The call-sites are replaced by direct `typeof`-checks instead, which removes unnecessary function calls. Note that in the `src/`-folder we already had more `typeof`-cases than `isString`-calls.

These changes were *mostly* done using regular expression search-and-replace, with two exceptions:
- In `Font._charToGlyph` we no longer unconditionally update the `width`, since that seems completely unnecessary.
- In `PDFDocument.documentInfo`, when parsing custom entries, we now do the `typeof`-check once.
With recent changes, specifically PR 14515 *and* the previous patch, the `createObjectURL` helper function is now only used with the SVG back-end.
All other call-sites, throughout the code-base, are now using `URL.createObjectURL(...)` directly and it no longer seems necessary to keep exposing the helper function in the API.
Finally, the `createObjectURL` helper function is moved into the `src/display/svg.js` file to avoid unnecessarily duplicating this code on both the main- and worker-threads.
Inlining the checks should be a *tiny bit* more efficient, since it avoids have to make *unconditional* function calls in these fairly commonly used helper functions.
This patch implements this by looking for the UTF-8 BOM, i.e. `\xEF\xBB\xBF`, in order to determine the encoding.[1]
The actual conversion is done using the `TextDecoder` interface, which should be available in all environments/browsers that we support; please see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TextDecoder#browser_compatibility

[1] Assuming that everything lacking a UTF-16 BOM would have to be UTF-8 encoded really doesn't seem correct.
This helper function has never been used in e.g. the worker-thread, hence its placement in `src/shared/util.js` led to a *small* amount of unnecessary duplication.
After the previous patches this helper function is now *only* used in the viewer, hence it no longer seems necessary to expose it through the official API.
*Please note:* It seems somewhat unlikely that third-party users were relying *directly* on this helper function, which is why it's not being exported as part of the viewer components. (If necessary, we can always change this later on.)
Trying to shadow a non-existent property is always an implementation mistake, since it leads to the `shadow`-call not having any effect.
In PR 14152 I overlooked the fact that it's fairly easy to enforce this during development/testing, since that can help catch e.g. simple spelling bugs.
This allows us to compose much smaller regions of soft
mask making them much faster. This should also allow
for further optimizations in the pattern code.
For example locally I see issue #6573 go from 55s
to 5s with this change.
Fixes#6573
Apparently Node.js has added *global* `URL.createObjectURL` support, but not done the same thing for `Blob`. Hence we also need to check for the availability of `Blob` in the `createObjectURL` helper function, and it's probably a good idea to also update `examples/node/pdf2svg.js` to work-around this until these changes reach an official PDF.js release.
Having recently worked with, and reviewed patches touching, this code it seemed that it's probably not a bad idea to move that functionality into `createValidAbsoluteUrl` as new options instead.
For the `addDefaultProtocolToUrl` functionality in particular, the existing helper function was not only moved but slightly improved as well. Looking at the code, I realized that there's a small risk that it would incorrectly match a *relative* URL-string too.
With these changes, the `createValidAbsoluteUrl` call-sites in the `src/core/`-code can be simplified a little bit.
*Please note:* This patch may, indirectly, change the format of the `unsafeUrl`-property returned with relevant Annotations and OutlineItems; hence the `api-minor` tag.
However, I'd argue that it's actually more correct this way since the whole purpose of `unsafeUrl` is/was to return the URL data as-is without any parsing done.
After PR 11601, the `paintJpegXObject` operator is no longer used for anything. While I don't think we can just remove it, and essentially leave a "hole" in the `OPS` structure, we should at least mark it as explicitly unused to aid readability/maintainability of the code.
*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.
*This patch is very similar to the recently fixed `renderInteractiveForms`-options, see PR 13867.*
As far as I can tell, this *subtle* bug has existed ever since `AnnotationStorage`-support was first added in PR 12106 (a little over a year ago).
The value of the `includeAnnotationStorage`-option, as passed to the `PDFPageProxy.render` method, will (potentially) affect the size/content of the operatorList that's returned from the worker (for documents with forms).
Given that operatorLists will generally, unless they contain huge images, be cached in the API, repeated `PDFPageProxy.render` calls where the form-data has been changed by the user in between, can thus *wrongly* return a cached operatorList.
