> Asynchronous node.js wrapper for the Poppler PDF rendering library
> Asynchronous node.js wrapper for the Poppler PDF rendering library binaries
## Intro

The node-poppler module was created out of a need for a PDF-to-HTML conversion module at [Yeovil District Hospital NHS Foundation Trust](https://yeovilhospital.co.uk/) to convert clinical documents in PDF format to HTML.
[Poppler](https://poppler.freedesktop.org/) is a PDF rendering library that also includes a collection of utility binaries, which allows for the manipulation and extraction of data from PDF documents such as converting PDF files to HTML, TXT, or PostScript.

The `node-poppler` module provides an asynchronous node.js wrapper around these utility binaries, for easier use.
It was originally created out of a need for a PDF-to-HTML conversion module at [Yeovil District Hospital NHS Foundation Trust](https://yeovilhospital.co.uk/) to convert clinical documents in PDF format to HTML.
