This package depends on unmanaged add-on binaries, and the add-on binaries are not cross-platform. At the moment we have support for
* **OS**: Linux (excluding Alpine), Windows(x64)
* **Node.js version**: 10 - 24
* **Electron version**: 6 - 30
Installation will fail if your OS, Node.js or Electron version is not supported.
Add the `@pdftron/cad` package as a dependency in your `package.json`
Inside of your @pdftron/pdfnet-node code after initialization you should include the following line:
```javascript
await PDFNet.addResourceSearchPath("./node_modules/@pdftron/cad/lib")
```
Here is an example of data extraction being used with this line.
```javascript
const { PDFNet } = require('@pdftron/pdfnet-node');
const licenseKey = "Insert license key here"
const inputFile = "Insert input file location here"
async function main() {
// This is where we import data-extraction
await PDFNet.addResourceSearchPath("./node_modules/@pdftron/cad/lib")
const doc = await PDFNet.PDFDoc.create();
await PDFNet.Convert.fromCAD(doc, inputFile);
const outputFile = 'out/converted_cad.pdf';
await doc.save(outputFile, PDFNet.SDFDoc.SaveOptions.e_linearized);
}
PDFNet.runWithCleanup(main, licenseKey).catch(function (error) {
console.log('Error: ' + JSON.stringify(error));
}).then(function () { return PDFNet.shutdown(); });;
```
