Does not work in node v16.10.0

[samuel-papinotas]

Describe the bug
When running with node v16.10.0, the methods parseBuffer and parseFileItems do not work as expected.

To Reproduce
Use node version 16.10.0 and try to read the text of a pdf using parseBuffer or parseFileItems

Expected behavior
The callback passed to parseBuffer or parseFileItems should be called with each pdf item found.

Current behavior
The callback passed to parseBuffer or parseFileItems only gets called once with the file: { path } or file: { buffer } data, and never gets called with the pdf items or pages.

Screenshots, outputs or logs

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS Big Sur 11.4
• Browser: node.js
• Version: 16.10.0

Aditional Info

The same code works correctly in at least node 16.3.0

FYI, we have integrated automated tests of pdfreader on several versions of Node.js, from 8 to 16, cf de56372#diff-e98936aa52a6dd7416e4296e9628456227d834f7245967383fd9ff80fd985dadR32. It seems to be working as expected.

I am closing this issue but feel free to re-open if you're still having difficulties to make it work in your context. In that case, please provide your source code and/or PDF files that can't be parsed.
