No PDFJS.workerSrc specified error on using pdfjs-dist package from npm

function usage(blob) {
    console.log('usage called!');
    var fileReader = new FileReader();
    fileReader.onload = function (blob) {
        require('pdfjs-dist');
        var fs = require('fs');
        PDFJS.getDocument(blob.target.result).then(function (pdfDocument) {
        console.log('Number of pages: ' + pdfDocument.numPages);
        });
    }
    fileReader.readAsArrayBuffer(blob);
}

implemented as shown in the example for node, but throws error for not specifying workingSrc. I’m using content scripts for a chrome extension which disallow document.currentscript as fcfort commented in this issue

You should try this:

  const pdfjs = await import('pdfjs-dist/build/pdf');
  const pdfjsWorker = await import('pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.entry');

  pdfjs.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = pdfjsWorker;

  ...

This absolutely worked for me, except I’m using native import.

import pdfjs from 'pdfjs-dist';
import pdfjsWorker from 'pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.entry';

pdfjs.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = pdfjsWorker;
