TypeError: pdf2json_1.default is not a constructor

[kafraymundo]

Hi,
after I did the npm install and run my code (I'm trying to parse a pdf with acroform and validate the value in the fields) but it wouldn't continue due to the TypeError below.
Please help!

Did you find a solution to your problem?

you can try this:

import * as PDFParser from 'pdf2json'

 const pdfParser = new (PDFParser as any)(null, 1)

    pdfParser.on('pdfParser_dataError', (errData: any) =>
      console.error(errData),
    )
    pdfParser.on('pdfParser_dataReady', () => {
      console.log(pdfParser.getRawTextContent())
    })

Note: I'm using nest.js

in my case, the issue was fixed after adding "esModuleInterop": true, in tsconfig.json
