Please note that the `glyphlist.js` and `unicode.js` files are converted to CommonJS modules instead, since Babel cannot handle files that large and they are thus excluded from transpilation.
Currently these methods accept a large number of parameters, which creates quite unwieldy call-sites. When invoking them, you have to remember not only what arguments to supply, but also the correct order, to avoid runtime errors.
Furthermore, since some of the parameters are optional, you also have to remember to pass e.g. `null` or `undefined` for those ones.
Also, adding new parameters to these methods (which happens occasionally), often becomes unnecessarily tedious (based on personal experience).
Please note that I do *not* think that we need/should convert *every* single method in `evaluator.js` (or elsewhere in `/core` files) to take parameter objects. However, in my opinion, once a method starts relying on approximately five parameter (or even more), passing them in individually becomes quite cumbersome.
With these changes, I obviously needed to update the `evaluator_spec.js` unit-tests. The main change there, except the new method signatures[1], is that it's now re-using *one* `PartialEvalutor` instance, since I couldn't see any compelling reason for creating a new one in every single test.
*Note:* If this patch is accepted, my intention is to (time permitting) see if it makes sense to convert additional methods in `evaluator.js` (and other `/core` files) in a similar fashion, but I figured that it'd be a good idea to limit the initial scope somewhat.

[1] A fun fact here, note how the `PartialEvaluator` signature used in `evaluator_spec.js` wasn't even correct in the current `master`.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/object-shorthand.
For the most part, these changes are of the search-and-replace kind, and the previously enabled `no-undef` rule should complement the tests in helping ensure that no stupid errors crept into to the patch.
Other PDF readers, e.g. Adobe Reader and PDFium (in Chrome), will attempt to render as much of a page as possible even if there are errors present.
Currently we just bail as soon the first error is hit, which means that we'll usually not render anything in these cases and just display a blank page instead.
NOTE: This patch changes the default behaviour of the PDF.js API to always attempt to recover as much data as possible, even when encountering errors during e.g. `getOperatorList`/`getTextContent`, which thus improve our handling of corrupt PDF files and allow the default viewer to handle errors slightly more gracefully.
In the event that an API consumer wishes to use the old behaviour, where we stop parsing as soon as an error is encountered, the `stopAtErrors` parameter can be set at `getDocument`.
Fixes, inasmuch it's possible since the PDF files are corrupt, e.g. issue 6342, issue 3795, and [bug 1130815](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1130815) (and probably others too).
*My apologies for inadvertently breaking this in PR 8064; apparently we don't have any tests that cover this use-case :(*
Without this patch `getTextContent` will fail if called before `getOperatorList`, since loading of fonts during text-extraction may require fetching of built-in CMap files.
*Please note:* The `text` test added here, which uses an already existing PDF file, fails without this patch.
[api-minor] Refactor fetching of built-in CMaps to utilize a factory on the `display` side instead, to allow users of the API to provide a custom CMap loading factory (e.g. for use with Node.js)
Currently the built-in CMap files are loaded in `src/core/cmap.js` using `XMLHttpRequest` directly. For some environments that might be a problem, hence this patch refactors that to instead use a factory to load built-in CMaps on the main thread and message the data to the worker thread.
This is inspired by other recent work, e.g. the addition of the `CanvasFactory`, and to a large extent on the IRC discussion starting at http://logs.glob.uno/?c=mozilla%23pdfjs&s=12+Oct+2016&e=12+Oct+2016#c53010.
Note that I initially tried to add this as a parameter to the `PDFPageProxy.render` method, such that it could be passed to `PartialEvaluator.getOperatorList`.
However, given all the different code-paths that call `getOperatorList` (there's a bunch only in `annotation.js`), this seemed to very quickly become unwieldy and thus difficult to maintain compared to simply using the existing `evaluatorOptions`.
See http://eslint.org/docs/rules/brace-style.
Having the opening/closing braces on the same line can often make the code slightly more difficult to read, in particular for `if`/`else if` statements, compared to using new lines.
This patch also, for consistency with `mozilla-central`, enables the [`no-iterator`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-iterator) rule. Note that this rule didn't require a single code change.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-unused-vars; note that this patch purposely uses the same rule options as in `mozilla-central`, such that it fixes part of issue 7957.
It wasn't, in my opinion, entirely straightforward to enable this rule compared to the already existing rules. In many cases a `var descriptiveName = ...` format was used (more or less) to document the code, and I choose to place the old variable name in a trailing comment to not lose that information.
I welcome feedback on these changes, since it wasn't always entirely easy to know what changes made the most sense in every situation.
This patch also removes the `UpdatePassword` message, in favour of using the `sendWithPromise` method of `MessageHandler`.
Furthermore, the patch also refactors the `BasePdfManager_updatePassword`/`BasePdfManager_passwordChanged` methods (in pdf_manager.js), and the `pdfManagerReady` function (in worker.js).
*Please note that most of the necessary code adjustments were made in PR 7890.*
ESLint has a number of advantageous properties, compared to JSHint. Among those are:
- The ability to find subtle bugs, thanks to more rules (e.g. PR 7881).
- Much more customizable in general, and many rules allow fine-tuned behaviour rather than the just the on/off rules in JSHint.
- Many more rules that can help developers avoid bugs, and a lot of rules that can be used to enforce a consistent coding style. The latter should be particularily useful for new contributors (and reduce the amount of stylistic review comments necessary).
