import pdfjs from 'pdfjs-dist' no longer works

[johnwillyn]

I have been using this line in two places in my app; one is the main webpack app, and the other is a rollup based module:

import pdfjs from 'pdfjs-dist';

I just got an update to pdfjs-dist v2.5.207 and this no longer works.

I needed to switch over to:

const pdfjs = require('pdfjs-dist');

Not a huge issue, but I thought this might help others who encounter this.

I don't think we changed anything in this regard in that particular version. As far as I can tell this has already been the case for quite some time; notice the Webpack example at

pdf.js/examples/webpack/main.js

Line 6 in 50bc4a1

var pdfjsLib = require("pdfjs-dist");

for example. In any case, I think your switch is correct.

I'm having the same issue, import was working fine on 2.3.200 but not on 2.5.207.

Not working

It seems default import doesn't work, it works with namespace import import * as pdfjs from 'pdfjs-dist';.
