The reason for the issue is that we use the generic `getFilenameFromUrl` helper function, which was originally intended for regular URLs.
For the filenames we're dealing with in FileAttachments, we really only want to strip the path when one exists[1].

With modern EcmaScript features, we can define these fields directly instead. Please note that for backwards compatibility purposes they are still public as before, however note that this functionality is *disabled* by default (see the `pdfBug` API option).
Also, we can (slightly) simplify the two loops used in the `toString` method.
These fields were never intended to be public, since modifying them manually would lead to inconsistent state, and with modern EcmaScript features we can now enforce this.
Also, this patch removes a couple of JSDoc comments that we generally don't use.
- For text fields
* when printing, we generate a fake font which contains some widths computed thanks to
an OffscreenCanvas and its method measureText.
In order to avoid to have to layout the glyphs ourselves, we just render all of them
in one call in the showText method in using the system sans-serif/monospace fonts.
* when saving, we continue to create the appearance streams if the fonts contain the char
but when a char is missing, we just set, in the AcroForm dict, the flag /NeedAppearances
to true and remove the appearance stream. This way, we let the different readers handle
the rendering of the strings.
- For FreeText annotations
* when printing, we use the same trick as for text fields.
* there is no need to save an appearance since Acrobat is able to infer one from the
Content entry.
PR 13725 was only intended as a temporary work-around, and it seems that we can now revert that.
- Firefox 102 is the currently maintained ESR-branch, and the PDF.js project only supports the active one.
- Node.js now works, thanks to the `node-canvas` package, and I've confirmed locally that following the STR in issue 13724 generates a correct image.
- When we're editing some annotations, keeping the role="text-box" make them visible
as editable and VoiceOver (Mac) is able to read the contents when they're focused;
- Add an attribute "aria-activedescendant" in order to make the content discoverable
by NVDA on Windows.
Note how we're currently skipping all main-thread cleanup when document destruction has started, but for some reason we're still dispatching the "Cleanup" message.
This seems like a simple oversight, since destruction will already invoke the `BasePdfManager.cleanup` method (on the worker-thread) to fully clear-out all caches.
When a new PDF document is opened in the GENERIC viewer we (obviously) create a new `AnnotationEditorUIManager`-instance, since those are document-specific, and thus we need to ensure that we actually register the `editorTypes` for each one.
Looking at the code on the worker-thread, there doesn't appear to be any particular reason for placing *some* of the properties in a `source`-object when sending them with "GetDocRequest".
As is often the case the explanation for this structure is rather "for historical reasons", since originally we simply sent the `source`-object as-is. Doing that was obviously a bad idea, for a couple of reasons:
- It makes it less clear what is/isn't actually needed on the worker-thread.
- Sending unused properties will unnecessarily increase memory usage.
- The `source`-object may contain unclonable data, which would break the library.
Rather than sending all of these parameters individually and then grouping them together on the worker-thread, we can simply handle that in the API instead.
This patch first of all makes `isOffscreenCanvasSupported` configurable, defaulting to `true` in browsers and `false` in Node.js environments, with a new `getDocument` parameter. While you normally want to use this, in order to improve performance, it should still be possible for users to control it (similar to e.g. `isEvalSupported`).
The specific problem, as reported in issue 14952, is that the SVG back-end doesn't support the new ImageMask data-format that's introduced in PR 14754. In particular:
- When the SVG back-end is used in Node.js environments, this patch will "just work" without the user needing to make any code changes.
- If the SVG back-end is used in browsers, this patch will require that `isOffscreenCanvasSupported: false` is added to the `getDocument`-call.
*Please note:* The referenced issue is the only mention that I can find, in either GitHub or Bugzilla, of "GoToE" actions.
Hence why I've purposely settled for a very simple, and partial, "GoToE" implementation to avoid complicating things initially.[1] In particular, this patch only supports "GoToE" actions that references the /EmbeddedFiles-dict in the PDF document.

[1] Usually I always prefer having *real-world* test-cases to work with, whenever I'm implementing new features.
This is yet another small piece of clean-up of the `FontLoader`-code, since we've not used this `id`-property for anything ever since PR 6571 (which landed almost seven years ago). Furthermore, by default we're also not even using that code-path now since the Font Loading API will always be used when available.
*Please note:* This is tagged `[api-minor]` since it's technically observable from the outside, however no user ought to be directly interacting with these CSS font rules.
Given that Firefox supports *synchronous* font loading, when the Font Loading API isn't being used, there's really no point including code which if called would just throw in the MOZCENTRAL build. (This is safe, since the `FontLoader.isSyncFontLoadingSupported`-getter always return `true` there.)
After the changes in PR 10539 (which landed over three years ago) the `FontLoader.bind` method can only be called with *a single* font at a time, hence the `_prepareFontLoadEvent` method obviously don't need to support multiple fonts any more.
