Cannot read text based PDF file content

[bahadirarslan]

I am trying to read a PDF file contents. It contains tabular text data and I tried the most basic example code to see how this package reads contents.

But neither is there an error nor does item.text has a value

const { PdfReader } = await import("pdfreader"); // I am using CommonJS so I dynamically imported library.
    new PdfReader().parseFileItems(path.resolve(__dirname, `../../${filePath}`), (err, item) => {
//filePath was relative so I tried to resolve it, maybe this was the cause
        if (err) console.error("error:", err);
        else if (!item) console.warn("end of buffer");
        else if (item.text) console.log(item.text);
    });

It's hard to help you without being able to reproduce the issue.

In order to help us do that, please share the PDF file.

I am sorry but I can not share the PDF file because it contains some personal info. But if you provide me an alternative way to share it with you, I can send it.
