The current PageLabel dictionary validation code won't catch some (unlikely) forms of corruption. For example: a `Type`/`S` entry being `null`/`0`/empty string, a `P`/`St` entry being `null`/`0`.
Please note: I'm not aware of any bugs caused by the old code, but I've had this patch sitting locally for some time and figured it couldn't hurt to submit it.
The `getPageSizeInches` method was implemented on `PDFDocumentProxy`, which seems conceptually wrong since the size property isn't global to the document but rather specific to each page. Hence the method is moved into `PDFPageProxy`, as `get pageSizeInches` instead to address this.
Despite the fact that new API functionality was implemented, no unit-tests were added. To prevent issues later on, we should *always* ensure that new functionality has at least some test-coverage; something that this patch also takes care of.
The new `PDFDocumentProperties._parsePageSize` method seemed unnecessary convoluted. Furthermore, in the "no data provided"-case it even returned incorrect data (an array, rather than the expected object).
Finally, the fallback strings didn't actually agree with the `en-US` locale. This inconsistency doesn't look too great, and it's thus addressed here as well.
Chrome 60 and earlier does not include credentials (cookies) in requests
made with fetch, regardless of extension permissions. This was fixed in
61.0.3138.0 by
2e231cf052
This patch disables the fetch backend in all affected Chrome versions.
The browser detection is done by checking for a change that coincides
with the release of Chrome 61.
Test case:
1. Copy the `isChromeWithFetchCredentials` function from the patch.
2. Run it in the JS console of Chrome and verify the return value.
Verified results:
- 49.0.2623.75 - false (earliest supported version by us)
- 60.0.3112.90 - false (last major version affected by bug)
- 61.0.3163.100 - true (first major version without bug)
- 65.0.3325.146 - true (current stable)
Test case 2:
1. Build the extension (`gulp chromium`) and load it in Chrome.
2. Open the developer tools, and open any PDF file.
3. In the "Network tab" of the developer tools, look at "request type".
In Chrome 60-: Should be "xhr"
In Chrome 61+: Should be "fetch"
This function combines the logic of two separate methods into one.
The loop limit is also a good thing to have for the calls in
`src/core/annotation.js`.
Moreover, since this is important functionality, a set of unit tests and
documentation is added.
It's only used in two places in the class and those callsites can
directly get the information from the dictionary, which is more readable
and avoids an additional method call.
With options being moved from the global `PDFJS` object and into `getDocument`, a side-effect is that we're now passing in a fair number of useless parameters to the various transport/network streams.
Even though this doesn't *currently* cause any problems, it nonetheless seem like a good idea to explicitly provide the parameters that are actually necessary.
One additional complication with removing this option from the global `PDFJS` object, is that the viewer currently needs to check `disableAutoFetch` in a couple of places. To address this I'm thus proposing adding a getter in `PDFDocumentProxy`, to allow checking the *actually* used values for a particular `getDocument` invocation.
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, we still need the ability to adjust certain API options depending on the browser environment in PDF.js version `2.0`. However, we should be able to separate this from the general compatibility code in the `src/shared/compatibility.js` file.
I don't understand why the previous way importing the polyfills didn't work, and I don't have time to try and figure it out, however this patch seems to fix things.
Fixes 9514.

Compared to most other options currently/previously residing on the global `PDFJS` object, some of the Worker specific ones (e.g. `workerPort`/`workerSrc`) probably cannot be moved into options provided directly when initializing e.g. `PDFWorker`.
The reason is that in some cases, e.g. the Webpack examples, we try to provide Worker auto-configuration and I cannot see a good solution for that use-case if we completely remove the globally available Worker configuration.
However inline with previous patches for PDF.js version `2.0`, it does seem like a worthwhile goal to move away from storing options directly on the global `PDFJS` object, since that is a pattern we should avoid going forward. Especially since one of the (eventual) goals is to attempt to *completely* remove the global `PDFJS` object, and rely solely on exporting/importing the needed functionality.
By introducing the `GlobalWorkerOptions` we thus have larger flexibility in the future, if/when the global `PDFJS` object will be removed.
With PDF.js version `2.0` we'll only support browsers with built-in `TypedArray` functionality, hence there doesn't seem to be any good reason not to implement this now.
Fixes 4888.
In order to simplify things, the undocumented `enableStats` option was removed and `pdfBug` is now instead used to enabled general debugging *and* page request/rendering stats.
Considering that in the default viewer the `stats` was only used when debugging was also enabled, this simplification (code wise) definitely seem worthwhile to me.
This removes the `PDFJS.externalLinkTarget`/`PDFJS.externalLinkRel` dependency from the viewer components, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
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.

The reason for the bug is that we're only computing a checksum of the image data itself, but completely ignore the inline dictionary. The latter is important, since in practice it's not uncommon for inline images to be identical but use e.g. different ColourSpaces.
There's obviously a couple of different ways that we could compute a hash/checksum of the dictionary.
Initially I tried using `MurmurHash3_64` to compute a hash of the keys/values in the dictionary. Unfortunately this approach turned out to be *way* too slow in practice, especially for PDF files with a huge number of inline images; in particular issue 2618 would regresses quite badly with this solution.
The solution that is instead implemented in this patch, is to compute a checksum of the dictionary contents. While this is a much simpler, not to mention a lot more efficient, solution there's one drawback associated with it:
If the contents of inline image dictionaries are ordered differently, they will not be considered equal with this approach which could thus lead to failures to cache repeated inline images. In practice this doesn't seem to be a problem in any of the PDF files I've tested, and generally I'd rather err on the side of *not* caching given that too aggressive caching can easily lead to rendering bugs.
One small, but somewhat annoying, complication is that by the time `Parser.makeInlineImage` is called, we no longer know the *exact* stream position where the inline image dictionary starts. Having access to that information is crucial here, and the easiest solution I could come up with is to track this in the current `Lexer` instance.[1]
With the patch, we're thus able to fix the referenced issues without incurring large regressions in problematic cases such as issue 2618.
Fixes 9398; also improves/fixes the `issue8823` reference test.

[1] Obviously I'd have preferred if this patch could be limited to `Parser.makeInlineImage`, without the need for this "hack", but I'm not sure what that'd look like here.
