Can we have a simple example without system.js?

Is there not enough PDF.JS to learn without trying to work out the System.JS stuff?

// In production, the bundled pdf.js shall be used instead of SystemJS.
Promise.all([System.import('pdfjs/display/api'),
             System.import('pdfjs/display/worker_options'),
             System.import('pdfjs/display/network'),
             System.resolve('pdfjs/worker_loader')])
       .then(function (modules) {
  var api = modules[0];
  var GlobalWorkerOptions = modules[1].GlobalWorkerOptions;
  var network = modules[2];

Maybe it'd make sense to simply remove https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/tree/master/examples/helloworld, and update all the relevant links to point to https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/master/examples/learning/helloworld.html instead?
Especially since the example is using PDF.js without building it first, which (as far as I know) isn't officially supported and thus probably shouldn't be advertised in this kind of highly visible way.

Similarly, https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/master/examples/svgviewer probably ought to be updated as well. Or it might be better to just replace it with a (much simpler) components based svgviewer example?

@timvandermeij What do you think?

Yes, I think reconsidering the examples is a good idea here. We should advertise the components as much as possible since it's the easiest way to build upon the PDF.js library.

I wish there were some examples on how to use pdfjs with systemjs.
