With these changes, we'll now *always* replace all whitespaces with standard spaces (0x20). This behaviour is already, since many years, the default in both the viewer and the browser-tests.
This `disableCreateObjectURL` option was originally introduced all the way back in PR 4103 (eight years ago), in order to work-around `URL.createObjectURL()`-bugs specific to Internet Explorer.
In PR 8081 (five years ago) the `disableCreateObjectURL` option was extended to cover Google Chrome on iOS-devices as well, since that configuration apparently also suffered from `URL.createObjectURL()`-bugs.[1]
At this point in time, I thus think that it makes sense to re-evaluate if we should still keep the `disableCreateObjectURL` option.
- For Internet Explorer, support was explicitly removed in PDF.js version `2.7.570` which was released one year ago and all IE-specific compatibility code (and polyfills) have since been removed.
- For Google Chrome on iOS-devices, while we still "support" such configurations, it's *not* the focus of any development and platform-specific bugs are thus often closed as WONTFIX.
Note here that at this point in time, the `disableCreateObjectURL` option is *only* being used in the viewer and any `URL.createObjectURL()`-bugs browser/platform bugs will thus not affect the main PDF.js library. Furthermore, given where the `disableCreateObjectURL` option is being used in the viewer the basic functionality should also remain unaffected by these changes.[2]
Furthermore, it's also possible that the `URL.createObjectURL()`-bugs have been fixed in *browser* itself since PR 8081 was submitted.[3]
Obviously you could argue that this isn't a lot of code, w.r.t. number of lines, and you'd be technically correct. However, it does add additional complexity in a few different viewer components which thus add overhead when reading and working with this code.
Finally, assuming the `URL.createObjectURL()`-bugs are still present in Google Chrome on iOS-devices, I think that we should ask ourselves if it's reasonable for the PDF.js project (and its contributors) to keep attempting to support a configuration if the *browser* developers still haven't fixed these kind of bugs!?

[1] According to https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-html5/RKQ0ZJIj7c4, which is linked in PR 8081, that bug was mentioned/reported as early as the 2014 (eight years ago).
[2] Viewer functionality such as e.g. downloading and printing may be affected.
[3] I don't have access to any iOS-devices to test with.
This patch, first of all, removes circular dependencies in the TypeScript definitions. Secondly, it also moves `RenderingStates` into `web/ui_utils.js` to break another type-dependency and directly use the `XfaLayerBuilder` during XFA-printing.
Finally, note that this patch *slightly* reduces the size of the default viewer (e.g. in the `MOZCENTRAL` build) by not having to bundle code which is completely unused.
This patch circumvents the issues seen when trying to update TypeScript to version `4.5`, by "simply" fixing the broken/missing JSDocs and `typedef`s such that `gulp typestest` now passes.
As always, given that I don't really know anything about TypeScript, I cannot tell if this is a "correct" and/or proper way of doing things; we'll need TypeScript users to help out with testing!
*Please note:* I'm sorry about the size of this patch, but given how intertwined all of this unfortunately is it just didn't seem easy to split this into smaller parts.
However, one good thing about this TypeScript update is that it helped uncover a number of pre-existing bugs in our JSDocs comments.
For encrypted PDF documents without the required permissions set, this patch adds support for disabling of form editing. However, please note that it also requires that the `pdfjs.enablePermissions` preference is set to `true`[1] (since PDF document permissions could be seen as user hostile).
Based on https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#G6.1942134, this condition hopefully makes sense.

This patch preserves the old behaviour of appending a `loadingIcon`-div to all pages that are not yet loaded/rendered. However, the actual `loadingIcon`-spinner (i.e. the `loading-icon.gif` image) will only be displayed on *visible* pages to improve performance.
To avoid having to iterate through all pages in the document, which doesn't seem like a good idea for a PDF document with thousands of pages, we use a combination of the currently visible *and* cached pages to toggle the `loadingIcon`-spinner.
- First step to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1737260;
- several interactive pdfs use the possibility to hide/show buttons to show different icons;
- render pushbuttons on their own canvas and then insert it the annotation_layer;
- update test/driver.js in order to convert canvases for pushbuttons into images.
The only reason for using a `DocumentFragment` in the first place, originally added in PR 8724, was to prevent errors in the `PDFPageView`-constructor. However, we should be able to simply make its `container`-option *optional* instead, since it's not being used for anything else in the class.
Note that pre-rendering still works correctly in my testing, and given that the `BaseViewer` keeps references to all `PDFPageView`-instances (via its `_pages` Array) it also shouldn't be possible to "lose" any pages/canvases this way.
Many years ago now there were some `Promise` implementations that had issues resolving with an *implicitly* `undefined` value. That should no longer be the case, and we've not been using the `Promise.resolve(undefined)` format for a long time, hence this patch fixes the few remaining cases.
This replaces direct `document.getElementsByName` lookups with a helper method which:
- Lets the AnnotationLayer use the data returned by the `PDFDocumentProxy.getFieldObjects` API-method, such that we can directly lookup only the necessary DOM elements.
- Fallback to using `document.getElementsByName` as before, such that e.g. the standalone viewer components still work.
