Ensure you include pdf.js library in your project. You can then use PDFParse similar to the Node.js example, but with fetching the PDF file using Fetch API or XMLHttpRequest.
- loadPDF(src, options): Loads a PDF file and extracts text. src can be a Buffer or ArrayBuffer. options is optional.
- renderPage(pageData, options): A helper function for rendering a single page. This function is used internally by loadPDF`.
