In some cases, such as in use with a CSP header, constructing a function with a
string of javascript is not allowed. However, compiling the various commands
that need to be done on the canvas element is faster than interpreting them.
This patch changes the font renderer to instead emit commands that are compiled
by the font loader. If, during compilation, we receive an EvalError, we instead
interpret them.
Serialize errors to make sure that the callback is still invoked when
an error is thrown.
Firefox:
"DataCloneError: The object could not be cloned."
Chrome:
"DataCloneError: Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'WorkerGlobalScope': An object could not be cloned."
CMaps may be sparse. Array.prototype.forEach is terribly slow in Chrome
(and also in Firefox) when the sparse array contains a key with a high
value. E.g.
console.time('forEach sparse')
var a = [];
a[0xFFFFFF] = 1;
a.forEach(function(){});
console.timeEnd('forEach sparse');
// Chrome: 2890ms
// Firefox: 1345ms
Switching to CMap.prototype.forEach, which is optimized for such
scenarios fixes the problem.
Currently in `switchSidebarView` there is code that attempts to handle the `outline` or `attachments` being disabled. However, given the placement of it, that code does not actually accomplish anything. Even more strange is the fact that the way that the buttons are disabled, that code won't ever be hit.
(Looking back with `git blame`, it seems that it has never worked as you'd expect.)
Hence this patch, which correctly disables switching to the `outline` or `attachments` views when they are disabled.
Once PR 6314 restores the 'pagemode' hash parameter, this patch thus makes it impossible to switch to a disabled sidebar view by modifying the 'pagemode' hash of an already loaded document.
This regressed in 0ef6212b64.
Since the 'pagemode' hash parameter requires certain viewer functionality (e.g. thumbnails and an outline) in order to work, it seemed reasonable to move the functionality from `pdf_link_service.js` into `viewer.js`.
Similar to `namedaction`, this patch makes use of an event to forward the 'pagemode' parameter.
pi is an index in the stream and is explained on page 201 of the 32000-spec (however 1-based there), and ps is an index to something in PDF.js. I used the code from flag 0 (which works) to understand which is which. It is also important to understand that for flags 1,2 and 3, the stream is always assigned to the same coordinates and colors. What changes is which "old" coordinates and colors are assigned to what is "missing" in the stream. This is why for these flags, the code is identical except for the assignments in the first "row". (Same principle as in #6304). Note that this change will not improve the lamp_cairo.pdf file, only the two files mentioned in #6305.
Short story: somebody got lost in two different indices. pi is an index in the stream and is explained on page 198 of the 32000-spec (however 1-based there), and ps is an index to something in PDF.js. I used the code from flag 0 (which works) to understand which is which. It is also important to understand that for flags 1,2 and 3, the stream is always assigned to the same coordinates and colors. What changes is which "old" coordinates and colors are assigned to what is "missing" in the stream. This is why for these flags, the code is identical except for the assignments in the first "row".
This is intended as a temporary solution, in order to get the "simpleviewer" example to work, until we've re-factored `scrollIntoView` to work in both the standard and components-based viewers.
Currently, `src/core/core.js` uses the `fromRef` method on an `Annotation` object to obtain the right annotation type object (such as `LinkAnnotation` or `TextAnnotation`). That method in turn uses a method `getConstructor` to find out which annotation type object must be returned.
Aside from the fact that there is currently a lot of code to achieve this, these methods should not be part of the base `Annotation` class at all. Creation of annotation object should be done by a factory (as also recommended by @yurydelendik at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/5218#issuecomment-52779659) that handles finding out the correct annotation type object and returning it. This patch implements this separation of concerns.
Doing this allows us to also simplify the code quite a bit and to make it more readable. Additionally, we are now able to get rid of the hardcoded array of supported annotation types. The factory takes care of checking the annotation types and falls back to returning the base annotation type (and issuing a warning, which the current code also does not do well) when an annotation type is unsupported.
I have manually tested this commit with 20 test PDFs with different annotation types, such as /Link, /Text, /Widget, /FileAttachment and /FreeText. All render identically before and after the patch, and unsupported annotation types are now properly indicated with a warning in the console.
Built-in DOM properties are slower than plain JS properties.
A few lines before, textContent is assigned as follows:
textDiv.textContent = geom.str;
So replacing textDiv.textContent.length with geom.str.length slightly
improves performance without side effects.
