I am trying to develop a web page where I want to upload a PDF file to a web page, get the values of its fields then render them into the web page fields using JavaScript. I started with the following code but I can not get the value of the PDF fields. May I ask for a sample code on how to do this

HTML:
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery-2.1.4.js"></script>
<script src="jspdf.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
    <input type="file" id="file-id" name="file_name" onchange="ExtractText();">
    <!-- a container for the output -->
    <div id="output"></div>
<script>
     function ExtractText() {
        var input = document.getElementById("file-id");
        var doc = new jsPDF(input.files[0]);                  
        alert("1");
                    //var fReader = new FileReader();
                    //fReader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
                    // console.log(input.files[0]);
                    //fReader.onloadend = function (event) {
                        //convertDataURIToBinary(event.target.result);
            }
</script>
</body>
</html>
