The rotation handling that's currently living in `PDFViewerApplication` is *very* old, and pre-dates the introduction of the viewer components by years.
As can be seen in the `BaseViewer.pagesRotation` setter, we're not actually normalizing the rotation as intended and instead rely on the caller to handle that correctly. This is first of all inconsistent, given how other setters are implemented, and secondly it could also lead to the rotation being set to a value outside of the `[0, 360)`-range.
Finally, for improved consistency the rotation handling in `PageViewport` is updated similarly. Please note that this case, it's *not* changing the pre-existing logic.
- implement few positioning properties: position, width, height, anchor;
- implement font element;
- implement fill element (used by font) and its children (linear, radial, ...);
- font property is inherited from ancestor container (see https://www.pdfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/XFA-3_3.pdf#page=43) so let CSS handles that stuff;
- in order to reduce the number of properties to set, only set non default properties and put the default in CSS;
- set a background to some containers to be able to see them (will be removed in a future commit).
Similar to the existing `annotationsPromise` and `_jsActionsPromise` properties, the new `_xfaPromise` should obviously also be reset, since otherwise you might end up holding onto a lot of data for pages that are no longer active.
(That caching wasn't present in the original version of PR 13069, which is why I didn't spot it until now.)
- add an option to enable XFA rendering if any;
- for now, let the canvas layer: it could be useful to implement XFAF forms (embedded pdf in xml stream for the background and xfa form for the foreground);
- ui elements in template DOM are pretty close to their html counterpart so we generate a fake html DOM from template one:
- it makes easier to translate template properties to html ones;
- it makes faster the creation of the html element in the main thread.
While there is nothing *outright* wrong with the existing implementation, it can however lead to increased memory usage in one particular case (that I completely overlooked when implementing this):
For "data:"-URLs, which by definition contains the entire PDF document and can thus be arbitrarily large, we obviously want to avoid sending, storing, and/or logging the "raw" docBaseUrl in that case.
To address this, this patch makes the following changes:
- Ignore any non-string in the `docBaseUrl` option passed to `getDocument`, since those are unsupported anyway, already on the main-thread.
- Ignore "data:"-URLs in the `docBaseUrl` option passed to `getDocument`, to avoid having to send what could potentially be a *very* long string to the worker-thread.
- Parse the `docBaseUrl` option *directly* in the `BasePdfManager`-constructors, on the worker-thread, to avoid having to store the "raw" docBaseUrl in the first place.
It seems reasonable to place this alongside the *similar* `getFilenameFromUrl` helper function. This way, with the changes in the next patch, we also avoid having to expose the `isDataScheme` function in the API itself and we instead expose `getPdfFilenameFromUrl` in the API (which feels overall more appropriate).
While the JSDocs have never advertised `getDocument` as supporting Node.js `Buffer`s, that apparently doesn't stop users from passing such data structures to `getDocument`.
In theory the existing `instanceof Uint8Array` check ought to have caught Node.js `Buffer`s, however for reasons that I don't even pretend to understand that check actually passes. Hence this patch which, *only* in Node.js environments, will special-case `Buffer`s to hopefully provide a slightly better out-of-the-box behaviour in Node.js environments[1].

[1] Although I'm not sure that we necessarily want to advertise this in the JSDocs, given the specialized use-case.
Rather than first checking if data exists before fetching it from storage, we can simply do the lookup directly and then check its value.
Note that this follows the same pattern as utilized in the `AnnotationStorage.setValue` method.
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.
Note how the `PDFAttachmentViewer` handles PDF file attachments specially, by opening them in a new window/tab, rather than forcing them to be downloaded. This is done to improve the overall UX, since browsers in general are able to handle PDF files internally.
However, for file *annotations* we're currently not attempting to do the same thing and are instead just downloading them directly. In order to unify the behaviour, without having to duplicate a lot of code, the opening of PDF file attachments is thus moved into a new `DownloadManager.openOrDownloadData` method.
- strokeColor corresponds to borderColor;
- support fillColor and textColor;
- support colors on the different annotations;
- fix typo in aforms (+test).
This is similar to the other methods, and the only reason for this not having been done originally is that the `cancel` functionality is a later addition.
Rather than converting the `AnnotationStorage`-data to an Object, before sending it to the worker-thread, we should be able to simply send the internal `Map` directly.
The "structured clone algorithm" doesn't have a problem with `Map`s, however the `LoopbackPort` used when workers are *disabled* (e.g. in Node.js environments) didn't use to support them. With PR 12997 having lifted that restriction, we should now be able to simply send the `AnnotationStorage`-data as-is rather than having to iterate through it to first create an Object.
*Please note:* The changes in `src/core/annotation.js` could have been a lot more compact if we were able to use optional chaining in the `src/core` folder. Unfortunately that's still not possible, since SystemJS is being used in the development viewer (i.g. `gulp server`) and fixing that is *still* blocked by [bug 1247687](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687).
