// Please NOTE: In this sample we're assuming Cloud Api Server is hosted at "https://localhost". // If it's not then please replace this with with your hosting url. var fs = require("fs"); // `request` module is required for file upload. // Use "npm install request" command to install. var request = require("request"); // Source file name const SourceFile = "./sample.pdf"; // Comma-separated list of page indices (or ranges) to process. Leave empty for all pages. Example: '0,2-5,7-'. const Pages = ""; // PDF document password. Leave empty for unprotected documents. const Password = ""; // Search string. const SearchString = '[4-9][0-9].[0-9][0-9]'; // Regular expression to find numbers in format dd.dd and between 40.00 to 99.99 // Enable regular expressions (Regex) const RegexSearch = 'True'; // Prepare URL for PDF text search API call. var query = `https://localhost/pdf/find`; let reqOptions = { uri: query, formData: { password: Password, pages: Pages, searchString: SearchString, regexSearch: RegexSearch, file: fs.createReadStream(SourceFile) } }; // Send request request.get(reqOptions, function (error, response, body) { if (error) { return console.error("Error: ", error); } // Parse JSON response let data = JSON.parse(body); for (let index = 0; index < data.body.length; index++) { const element = data.body[index]; console.log("Found text " + element["text"] + " at coordinates " + element["left"] + ", " + element["top"]); } });
