Overview

Example to demonstrate PDF.js library usage with Webpack.

Getting started

Install the example dependencies and build the project:

$ gulp dist-install
$ cd examples/webpack
$ npm install
$ ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js

You can observe the build results by running gulp server and navigating to http://localhost:8888/examples/webpack/index.html.

Refer to the main.js and webpack.config.js files for the source code. Note that PDF.js packaging requires packaging of the main application and the worker code, and the workerSrc path shall be set to the latter file.

Worker loading

If you are getting the Setting up fake worker warning, make sure you are importing pdfjs-dist/webpack which is the zero-configuration method for Webpack users:

import pdfjsLib from 'pdfjs-dist/webpack';
