kandi X-RAY | pdf2json Summary
pdf2json is a node.js module that parses and converts PDF from binary to json format, it's built with pdf.js and extends it with interactive form elements and text content parsing outside browser. The goal is to enable server side PDF parsing with interactive form elements when wrapped in web service, and also enable parsing local PDF to json file when using as a command line utility.

QUESTION
When I try to run pdf2json (without any parameters at all) I'm getting this error:
ANSWER
Answered 2022-Mar-26 at 02:56Quoting https://github.com/modesty/pdf2json/issues/250:
The problem here is that these were breaking changes but only marked as a new (non-breaking) feature with a minor version increment. So calling
npm audit fixactually forces this upgrade and breaks everything. This needs to be re-released as a MAJOR version increment to v2.0 and/or a bug patch released on the 1.x line to make this backwards compatible again.
The solution is to do npm install --save-exact pdf2json@1.2.5.

You'll need to use the built in File Interceptor instead of the AzureStorageFileInterceptor

Answered 2020-Mar-23 at 10:46The dialog method dialog.showSaveDialog returns a promise which resolves to an object, it does not return a string:
dialog.showSaveDialog([browserWindow, ]options)Returns
Promise - Resolve with an object containing the following:
canceledBoolean - whether or not the dialog was canceled.filePathString (optional) - If the dialog is canceled, this will beundefined.bookmarkString (optional)macOSmas - Base64 encoded string which contains the security scoped bookmark data for the saved file.securityScopedBookmarksmust be enabled for this to be present. (For return values, see table here.)You have to
awaitfordialog.showSaveDialogor usedialog.showSaveDialogSyncand also, you can makeexportDatato be asynchronous rather than creating an inner async function.Try to refactor your code like this:

Install pdf2json
More details can be found at the bottom of this document.
If you have an early version of pdf2json, please remove your local node_modules directory and re-run npm install to upgrade to pdf2json@1.0.x. v1.x.x upgraded dependency packages, removed some unnecessary dependencies, started to assumes ES6 / ES2015 with node ~v4.x. More PDFs are added for unit testing. Note: pdf2json has been in production for over 3 years, it's pretty reliable and solid when parsing hundreds (sometimes tens of thousands) of PDF forms every day, thanks to everybody's help. Starting v1.0.3, I'm trying to address a long over due annoying problem on broken text blocks. It's the biggest problem that hinders the efficiency of PDF content creation in our projects. Although the root cause lies in the original PDF streams, since the client doesn't render JSON character by character, it's a problem often appears in final rendered web content. We had to work around it by manually merge those text blocks. With the solution in v1.0.x, the need for manual text block merging is greately reduced. The solution is to put to a post-parsing process stage to identify and auto-merge those adjacent blocks. It's not ideal, but works in most of my tests with those 261 PDFs underneath test directory. The auto merge solution still needs some fine tuning, I keep it as an experimental feature for now, it's off by default, can be turned on by "-m" switch in commandline. In order to support this auto merging capability, text block objects have an additional "sw" (space width of the font) property together with x, y, clr and R. If you have a more effective usage of this new property for merging text blocks, please drop me a line.
v1.1.4 unified event data structure: only when you handle these top level events, no change if you use commandline event "pdfParser_dataError": {"parserError": errObj} event "pdfParser_dataReady": {"formImage": parseOutput}
v1.0.8 fixed issue 27, it converts x coordinate with the same ratio as y, which is 24 (96/4), rather than 8.7 (96/11), please adjust client renderer accordingly when position all elements' x coordinate.
Make sure nodejs is installed. Detailed installation steps can be found at http://stackoverflow.com/a/16303380/433814.
Create a symbolic link from node to nodejs
Verify the version of node and installation
Proceed with the install of pdf2json as described above