- The ability to easily specify exactly what rules to use/not to use, as opposed to JSHint which has a default set. *Note:* in future JSHint version some of the rules we depend on will be removed, according to warnings in http://jshint.com/docs/options/, so we wouldn't be able to update without losing lint coverage.
- More easily disable one, or more, rules temporarily. In JSHint this requires using a numeric code, which isn't very user friendly, whereas in ESLint the rule name is simply used instead.
By default there's no rules enabled in ESLint, but there are some default rule sets available. However, to prevent linting failures if we update ESLint in the future, it seemed easier to just explicitly specify what rules we want.
Obviously this makes the ESLint config file somewhat bigger than the old JSHint config file, but given how rarely that one has been updated over the years I don't think that matters too much.
I've tried, to the best of my ability, to ensure that we enable the same rules for ESLint that we had for JSHint. Furthermore, I've also enabled a number of rules that seemed to make sense, both to catch possible errors *and* various style guide violations.
Despite the ESLint README claiming that it's slower that JSHint, https://github.com/eslint/eslint#how-does-eslint-performance-compare-to-jshint, locally this patch actually reduces the runtime for `gulp` lint (by approximately 20-25%).
A couple of stylistic rules that would have been nice to enable, but where our code currently differs to much to make it feasible:
- `comma-dangle`, controls trailing commas in Objects and Arrays (among others).
- `object-curly-spacing`, controls spacing inside of Objects.
- `spaced-comment`, used to enforce spaces after `//` and `/*. (This is made difficult by the fact that there's still some usage of the old preprocessor left.)
Rules that I indend to look into possibly enabling in follow-ups, if it seems to make sense: `no-else-return`, `no-lonely-if`, `brace-style` with the `allowSingleLine` parameter removed.

Note that in `FIREFOX/MOZCENTRAL/CHROME` builds of the standard viewer the `docBaseUrl` parameter will be set by default, since in that case it makes sense to use the current URL as a base.
For the `GENERIC` viewer, or the API itself, it doesn't make sense to try and set the `docBaseUrl` by default. However, custom deployments/implementations may still find the parameter useful.
If interactive forms are enabled, then the display layer takes care of
rendering the form elements. There is no need to draw them on the canvas
as well. This also leads to issues when values are prefilled, because
the text fields are transparent, so the contents that have been rendered
onto the canvas will be visible too.
We address this issue by passing the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter
to the render task and handling it when the page is rendered (i.e., when
the canvas is rendered).
From the discussion in issue 7445, it seems that there may be cases where an API consumer would want to get the text content as is, without combined text items.
This patch goes a bit further than issue 6612 requires, and replaces all kinds of whitespace with standard spaces.
When testing this locally, it actually seemed to slightly improve two existing test-cases (`tracemonkey-text` and `taro-text`).
Fixes 6612.
Currently `getAnnotations` will *only* fetch annotations that are either `viewable` or `printable`. This is "hidden" inside the `core.js` file, meaning that API consumers might be confused as to why they are not recieving *all* the annotations present for a page.
I thus think that the API should, by default, return *all* available annotations unless specifically told otherwise. In e.g. the default viewer, we obviously only want to display annotations that are `viewable`, hence this patch adds an `intent` parameter to `getAnnotations` that makes it possible to decide if only `viewable` or `printable` annotations should be fetched.
I received multiple reports about the following cryptic error in the
Chrome extension when the user tried to open a local file:
> PDF.js v1.1.527 (build: 2096a2a)
> Message: Cannot read property 'Symbol(Symbol.iterator)' of null
This error most likely originated from core/stream.js:
function Stream(arrayBuffer, start, length, dict) {
this.bytes = (arrayBuffer instanceof Uint8Array ?
arrayBuffer : new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer));
^^^^^^^^^^^
`arrayBuffer` is `null`, and that in turn is caused by the fact that
for non-existing files, there is no data. I've applied two fixes:
1. Never call onDone with a void buffer, but call the error handler
instead.
2. Show a sensible error message for local files with status = 0.
In the `RenderPageRequest` handler in `worker.js`, we attempt to print an `info` message containing the rendering time and the length of the operator list. The latter is currently broken (and has been for quite some time), since the `length` of an `OperatorList` is reset when flushing occurs.
This patch attempts to rectify this, by adding a getter which keeps track of the total length.
After PR 5263, setting `disableAutoFetch = true` in the generic viewer no longer works correctly, since the entire file loads even with `disableStream = true`.
Currently when an exception is thrown, we try to reject `workerReadyCapability` with multiple arguments in src/core/api.js. This obviously doesn't work, hence this patch changes that to instead reject with the exception object as is.
In src/core/worker.js the exception is currently (unncessarily) wrapped in an object, so this patch also simplifies that to directly send the exception object instead.
Added an "InteractiveAnnotation" class to homogenize the annotations' structure (highlighting) and user interactions (for now, used for text and link annotations).
Text annotations:
The appearance (AP) has priority over the icon (Name).
The popup extends horizontally (up to a limit) as well as vertically.
Reduced the title's font size.
The annotation's color (C) is used to color the popup's background.
On top of the mouseover show/hide behavior, a click on the icon will lock the annotation open (for mobile purposes). It can be closed with another click on either the icon or the popup.
An annotation printing is conditioned by its "print" bit
Unsupported annotations are not displayed at all.
