   Thanks for reporting!

   I read through the readme, and realized that it's not clear how to run the examples and the tests. To run the tests you first need to build the library to generate the lib directory. This can be done with the command npm run build. The same goes for the examples. An easier way to run the examples might be npm run example:promises. If you look in package.json you'll see the available scripts.

   As for why you're getting a ReferenceError when running the test suite is unclear to me. Could you perhaps provide a few details about your environment, such as operating system and Node.js version?

   Worth noting is that I can't guarantee that this module can be run from source with Yarn, as I've developed it with NPM and only provide a package-lock.json.

   I'll make sure to make the readme a bit more clear when I get the time.

   A few people seem to be having this problem. I haven't had a lot of time to look in to it, but as a temporary workaround you can clone the project outside node_modules. The issue only seems to happen when the library is installed through NPM.

   1. Clone the library into your project: git clone [email protected]:scriptcoded/simple-pdf.git
   2. Enter the clone directory cd simple-pdf
   3. Install dependencies npm install
   4. Build the library npm build
   5. Import the library using const { SimplePDFParser } = require('./simple-pdf/lib')

   There was an issue with PDF.js's alternate worker. This should be fixed with version v0.1.11.
