• disable "Popup Blocker Pro" in Chrome does also not solve the problem!!

• Safari 5.1.7 (last version for windows) can't open the page, so i can't test with it..

[ghost]

• Opera does also not work!!

So strange, I have untouched my code and suddenly this error. I see the same error on the example pages as well.

Reproduced it, visit: http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/examples/index.html#interactive-examples
Chrome 64.0.3282.186 on Mac.
Click on a result tab in the examples, see console error: Uncaught ReferenceError: PDFJS is not defined at window.onload ((index):61)

In Safari it says: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: PDFJS

I changed my code to:

<script src="//mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/build/pdf.js"></script>
<script>
    'use strict';
    var PDFJS = {};
    PDFJS.workerSrc = '//mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/build/pdf.worker.js';
    console.log(PDFJS);
</script>

Next error is: PDFJS.getDocument is not a function

Solution: download a version from 10 days ago and host it yourself: https://github.com/mozilla/pdfjs-dist/tree/ba20b1adfcad8a5d9f6126b37062d52f3bd524b2

The 'good' solution is to replace PDFJS with pdfjsDistBuildPdf.
So:
pdfjsDistBuildPdf.workerSrc = '//mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/build/pdf.worker.js';
and
pdfjsDistBuildPdf.getDocument({data: pdfData});

The problem occurred after this commit: b8606ab

(Github always lock my accounts when i enter wrong login informations, because of that i now created one account more...;) "Please wait a while and try again later." -> And WTF means "a while"...?? A minute, a hour, a day, a week, a month...?)

In your case, i would change the example's source on https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/examples/

I still can't believe that im the 1st person who realize that the example source code is wong...;)

However, thank you for your feedbacks. Will try it as soon as possible...

I reported the same thing in #9525 but it was closed as invalid :( . Basically they broke backward compatibility.

Oh, i didn't saw that.

Two days ago we merged the pull request that removed the global PDFJS object. This is targeted for version 2.0, which is not officially released yet, so make sure to pin your version to 1.x until it is. The official release is tracked in #9521, the documentation about the backwards incompatible changes is tracked in #9528 and updating the JSFiddle examples is tracked in #9529, so I'm closing this issue in favor of those more specific issues. Note that this is being worked on right now and we hope to update the examples ASAP.

Edit: We also have #9440 to more clearly state that it is a nightly build and should be pinned by consumers.

The examples have been fixed now.
