In `viewer.js` we have code that ensures that the document is re-rendered on zooming and rotation. However, for `components` based viewers this might not work correctly, since there's currently no code which handles that.
Note that there is a good chance that this "just works" in many `components` viewers already, thanks to the `watchScroll` function.
The explanation is that zooming or rotation, most of the time, causes the viewer to change its (scrollable) size, thus triggering `PDFViewer_update` through `PDFViewer_scrollUpdate`.
However, in general there's no guarantee that this will actually work (since zooming and rotation doesn't necessarily change the size of the viewer for all documents), and requiring every viewer `components` implementer to provide methods for this doesn't seem like a great idea.
The reason that this code can be moved is that the `if (this.loading && page === 1)` check, in the `pagechange` event handler in viewer.js, is never satisfied since `this.loading` is not defined in that scope.
This *could* be considered a regression from PR 5295, since prior to that `this.loading` was using the `PDFViewerApplication` scope (or `PDFView` as it were).
However, I don't think that we need to fix that since we've been shipping this code in no less than *three* Firefox releases (uplifted in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1084158), without breaking the world.
An explanation of why the `pagechange` code works, despite `this.loading === undefined`, is that `set currentPageNumber` (in `PDFViewer`) returns early whenever `this.pdfDocument` isn't set. This check is, for all intents and purposes, functionally equivalent to checking `PDFViewerApplication.loading`.
Hence we can move the page switching code into `PDFViewer`, and also remove `PDFViewerApplication.loading` since it's not used any more.
(The `this.loading` property was added in PR 686, which was before the current viewer even existed.)
*Note:* The changes in this patch should also be beneficial to the viewer `components`, since requiring every implementer to provide their own `pagechange` event handler just to get `PDFViewer.currentPageNumber` to actually work seems like an unnecessary complication.
*This patch addresses an issue I stumbled upon while working on rewriting the history implementation.*
Currently the `updateviewarea` UI event doesn't include the `location`, and in the event handler in viewer.js we instead reach into `PDFViewer` to retrieve it. Not only does this seem conceptually wrong, it also makes the `updateviewarea` event less useful in general since it's currently only possible to access the `location` if you have a reference to the `PDFViewer`.
To me, this simply appears to be an oversight in the implementation, hence this patch which adds `location` to the `updateviewarea` event. It also changes `location` to be a "private" property of `PDFViewer`.
This patch:
- Adds a couple of utility methods to `PDFViewer` to enable checking `presentationModeState` without cumbersome comparisons.
- Disentangles `PresentationMode` from `PDFHistory` and `HandTool`, by adding event listeners for `presentationmodechanged` to both of them.
- Adds a utility function to `PDFViewerApplication` for requesting PresentationMode.
- Prevents initialization of `PresentationMode` if the browser does not support the fullscreen API.
From reading IRC scrollback, it became clear that having to manually call `PDFFindController.resolveFirstPage` in order for the find functionality to work isn't particulary good. Hence this PR, which moves that code into `PDFViewer.setDocument` to make life easier for third-party implementations.
