I am trying to introduce the pdfjs-dist library into my nodejs server. However it’s giving an import error

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module C:Userszjricauto-filingnode_modulespdfjs-distbuildpdf.mjs not supported.
Instead change the require of C:Userszjricauto-filingnode_modulespdfjs-distbuildpdf.mjs to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
    at Object.<anonymous> (C:Userszjricauto-filingutilspdf_to_text.js:1:18) {
  code: 'ERR_REQUIRE_ESM'
}

I assume this has to do with my package.json file and the es5/es6 differences shenanigans.

const pdfjsLib = require('pdfjs-dist');

const getTextFromPDF = async (path) =>{
    let doc = await pdfjsLib.getDocument(path).promise;
    let page1 = await doc.getPage(1);
    let content = await page1.getTextContent();
    return content.items.map(function(item){
        return item.str;
    });
}

getTextFromPDF('./demo.pdf').then(data => console.log(data));

module.exports = { getTextFromPDF }

changing my package.json file to "type": "module" isn’t realistic as all of my other infrastructure is already formatted in the require('module') and runs perfectly fine. I presume I need to modify the library itself but I’m unaware as to how to manipulate that.
