speeds. Reduce the need for server-side processing and improve your web app responsiveness.
Using this package, you can get started either in Node.js or in browser - web environment.
To install the package, run this command:
npm i pdfix-sdk
const Pdfix = require('pdfix-sdk');
const pdfixSdkWrapper = new Pdfix();
pdfixSdkWrapper.loadPdfixSdk().then(() => {
const pdfixSdk = pdfixSdkWrapper.getPdfixSdk();
const pdfix = pdfixSdk.GetPdfix();
const pdfDoc = pdfixSdkWrapper.openDocumentFromPath("<YOUR_DOCUMENT_PATH>");
// your code ...
pdfDoc.Close();
pdfix.Destroy();
});
Run this command in the location of installed NPM package to get the package for web:
npm run get-web-package --path=<OPTIONAL_PATH>
- If the
--path
option is set, it will put the files for web there. - You will find those files in
./dist
folder instead.
Use the PDFix SDK accordingly:
// replace with your import path
import { Pdfix as PdfixSdkWrapper, PdfixSdk } from './assets/pdfix/index';
import { Pdfix, PdfDoc } from 'PDFIX_WASM';
const pdfixSdkWrapper: PdfixSdkWrapper = new PdfixSdkWrapper();
// provide your "helper" path ('/assets/pdfix/') if your
// web app cannot find wasm binary
pdfixSdkWrapper.loadPdfixSdk('/assets/pdfix/').then(() => {
const pdfixSdk: PdfixSdk = pdfixSdkWrapper.getPdfixSdk();
const pdfix: Pdfix = pdfixSdk.GetPdfix();
const pdfDoc: Promise<PdfDoc> = pdfixSdkWrapper.openDocumentFromUrl('<YOUR_DOCUMENT_URL>');
// your code ...
pdfix.Destroy();
});
The package comes with a TypeScript Declaration File (d.ts) for the pdfix_wasm module. Thus it is recommended to get started with a TypeScript based project. To get more details about any of the functions in the SDK, check in our Documentation
We want to show the world that it is possible to take advantage of all the amazing features that PDF has available without the headache of having to understand them yourself.
Make your PDFs PDF/UA compliant in ease.
const pdfDoc: PdfDoc = pdfix.openDocumentFromPath('<YOUR_DOCUMENT_PATH>');
const pdfAccessibleParams: PdfAccessibleParams = new pdfixSdk.PdfAccessibleParams();
pdfDoc.MakeAccessible(
pdfAccessibleParams,
"Document Title",
"en-US",
0,
0
);
pdfDoc.Close();
Improve Accessibility in Existing PDF Files.
const pdfDoc: PdfDoc = pdfix.openDocumentFromPath('<YOUR_DOCUMENT_PATH>');
const pdfTagsParams: PdfTagsParams = new pdfixSdk.PdfTagsParams();
pdfDoc.AddTags(pdfTagsParams, 0, 0);
pdfDoc.Close();
Easily convert any PDF into HTML.
function streamToString(sdk: PdfixSdk, stream: PsStream): string {
const ptr: number = sdk._malloc(stream.GetSize());
stream.Read(0, ptr as any, stream.GetSize());
let string: string = '';
for (let i = 0; i < stream.GetSize(); i++) {
string += String.fromCharCode((sdk as any).HEAP8[ptr + i])
}
return string;
}
const pdfDoc: PdfDoc = pdfix.openDocumentFromPath('<YOUR_DOCUMENT_PATH>');
const pdfToHtmlConversion: PdfHtmlConversion = pdfDoc.CreateHtmlConversion();
let pdfHtmlParams: PdfHtmlParams = new pdfixSdk.PdfHtmlParams();
pdfHtmlParams.flags |= (
PdfixEnum.kHtmlNoExternalCSS |
PdfixEnum.kHtmlNoExternalJS |
PdfixEnum.kHtmlNoExternalIMG |
PdfixEnum.kHtmlNoExternalFONT
);
pdfHtmlParams.type = PdfHtmlType.kPdfHtmlResponsive;
pdfToHtmlConversion.SetParams(pdfHtmlParams);
pdfToHtmlConversion.AddPage(1, 0, 0);
const stream: PsStream = pdfixSdk.GetPdfix().CreateMemStream();
pdfToHtmlConversion.SaveToStream(stream, 0, 0);
const htmlString = streamToString(pdfixSdk, stream);
stream.Destroy();
pdfToHtmlConversion.Destroy();
console.log(htmlString);
pdfDoc.Close();