Finally, to fix the problems reported in issue 14003, regardless of the code-path we now also enforce that the DOM elements found were actually created by the AnnotationLayer code.
With these changes we'll thus be able to update form elements on all visible pages just as before, but we'll additionally update the AnnotationStorage for not-yet-rendered elements thus fixing a pre-existing bug.
Rather than re-computing this value in a number of different places throughout the code-base[1], we can expose this in the API via the existing `PixelsPerInch`-structure instead.
There's also been feature requests asking for the old `CSS_UNITS` viewer constant to be made accessible, such that it could be used in third-party implementations.
I suppose that it could be argued that it's somewhat confusing to place a unitless property in `PixelsPerInch`, however given that the `PDF_TO_CSS_UNITS`-property is defined strictly in terms of the existing properties this is hopefully deemed reasonable.
---
[1] These include:
- The viewer, with the `CSS_UNITS` name.
- The reference-tests.
- The display-layer, when rendering images; see PR 13991.
The old `update`-signature started to annoy me back when I added optional content support to the viewer, since we're (often) forced to pass in a bunch of arguments that we don't care about whenever these methods are called.
This is tagged `api-minor` since `PDFPageView` is being used in the `pageviewer` component example, and it's thus possible that these changes could affect some users; the next commit adds fallback handling for the old format.
While e.g. the `simpleviewer` and `singlepageviewer` examples work, since they're based on the `BaseViewer`-class, the standalone `pageviewer` example currently doesn't support either XFA- or StructTree-layers. This seems like an obvious oversight, which can be easily addressed simply by exporting the necessary functionality through `pdf_viewer.component.js`, similar to the existing Text/Annotation-layers.
While working on, and testing, these changes I happened to notice a number of smaller things that's also fixed in this patch:
- Ensure that `XfaLayerBuilder.render` always have a *consistent* return type, to prevent possible run-time failures in `PDFPageView`; PR 13908 follow-up.
- Change the order of the options in the `XfaLayerBuilder`-constructor to agree with the parameter order in the `DefaultXfaLayerFactory.createXfaLayerBuilder`-method.
- Add a missing `textHighlighterFactory`-option, in the JSDocs for the `PDFPageView`-class.
- A couple of small tweaks in the `TextLayerBuilder.render`-method: Re-use an existing Array rather than creating a new one, and replace an `if` with optional chaining instead.
*Please note:* For now XFA-support is currently disabled by default, similar to the regular viewer.
The Viewer API definitions do not compile because of missing imports and
anonymous objects are typed as `Object`. These issues were not caught
during CI because the test project was not compiling anything from the
Viewer API.
As an example of the first problem:
```
/**
* @implements MyInterface
*/
export class MyClass {
...
}
```
will generate a broken definition that doesn’t import MyInterface:
```
/**
* @implements MyInterface
*/
export class MyClass implements MyInterface {
...
}
```
This can be fixed by adding a typedef jsdoc to specify the import:
```
/** @typedef {import("./otherFile").MyInterface} MyInterface */
```
See https://github.com/jsdoc/jsdoc/issues/1537 and
https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/22160 for more details.
As an example of the second problem:
```
/**
* Gets the size of the specified page, converted from PDF units to inches.
* @param {Object} An Object containing the properties: {Array} `view`,
* {number} `userUnit`, and {number} `rotate`.
*/
function getPageSizeInches({ view, userUnit, rotate }) {
...
}
```
generates the broken definition:
```
function getPageSizeInches({ view, userUnit, rotate }: Object) {
...
}
```
The jsdoc should specify the type of each nested property:
```
/**
* Gets the size of the specified page, converted from PDF units to inches.
* @param {Object} options An object containing the properties: {Array} `view`,
* {number} `userUnit`, and {number} `rotate`.
* @param {number[]} options.view
* @param {number} options.userUnit
* @param {number} options.rotate
*/
```
*This is a follow-up to PRs 13867 and 13899.*
This patch is tagged `api-minor` for the following reasons:
- It replaces the `renderInteractiveForms`/`includeAnnotationStorage`-options, in the `PDFPageProxy.render`-method, with the single `annotationMode`-option that controls which annotations are being rendered and how. Note that the old options were mutually exclusive, and setting both to `true` would result in undefined behaviour.
- For improved consistency in the API, the `annotationMode`-option will also work together with the `PDFPageProxy.getOperatorList`-method.
- It's now also possible to disable *all* annotation rendering in both the API and the Viewer, since the other changes meant that this could now be supported with a single added line on the worker-thread[1]; fixes 7282.
---
[1] Please note that in order to simplify the overall implementation, we'll purposely only support disabling of *all* annotations and that the option is being shared between the API and the Viewer. For any more "specialized" use-cases, where e.g. only some annotation-types are being rendered and/or the API and Viewer render different sets of annotations, that'll have to be handled in third-party implementations/forks of the PDF.js code-base.
Moves the logic out of TextLayerBuilder to handle
highlighting matches into a new separate class `TextHighlighter`
that can be used with regular PDFs and XFA PDFs.
To mimic the current find functionality in XFA, two arrays
from the XFA rendering are created to get the text content
and map those to DOM nodes.
