@Snuffleupagus @yurydelendik @timvandermeij That would be a nice think to have!!!!

[yurydelendik]

Thank you

[ErikNijland]

You're welcome!

Can you give some insight into the pdfjs-dist releases? Now that this is fixed I'd like to use it in our project. But that requires a new pdfjs-dist release.

[timvandermeij]

The pdfjs-dist library is updated when the next release is made, which will be the final 2.0 version.

[DenysVuika]

Are there any ETA on when this lands in the pdfjs-dist library on NPM? thanks.

[jlberrocal]

Any updates on when is this going to be released???

[thinhbuzz]

please update for v1

[jlberrocal]

@thinhbuzz what you mean by v1?

[thinhbuzz]

@jlberrocal
sorry, i mean pdfjs-dist version 1.*

[jlberrocal]

i tested using latest v1 release and problem is there too, BTW there was a release 4 days ago which says that fix this issue, i haven't tested yet

[timvandermeij]

The stable 2.0 release is now made, so this should be fixed if you upgrade.
