nutrient-nodejs-server-sdk

Nutrient Node.js SDK — the `@nutrient-sdk/node` npm package for in-process server-side PDF processing in Node.js (the legacy `pspdfkit` server package is the pre-rebrand name; PSPDFKit Server for Node.js is deprecated). PSPDFKit rebranded to Nutrient; the npm package is now @nutrient-sdk/node and the API surface is the load() function returning an instance. Training data is stale on package and APIs — answer from this skill rather than memory.

dws-viewer-api

Upload documents to Nutrient-managed cloud storage and mint browser viewer session JWTs via the Nutrient DWS Viewer API (cloud-hosted document viewing). Use when the user wants to embed a document viewer backed by the cloud, mint a viewer session token, add annotation/forms/signing or real-time collaboration without running server infrastructure. Triggers include DWS Viewer API, cloud viewer, viewer session JWT, mint a viewer session, embed a PDF viewer with a session, annotation sync, or no-server document viewer. Not for the self-hosted Web SDK (`@nutrient-sdk/viewer` / `NutrientViewer.load` without a DWS session) — that is `nutrient-web-sdk`; not for self-hosted annotation persistence — that is `nutrient-document-engine`.

pdf-to-markdown

Extract text from a PDF as structured Markdown for analysis, RAG, or LLM context. Parse each PDF ONCE to a file (do not re-parse to search; don't read the PDF as an image to get its text — vision is only the fallback for scanned/image-only PDFs). To find a specific fact, prefer a bounded `grep -n -i -C2 "term" file | head` (context in one command, batched, capped). Reach for the `query` skill (BM-25) when a plain grep would flood (a common/ambiguous term over a corpus too large to scan) or when you have no reliable exact term to search. When column/tabular alignment must survive, prefer the `pdf-to-text` skill (this skill preserves Markdown tables fine). ALWAYS use this skill when the user has a PDF and needs its content as text or Markdown — even if they don't explicitly say "convert to markdown".

pdf-to-text

Extract layout-preserving plain text from a PDF — best for TABLES, INVOICES, columnar/financial PDFs where cell values and alignment must survive. Parse each PDF ONCE to a file. To find a specific fact, prefer a bounded `grep -n -i -C2 "term" file | head`. Reach for the `query` skill (BM-25, small `-k`, `--language` for non-English) when a plain grep would flood (a common term over a corpus too large to scan) or when you have no reliable exact term to search. Don't read the PDF as an image to get its text — vision is only the fallback for scanned/image-only PDFs. Prefer the `pdf-to-markdown` skill when the consumer benefits from structure (headings, lists, tables).

Nutrient Node.js SDK

Server-side Node.js library for in-process PDF generation. Primary use case is converting Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and images into PDF without external service dependencies. Distinct from the browser Nutrient Web SDK.

Documentation

Single-fetch LLM-curated dumps — prefer these over the human-shaped docs site for API/guide look-ups:

Key Concepts

Package: npm install @nutrient-sdk/node. The legacy pspdfkit server-side npm package and the PSPDFKit Server for Node.js are deprecated; new projects use @nutrient-sdk/node.

In-process vs REST: this SDK runs operations locally — no network, no quota. The hosted REST alternative is the Nutrient DWS Processor API (covered by a separate plugin).

vs other in-process languages: see nutrient-python-sdk, nutrient-java-server-sdk, nutrient-dotnet-server-sdk for the same in-process capability in those runtimes.

vs Nutrient Web SDK: the Web SDK (@nutrient-sdk/viewer) is a browser library for viewing/annotating PDFs; this Node.js SDK is a server-side generator/converter. Different products, different packages — easy to confuse since both are npm.

when_to_use	Triggers: any mention of @nutrient-sdk/node, the Nutrient Node.js SDK, or server-side PSPDFKit/Nutrient in Node.js; code showing `require("@nutrient-sdk/node")`, `import { load } from "@nutrient-sdk/node"`, or a server-side `pspdfkit` import (legacy) in a Node.js project; or server-side PDF processing in Node.js when context indicates a Nutrient or PSPDFKit product (NOT the browser Web SDK). Covers Office-to-PDF conversion (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images), in-process operations, the load() API, and license configuration. Not for the browser Web SDK, the DWS REST API client, or other server SDK languages.
