Make a nodejs version #10

This would be great! I am currently using a different module for parsing PDF tables and it's quite clunky...

garysieling commented 11 years ago

Which one are you using? That'd be helpful for feature comparison.

I'm using pdf2json (https://github.com/modesty/pdf2json). I only extract text strings and their x/y coordinates.

Thanks!

Took a first take on the node JS version, I'm testing from the command line so I suspect more work may be in order to use it in a webapp, but I need to come up with an example use case for that.
