# Editing PDF pages

We can use the [preprocessImageFile](../../api/image-editor/exports/#preprocessimagefile) property on the [createDefaultImageReader](../../api/image-editor/exports/#createdefaultimagereader) function to load a PDFs page for editing.

Using a third-party library called [PDF.js](https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/) we can add PDF loading support to the editor.

We need to import `pdfjsLib` and the PDF.js worker script.

```html
<!-- This defines the pdfjsLib global -->
<script src="/pdfjs-2/build/pdf.js"></script>
<script>
    // here we tell pdfjsLib where to find the worker source
    pdfjsLib.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = '/pdfjs-2/build/pdf.worker.js';
</script>
```

Let's move on to setting up our `preprocessImageFile` function.