Fixes#13878
Without this patch, when using `PDFPageView` directly[1] this CSS variable won't be updated and consequently things won't work as intended.
This is purposely implemented such that when a `PDFPageView`-instance is part of a viewer, we don't repeatedly set the CSS variable for every single page.
---
[1] See e.g. the "pageviewer" example in the `examples/components/` folder.
Given that we've over time been reducing the number of `compatibilityParams` in use, there's now few enough left that I think it makes sense to simply inline them directly in the `web/app_options.js` file.
Note that we recently inlined/removed the separate `src/display/api_compatibility.js` file, see PR 13525, and that it (in my opinion) thus makes sense to do the same in the `web/`-folder. This patch will also slightly reduce the size of *built* `web/viewer.js` file, which cannot hurt.
There's no good reason, as far as I can tell, to have `PDFPageView.reset` attempt to cancel `annotationLayer`/`xfaLayer` rendering in one special-case (this is mostly a leftover from older code). Previously cancelling was moved into the separate `PDFPageView.cancelRendering`-method, and by slightly tweaking the conditions there we're able to remove a bit of now unnecessary code from the `PDFPageView.reset`-method.
Originally the `xfaLayer` wasn't implemented in such a way that it supported being removed from the DOM when pages were evicted from the cache, however this limitation was lifted in PR 13427 and the `xfaLayer` should thus be handled similar to e.g. the `annotationLayer`.
In addition to removing the `xfaLayer` from the DOM, this patch *also* implements proper rendering/hiding-handling for it (mirroring the `annotationLayer`-code).
*Please note:* This patch is tagged API-minor just in case[1], since it changes the signatures of a couple of `PDFPageView`-methods to improve readability of the code.
---
[1] Although users are *hopefully* not directly accessing any of the affected methods, and are rather using e.g. `PDFViewer` in which case none of these changes will matter.
Reasons for the removal include:
- This functionality was always somewhat experimental and has never been enabled by default, partly because of worries about rendering bugs caused by e.g. bad/outdated graphics drivers.
- After the initial implementation, in PR 4286 (back in 2014), no additional functionality has been added to the WebGL implementation.
- The vast majority of all documents do not benefit from WebGL rendering, since only a couple of *specific* features are supported (e.g. some Soft Masks and Patterns).
- There is, and has always been, *zero* test-coverage for the WebGL implementation.
- Overall performance, in the PDF.js library, has improved since the experimental WebGL implementation was added.
Rather than shipping unused *and* untested code, it seems reasonable to simply remove the WebGL implementation for now; thanks to version control it's always possible to bring back the code should the need ever arise.
Given that both the textLayer rendering *and* the structTree parsing is asynchronous, it's possible that we'll attempt to insert the structTree in a removed page. While there's thankfully no outright breakage caused by this, it will nonetheless lead to errors being printed in the console and we should obviously avoid this.
To reproduce this bug (without the patch), open http://localhost:8888/web/viewer.html?file=/test/pdfs/pdf.pdf#disableStream=true&disableAutoFetch=true and scroll *very quickly* through the document and notice the following error being (intermittently) printed in the console:
```
Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: can't access property "appendChild", this.canvas is undefined
```
This is first of all consistent with existing API-methods, where we return `null` when the data in question doesn't exist. Secondly, it should also be (slightly) more efficient since there's less dummy-data that we need to transfer between threads.
Finally, this prevents us from adding an empty/unnecessary span to *every* single page even in documents without any structure tree data.
When a PDF is "marked" we now generate a separate DOM that represents
the structure tree from the PDF. This DOM is inserted into the <canvas>
element and allows screen readers to walk the tree and have more
information about headings, images, links, etc. To link the structure
tree DOM (which is empty) to the text layer aria-owns is used. This
required modifying the text layer creation so that marked items are
now tracked.
Scripting, as implemented, requires access to a complete document/viewer in order to work. Hence it doesn't really make sense to keep the `enableScripting`-option on `PDFPageView`-instances.[1]
---
[1] Note that there's the `PDFSinglePageViewer`, which can be used in cases where you want access to all features/functionality of the viewer but only display *one* page at a time.
- add an option to enable XFA rendering if any;
- for now, let the canvas layer: it could be useful to implement XFAF forms (embedded pdf in xml stream for the background and xfa form for the foreground);
- ui elements in template DOM are pretty close to their html counterpart so we generate a fake html DOM from template one:
- it makes easier to translate template properties to html ones;
- it makes faster the creation of the html element in the main thread.
The *main* purpose of this patch is to allow scripting to be used together with the viewer components, note the updated "simpleviewer"/"singlepageviewer" examples, in addition to the full default viewer.
Given how the scripting functionality is currently implemented in the default viewer, trying to re-use this with the standalone viewer components would be *very* hard and ideally you'd want it to work out-of-the-box.
For an initial implementation, in the default viewer, of the scripting functionality it probably made sense to simply dump all of the code in the `app.js` file, however that cannot be used with the viewer components.
To address this, the functionality is moved into a new `PDFScriptingManager` class which can thus be handled in the same way as all other viewer components (and e.g. be passed to the `BaseViewer`-implementations).
