Running on Electron "Uncaught Error: No PDFJS.workerSrc specified" about pdf2json HOT 12 OPEN

using
let PDFParser = require('electron').remote.require('pdf2json')
instead of
let PDFParser = require('pdf2json')

worked for me.
Thank you!

It works when you run it in the main process and not in any of the rendering process, and use the remote api to exchange data between them.

from pdf2json.

It should be possible to require it in a rendering process by: require('electron').remote.require(...)

how did you run pdf2json?
if you run it via cmd line, or as a web service, this error should not occur.

@modesty I ran in an electron app.

from pdf2json.

pdj2json is designed to run outside browser, and never tested with embedded browser (as in electron framework). 3 options here:

• invoke cmd line to run pdf2json from your app
• set globalScope.PDFJS.disableWorker to be true
• set PDFJS.workerSrc = Worker

@whitef0x0 @modesty It turns out that I have the same problem too. Any luck on running pdf2json in electron? Thanks...

@lanwin Thanks for your heads up. That works for me too...

@parzel Thanks for the explanation. I used it that way too...

@suparpat - can you please tell, what should I do to get the same PDFParser object in nwjs app?
I'm getting the same issue, most probably it'll be the same solution.
However, I'm unable to load pdf2json module correctly in nwjs app.

from pdf2json.

It worked for me during development with electron:serve, after bundling the program with electron:build, opening the executable would cause the module not being found.

I did the correct way and moved my code to the main proccess.
