// Import the PDF.js library
import pdfjsLib from 'pdfjs-dist';

// Load the PDF file as an ArrayBuffer
const file = 'example.pdf';
const fileReader = new FileReader();
fileReader.onload = function() {
  // Parse the PDF file from the ArrayBuffer
  const pdfData = new Uint8Array(this.result);
  pdfjsLib.getDocument({ data: pdfData }).promise.then(function(pdf) {
    // Iterate through each page of the PDF
    const numPages = pdf.numPages;
    for (let i = 1; i <= numPages; i++) {
      // Load the text content of the page
      pdf.getPage(i).then(function(page) {
        return page.getTextContent();
      }).then(function(content) {
        // Log the text content of the page to the console
        const pageText = content.items.map(item => item.str).join('\n');
        console.log(`Page ${i}: ${pageText}`);
      });