Obviously the scripting functionality needs quite a lot of data, during its initialization, and for the default viewer we want to maintain the current way of doing the lookups since that helps avoid a number of redundant API-calls.
To that end, the `PDFScriptingManager` implementation accepts (optional) factories/functions such that we can maintain the current behaviour for the default viewer. For the viewer components specifically, fallback code-paths are provided to ensure that scripting will "just work"[1].
Besides moving the viewer handling of the scripting code to its own file/class, this patch also takes the opportunity to re-factor the functionality into a number of helper methods to improve overall readability[2].
Note that it's definitely possible that the `PDFScriptingManager` class could be improved even further (e.g. for general re-use), since it's still heavily tailored to the default viewer use-case, however I believe that this patch is still a good step forward overall.
---
[1] Obviously *all* the relevant document properties might not be available in the viewer components use-case (e.g. the various URLs), but most things should work just fine.
[2] The old `PDFViewerApplication._initializeJavaScript` method, where everything was simply inlined, have over time (in my opinion) become quite large and somewhat difficult to *easily* reason about.
Rather than having to spell out the English fallback strings at *every* single `IL10n.get` call-site throughout the viewer, we can simplify things by collecting them in *one* central spot.
This provides a much better overview of the fallback l10n strings used, which makes future changes easier and ensures that fallback strings occuring in multiple places cannot accidentally get out of sync.
Furthermore, by making the `fallback` parameter of the `IL10n.get` method *optional*[1] many of the call-sites (and their surrounding code) become a lot less verbose.
---
[1] It's obviously still possible to pass in a fallback string, it's just not required.
Note that this particular helper function is, with the exception of the `GENERIC` default viewer and the (unsupported) SVG-backend, mostly unused at this point in time. Hence we should be able to clean-up this helper function slightly.
Also, fixes a small inconsistency in the `SVGGraphics` initialization in the viewer, by passing in the `disableCreateObjectURL` compatibility-option. Given that the SVG-backend isn't officially supported/recommended this shouldn't have been an issue, but given that I spotted this it can't hurt to fix it.
I happened to look at this code, and I can't for the life of me figure out why I didn't just implement it like this patch in the first place (since the current format feels overly verbose).
- Actually remove the `isDown` property when destroying the scripting-instance.
- Mark all `mouseState` usage as "private" in the various classes.
- Ensure that the `AnnotationLayer` actually treats the parameter as properly *optional*, the same way that the viewer components do.
- For now remove the `mouseState` parameter from the `PDFPageView` class, and keep it only on the `BaseViewer`, since it's questionable if all of the scripting-functionality will work all that well without e.g. a full `BaseViewer`.
- Append the `mouseState` to the JSDoc for the `AnnotationElement` class, and just move its definition into the base-`AnnotationElement` class.
- Add support for logical assignment operators, i.e. `&&=`, `||=`, and `??=`, with a Babel-plugin. Given that these required incrementing the ECMAScript version in the ESLint and Acorn configurations, and that platform/browser support is still fairly limited, always transpiling them seems appropriate for now.
- Cache the `hasJSActions` promise in the API, similar to the existing `getAnnotations` caching. With this implemented, the lookup should now be cheap enough that it can be called unconditionally in the viewer.
- Slightly improve cleanup of resources when destroying the `WorkerTransport`.
- Remove the `annotationStorage`-property from the `PDFPageView` constructor, since it's not necessary and also brings it more inline with the `BaseViewer`.
- Update the `BaseViewer.createAnnotationLayerBuilder` method to actaually agree with the `IPDFAnnotationLayerFactory` interface.[1]
- Slightly tweak a couple of JSDoc comments.
---
[1] We probably ought to re-factor both the `IPDFTextLayerFactory` and `IPDFAnnotationLayerFactory` interfaces to take parameter objects instead, since especially the `IPDFAnnotationLayerFactory` one is becoming quite unwieldy. Given that that would likely be a breaking change for any custom viewer-components implementation, this probably requires careful deprecation.
* When no actions then set it to null instead of empty object
* Even if a field has no actions, it needs to listen to events from the sandbox in order to be updated if an action changes something in it.
Given that the default viewer only uses the "page stats" when debugging is enabled, it seems much simpler and more straightforward to simply query the API *directly* when this information is actually required. That way, there's a bit less information that needs to be stored/updated on each `PDFPageView`-instance.
Finally, since the `EventBus` now exists, we no longer need to handle the "page stats"-case in the regular listeners in `web/app.js`, but can instead add special "page stats"-listeners only when debugging is enabled.
The way that rendering errors are handled in `PDFPageView` is *very* old, and predates e.g. the introduction of the `EventBus` by several years.
Hence we should be able to simplify things a bit here, by including the Error (when it exists) in the "pagerendered" event and thus avoid having to reach into `PDFPageView` for it.
*Besides, obviously, adding viewer support:* This patch attempts to improve the general API for Optional Content Groups slightly, by adding a couple of new methods for interacting with the (more complex) data structures of `OptionalContentConfig`-instances. (Thus allowing us to mark some of the data as "private", given that it probably shouldn't be manipulated directly.)
By utilizing not just the "raw" Optional Content Groups, but the data from the `/Order` array when available, we can thus display the Layers in a proper tree-structure with collapsible headings for PDF documents that utilizes that feature.
