Pixdif PDF Parser


A PDF parser for pixdif to read PDF files and render each page into an image (PNG format), inspired by pdf.js and node-canvas.

You can install it as a pixdif plugin, or just use it to convert PDF files into images so that any other frameworks can compare or consume them, such as Playwright, WebDriver.IO or Allure Report.
