I want to hide sidebar. Please give me your suggestions.

What about just by default making it hidden vs expanded? That seems like it should be some kind of a parameter or very easy change. Unfortunately the viewer.js is like 13,000 lines of code. I can't find where to keep it collapsed.

You can make a custom build where you remove the sidebar HTML elements and the JavaScript code that initializes the sidebar, which is https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/master/web/app.js#L383-L403 amongst other usages in that file.

Theoretically, it can be reached by a corresponding option in the URL hash: https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Viewer-options It also works with the example implementation: https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html#page=2&pagemode=none (pagemode=none is the switch in question). However, it doesn't work for me in a slightly more involved setting (pdf.js embedded in an iframe whose src is set dynamically)...
