File stream option about pdf2image

[yakovmeister]

Hi,

As of now, there's no option for you to have a Stream or Buffer as response. However, the lib already supports base64 as response. The snippet below is an example on how to convert pdf to base64 image. Please let me know if it still is not enough. Thanks.

const PDF2Pic = require("pdf2pic");

const pdf2pic = new PDF2Pic({
  density: 100,           // output pixels per inch
  savename: "untitled",   // output file name
  savedir: "./images",    // output file location
  format: "png",          // output file format
  size: "600x600"         // output size in pixels
});

pdf2pic.convertToBase64("path/to/pdf/sample.pdf").then((resolve) => {
  if (resolve.base64) {
    console.log("image converter successfully!");

    // assuming you're using some ORM to save base64 to db
    return db.model.table('users').update({id: "1", image: resolve.base64});
  }
});

Thank you I have made some changes that can work as required, the problem is aws cloud storage needs a stream while upload because the pdf2image lib stores images in a folder, which was not required for me. However I have directly made readstream using the file location and then upload it. Thank you pro great library, very helpful to me,
