 # pdfjs-serverless
 
-A redistribution of Mozilla's [PDF.js](https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js) for edge environments, like Cloudflare Workers. It is especially useful for serverless AI applications, where you want to parse PDF documents and extract text content.
+A redistribution of Mozilla's [PDF.js](https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js) as a single bundle for edge and serverless runtimes, like Cloudflare Workers. Use it as a drop-in replacement for `pdfjs-dist` to parse PDF documents and extract text content – no extra dependencies needed.
 
-This package comes with zero dependencies. The whole export is about 1.4 MB (minified).

 export default {

 ## How It Works
 
-Heart and soul of this package is the [`rollup.config.ts`](./rollup.config.ts) file. It uses [`rollup`](https://rollupjs.org/) to bundle the PDF.js library into a single file that can be used in serverless environments.
-
-The heavy lifting comes from string replacements of the `PDF.js` library, i.e. removing browser context references and checks such as `typeof window`. Additionally, we enforce Node.js compatibility (may sound paradoxical at first, bear with me), i.e. we mock the `@napi-rs/canvas` module and set the `isNodeJS` flag to `true`.
+> [!NOTE]
+> `pdfjs-serverless` is currently built from PDF.js v5.6.205.
 
-PDF.js uses a worker to parse PDF documents. This worker is a separate file that is loaded by the main library. For the serverless build, we need to inline the worker code into the main library.

-Finally, some mocks are added to the global scope that are not available in serverless environments, such as `FinalizationRegistry` which is not available in Cloudflare Workers.
+- **String replacements** strip browser-specific references (e.g. `typeof window`) from the PDF.js source.
+- **Node.js compatibility** is enforced by mocking `@napi-rs/canvas` and setting `isNodeJS` to `true` – paradoxical, but it unlocks the right code paths.
+- **Worker inlining** embeds the PDF.js worker directly into the main bundle, since serverless runtimes can't load separate worker files.
+- **Global polyfills** provide missing APIs like `FinalizationRegistry` (unavailable in Cloudflare Workers).
