      AsposePDFWebWorker.postMessage({ "operation": 'AsposePdfToTxt', "params": [event.target.result, e.target.files[0].name, "ResultPDFtoTxt.txt"] }, [event.target.result]);
    };
    file_reader.readAsArrayBuffer(e.target.files[0]);

  var ffileToTxt = function (e) {
    const file_reader = new FileReader();
    file_reader.onload = (event) => {
      /*Convert a PDF-file to Txt and save the "ResultPDFtoTxt.txt"*/
      const json = AsposePdfToTxt(event.target.result, e.target.files[0].name, "ResultPDFtoTxt.txt");
      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, "text/plain");