In the viewer we're only using the `includeAnnotationStorage`-option when printing, which is probably why this has gone unnoticed for so long. Note that we, for performance reasons, don't cache printing-operatorLists in the API.
However, there's nothing stopping an API-user from using the `includeAnnotationStorage`-option during "normal" rendering, which could thus result in *subtle* (and difficult to understand) rendering bugs.
In order to handle this, we need to know if the `AnnotationStorage`-instance has been updated since the last `PDFPageProxy.render` call. The most "correct" solution would obviously be to create a hash of the `AnnotationStorage` contents, however that would require adding a bunch of code, complexity, and runtime overhead.
Given that operatorList caching in the API doesn't have to be perfect[1], but only have to avoid *false* cache-hits, we can simplify things significantly be only keeping track of the last time that the `AnnotationStorage`-data was modified.
*Please note:* While working on this patch, I also noticed that the `renderInteractiveForms`- and `includeAnnotationStorage`-options in the `PDFPageProxy.render` method are mutually exclusive.[2]
Given that the various Annotation-related options in `PDFPageProxy.render` have been added at different times, this has unfortunately led to the current "messy" situation.[3]
---
[1] Note how we're already not caching operatorLists for pages with *huge* images, in order to save memory, hence there's no guarantee that operatorLists will always be cached.
[2] Setting both to `true` will result in undefined behaviour, since trying to insert `AnnotationStorage`-values into fields that are being excluded from the operatorList-building will obviously not work, which isn't at all clear from the documentation.
[3] My intention is to try and fix this in a follow-up PR, and I've got a WIP patch locally, however it will result in a number of API-observable changes.
Once we're finally able to get rid of SystemJS, which is unfortunately still blocked on [bug 1247687](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687), we might also want to clean-up (or even completely remove) the `BaseException` abstraction and simply extend `Error` directly instead.
At that point we'd need to (explicitly) set the `name` on each class anyway, so this patch is essentially preparing for future clean-up. Furthermore, after the `BaseException` abstraction was added there's been *multiple* issues filed about third-party minification breaking our code since `this.constructor.name` is not guaranteed to always do what you intended.
While hard-coding the strings indeed feels quite unfortunate, it's likely the "best" solution to avoid the problem described above.
The value of the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter, as passed to the `PDFPageProxy.render` method, will (potentially) affect the size/content of the operatorList that's returned from the worker (for documents with forms).
Given that operatorLists will generally, unless they contain huge images, be cached in the API, repeated `PDFPageProxy.render` calls that *only* change the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter can thus return an incorrect operatorList.
As far as I can tell, this *subtle* bug has existed ever since `renderInteractiveForms`-support was first added in PR 7633 (which is almost five years ago).
With the previous patch, fixing this is now really simple by "encoding" the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter in the *internal* renderingIntent handling.
With the changes made in PR 13746 the *internal* renderingIntent handling became somewhat "messy", since we're now having to do string-matching in various spots in order to handle the "oplist"-intent correctly.
Hence this patch, which implements the idea from PR 13746 to convert the `intent`-strings, used in various API-methods, into an *internal* renderingIntent that's implemented using a bit-field instead. *Please note:* This part of the patch, in itself, does *not* change the public API (but see below).
This patch is tagged `api-minor` for the following reasons:
1. It changes the *default* value for the `intent` parameter, in the `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations` method, to "display" in order to be consistent across the API.
2. In order to get *all* annotations, with the `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations` method, you now need to explicitly set "any" as the `intent` parameter.
3. The `PDFPageProxy.getOperatorList` method will now also support the new "any" intent, to allow accessing the operatorList of all annotations (limited to those types that have one).
4. Finally, for consistency across the API, the `PDFPageProxy.render` method also support the new "any" intent (although I'm not sure how useful that'll be).
Points 1 and 2 above are the significant, and thus breaking, changes in *default* behaviour here. However, unfortunately I cannot see a good way to improve the overall API while also keeping `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations` unchanged.
This patch makes use of the existing `ignoreErrors` option, thus allowing a page to continue parsing/rendering even if (some of) its sub-streams are corrupt. Obviously this may cause *part* of a page to be broken/missing, however it should be better than (potentially) rendering nothing.
Also, to the best of my knowledge, this is the first bug of its kind that we've encountered.
