PDF Viewer Worker Fix
Date: 2025-10-19 Issue: PDF.js worker failing to load from CDN Status: ✅ FIXED
Problem
When viewing a document, users saw this error:
Error Loading Document
Setting up fake worker failed: "Failed to fetch dynamically imported module:
http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdf.js/4.10.38/pdf.worker.min.js?import"
Affected URL: /document/:id
Root Cause
The PDF.js worker was configured to load from cdnjs.cloudflare.com CDN:
// BEFORE - Uses external CDN
pdfjsLib.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc =
`//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdf.js/${pdfjsLib.version}/pdf.worker.min.js`
Why it failed:
- CDN blocked by network/firewall
- CORS issues
- Import statement doesn't work with CDN URLs in Vite
- Dependency on external service (unreliable)
Solution
Use the local worker file from node_modules instead:
// AFTER - Uses local worker bundled by Vite
pdfjsLib.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = new URL(
'pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.min.mjs',
import.meta.url
).href
Benefits:
- ✅ No external dependencies
- ✅ Works offline
- ✅ Faster (local file)
- ✅ No CORS issues
- ✅ Bundled with Vite properly
Fix Applied
File: /home/setup/navidocs/client/src/views/DocumentView.vue
Lines: 96-101
Worker File: /home/setup/navidocs/client/node_modules/pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.min.mjs (1.4MB)
Verification
Worker file exists:
$ ls -lh client/node_modules/pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.min.mjs
-rw-r--r-- 1 setup setup 1.4M Oct 19 01:55 pdf.worker.min.mjs
HMR update confirmed:
