PDF.js not working on IE 11

I've been looking for days now and I am still unable to get PDF.js working on IE11, regardless of IE11 is listed as a supported browser, as showed in PDF.js DEMO.

No errors are shown in Chrome's Console. However, there are 3 errors in IE11's Console:

Chrome's Console

IE10's Console

Could anyone provide some help? Thanks

IE11 doesn't support ES6 format, so some features of PDF.js won't work in IE11.

You could try to use the ES5 version of pdf.js and pdf.worker.js.

Either :

  1. point import "pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.js" to import "pdfjs-dist/es5/build/pdf.js"
  2. point import "pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.js" to => import "pdfjs- dist/es5/build/pdf.worker.js"

OR use ES5 version:

  1. pdf.js : https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/es5/build/pdf.js
  2. pdf.worker.js: https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/es5/build/pdf.worker.js

Maybe it's because IE11 doesn't support ES6. Support for ES6 in Internet Explorer 11

I hope this will help someone in the future.
