JSPM – @pdftron/cad@11.8.0

Package Exports

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@pdftron/cad) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

@pdftron/cad

This package is meant to be used in conjunction with @pdftron/pdfnet-node to support CAD conversion from Apryse. Follow this guide for more info on usage. https://docs.apryse.com/documentation/core/guides/features/conversion/convert-cad-to-pdf/

For further reading checkout our blog post on the project. https://apryse.com/blog/conversion/converting-cad-to-pdf

Supported platform, Node.js, and Electron versions

This package depends on unmanaged add-on binaries, and the add-on binaries are not cross-platform. At the moment we have support for

OS: Linux (excluding Alpine), Windows(x64)
Node.js version: 8 - 23
Electron version: 6 - 30

Installation will fail if your OS, Node.js or Electron version is not supported.

Usage

Add the @pdftron/cad package as a dependency in your package.json

Inside of your @pdftron/pdfnet-node code after initialization you should include the following line:

await PDFNet.addResourceSearchPath("./node_modules/@pdftron/cad/lib")

Here is an example of data extraction being used with this line.

const { PDFNet } = require('@pdftron/pdfnet-node');
const licenseKey = "Insert license key here"
const inputFile = "Insert input file location here"

async function main() {
        // This is where we import data-extraction
        await PDFNet.addResourceSearchPath("./node_modules/@pdftron/cad/lib")
        
        const doc = await PDFNet.PDFDoc.create();

        await PDFNet.Convert.fromCAD(doc, inputFile);
        
        const outputFile = 'out/converted_cad.pdf';
        await doc.save(outputFile, PDFNet.SDFDoc.SaveOptions.e_linearized);
}

PDFNet.runWithCleanup(main, licenseKey).catch(function (error) {
    console.log('Error: ' + JSON.stringify(error));
}).then(function () { return PDFNet.shutdown(); });;
