Each well-formed SVG image has the following structure:
SVG element
- Definitions element
- Root group
- Other group 1
- ...
- Other group n
This patch factors out initialization code into a private method in such
as way that the creation of this structure is clear from the code. The
root group is the replacement for the parent group from before. We need
this group as we cannot apply the viewport transform on the SVG element
itself (this caused issues in Chrome). If other code appends groups to
the SVG image, in reality it is appending those groups to the root
group, but this detail is abstracted away by this patch.
This patch ensures that we only create transformation groups when it is
actually required and that we re-use transform groups as much as possible.
It reduces the number of transform groups for the Tracemonkey paper from
2790 to 1271, thereby making the DOM much lighter and rendering/scrolling
smoother. Moreover, it simplifies the code and prevents duplication.
Finally, we issue a warning when an unimplemented graphic state is
encountered. Before, this was ignored silently, making debugging harder.
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).
I intended to provide proper benchmarking results here, as outlined in https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Benchmarking-your-changes, but after wasting a couple of hours over the weekend getting weird results I gave up.
It appears that there's a lot of, i.e. way too much, variance between subsequent runs of `text` tests for the results to be meaningful.
(Previously I've only benchmarked `eq` tests, so I don't know if the `text` tests has never worked well or if it's a newer problem. For reference, please see the results of back-to-back benchmark runs on the current `master` with a *very* simple manifest file: [link here].)
Instead I used `console.time/timeEnd` in `appendText` and `expandTextDivs` to be able to compare the performance with/without the patch. The entire viewer was (skip-cache) reloaded between measurements, and the result are available here: [link here].
Given the troubles I've had with benchmarking, I've not yet computed any statistics on the results (e.g. mean, variance, confidence intervals, and so on).
However, just by looking at the data I think it's safe to say that this patch first of all doesn't seem to regress the current performance. Secondly it certainly looks *very* likely that this patch actually improves the performance, especially for the one-glyph-per-text-div case (cf. issue 7224).
Re: issue 7584.
Moreover, we refactor the code a bit to extract code that is shared
between the two branches and we only apply text alignment (and create
the array) when it is actually defined, since it's optional and left is
already the default.
This patch is the first step towards implementing support for
interactive forms (AcroForms). It makes it possible to render text
widget annotations exactly like Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
Everything we implement for AcroForms is disabled by default using a
preference, mainly because it is not ready to use yet, but has to
implemented in many steps to avoid complexity. The preference allows us
to work with the code while not exposing the behavior by default. Mainly
storing entered values and printing them is still absent, which would be
minimal requirements for enabling this by default.
Currently, we only support text widget annotations (field type 'Tx')
partially. However, the current code does not make this entirely clear
and does not provide a warning when an unsupported field type is
encountered, making it harder to determine why rendering fails.
Moreover, in the display layer we make no distinction between the
various types of widget annotations, causing the code for text widget
annotations to also be executed for other types of widget annotations in
a fallback situation.
This patch improves the structure of the widget annotation code. In the
core layer, we use the same structure we use for non-widget annotations
in the factory and provide a clear warning when an unsupported type is
encountered. In the display layer, we do the same and split the
`WidgetAnnotationElement` class into two classes, namely
`TextWidgetAnnotationElement` for text widget annotations and
`WidgetAnnotationElement` for other unsupported annotations as a
fallback. From this it clear that we only support text widget
annotations and nothing else.
In the case where the document was destroyed, we were rejecting the `Promise` in `JpegDecode` with a string instead of an `Error`. The patch also brings the wording more inline with other such rejections.
Use the `isInt` utility function when validating the `pageNumber` parameter in `WorkerTransport_getPage`, to make it more obvious what's actually happening. There's also a couple more unit-tests added, to ensure that we always fail in the expected way.
Finally, we can simplify the rejection handling in `WorkerTransport_getPageIndexByRef` somewhat. (Note that the only reason for using `catch` here is that since the promise is rejected on the worker side, the `reason` becomes a string instead of an `Error` which is why we "re-reject" on the display side.)
This patch avoids having to calculate the scale twice by saving it in
the properties object.
Moreover, we remove a temporary variable and place parentheses around a
calculation inside a string concatenation.
This patch improves performance by avoiding unnecessary type
conversions, which also help the JIT for optimizations.
Moreover, this patch fixes issues with the div expansion code where
`textScale` would be undefined in a division. Because of the `dataset`
usage, other comparisons evaluated to `true` while `false` would have
been correct. This makes the expansion mode now work correctly for cases
with, for example, each glyph in one div.
The polyfill for `WeakMap` has been provided by @yurydelendik.
