Does this work in Next js?

[3SCadmin]

I can get this working in node, but when I try to convert it to a Next js 14 server action, I get this error:

⨯ node_modules\pdf-img-convert\node_modules\pdfjs-dist\legacy\build\pdf.js (5903:35) @ eval ⨯ Error: Setting up fake worker failed: "Cannot find module './pdf.worker.js'

I can get this working in node, but when I try to convert it to a Next js 14 server action, I get this error:

⨯ node_modules\pdf-img-convert\node_modules\pdfjs-dist\legacy\build\pdf.js (5903:35) @ eval ⨯ Error: Setting up fake worker failed: "Cannot find module './pdf.worker.js'

For the original question, I think you can make it work by adding the dependecy on next.config

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    serverComponentsExternalPackages: ['pdf-img-convert'],
  },
};

export default nextConfig;

Okay, seems like this does not work anymore

[AryashDubey]

Were you able to solve it?

[jakate]

I got it working.

This was the next.config.mjs changes I did:

const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    serverComponentsExternalPackages: [
      'pdf-img-convert',
    ],
    outputFileTracingIncludes: {
      '/': [
        './node_modules/pdf-img-convert/node_modules/pdfjs-dist/legacy/build/pdf.worker.js',
        './node_modules/pdf-img-convert/node_modules/pdfjs-dist/legacy/build/pdf.js',
      ],
    },
  },
}

And using node version 21

[AryashDubey]

Thank you so much man! That worked for me :)

[murtazabaanihali]

This worked for me.

By changing next.config.js or next.config.mjs

const nextConfig = { experimental: { serverComponentsExternalPackages: [ 'pdfjs-dist', 'pdf-img-convert' ], outputFileTracingIncludes: { '/': [ './node_modules/pdfjs-dist/legacy/build/pdf.worker.js', './node_modules/pdfjs-dist/legacy/build/pdf.js', ], }, } }

[ysqander]

Thanks @jakate , I spent a few hours on this!!

const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    serverComponentsExternalPackages: [
      'pdf-img-convert',
    ],
    outputFileTracingIncludes: {

        './node_modules/pdf-img-convert/node_modules/pdfjs-dist/legacy/build/pdf.worker.js',
        './node_modules/pdf-img-convert/node_modules/pdfjs-dist/legacy/build/pdf.js',
      ],
    },
  },
}

And using node version 21

This works in development but is failing for me in prod.

Would the file path be different after building?

[jakate]

I'm running my app on Vercel and it seems to work with that config just fine.

[Trevor-M-Williams]

@jakate Is your repo public? I'd love to take a look

[jakate]

I'm sorry, it's not public, so I can't really share that 😕

[alexbacanu]

I also encountered some issues with this, but since I was using pnpm in my setup, I had to make a few changes to get it working on Vercel. Here's my configuration:

experimental: {
  serverComponentsExternalPackages: ['pdf-img-convert'],
  outputFileTracingIncludes: {
    '/api/convert-to-img': [
      './node_modules/.pnpm/pdfjs-dist*/node_modules/pdfjs-dist/legacy/build/pdf.worker.js',
      './node_modules/.pnpm/pdfjs-dist*/node_modules/pdfjs-dist/legacy/build/pdf.js',
    ],
  },
},

Note the * after pdfjs-dist because the path looks something like this: /var/task/node_modules/.pnpm/pdfjs-dist@2.16.105/node_modules/pdfjs-dist/legacy/build/pdf.js.

[SebastienPingal]

@jakate @alexbacanu you saved me there, thanks
