Thanks Dan!

Unfortunately current pdfjs version is broken:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.webjars.npm</groupId>
<artifactId>pdfjs-dist</artifactId>
<version>5.5.207</version>
</dependency>
However, adding the last known good 5.4.624 version to the Application's pom as
a dependency, is a proper workaround.
Cheers Andi
