ng2-pdf-viewer: 2.0.0+ doesn't work with ssr

Hi!

Everything is working fine using webpack and ssr with the version 1.2.7. However since version 2.0.0 I get the following error when I start my dist/server.js file.

window['pdfjs-dist/build/pdf'] = pdfjs;
^

ReferenceError: window is not defined

Hi. I have problem in universal with the error Element is not defined. I found that the problem is for this component. Any Idea to fix that?

Any news about SSR support ?

Would definitely save me some time if somebody provides a repo where i can reproduce this issue.

any update on this? ReferenceError: Element is not defined

We encountered the same problem, and fixed it in prerender.ts & server.ts by adding the following lines:

win.requestAnimationFrame = () => {};
global['Element'] = {
    prototype: {}
};

+1 for previous comment: webpack:///./node_modules/pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.js?:1080 if (typeof Element.prototype.remove !== ‘undefined’) {

I’m currently searching for an PDF viewer that supports Angular Universal. Are there any news on this issue? Would a reproduction repository help?

I don’t really need PDF viewer on server side - maybe a simple solution would be to provide a noop-Module like the noopanimationsmodule…