Note that it's possible to reset all Optional Content Groups to their default visibility state, simply by double-clicking on the Layers-button in the sidebar.
(Currently that's indicated in the Layers-button tooltip, which is obviously easy to overlook, however it's probably the best we can do for now without adding more buttons, or even a dropdown-toolbar, to the sidebar.)
Also, the current Layers-button icons are a little rough around the edges, quite literally, but given that the viewer will soon have its UI modernized anyway they hopefully suffice in the meantime.
To give users *full* control of the visibility of the various Optional Content Groups, even those which according to the `/Order` array should not (by default) be toggleable in the UI, this patch will place those under a *custom* heading which:
- Is collapsed by default, and placed at the bottom of the Layers-tree, to be a bit less obtrusive.
- Uses a slightly different formatting, compared to the "regular" headings.
- Is localizable.
Finally, note that the thumbnails are *purposely* always rendered with all Optional Content Groups at their default visibility state, since that seems the most useful and it's also consistent with other viewers.
To ensure that this works as intended, we'll thus disable the `PDFThumbnailView.setImage` functionality when the Optional Content Groups have been changed in the viewer. (This obviously means that we'll re-render thumbnails instead of using the rendered pages. However, this situation ought to be rare enough for this to not really be a problem.)
Given that `renderInteractiveForms` is now enabled by default in "full" viewer, it seems reasonable to enable it by default in the viewer components as well.
Especially considering that it's simple to disable, when creating the affected components, for anyone implementing their own viewer.
This is needed for some smoke tests in mozilla central for testing forms
in pdf.js.
Note: AnnotationLayerBuilder.render() doesn't really need to be async, but
we're talking of making the annotation's render functions async, so this
will make that switch easier.
Please note that these changes were done automatically, using `gulp lint --fix`.
Given that the major version number was increased, there's a fair number of (primarily whitespace) changes; please see https://prettier.io/blog/2020/03/21/2.0.0.html
In order to reduce the size of these changes somewhat, this patch maintains the old "arrowParens" style for now (once mozilla-central updates Prettier we can simply choose the same formatting, assuming it will differ here).
The correct/intended way of working with the "viewer components" is by providing an `EventBus` instance upon initialization, and the `getGlobalEventBus` was only added for backwards compatibility.
Note, for example, that using `getGlobalEventBus` doesn't really work at all well with a use-case where there's *multiple* `PDFViewer` instances on a one page, since it may then be difficult/impossible to tell which viewer a particular event originated from.
All of the "viewer components" examples have been previously updated, such that there's no longer any code/examples which relies on the now removed `getGlobalEventBus` functionality.
This property has never been documented and/or *intentionally* exposed through the API, instead the `PDFPageProxy.pageNumber` property is the documented/intended API to use here.
Hence pageIndex is changed to a "private" property on `PDFPageProxy` instances, and internal API functionality is also updated to *consistently* use `this._pageIndex` rather than a mix of formats.
To avoid outright breaking third-party usages of the "viewer components" the `getGlobalEventBus` functionality is left intact, but a deprecation message is printed if the function is invoked.
The various examples are updated to *explicitly* initialize an `EventBus` instance, and provide that when initializing the relevant viewer components.
After PR 9566, which removed all of the old Firefox extension code, the `FIREFOX` build flag is no longer used for anything.
It thus seems to me that it should be removed, for a couple of reasons:
- It's simply dead code now, which only serves to add confusion when looking at the `PDFJSDev` calls.
- It used to be that `MOZCENTRAL` and `FIREFOX` was *almost* always used together. However, ever since PR 9566 there's obviously been no effort put into keeping the `FIREFOX` build flags up to date.
- In the event that a new, Webextension based, Firefox addon is created in the future you'd still need to audit all `MOZCENTRAL` (and possibly `CHROME`) build flags to see what'd make sense for the addon.
As described in the issue, having a DOM element with `id=page2` (or any other number) will automatically cause that element to become linkable through the URL hash. That's currently leading to some confusing and outright wrong behaviour, since it obviously only works for pages that have been loaded and rendered.
For PDF documents the only officially supported way to reference a particular page through the URL hash is using the `#page=2` format, which also works for all pages regardless if they're loaded or not.
As far as I can tell there's nothing in the PDF.js default viewer that actually depends on the page/thumbnail `id` at this point in time, hence why I believe that this removal ought to be safe.
Just as a pre-caution this patch adds an `aria-label` to the page canvas, similar to the thumbnail canvas/image, to at least keep this information in the DOM.
In order to eventually get rid of SystemJS and start using native `import`s instead, we'll need to provide "complete" file identifiers since otherwise there'll be MIME type errors when attempting to use `import`.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/prefer-const
Note that this patch is generated automatically, by using the ESLint `--fix` argument, and will thus require some additional clean-up (which is done separately).
This patch makes the follow changes:
- Remove no longer necessary inline `// eslint-disable-...` comments.
- Fix `// eslint-disable-...` comments that Prettier moved down, thus causing new linting errors.
- Concatenate strings which now fit on just one line.
- Fix comments that are now too long.
