I am attempting to read content from a PDF file using Node with the Pdfreader module, but it is giving me the following error in the terminal:
(node:31780) Warning: To load an ES module, set "type": "module" in the package.json or use the .mjs extension.(Use node --trace-warnings ... to show where the warning was created)/Users/Zayan/index.js:1import { PdfReader } from "pdfreader";^^^^^^

This is my index.js so far (I have not created any files other than this and it is stored in my user folder):
import {PdfReader} from "pdfreader";new PdfReader().parseFileItems("600067301-2024-04-03.pdf",(err,item) => { if(err) console.log(error) else if (!item) console.warn("end of file") else if (item.text) console.log(item.txt)})
