LiteParse Cloudflare Worker

A starter template for deploying LiteParse on Cloudflare Workers to parse PDFs at the edge using WebAssembly.

Overview

This Worker runs LiteParse's Rust/WASM parser directly on Cloudflare's edge runtime, letting you extract text from PDFs without managing servers or containers.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• Wrangler CLI logged in (npx wrangler login)

Getting Started

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start local dev server
npm run dev

Usage

Send a PDF as the request body:

curl -X POST --data-binary @document.pdf http://localhost:8787

Response:

{
	"text": "Extracted text content...",
	"pages": 12
}

Deploy

npm run deploy

Project Structure

How It Works

1. The .wasm file is bundled via Wrangler's CompiledWasm rule.
2. initSync() initializes the WASM module on the first request.
3. LiteParse parses the PDF bytes and returns structured text.
