try this to resolve:

import PDFReader, { Props } from 'rn-pdf-reader-js'

class MyPDFReader extends PDFReader {
  constructor(props: Props | Readonly<Props>) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { ...this.state, renderedOnce: true };
  }
}

....

return (

Anyways I used another package react-native-pdf for view/render PDF.

Can you tell us what package you used, please?

[MarcoGennaro]

It's called exactly react-native-pdf, i replace it too in my project with success.
the only problem is that doesn't work with expo go and to test the page where it is used you had to do a development build.

This resolve problem expo SDK 50

I get the error directly after running "npm install rn-pdf-reader-js". The proposed solutions don't work in my case. Anyone else had the same problem?
