File Import​

If you want to create a searchable PDF (includes text), or get the detected data or text of the imported file, use loadFile 

import { DocutainSDK, PDFPageFormat } from '@docutain/capacitor-plugin-docutain-sdk'

try{
    const result = await DocutainSDK.loadFile(filePath) 
    //generate a PDF from the imported file
    var destinationUri = (await Filesystem.getUri({ path: "sample.pdf", directory:Directory.Data })).uri;
    const pdfUri = (await DocutainSDK.writePDF({
        fileUri: destinationUri,
        overWrite: true,
        pageFormat: PDFPageFormat.A4
    })).fileUri
}catch (error) {
    //error occured
    console.error(error);
}
