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 from '@docutain/react-native-docutain-sdk';

if(await DocutainSDK.loadFile(filePath)) 
{
    //generate a PDF from the imported file
    const destinationPath: string = RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath + "/TestPDF.PDF";
    const pdfFile = DocutainSDK.writePDF(destinationPath,true,"A4");
    if(pdfFile != null)
    {
        //do something with the generated pdf file
    } 
    else
    {
        //error occured
    }
} 
else
{
    //error occured
    const error: string = await DocutainSDK.getLastError();
}
