I wanted to use pdf.js for a project of mine but I faced an issue of importing it, basically, the CDN doesn't work
Here is my code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/pdfjs-dist@2.7.570/build/pdf.min.js"></script>
</head>
<canvas id="my-canvas"></canvas>
<script>
pdfjsLib.getDocument('./ahmed.pdf').then(doc => {
console.log("this file has" + doc._pdfInfo.numPages);
</script>
</body>
</html>
and that is the errors that my console shows
Deprecated API usage: No "GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc" specified.
Uncaught TypeError: pdfjsLib.getDocument(...).then is not a function
So what should i do to solve this problem and thank you so much
You have to set GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc to /build/pdf.worker(.min).js of same version:
pdfjsLib.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc =
"https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/pdfjs-dist@2.7.570/build/pdf.worker.min.js"; 👈
pdfjsLib.getDocument('./ahmed.pdf').promise.then(doc => {
console.log(`This document has ${doc._pdfInfo.numPages} pages.");
And, as @Pasi has mentioned, you have to promisify .getDocument() by chaining .promise on it. Without it, there is no .then().
See the "Hello World with document load error handling" example on this page to get started: https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/examples/
(Your snippet is missing .promise after getDocument() and setting the workerSrc property)
