“Invalid canvas size” in "PDF to PNG" example #10778

Description

Trying to render a PNG from the PDF file using the example.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. mkdir pdf-test
  2. npm init
  3. npm install pdfjs-dist assert canvas
  4. Copy pdf2png.js from the examples page to the working folder
  5. Copy a random PDF to this folder, set path to it in pdf2png.js on line 54
  6. node pdf2png.js

I'm getting the following output:

# PDF document loaded.
(node:13760) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: Invalid canvas size
    at NodeCanvasFactory_create [as create] (D:\tests\pdf-test\pdf2png.js:23:5)
    at D:\tests\pdf-test\pdf2png.js:70:21

My system:

  • Windows 10 x64
  • Node v11.6.0
  • npm v6.5.0-next.0

Surprisingly, if I clone the entire PDF.js repository and follow the instructions to build it from source, the script works fine and I get a correctly rendered PNG file.

What am I missing when installing a prebuilt version from NPM?