By having just *one* class, and using pre-processor blocks directly in the relevant methods, we reduce the size of this code in the *built* `pdf.js` file.
Originally, when the `BaseFontLoader` abstraction was added in PR 9982, the idea was probably that additional build-targets would get their own implementations. Given that this hasn't happened in the four years since that landed, it doesn't seem meaningful to keep it around.
The existing `loadingContext` class-property can be simplified slightly, since we've not been using the `id`-property on the requests ever since PR 3477 (which landed nine years ago).
Furthermore, by default we're also not even using that code-path now since the Font Loading API will always be used when available.
This patch updates a bunch of older code, that makes conditional function calls, to use optional chaining rather than `if`-blocks.
These mostly mechanical changes reduce the size of the `gulp mozcentral` build by a little over 1 kB.
Note that this patch implements the `SetOCGState`-handling in `PDFLinkService`, rather than as a new method in `OptionalContentConfig`[1], since this action is nothing but a series of `setVisibility`-calls and that it seems quite uncommon in real-world PDF documents.
The new functionality also required some tweaks in the `PDFLayerViewer`, to ensure that the `layersView` in the sidebar is updated correctly when the optional-content visibility changes from "outside" of `PDFLayerViewer`.
---
[1] We can obviously move this code into `OptionalContentConfig` instead, if deemed necessary, but for an initial implementation I figured that doing it this way might be acceptable.
It slightly helps to reduce the code size and its complexity.
But the cool thing is that it allows to copy/paste some anntations from a pdf
to an other.
A number of Annotation-types are currently creating their own PopupAnnotations, since they need to use a custom `trigger`-element. However, because of where that check is currently implemented[1] we end up attaching empty/unused containers for those PopupAnnotations to the DOM[2]; see e.g. the `annotation-line.pdf` file in the test-suite for one example.
By instead moving the types-check into the `PopupAnnotationElement` constructor, we can completely skip those PopupAnnotations that are being explicitly handled elsewhere.
Note that I don't *believe* that this is a new issue, although I've not tried to bisect it, but this likely goes back quite some time (possibly even as far as PR 8228).
---
[1] In the `PopupAnnotationElement.render` method.
[2] Please note that the actual Popup-element *itself* isn't being attached/rendered here, just its container which by itself serves no purpose as far as I can tell.
There's three notable exceptions here:
- The `saveDocument` one is converted into a permanent `warn`, since it still works when the `annotationStorage` is empty although it's (obviously) less efficient than `getData`.
- The `fallbackWorkerSrc` functionality (for browsers), since just removing it would risk too much third-party breakage.
- The SVG back-end, since a final decision is yet to be made. (It might be completely removed, or left as-is in an essentially "frozen" state.)
Note that this patch prepends the document title with "* ", rather than only "*" as suggested in the bug, since there's nothing that says that a PDF document cannot specify a title[1] beginning with an asterisk. To reduce possible confusion, having a space between the "editing marker" and the actual document title thus cannot hurt as far as I'm concerned.
In order to notify the viewer when all `AnnotationEditor`s have been removed, we utilize the existing `onAnnotationEditor`-callback to allow the document title to be updated as necessary.
Finally, this patch makes the following (slightly unrelated) changes:
- Rename the `AnnotationStorage.removeKey` method to just `AnnotationStorage.remove` instead. This is consistent with e.g. the `has`-method and should suffice to explain what it does.
- Remove the `AnnotationStorage.hasAnnotationEditors` getter, since the viewer now tracks the necessary state internally. This avoids unnecessarily having to iterate through the `AnnotationStorage`-instance when saving/printing the document.
---
[1] Using either an /Info dictionary or a /Metadata stream.
This functionality has never been used anywhere in the PDF.js library/viewer itself, since it was added in 2013.
Furthermore this functionality is, and has always been, *completely untested* and also unmaintained.
Finally, there's (at least) one old issue about `appendImage` not returning the correct position; see issue 4182.
All-in-all, it seems that keeping very old, untested, unmaintained, and partially broken code around probably isn't what we want here.
(On the off-chance that any future a11y-work requires getting access to image-positions, it'd likely be much better to re-implement the necessary functionality from scratch and also make sure that it's properly tested from the beginning.)
This old method, which is only used with the `imageLayer` functionality, is essentially just a re-implementation of the existing `Util.applyTransform` method.
*This is a follow-up to PR 14869.*
In the old code we're accidentally "swallowing" part of the event-details, which explains why the annotationLayer didn't render.
One thing that made debugging a lot harder was the lack of error messages, from the viewer, and a few `PDFPageView`-methods were updated to improve this situation.
- Remove the `typeof Worker` check, since all browsers have had `Worker` support for many years now; see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Worker#browser_compatibility
Furthermore the `new Worker(...)` call is wrapped in try-catch, which means that we'll still fallback to "fake workers" if necessary.
- Limit the `fallbackWorkerSrc` handling, in the `PDFWorker.workerSrc` getter, to only GENERIC builds since that's the only place where it's defined anyway.
