fix: fixes pdf-parse issue with ESM #31

Closed ChadHelbling closed 3 months ago

ChadHelbling commented 4 months ago

pdf-parse is old and unmaintained, theres a known issue with ESM https://gitlab.com/autokent/pdf-parse/-/issues/24

This adds the recommended workaround. Also fixes a path issue in the tester file.

Thank you @ChadHelbling for helping out. But I am getting rid of the pdf-parse library as it is not even maintained and I don't know what fixes they may add in the future. I am getting the text content from pdf.js (Mozilla) which pdf-parse relies on as well. Please test the new version and let me know if the ESM problem occurs again.

The new version works on my end, not seeing any of the previous issues, Thanks!