- Finally, and most importantly, adjust comments that Prettier moved down, since the new positions often is confusing or outright wrong.
Note that Prettier, purposely, has only limited [configuration options](https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html). The configuration file is based on [the one in `mozilla central`](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/.prettierrc) with just a few additions (to avoid future breakage if the defaults ever changes).
Prettier is being used for a couple of reasons:
- To be consistent with `mozilla-central`, where Prettier is already in use across the tree.
- To ensure a *consistent* coding style everywhere, which is automatically enforced during linting (since Prettier is used as an ESLint plugin). This thus ends "all" formatting disussions once and for all, removing the need for review comments on most stylistic matters.
Many ESLint options are now redundant, and I've tried my best to remove all the now unnecessary options (but I may have missed some).
Note also that since Prettier considers the `printWidth` option as a guide, rather than a hard rule, this patch resorts to a small hack in the ESLint config to ensure that *comments* won't become too long.
*Please note:* This patch is generated automatically, by appending the `--fix` argument to the ESLint call used in the `gulp lint` task. It will thus require some additional clean-up, which will be done in a *separate* commit.
(On a more personal note, I'll readily admit that some of the changes Prettier makes are *extremely* ugly. However, in the name of consistency we'll probably have to live with that.)
This functionality is very old, and pre-dates e.g. the introduction of the `EventBus` by a number of years. Rather than attaching two callback functions to every single `PDFPageView` instance, it's thus now possible to utilize the `EventBus` such that you only need a grand total of two listeners to achieve the same result.
For the `onAfterDraw` callback the replacement is particularly simple, given that a 'pagerendered' event is already being dispatched in the appropriate spot. An added benefit here is the ability to remove the event listener, since we only ever care about *one* (arbitrary) page being rendered for the `BaseViewer.onePageRendered` promise.
For the `onBeforeDraw` callback, a new 'pagerender' event was thus added to replace the callback.
Currently these methods are only used from the respective `reset` methods, and from `{BaseViewer, PDFThumbnailViewer}._cancelRendering` which only runs when the active document is closed.
This patch changes `{PDFPageView, PDFThumbnailView}.cancelRendering` to *only* cancel any pending rendering operations, and doesn't attempt to reset e.g. the `renderingState`, since that causes visual glitches (duplicated canvases in the viewer) when called directly.
Furthermore, unless you "know" what you're doing, the `{PDFPageView, PDFThumbnailView}.reset` methods are what *should* normally be used instead.
This implements the nice suggestion from https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/10099#discussion_r219698000, which I at the time didn't think would work.
I'll probably have to plead temporary insanity here, since it *should* have been totally obvious to me how this could be implemented. By simply not registering the event until the `textLayer` is actually rendered, removing the event on `cancel` works just fine.
This patch also removes the `pagecancelled` event, given that it's no longer used anywhere in the code-base and that its implemention was flawed since it wasn't guaranteed to be called in *every* situation where rendering was actually cancelled.
This piggybacks of the existing `cancel` functionality, to ensure that any pending operations are closed *and* that any temporary canvases are actually being removed.
Also simplifies `finishPaintTask` in `PDFPageView.draw` slightly, by converting it to an async function.
If, as PR 10368 suggests, more parameters should be added to `getViewport` I think that it would be a mistake to not change the signature *first* to avoid needlessly unwieldy call-sites.
To not break any existing code and third-party use-cases, this is obviously implemented with a deprecation warning *and* with a working fallback[1] for the old method signature.

[1] This is limited to `GENERIC` builds, which should be sufficient.
Rather than having two different (but connected) options for the textLayer, I think that it makes sense to try and unify this. For example: currently if `disableTextLayer === true`, then the value of `enhanceTextSelection` is simply ignored.
Since PDF.js version `2.0` already won't be backwards compatible in lots of ways, I don't think that we need to worry about migrating existing preferences here.
This removes the `PDFJS.imageResourcesPath` dependency from the viewer components and the test-suite, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
This removes the `PDFJS.maxCanvasPixels` dependency from the viewer components, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
This removes the `PDFJS.useOnlyCssZoom` dependency from the viewer components, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
It is only used in a few places to handle prefixing style properties if
necessary. However, we used it only for `transform`, `transformOrigin`
and `borderRadius`, which according to Can I Use are supported natively
(unprefixed) in the browsers that PDF.js 2.0 supports. Therefore, we can
remove this class, which should help performance too since this avoids
extra function calls in parts of the code that are called often.
I don't know if this is a regression, but I noticed earlier today that depending on the initial scale *and* sidebar state, the `annotationLayer` of the first rendered page may end up duplicated; please see screen-shot below.
[screen-shot]
I can reproduce this reliable with e.g. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1112.0542v1.pdf#zoom=page-width&pagemode=bookmarks.
When the document loads, rendering of the first page begins immediately. When the sidebar is then opened, that forces re-rendering which thus aborts rendering of the first page.
Note that calling `PDFPageView.draw()` will always, provided an `AnnotationLayerFactory` instance exists, call `AnnotationLayerBuilder.render()`. Hence the events described above will result in *two* such calls, where the actual annotation rendering/updating happens asynchronously.
