pdfjs-dist

This is a mirror of pdfjs-dist, bundled and exposed as an ES module

Install

npm install @bundled-es-modules/pdfjs-dist

Use

import pdfjs from "@bundled-es-modules/pdfjs-dist/build/pdf";
import viewer from "@bundled-es-modules/pdfjs-dist/web/pdf_viewer";

pdfjs.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc =
  "@bundled-es-modules/pdfjs-dist/pdf.worker.js";

Important: Unlike in the original build, the pdfjs.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc is mandatory. We recommend supplying the worker via CDN.

PDFJS is a library by Mozilla, created to facillitate client-side rendering of PDF documents.

Currently, the primary build for this project is provided as UMD-style modules at pdfjs/pdfjs-dist.

Support for es modules in the main project has been requested here (#10317)
