Please help me testing React-PDF 5.0 beta update!

Hi, React-PDF v5.0.0-beta.5 has been released introducing a few major updates:

• React-PDF now ships with ES6 Modules
• Updated pdf.js from 2.1.266 to 2.4.456.

Breaking changes:

• You will need to change your imports to bundler-specific entry files, for example instead of:

  import { Document } from 'react-pdf/dist/entry.webpack';
  

  you’ll now write:

  import { Document } from 'react-pdf/dist/esm/entry.webpack';
  

• Dropped support for IE 11 due to pdf.js dropping support

so upgrade should be a piece of cake.

Please share your experiences - whether it works correctly in your project, doesn’t break the build, and so on.

Thanks!

Just an FYI that the latest breaks IE11 due to pdf.js deciding to remove support for it (annoyingly in a minor version).

The pdfjs-dist/es5 imports you switched to are fine, but things imported from pdfjs-dist/lib like PDFLinkService aren’t transpiled, and still have classes in the final output. It took a while to figure out what was going on, and we solved it by configuring babel to that transpile imports from that module.

The CDN link for pdf.worker.js is also no longer transpiled, so we switched to pdfjs.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = `//unpkg.com/pdfjs-dist@${pdfjs.version}/es5/build/pdf.worker.js`;

With v5.0.0-beta.4 I am seeing the following error in the console. Anyone else experiencing the same?
