- **Parameters:**
- `$src`: The path to the PDF file.
- `$fn`: A function that takes a PDF object as input and returns some result.
- **Example:**
```xquery
pdfbox:with-pdf("path/to/document.pdf", pdfbox:page-text(?, 5))
```
### `pdfbox:open-file($pdfpath as xs:string) as item()`
Opens a PDF file and returns a PDF object.
- **Parameters:**
- `$pdfpath`: The path to the PDF file.
- **Example:**
```xquery
let $pdf := pdfbox:open-file("path/to/document.pdf")
return pdfbox:page-count($pdf)