For reasons that I don't (at all) understand, when multiple `pdfPage.getAnnotations()` promises are handled back-to-back (in `AnnotationLayerBuilder.render()`), the `this.div` property seems to not update in time for the subsequent calls.
This thus, at least in Firefox, result in double rendering of all annotations on the first page.
Obviously it'd be good to find out why it breaks, since it *really* shouldn't, but this patch at least provides a (hopefully) acceptable work-around by ignoring `getAnnotations()` calls for `AnnotationLayerBuilder` instances that we're destroying (in `PDFPageView.reset()`).
*This is an existing issue that I noticed while testing PR 8552.*
When zooming or rotation occurs, we'll try to use the current canvas as a (CSS transformed) preview until the page has been completely re-drawn.
If you manage to change the scale (or rotation) *very* quickly, it's possible that `PDFPageView.update` can be called *before* a previous `render` operation has progressed far enough to remove the `hidden` property from the canvas.
The result is thus that a page may be *entirely* black during zooming or rotation, which doesn't look very good. This effect can be a bit difficult to spot, but it does manifest even in the default viewer.
This patch adds Streams API support in getTextContent
so that we can stream data in chunks instead of fetching
whole data from worker thread to main thread. This patch
supports Streams API without changing the core functionality
of getTextContent.
Enqueue textContent directly at getTextContent in partialEvaluator.
Adds desiredSize and ready property in streamSink.
This method is currently called from `PDFViewer._scrollUpdate` on *every* scroll event in the viewer.
However, I cannot see why this code is now necessary (assuming that it once was), since text-selection and searching still works *exactly* the same way with this patch as with the current `master`.
When `PDFPageView.updatePosition` is called, the page can be in either of these states:
1. The page hasn't been rendered, in which case the `textLayer` property doesn't exist yet.
2. The page is currently rendering, meaning that the `textLayer` property exists. Given that the `textContent` won't be fetched until the page has been successfully rendered, `TextLayerBuilder.render` will return immediately and effectively be a no-op (since there's nothing to render yet).
3. The has been been rendered, and the `textLayer` is currently rendering.
4. The page, and its `textLayer`, has been completely rendered. In this case, `TextLayerBuilder.render` will return immediately and effectively be a no-op.
Here, only the *third* case seem to require any further analysis:
When scrolling occurs while the `textLayer` is rendering, `TextLayerBuilder.render` will via a helper method call `TextLayerRenderTask.cancel` (in src/display/text_layer.js) to stop processing.
However, due to the run-to-completion nature of JavaScript, once `TextLayerRenderTask._render` has been invoked `appendText` will always run.[1]
So even though we cancel rendering of pending `textLayer`s during scrolling, via the repeated `TextLayerBuilder.render` calls from within the `PDFPageView.updatePosition` method, that does *not* prevent us from running the code inside of `TextLayerRenderTask._render` over and over for the *same* page; which all seems *very* inefficient to me.[2]
All this will thus have the effect of delaying the *actual* rendering of a `textLayer` ever so slightly while scrolling in the viewer. However, it does so at the expense of potentially hundreds of unnecessary `appendText` calls.[3]
Hence it seems to me that it's less resource intensive overall to simply let rendering of the `textLayer` complete, once it has started. Obviously, we still abort all rendering of a page, and its `textLayer`, when it's being destroyed (e.g. by being evicted from the page cache).
In case that there's any worry that the patch could affect e.g. highlighting of search results, please note that the existing code in `TextLayerBuilder.render` already calls `updateMatches` when the `TextLayerTask` resolves successfully.
*I'm sorry that this became quite long, but to try and summarize:*
`PDFPageView.updatePosition` doesn't actually do anything in *most* cases. In the one case where it matters, it seems that it's actually doing more harm than good; which is why I'm proposing that we just remove it.

[1] Although we may be able to skip the `render` call, provided that it happens *after* a `timeout` (as is the case in the default viewer).
[2] With current work being done to support streaming of `TextContent`, we'd also need to add just as many duplicate API calls to `PDFPageView.updatePosition`.
[3] The number of duplicate `appendText` calls is directly proportional not only to the scroll speed, but also to the number of pages in the document.
Also replaces `var` with `let` in code that's touched in the patch. Please note that this should be completely safe, for two separate reasons, since trying to access let in a scope where it's not defined is first of all a runtime error and second of all an ESLint error (thanks to the `no-undef` rule).
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/object-shorthand.
For the most part, these changes are of the search-and-replace kind, and the previously enabled `no-undef` rule should complement the tests in helping ensure that no stupid errors crept into to the patch.
In various viewer files, there's a number of cases where we basically duplicate the functionality of `createPromiseCapability` manually.
As far as I can tell, a couple of these cases have existed for a very long time, and notable even before the `createPromiseCapability` utility function existed.
Also, since we can write ES6 code now, the patch also replaces a couple of `bind` usages with arrow functions in code that's touched in the patch.
Note that as discussed on IRC, this makes the viewer slightly slower to load *only* in `gulp server` mode, however the difference seem slight enough that I think it will be fine.
