This patch is the first step towards implementing support for
interactive forms (AcroForms). It makes it possible to render text
widget annotations exactly like Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
Everything we implement for AcroForms is disabled by default using a
preference, mainly because it is not ready to use yet, but has to
implemented in many steps to avoid complexity. The preference allows us
to work with the code while not exposing the behavior by default. Mainly
storing entered values and printing them is still absent, which would be
minimal requirements for enabling this by default.
Currently, we only support text widget annotations (field type 'Tx')
partially. However, the current code does not make this entirely clear
and does not provide a warning when an unsupported field type is
encountered, making it harder to determine why rendering fails.
Moreover, in the display layer we make no distinction between the
various types of widget annotations, causing the code for text widget
annotations to also be executed for other types of widget annotations in
a fallback situation.
This patch improves the structure of the widget annotation code. In the
core layer, we use the same structure we use for non-widget annotations
in the factory and provide a clear warning when an unsupported type is
encountered. In the display layer, we do the same and split the
`WidgetAnnotationElement` class into two classes, namely
`TextWidgetAnnotationElement` for text widget annotations and
`WidgetAnnotationElement` for other unsupported annotations as a
fallback. From this it clear that we only support text widget
annotations and nothing else.
- Add support for the 'NewWindow' property.
- Ensure that destinations are applied to the *remote* document, instead of the current one.
- Handle the `F` entry being a standard string, instead of a dictionary.
This is required to be able to use it in the annotation display code,
where we now apply it to sanitize the filename of the FileAttachment
annotation. The PDF file from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1230933 has shown that some PDF generators include the path of the file rather than the filename, which causes filenames with weird initial characters. PDF viewers handle this differently (for example Foxit Reader just replaces forward slashes with spaces), but we think it's better to only show the filename as intended.
Additionally we add unit tests for the `getFilenameFromUrl` helper
function.
Re: issue 5089.
(Note that since there are other outline features that we currently don't support, e.g. bold/italic text and custom colours, I thus think we can keep the referenced issue open.)
Apparently some PDF files can have annotations with `URI` entries ending with `null` characters, thus breaking the links.
To handle this edge-case of bad PDFs, this patch moves the already existing utility function from `ui_utils.js` into `util.js`, in order to fix those URLs.
Fixes 6832.
Most code for Popup annotations is already present for Text annotations.
This patch extracts the popup creation logic from the Text annotation
code so it can be reused for Popup annotations.
Not only does this add support for Popup annotations, the Text
annotation code is also considerably easier. If a `Popup` entry is
available for a Text annotation, it will not be more than an image. The
popup will be handled by the Popup annotation. However, it is also
possible for Text annotations to not have a separate Popup annotation,
in which case the Text annotation handles the popup creation itself.
Additionally simplify the div creation logic (it needs to happen only
once, so it should not be in the for-loop) and remove/rename variables
for shorter code.
