@xuakson You can use version 4. Everything should still work fine

[xuakson]

Version 4 of what? please send the link, i'm confused, bcus i see 11.xx

@xuakson https://github.com/Sparticuz/node-qpdf2/releases/tag/v4.1.0

You can still use the latest version of qpdf, you will need to use v4 of node-qpdf2 though if you need cjs.

Yep, https://github.com/Sparticuz/node-qpdf2/blob/682e869f28425e12f6a4fe02354fcf94b722144e/test/encrypt-and-decrypt.ts#L65-L79

To use this package on commonjs module you can use this. Here's an example:

import type nodeQpf from 'node-qpdf2'

...

const { encrypt } = await importEsmModule<typeof nodeQpf>( 'node-qpdf2' )

Hope this helps :)

didnt work sir, i use version 4 worked, thank for helping anyway, i'm getting issue with await yet it at the top level,

You can only use await inside an async function. I'm using latest version without errors:

import type nodeQpf from 'node-qpdf2'

async function myFunction() {
  const { encrypt } = await importEsmModule<typeof nodeQpf>( 'node-qpdf2' )

  await encrypt({ ... })
}
