In order to minimize the size the of a saved pdf, we generate only one
image and use a reference in each annotation using it.
When printing, it's slightly different since we have to render each page
independantly but we use the same image within a page.
This patch is the result of me going through some old issues regarding non-embedded Wingdings support.
There's a few different things wrong in the referenced PDF document:
- The /BaseFont and /FontName entries don't agree on the name of the fonts, with one font using `/BaseFont /Wingdings-Regular` and `/FontName /wg09np` which obviously makes no sense.
To address this we'll compare the font-names against our lists of known ones and ignore /FontName entries that don't make sense iff the /BaseFont entry is a known font-name.
- The non-embedded Wingdings font also set an incorrect /Encoding, in this case /MacRomanEncoding, which should have been fixed by PR 16465. However this doesn't work since the font has *bogus* font-flags, that fail to categorize the font as Symbolic.
To address this we'll also compare the font-name against the list of known symbol fonts.
Now that font-substitution has been implemented, we should be able to do much a better job at supporting non-embedded Wingdings fonts.
Given that this is a Windows-specific font, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingdings, this is however not guaranteed to work (well) on other platforms.
The affected font is non-embedded ZapfDingbats, however the PDF document for some inexplicable reason specifies the encoding as "WinAnsiEncoding" (which is obviously wrong).
To work-around this bug in the PDF generator, we'll simply ignore any explicitly specified named encoding for non-embedded symbol fonts.
Given that inline images may contain "EI"-sequences in the image-data itself, actually finding the end-of-image operator isn't always straightforward.
Here we extend the implementation from PR 12028 to potentially check all of the following bytes, rather than stopping immediately. While we have fairly decent test-coverage for this code, whenever you're changing it there's unfortunately a slightly higher than normal risk of regressions. (You'd really wish that PDF generators just stop using inline images.)
- if the contours count is lower than -1, the glyph is really likely wrong
so just remove it from the font;
- if a contour has the repeat flag then repeats count mustn't be 0.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_(typeface) this font should be available on all current versions of Windows, and with the recently added font-substitution we should actually be able to render it correctly (at least on Windows).
This essentially extends PR 11218 to also apply when looking up the final font-reference, via the XRef-table, fails because the font isn't available.
This patch also changes `PartialEvaluator.fallbackFontDict` to simply use "Helvetica" as the default font-name, since that seems generally reasonable given the now existing font-substitution code.
The /Decode-implementation in the our JPEG decoder, i.e. `src/core/jpg.js`, seems to only handle *inverting* of images properly. To support arbitrary /Decode-entries correctly we'll always use the `PDFImage.decodeBuffer` method, even for "simple" JPEG images, which should be fine since non-default /Decode-entries aren't a very common occurrence.
*Please note:* This patch will lead to a little bit of movement in some existing test-cases, however it should be virtually imperceivable to the naked eye.
Currently we have two separate image-caches on the worker-thread:
- A local one, which is unique to each `PartialEvaluator.getOperatorList` invocation. This one caches both names *and* references, since image-resources may be accessed in either way.
- A global one, which applies to the entire PDF documents and all its pages. This one only caches references, since nothing else would work.
This patch introduces a third image-cache, which essentially sits "between" the two existing ones. The new `RegionalImageCache`[1] will be usable throughout a `PartialEvaluator` instance, and consequently it *only* caches references, which thus allows us to keep track of repeated image-resources found in e.g. different /Form and /SMask objects.

[1] For lack of a better word, since naming things is hard...
This patch extends PR 16115 to work in all browsers, regardless of their `OffscreenCanvas` support, such that transfer functions will be applied to general rendering (and not just image data).
In order to do this we introduce the `BaseFilterFactory` that is then extended in browsers/Node.js environments, similar to all the other factories used in the API, such that we always have the necessary factory available in `src/display/canvas.js`.
These changes help simplify the existing `putBinaryImageData` function, and the new method can easily be stubbed-out in the Firefox PDF Viewer.