This patch gets rid of the only case in the code-base where we're throwing a plain `string`, rather than an `Error`, which besides better/more consistent error handling also allows us to enable the [`no-throw-literal`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-throw-literal) ESLint rule.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-unused-vars; note that this patch purposely uses the same rule options as in `mozilla-central`, such that it fixes part of issue 7957.
It wasn't, in my opinion, entirely straightforward to enable this rule compared to the already existing rules. In many cases a `var descriptiveName = ...` format was used (more or less) to document the code, and I choose to place the old variable name in a trailing comment to not lose that information.
I welcome feedback on these changes, since it wasn't always entirely easy to know what changes made the most sense in every situation.
*This fixes a regression from commit c9a0955c9c, i.e. PR 7738.*
Currently if you quickly rotate a document at least *twice*,[1] such that rendering of a page hasn't finished for the first rotation before the last rotation is triggered, the `cssTransform` method can fail to update the page correctly leading to it looking temporarily distorted.
The reason why things break is that previously we stored the `viewport` on the canvas DOM element, meaning that when it was accessed in `cssTransform` is was guaranteed to point to the `viewport` of the `zoomLayer` canvas.
Generally you want to avoid storing data on DOM elements this way, and during the `PDFPageView` refactoring needed to support SVG rendering, the previous `viewport` was instead stored directly on `PDFPageView`.
However, the problem is first of all that the `paintedViewport` only stores the *last* `viewport` computed, and second of all that there're no guarantees that it actually applies to the current `zoomLayer` canvas.
If a document is rotated slowly enough that rendering finishes *before* the next rotation then this problem doesn't exist, but for sufficiently quick rotations rendering will be cancelled at least once and the `paintedViewport` could thus be bogus.
The solution for the above problems is to ensure that we track the correct `viewport` for each DOM element (canvas or svg),[2] which seemed easist to do with a `WeakMap`.[3]
---
[1] I'm able to reproduce this using the `tracemonkey` file, but please note that for pages with few operations, i.e. that render very quickly, the effect may be hard to spot.
[2] One other possible solution that I briefly considered, was to wait until rendering finished before storing the current `viewport`. However, that would have caused issues with rotating a page before the *first* rendering operation had finished.
[3] This regression took me way longer to both figure out, and fix, than I'd like to admit :-)
Using `else` after `return` is not necessary, and can often lead to unnecessarily cluttered code. By using the `no-else-return` rule in ESLint we can avoid this pattern, see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-else-return.
As mentioned on IRC yesterday, we currently throw even when rendering is `cancelled`, which is annoying when the devtools are active. Furthermore, since `cancelled` isn't really an error, rejecting the `PDFPageView_draw` promise seems somewhat strange in that case.
Currently if you try to enable SVG rendering in the addons, a `TypeError` is thrown by the browser since we have code that depends on what `paintOnCanvas`/`paintOnSvg` (should) return.
If interactive forms are enabled, then the display layer takes care of
rendering the form elements. There is no need to draw them on the canvas
as well. This also leads to issues when values are prefilled, because
the text fields are transparent, so the contents that have been rendered
onto the canvas will be visible too.
We address this issue by passing the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter
to the render task and handling it when the page is rendered (i.e., when
the canvas is rendered).
1. Expanding divs to improve text selection. (Yury)
2. Adding enhanceTextSelection as an option.
3. Moving feature functionality from text_layer_builder.js to text_layer.js.
4. Added expandTextDivs method to only load expanded divs on first click, and only show on subsequent clicks
From the discussion in issue 7445, it seems that there may be cases where an API consumer would want to get the text content as is, without combined text items.
These have been found using `gulp lint` in combination with the `unused:
true` parameter for JSHint. Unfortunately there are too many false
positives to enable this feature, but now that most globals have been
removed because of the conversion to UMD the results are much more
useful than before.
I've seen the above error occasionally when the scale is updated many times in quick succession, but I've not been able to pinpoint exactly why it happens.
Since the error isn't caught, this means that the `pageViewDrawCallback` function doesn't run to completion.
Unfortunately, given the very intermittent nature of the issue, I haven't got any good STR for reliably reproducing this issue. However, I hope that this patch can be accepted anyway, since it's simple and should help prevent unnecessary errors.
This patch makes the naming consistent with the `TextLayerBuilder`, and also the new `AnnotationLayer`, and should thus help reduce possible confusion when working with the code.
Please note that the files were renamed using `git mv`, in order to preserve blame.
Additionally simplify the div creation logic (it needs to happen only
once, so it should not be in the for-loop) and remove/rename variables
for shorter code.
This patch goes a bit further than issue 6612 requires, and replaces all kinds of whitespace with standard spaces.
When testing this locally, it actually seemed to slightly improve two existing test-cases (`tracemonkey-text` and `taro-text`).
Fixes 6612.
Currently `getAnnotations` will *only* fetch annotations that are either `viewable` or `printable`. This is "hidden" inside the `core.js` file, meaning that API consumers might be confused as to why they are not recieving *all* the annotations present for a page.
I thus think that the API should, by default, return *all* available annotations unless specifically told otherwise. In e.g. the default viewer, we obviously only want to display annotations that are `viewable`, hence this patch adds an `intent` parameter to `getAnnotations` that makes it possible to decide if only `viewable` or `printable` annotations should be fetched.