This was moved into the `src/display/`-folder in PR 15110, for the initial editor-a11y patch. However, with the changes in PR 15237 we're again only using `binarySearchFirstItem` in the `web/`-folder and it thus seem reasonable to move it back there.
The primary reason for moving it back is that `binarySearchFirstItem` is currently exposed in the public API, and we always want to avoid that unless it's either PDF-related functionality or code that simply must be shared between the `src/`- and `web/`-folders. In this case, `binarySearchFirstItem` is a general helper function that doesn't really satisfy either of those alternatives.
This patch doesn't structurally change the text layer: it just adds some aria-owns
attributes to some spans.
The aria-owns attribute expect to have an element id, hence it's why it adds back an
id on the element rendering an annotation, but this id is built in using crypto.randomUUID
to avoid any potential issues with the hash in the url.
The elements in the annotation layer are moved into the DOM in order to have them in the
same "order" as they visually are.
The overall goal is to help screen readers to present to the user the annotations as
they visually are and as they come in the text flow.
It is clearly not perfect, but it should improve readability for some people with visual
disabilities.
According to MDN `Path2D` is available in all browsers that we currently support, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Path2D#browser_compatibility
Hence only Node.js is currently lagging behind here, and requires that we keep the old code as a fallback in the `compileType3Glyph` function. However, there's an open PR in the `node-canvas` repository for adding `Path2D` support.
As far as I'm concerned, there's two possible solutions here:
- We land this patch now, since it removes unnecessary code in e.g. the Firefox PDF Viewer, which means that compilation of Type3 glyphs will be disabled in Node.js until that PR is landed.[1]
If users report bugs about Type3 glyphs looking "inconsistent" in Node.js and/or being slow to render, we could perhaps encourage them to upvote and otherwise help out getting that PR landed?
- We wait for the mentioned PR to land *first*, before moving forward with this patch. Given that there's been no updates on that PR for almost two months, this alternative may possibly take a while.
---
[1] Note that Type3 fonts are first of all not very common in PDF documents, and secondly that compilation only applies specifically to Type3 glyphs that contain /ImageMask-data (i.e. not all Type3 fonts are affected).
While this has always worked, as a consequence of the implementation, it's never been officially supported.
In addition to adding basic unit-tests, this patch also introduces a couple of new JSDoc `@typedef`s in the API to avoid overly long lines.
By doing this in the worker-thread this code will only need to run *once*, whereas currently re-rendering of a page forces this to be repeated (e.g. after it's been scrolled out-of-view and then back into view again).
When a FreeText editor is pasted then it hasn't an editorDiv yet when added
to the layer, hence it's empty.
So this patch just move the call to addToAnnotationStorage to ensure we've
what we need.
An annotation doesn't have to be in the text flow, hence it's likely a bad idea
to insert its text in the text layer. But the text must be visible from a screen
reader point of view so it must somewhere in the DOM.
So with this patch, the text from a FreeText annotation is extracted and added in
a div in its HTML counterpart, and with the patch #15237 the text should be visible
and positioned relatively to the text flow.
To improve performance of the sidebar we use the page-canvases to generate the thumbnails whenever possible, since that avoids unnecessary re-rendering when the sidebar is open. This works generally well, however there's an old problem in PDF documents that contain interactive forms (when those are enabled): Note how the thumbnails become partially (or fully) blank, since those Annotations are not included in the OperatorList.[1]
We obviously want to keep using the `PDFThumbnailView.setImage`-method for most documents, however we need a way to skip it only for those pages that contain interactive forms.
As it turns out it's unfortunately not all that simple to tell, after the fact, from looking only at the OperatorList that some Annotations were skipped. While it might have been possible to try and infer that in the viewer, it'd not have been pretty considering that at the time when rendering finishes the annotationLayer has not yet been built.
The overall simplest solution that I could come up with, was instead to include a *summary* of the interactive form-state when doing the final "flushing" of the OperatorList and expose that information in the API.
---
[1] Some examples from our test-suite: `annotation-tx2.pdf` where the thumbnail is completely blank, and `bug1737260.pdf` where the thumbnail is missing the "buttons" found on the page.
We can undo/redo a command which will at some point add a command in the queue: typically
it can happening when redoing an addition.
So the idea is to lock the queue when undoing/redoing.
This will allow us to improve the `PDFThumbnailView.setImage` handling in the viewer, and thanks to the added caching this should be reasonbly efficient.
Given that Optional Content visibility is only intended/supported to be updated via the `OptionalContentConfig.setVisibility`-method, this patch actually enforces that now.
Note that this will be used by the next patch in the series, and will help prevent inconsistent state in the `OptionalContentConfig`-class.
*Please note:* This patch also uncovered a pre-existing bug, related to iterating through the visibility groups in the constructor, for the `baseState === "OFF"` case.
