6 Ensure you have a PDF file named "test.pdf" alongside this example before running it.
7
8 import * as mupdf from "mupdf"
9
10 var doc = mupdf.Document.openDocument("test.pdf")
11 console.log(doc.countPages())
12
13 ## Creating a PDF
14
15 How to create a new PDF file with a single blank page:
16
17 import * as mupdf from "mupdf"
18
19 var doc = new mupdf.PDFDocument()
20 doc.insertPage(-1, doc.addPage([0, 0, 595, 842], 0, null, ""))
21 doc.save("blank.pdf")

28
29 var doc = mupdf.Document.openDocument("blank.pdf")
30
31 var page = doc.loadPage(0)
32
33 var annot = page.createAnnotation("FreeText")
34 annot.setRect([10, 10, 200, 100])

43 import * as mupdf from "mupdf"
44
45 var doc = mupdf.Document.openDocument("test.pdf")
46 for (var i = 0; i < doc.countpages(); ++i) {
47 var page = doc.loadPage(i)
48 var text = page.toStructuredText().asText()
49 console.log(text)
50 }

52 ## Converting a PDF to image files
53
54 import * as fs from "fs"
55 import * as mupdf from "mupdf"
56
57 var doc = mupdf.Document.openDocument("test.pdf")
58 for (var i = 0; i < doc.countpages(); ++i) {
59 var page = doc.loadPage(i)
60 var pixmap = page.toPixmap(
61 mupdf.Matrix.scale(96 / 72, 96 / 72),
62 mupdf.ColorSpace.DeviceRGB
63 )
64 var buffer = pixmap.asPNG()
65 fs.writeFileSync("page" + (i+1) + ".png", buffer)
66 }
