There's a number of issues with the fonts in the referenced PDF file. First of all, they contain broken `ToUnicode` data (`NUL` bytes all over the place). However even if you skip those, the `ToUnicode` data appears to contain nothing but a `IdentityH` CMap which won't help provide a proper glyph mapping.
The real issue actually turns out to be that the PDF file uses the "Calibri" font[1], but doesn't include any font files. Since that one isn't a standard font, and uses a fairly different CID to GID map compared to the standard fonts, we're not able to render the file even remotely correct.
To work around this, I'm thus proposing that we include a (incomplete) glyph map for Calibri, and fallback to the standard Helvetica font. Obviously this isn't going to look perfect, but it's really the best that we can hope to achieve given that the PDF file is missing the necessary font data.
Finally, please note that none of the PDF readers I've tried (Adobe Reader, PDFium in Chrome) were able to extract the text (which isn't very surprising, given the broken `ToUnicode` data).
Fixes 9195.

[1] According to Wikipedia, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibri, Calibri is (primarily) a Windows font.
In some fonts, the included `ToUnicode` data is incomplete causing text-selection to not work properly. For simple fonts that contain encoding data, we can manually build a `ToUnicode` map to attempt to improve things.
Please note that since we're currently using the `ToUnicode` data during glyph mapping, in an attempt to avoid rendering regressions, I purposely didn't want to amend to original `ToUnicode` data for this text-selection edge-case.
Instead, I opted for the current solution, which will (hopefully) give slightly better text-extraction results in PDF file with incomplete `ToUnicode` data.
According to the PDF specification, see [section 9.10.2](http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#G8.1873172):
> A conforming reader can use these methods, in the priority given, to map a character code to a Unicode value.

Reading that paragraph literally, it doesn't seem too unreasonable to use *different* methods for different charcodes.
Fixes 8229.
*This patch is the result of me starting to look into moving parameters from `PDFJS` into `getDocument` and other API methods.*
When familiarizing myself with the code, the signatures of the various network streams seemed to be unnecessarily cumbersome since `disableRange` is currently handled separately from other parameters.
I'm assuming that the explanation for this is probably "for historical reasons", as is often the case. Hence I'd like to clean this up *before* we start the larger, and more invasive, `PDFJS` parameter re-factoring.
In the PDF file, the `ToUnicode` data first maps the hyphen correctly, and then *overwrites* it to point to the softhyphen instead. That one cannot be rendered in browsers, and an empty space thus appear instead.
Fixes 9084.
Nothing uses this option anymore, so setting it is a no-op now. We can
safely remove it.
Use `SKIP_BABEL` (instead of `PDFJS_NEXT`) now if you want to skip Babel
translation for a build.
Moreover, adjust one linked test case that did not conform to the
standard Web Archive URL format and adjust one linked test case because
the link was dead.
This patch makes use of the existing `ignoreErrors` property in `src/core/evaluator.js`, see PRs 8240 and 8441, thus allowing us to attempt to recovery as much as possible of a page even when it contains broken XObjects.
Fixes 8702.
Fixes 8704.
*Follow-up to PR 8909.*
This requires us to pass around `pdfFunctionFactory` to quite a lot of existing code, however I don't see another way of handling this while still guaranteeing that we can access `PDFFunction` as freely as in the old code.
Please note that the patch passes all tests locally (unit, font, reference), and I *very* much hope that we have sufficient test-coverage for the code in question to catch any typos/mistakes in the re-factoring.
Bug 1392647 has a PDF where the default width of the font
is 0. It draws some charcodes that don't have glyphs, but
we were wrongly using the 1000 default width for these
charcodes causing some text to be overlapping.
The `DOMParser` is most likely overkill and may be less secure.
Moreover, it is not supported in Node.js environments.
This patch replaces the `DOMParser` with a simple XML parser. This
should be faster and gives us Node.js support for free. The simple XML
parser is a port of the one that existed in the examples folder with a
small regex fix to make the parsing work correctly.
The unit tests are extended for increased test coverage of the metadata
code. The new method `getAll` is provided so the example does not have
to access internal properties of the object anymore.
(for issue #6289)
This does the same for 16 bit as the existing 8 bit tiff predictor code, an addition of the last word to this word.
The last two "& 0xFF" may or may not be needed, I see this isn't done in the 8 bit code, but I'm not a JS developer.
Rather than (basically) duplicating the `SimpleLinkService` in `test/driver.js`, with potential test failuires if you forget to update the test mock, it seems much nicer to just re-use the viewer component.
Note that `SimpleLinkService` is already bundled into the `build/components/pdf_viewer.js` file. Hence we only need to expose it similar to the other viewer components in that file, and make sure that the `gulp components` command runs as part of the test-setup.
reference tests
This patch allows us to use the common styles as used by the viewer as a
baseline for the annotation layer reference tests. They are extended
with a small set of overrides to ensure that all elements are visible
during the test.
The overrides file now only contains the absolutely necessary rules to
make all elements visible and is therefore no longer an almost verbatim
copy of the common styles.
This patch provides a new unit tested factory for creating SVG
containers and elements. This code is duplicated twice in the
codebase, but with upcoming changes this would need to be duplicated
even more. Moreover, consolidating this code in one factory allows
us to replace it easily for e.g., supporting Node.js. Therefore, move
this to a central place and update/ES6-ify the related code.
Finally, we replace `setAttributeNS` with `setAttribute` because no
namespace is provided.