We pass many parameters to `appendText` while we might as well pass the
`task` object that contains them. This saves a few lines of code and
makes the signature of `appendText` more clear. We do the same for
`expand`, which is useful for the next commit in which we replace
`div.dataset` with a `WeakMap`.
Furthermore, this patch adds a missing parameter to a comment block to
make it clear which parameters remain.
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.
Currently the `getPageIndex` method will happily return `0`, even if the `Ref` parameter doesn't actually point to a proper /Page dictionary.
Having the API trust that the consumer is doing the right thing seems error-prone, hence this patch which adds a check for this case.
Given that the `Catalog_getPageIndex` method isn't used in any hot part of the codebase, this extra check shouldn't be a problem.
(Note: in the standard viewer, it is only ever used from `PDFLinkService_navigateTo` if a destination needs to be resolved during document loading, which isn't common enough to be an issue IMHO.)
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.
This naming issue has been present since PR 3529, but at least I cannot find any issues/bugs that seem to have been caused by it, which is good.
The patch also removes an unnecessary `else` branch, since an already existing `break` means that it's redundant.
Fixes 7232.
- Add support for the 'NewWindow' property.
- Ensure that destinations are applied to the *remote* document, instead of the current one.
- Handle the `F` entry being a standard string, instead of a dictionary.
Some browsers render certain special characters with width 0, others with strictly positive width. (For example, the Greek Delta, Δ, has width 0 in Google Chrome, and a positive width in Firefox.) The `if` clause in operation so far results in different text layer DOM trees for different browsers.
This commit fixes that by adding the elements independently of their width.
This is required to be able to use it in the annotation display code,
where we now apply it to sanitize the filename of the FileAttachment
annotation. The PDF file from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1230933 has shown that some PDF generators include the path of the file rather than the filename, which causes filenames with weird initial characters. PDF viewers handle this differently (for example Foxit Reader just replaces forward slashes with spaces), but we think it's better to only show the filename as intended.
Additionally we add unit tests for the `getFilenameFromUrl` helper
function.
Currently the `C` entry in an outline item is returned as is, which is neither particularly useful nor what the API documentation claims.
This patch also adds unit-tests for both the color handling, and the `F` entry (bold/italic flags).

require.js uses importScript asynchronously, which activates the worker
GC bug in WebKit. This patch works around a bug in a way that is similar
in the upcoming (but not yet released) require.js 2.1.23
The advantage of the new work-around is that it allows the runtime to
garbage-collect idle Workers.

Re: issue 5089.
(Note that since there are other outline features that we currently don't support, e.g. bold/italic text and custom colours, I thus think we can keep the referenced issue open.)
Apparently some PDF files can have annotations with `URI` entries ending with `null` characters, thus breaking the links.
To handle this edge-case of bad PDFs, this patch moves the already existing utility function from `ui_utils.js` into `util.js`, in order to fix those URLs.
Fixes 6832.
Currently we're not applying Patterns for text, but only for graphics.
This patch is unfortunately not a complete solution, but rather a step on the way, since there are still some PDF files where the Patterns look more like a solid colour, rather than the intended gradient.
I've been unable to fix these issues completely, and I've not managed to determine if the remaining issues are caused either by the pattern code, the canvas code, or perhaps both.
However, given that even this simple patch improves the current situation quite a bit, I figured that it couldn't hurt to submit it as-is.
- Fixes 5804.
- Fixes 6130.
- Improves 3988 a lot, since the text is now visible. However, it looks like the text is *one* solid colour, instead of the correct gradient.
- Improves 5432, since the text is no longer gray. (This file also suffers from the same problem as the previous one.)
Most code for Popup annotations is already present for Text annotations.
This patch extracts the popup creation logic from the Text annotation
code so it can be reused for Popup annotations.
Not only does this add support for Popup annotations, the Text
annotation code is also considerably easier. If a `Popup` entry is
available for a Text annotation, it will not be more than an image. The
popup will be handled by the Popup annotation. However, it is also
possible for Text annotations to not have a separate Popup annotation,
in which case the Text annotation handles the popup creation itself.
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.
This patch:
- Updates the JSDoc comment in `api.js`, to more clearly point out that `PDFJS.openExternalLinksInNewWindow` is deprecated, and explains what to use instead.
- Changes the `warn`, in `isExternalLinkTargetSet()`, to use the new `deprecated` function instead. Also updates the message with more detailed information about what to use instead.
- Changes the pre-processor tag to ensure the deprecation warning is seen in all build types where it could possibly matter (in case people are using `PDFJS.openExternalLinksInNewWindow` in e.g. custom-built extensions).
These changes were prompted by seeing http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33813373/pdf-js-how-to-open-hyperlinks-in-a-new-tab-window, since it seems to me that the current comments/warnings might not be worded well enough.
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.
