Should we always call destroy after using?

[Diluka]

In these two examples, one call is made and the other is not, so is it necessary? Under what circumstances is it necessary to make the call?

You must call destroy after finishing your work with the current PDF to prevent memory leaks. After loading a single PDF, you can perform multiple operations.

const parser = new PDFParse({ url: 'https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf' });
const textResult = await parser.getText();
const imageResult = await parser.getImage();
const ssResult = await parser.getScreenshot();
await parser.destroy();