*Please note:* The `defer` parameter has been enabled by default ever since PR 9777 (in 2018), which first shipped in PDF.js release `2.0.943`.
With workers *disabled*, e.g. in Node.js environments, this has been used ever since without any problems reported[1].
The impetus for this change was that I happened to notice that *if* the `LoopbackPort` was used with synchronous event dispatching, we'd simply send that data as-is to the listeners. This created an inconsistency in the data returned from the `pdf.worker.js` file, since `postMessage` used with *actual* workers (or the `LoopbackPort` with `defer = true`) will ignore/throw when encountering unclonable data.
Originally my intention was simply to just call `cloneValue` regardless of the event dispatching used in `LoopbackPort`, however looking at the use-cases (or lack thereof) of the `LoopbackPort` it seemed reasonable to simply remove the `defer` parameter instead.
This patch is tagged "[api-minor]" since the `LoopbackPort` is still exposed in the API, although I really hope that no third-party is using this (since disabling workers leads to bad performance).
Finally, this patch changes a `forEach` loop to `for...of` and makes uses of optional changing in existing code.

[1] As evident by the `npm test` command run by Github Actions, and previously by Travis.
The only reason, as far as I can tell, for parsing the Metadata on the main-thread is how it was originally implemented. When Metadata support was first implemented, it utilized the [`DOMParser`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DOMParser) which isn't available in workers.
Today, with the custom XML-parser being used, that's no longer an issue and it seems reasonable to move the Metadata parsing to the worker-thread[1], since that's where all parsing should happen (for performance reasons).
Based on these changes, we'll be able to reduce the now unnecessary duplication of the XML-parser (and related code) in both of the *built* `pdf.js`/`pdf.worker.js` files.
Finally, this patch changes the `_repair` method to use "Array + join" rather than string concatenation.
---
[1] This needed the previous patch, to enable sending of `Map`s between threads with workers disabled.
I happened to look at this code, and I can't for the life of me figure out why I didn't just implement it like this patch in the first place (since the current format feels overly verbose).
* don't set a value in annotationStorage by default:
- having an undefined when the annotation is rendered for saving/printing means nothing has changed so use normal appearance
- aims to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1681687
* change the way to compute font size when this one is null in DA:
- make fontSize proportional to line height
- in multiline case, take into account the number of lines for text entered to adapt the font size
- use ascent of the fallback font instead of the one from pdf to position spans
- use TextMetrics.fontBoundingBoxAscent if available or
- use a basic heuristic to guess ascent in drawing char on a canvas
- compute ascent as a ratio of font height
Given that `FontFaceObject` is not exposed in the public API, but only accessed internally, there's no need to assume that a `FontFaceObject`-instance is ever initialized without `onUnsupportedFeature` being provided. This is also consistent with the `BaseFontLoader` implementation.
- aims to fix issue #12868: apply zoom factor to linewidth after setting it to 1.
- only apply 1px-width when required
- the sign of getSinglePixelWidth is used to know if 1px-width is required
- Remove a *duplicated* reference test, see "issue12810", from the manifest.
- Improve the spelling in a couple of comments in `src/core/canvas.js`, most notable of the word "parallelogram".
- Update a comment, also in `src/core/canvas.js`, to actually agree with the value used to reduce confusion when reading the code.
Note first of all how the `PDFDocumentProxy.getJSActions` method in the API caches the result, which makes repeated lookups cheap enough to not really be an issue.
Secondly, with the previous patch, we're now only dispatching "pageopen"/"pageclose"-events when there's actually a sandbox that listens for them.
All-in-all, with these changes we can thus simplify the default-viewer "pageopen"-event handler a fair bit.
* add a comment to explain how minimal linewidth is computed.
* when context.linewidth < 1 after transform, firefox and chrome
don't render in the same way (issue #12810).
* set lineWidth to 1 after transform and before stroking
- aims fix issue #12295
- a pixel can be transformed into a rectangle with both heights < 1.
A single rescale leads to a rectangle with dim equals to 1 and
the other to something greater than 1.
* change the way to render rectangle with null dimensions:
- right now we rely on the lineWidth set before "re" but
it can be set after "re" and before "S" and in this case the rendering
will be wrong.
- render such rectangles as a single line.
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.
Given that the API will now, after PR 12039, automatically pick the correct factories to use depending on the environment (browser vs. Node.js), we can utilize that in the unit-tests as well. This way we don't have to manually repeat the same initialization code in *multiple* unit-tests.
*Note:* The *official* PDF.js API is defined in `src/pdf.js`, hence the new exports in `src/display/api.js` will not affect that.
Also, updates the unit-test `FileReaderFactory` helpers similarily.
*Drive-by change:* Fix the `CMapReaderFactory` usage in the annotation unit-tests, since the cache should only contain raw data and not a Promise. While this obviously works as-is, having unit-tests that "abuse" the intended data format can easily lead to unnecessary failures if changes are made to the relevant `src/core/` code.
