Same issue here, same environment

[IsaacTrevino]

Experiencing the same, with NextJS.
using "@react-pdf/renderer": "^1.6.17" for the meantime

It also occured to me when using with NextJS.

hi, i faced the same problem and looking at the webpack configuration, i solved the error setting an alias for iconv-lite to false like here

config.resolve = {
        alias: {
          // TODO: ignore iconv-lite on default because it contains exotic encodings like `win1251`, that isn't used in pdf
          'iconv-lite': false,
        },
        fallback: {
          process: require.resolve('process/browser'),
          zlib: require.resolve('browserify-zlib'),
          stream: require.resolve('stream-browserify'),
          util: require.resolve('util'),
          buffer: require.resolve('buffer'),
          asset: require.resolve('assert'),
        },
      };

npm install --save iconv-lite fixed it for me, of course, but it's odd that it's not an explicit dependency of the library.

[yanayhollander]

as @isaaclyman suggested yarn add --dev iconv-lite fix it for me

@diegomura I still get this issue in 2.3.0

[diegomura]

This change is not yet published. Will be included in 3.0.0 when we publish it

I tried them but I still face the same issue with React.js

Same issue two years after the last comment -- this fixed it
