Sidebar resizing is purposely not supported in browsers, such as IE11, that do not implement CSS variables; hence this issue is invalid.

Can I use pdf.js for IE11, without Sidebar resizing functionality ?

[timvandermeij]

Yes, IE11 should be mostly supported according to https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#which-browsers-are-supported. Only sidebar resizing will not work.

Thanks Jonas Jenwald & Tim van der meij : I am able to view pdf using viewer.html in IE11 browser.
As mentioned in browser support, IE10 browser is not supported however most features were supported in IE10 as per https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Required-Browser-Features,
Can you suggest, is there a way to use IE10 with minimal features of Pdfjs ?

I don't think PDF.js 2.0 or higher will work well in IE10, but you can try. If IE10 support is really necessary, you can fall back to using PDF.js 1.10.100 (https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/releases/tag/v1.10.100), the final version 1 release. However, we don't recommend that and recommend to always use the latest version.
