## Extract Text From Whole PDF

```js
// Add this function as handler for file-upload element
var ffileExtract = function (e) {
      const file_reader = new FileReader();
      file_reader.onload = (event) => {
        /*Extract text from a PDF-file*/
        const json = AsposePdfExtractText(event.target.result, e.target.files[0].name);
        if (json.errorCode == 0) document.getElementById('output').textContent = json.extractText;
        else document.getElementById('output').textContent = json.errorText;
      };
      file_reader.readAsArrayBuffer(e.target.files[0]);
    };
```

## Save PDF as Office Formats

One of the most popular features of Aspose.PDF for JavaScript via C++ is to convert PDF documents to other formats without needing to understand the underlying structure of the resultant format.

Give the following snippet a try with your samples:

```js
// Add this function as handler for file-upload element
var ffileToDocX = function (e) {
    const file_reader = new FileReader();
    file_reader.onload = (event) => {
      /*convert a PDF-file to DocX and save the "ResultPDFtoDocX.docx"*/
      const json = AsposePdfToDocX(event.target.result, e.target.files[0].name, "ResultPDFtoDocX.docx");
      if (json.errorCode == 0) document.getElementById('output').textContent = json.fileNameResult;
      else document.getElementById('output').textContent = json.errorText;
      /*make a link to download the result file*/
      DownloadFile(json.fileNameResult, 
      "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document");
    }
    file_reader.readAsArrayBuffer(e.target.files[0]);
  }
```
