I had a similar error and I fixed it by specifying the pdf.worker.js explicitly at the end of the pdf.js

if (!PDFJS.workerSrc && typeof document !== 'undefined') {
  // workerSrc is not set -- using last script url to define default location
  ****** I have no clue what the code below hope to accomplish ********
  ****** How can it locate the script container by assuming it ********
  ****** always would be at the end of  or  ????   ********
  PDFJS.workerSrc = (function () {
    'use strict';
    var scriptTagContainer = document.body ||
                             document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    var pdfjsSrc = scriptTagContainer.lastChild.src;
    return pdfjsSrc && pdfjsSrc.replace(/\.js$/i, '.worker.js');
  })();


  ****** Here I just hardcode the location of the needed file *********
  ****** This is the part that makes it work.                 *********
  ****** Obviously, tailor this to the same path of pdf.js    *********
  PDFJS.workerSrc = '/static/js/pdf.worker.js';
}