To avoid having to pass in a bunch of, for a `BaseStream`-instance, mostly unrelated parameters when initializing a `StreamsSequenceStream`-instance, I settled on utilizing a callback function instead to allow conditional Error-suppression.
Note that the `StreamsSequenceStream`-class is a *special* stream-implementation that we only use when the `/Contents`-entry, in the `/Page`-dictionary, consists of an Array with streams.
The building of glyph paths, in the `FontRendererFactory`, can fail in various ways for corrupt font data. However, we're currently not attempting to handle any such errors in the evaluator, which means that a single broken glyph *can* prevent an entire page from rendering.
To address this we simply have to pass along, and check, the existing `ignoreErrors` option in `PartialEvaluator.buildFontPaths` similar to the rest of the `PartialEvaluator` code.
To get the maximum benefit from something like Prettier, you obviously don't want to disable the automatic formatting unless absolutely necessary. When we added Prettier there were a number of cases, mostly involving larger Arrays, which required disabling of the automatic formatting for overall readability and/or to not break inline comments.
With changes in Prettier version `2.3.0`, see [the release notes](https://prettier.io/blog/2021/05/09/2.3.0.html#concise-formatting-of-number-only-arrays-10106httpsgithubcomprettierprettierpull10106-10160httpsgithubcomprettierprettierpull10160-by-thorn0httpsgithubcomthorn0), there's now better formatting support for Arrays containing only numbers. Hence we can now remove a number of `// prettier-ignore` comments, and thus get the benefit of automatic formatting in (slightly) more of the code-base.
- but don't validate them for now;
- Firefox will display a bar to warn that the signature validation is not supported (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=854315)
- almost all (all ?) pdf readers display signatures;
- validation is done in edge but for now it's behind a pref.
Given that it's only used with `Map`s, and that it's currently implemented in such a way that we (indirectly) must iterate through the data *twice*, some simplification cannot hurt here.
Note that the only reason that we're not using `Object.fromEntries(...)` directly, at each call-site, is that that one won't guarantee that a `null` prototype is being used.
The `compareByteArrays` is first of all duplicated in multiple closures in the `src/core/crypto.js` file. Secondly, despite its name, it's also functionally equivalent to the now existing `isArrayEqual` helper function.
The `isArrayEqual` helper function is changed to use a standard `for`-loop, rather than `Array.prototype.every`, since that ought to be slightly more efficient given that we're now using it with (potentially) larger data.
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.
With the previous patch this function is now *only* accessed on the worker-thread, hence it's no longer necessary to include it in the *built* `pdf.js` file.
There's built-in ESLint rule, see `sort-imports`, to ensure that all `import`-statements are sorted alphabetically, since that often helps with readability.
Unfortunately there's no corresponding rule to sort `export`-statements alphabetically, however there's an ESLint plugin which does this; please see https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-sort-exports
The only downside here is that it's not automatically fixable, but the re-ordering is a one-time "cost" and the plugin will help maintain a *consistent* ordering of `export`-statements in the future.
*Note:* To reduce the possibility of introducing any errors here, the re-ordering was done by simply selecting the relevant lines and then using the built-in sort-functionality of my editor.
* the goal is to execute actions like Open or OpenAction
* can be tested with issue6106.pdf (auto-print)
* once #12701 is merged, we can add page actions
Note that a number of these cases are covered by existing unit-tests, and a few others only matter for the development/build scripts.
Furthermore, I've also tried to the best of my ability to test each case *manually* to hopefully further reduce the likelihood of this patch introducing any bugs.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-useless-escape
* it's faster to generate the color code in using a table for components
* it's very likely a way faster to parse (when setting the color in the canvas)
Rather than returning an *empty* Object[1] we should be returning `null` instead, since that's consistent with existing API-functionality.
To avoid having to *manually* track if the Object is empty, this patch also introduces a small helper function to check its size.
This provides a work-around to avoid having to conditionally try to initialize the `openAction`-object in multiple places.
Given that `Object.fromEntries` doesn't seem to *guarantee* that a `null` prototype is used, we thus hack around that by using `Object.assign` with `Object.create(null)`.
Previously this rule has been enabled in the `web/` folder, and in select files in the `src/` sub-folders.
In this case, enabling of this rule didn't actually require any further code changes.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-var
* Move display/xml_parser.js in shared to use it in worker
* Save form data in XFA datasets when pdf is a mix of acroforms and xfa
