How to read and extract pdf content in Angular 6?
I want to be able to import a pdf file from local file system. To validate the file, certain content from the pdf has to checked. For this i need to be able to read and extract the content from the pdf file. I am using angular-6 to build the application. I tried using the npm pdf-parse library. But that requires fs to work, which is not supported for browser applications. Any suggestions how this can be done? For csv i am using the simple FileReader to get the headers and content. Is there anything similar to that for pdf?

upload it to your backend, and use whatever library you want to parse it there?
