|
---
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
coherentpdf.js can be used from both node and the browser.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The file `cpdflibtest.js` uses every function in coherentpdf.js. Call `./run`
|
||
|
|
to run it in node.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For development server-side with node: `coherentpdf.js` (minified version
|
||
|
|
`coherentpdf.min.js`). Load with `const coherentpdf = require('coherentpdf')`
|
||
|
|
if installed in npm, or `const coherentpdf = require('./coherentpdf.js')` to
|
||
|
|
load from current directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For development client-side with the browser : `coherentpdf.browser.js`
|
||
|
|
(minified version for deployment : `coherentpdf.browser.min.js`). Load with
|
||
|
|
`<script src="coherentpdf.browser.js"></script>` or similar.

Data types
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arguments are numbers, strings, or arrays (of type UInt8Array for data). Page
|
||
|
|
ranges are represented by arrays of numbers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Memory Management
|
||
|
|
-----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A PDF p must be explicitly deallocated with deletePdf(p).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Errors
|
||
|
|
------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Any function may raise an exception, containing a string describing the problem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Concurrency
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
coherentpdf.js is synchronous and non-re-entrant. In the browser, best used in a worker.
