Configuration:

• Web browser and its version: NODE 10
• Operating system and its version: LINUX/DOCKER
• PDF.js version: pdfjs-dist 2.2.2
• Is a browser extension: NO

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Install pdfjs-dist with: npm install pdfjs-dist --save
2. Install @types/pdfjs-dist with: npm install @types/pdfjs-dist --save-dev
3. Import pdfjs-dist in a *.ts file: import { PDFJS } from 'pdfjs-dist';
4. Use getDocument from PDFJS : PDFJS.getDocument('my.pdf')
5. execute the code and see the error: PDFJS is not defined

What is the expected behavior? PDFJS works on typescript

What went wrong? PDFJS can’t export correctly the lib on typescript

Work around: Import PDFJS in this way

import { PDFJSStatic } from 'pdfjs-dist'; 
const PDFJS: PDFJSStatic = require('pdfjs-dist');

Does pdfjs provide it’s own Typescript types somewhere else?

@types/pdfjs-dist should be maintained by mozilla/pdfjs-dist and/or mozilla/pdf.js contributors.

Only this contributors know the code and the functions and can write the required interfaces.
