Examples

here some examples how to use:

`typescript

// Create a PDFConvert Object to use for the each pdf file
// Buffer
const pdfConverter = new PDFConvert(buffer);
// OR web url
const pdfConverter = new PDFConvert("http://example.com/example.pdf");

// Get the page count of the PDF (this returns a promise)
const pages = await pdfConverter.getPageCount()

// Get page 1 as a PNG Image Buffer
const buffer = await pdfConverter.convertPageToImage(1)
await fs.writeFile("example_page1.png", buffer);

/**
* Make sure you always clean the converter object when you're done using it,
* Otherwise the pdf tmp file will not be removed.
*
* Having to manually call clean allows you to run multiple operations on the same tmp file
* and reduces latency with having to refetch and write the pdf to a tmp location on every
* call.
*/
pdfConverter.clean()