*Please note:* This patch removes the old *partial* transfer function support, which only applied to image data, from Node.js environments since the `node-canvas` package currently doesn't support filters. However, this should hopefully be fine given that:
- Transfer functions are not very commonly used in PDF documents.
- Browsers in general, and Firefox in particular, are the *primary* development target for the PDF.js library.
- The FAQ only lists Node.js as *mostly* supported, see https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#faq-support
PDF gradients do not have color stops but an arbitrary PDF function of
the type f(t) -> color. CSS gradients are only based on color stops.
Most PDF gradient functions are produced from color stop oriented
gradients.
Take advantage of this by sampling the PDF function at a higher
frequency but not converting any samples which could be interpolated to
color stops. The sampling frequency is chosen to be the least common
multiple of as many values as practical to exactly re-create the common
case of the PDF function implementing equally spaced linearly
interpolated stops in RGB color space. This also allows for better
approximation of other smooth PDF functions (non-linear, or non-equally
spaced, or in different color space).

This simply extends the approach in PR 10727 to also cover Patterns, which shouldn't be a common occurrence in Type3 fonts (since this is the first issue we've seen).
The idea is to encode large image in BMP format (which is very simple and doesn't
require to compute any checksums) and then use createImageBitmap with a BMP blob
(which doesn't suffer of the Canvas/ImageData limits).
From a performance point of view, it isn't crazy (generating a large blob + decoding
it on the main thread is really not ideal) but at least we've something to display
which is a way better than a blank page (and one can notice that most of the time is
spent in decoding the image from the pdf stream).
PDF 32000-1:2008 7.10.5.1 "Type 4 (PostScript Calculator) Functions"
defers to the PostScript Language Reference for the description of these
functions. The PostScript Language Reference, third edition chapter 8
"Operators" defines the `angle` type as a "number of degrees". Section
8.1 defines "angle `sin` real", "angle `cos` real", and "num den `atan`
angle". The documentation for `atan` further states that it will return
an angle in degrees between 0 and 360.
Handle these operators correctly in `PostScriptEvaluator.execute`.
Convert the inputs to `sin` and `cos` from degrees to radians for use
with `Math.sin` and `Math.cos`. Correctly pop two values from the stack
for `atan`, use `Math.atan2`, and convert from radians to (positive)
degrees.
I noticed several 'Path not found' errors because of a field called #subform[2].
From the XFA specs, the hash is used for a class of elements in the template tree.
When we're looking for a node in the datasets tree, it doesn't make sense to search
for a class. Hence the path element starting with a hash are just skipped.
*Please note:* I cannot reproduce the problem reported in bug 1811668, regarding the context menu, and in any case it's not clear that that part is even a PDF Viewer bug.
Looking at bug 1811668 I couldn't help but noticing that the textLayer isn't correct, and it's unfortunately once again a problem with the `adjustType1ToUnicode` function. That's intended to help improve text-selection for fonts without a /ToUnicode-entry, and in many cases it does help (the original PR fixed lots of issues) however it's also caused some problems.
In order to improve text-selection in bug 1811668, we'll now properly ignore fonts that have a predefined *named* encoding specified since that's really the intention with PR 14050.
The JBIG2 images in this PDF document are corrupt enough that even Adobe Reader warns about it when opening the file.
*Please note:* I don't really know the JBIG2 image format at all, however from a very brief look at the specification it seems that integers should be 32-bit.
The relevant TrueType font is missing both /ToUnicode *and* /Encoding entires, either of which would have prevented the (current) broken textLayer rendering.
My first idea was that we could use the `post` table in the TrueType font, see https://developer.apple.com/fonts/TrueType-Reference-Manual/RM06/Chap6post.html, to get the actual glyphNames and amend the fallback ToUnicode-map that way. Unfortunately that didn't work, since the `post` table only contained ".notdef" and "" (i.e. empty string) entries.
Instead we try to use the `name` table in the TrueType font, see https://developer.apple.com/fonts/TrueType-Reference-Manual/RM06/Chap6name.html, to determine if the platform is Windows and thus fallback to generate a ToUnicode-map from the `WinAnsiEncoding`.
