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.
*Follow-up to PR 6546.*
If rendering has already started when the document is destroyed, then `this.pageCache[data.pageIndex]` may already have been cleared when the `StartRenderingPage`/`RenderPageChunk` messages are recieved in `api.js`, which results in `TypeError`s being thrown.
We should never actually try to execute `paintXObject` in canvas.js, but in some cases where we fail to parse the PDF file correctly it can happen. Currently this will potentially cause an entire page to fail to render, which seems suboptimal.
With this patch, we will instead continue rendering with a warning that things might not work correctly.
`operatorList.addOp` adds the arguments to the list which is then
passed as-is by postMessage to the main thread. But since we don't
parse these operations, they are raw PDF objects and may therefore
cause a serialization error.
This is a conservative patch, and only affects operators which are
known to be unsupported. We should ignore all unknown operators,
but I haven't really looked into the consequences of doing that.
Fixes#6549
In PR 6485 I somehow missed to account for the case where `xref` is undefined. Since a dictonary can be initialized without providing a reference to an `xref` instance, `Dict_getArray` can thus fail without this added check.
Replaces `PDFJS.openExternalLinksInNewWindow` with a more generic configuration option.
*Note:* `PDFJS.openExternalLinksInNewWindow = true;` is equal to `PDFJS.externalLinkTarget = PDFJS.LinkTarget.BLANK;`.
According to the PDF spec 5.3.2, a positive value means in horizontal,
that the next glyph is further to the left (so narrower), and in
vertical that it is further down (so wider).
This change fixes the way PDF.js has interpreted the value.
This patch adjusts `get fingerprint` to also check that the `/ID` entry contains (non-empty) strings, to prevent more possible failures when loading corrupt PDF files (follow-up to PR 5602).
Note that I've not actually encountered such a PDF file in the wild. However given that `stringToBytes` will assert that the input is a string, and that we'll thus fail to load a document unless `get fingerprint` succeeds, making this more robust seems like a good idea to me.
For (1, 0) cmaps, we have two different codepaths depending on whether the font has/hasn't got an encoding. But with (3, 1) cmaps we don't have a good fallback when the encoding is missing, hence this patch changes `readCmapTable` to only choose a (3, 1) cmap table if the font is non-symbolic *and* an encoding exists. Without this, we'll not be able to successfully create a working glyph map for some TrueType fonts with (3, 1) cmap tables.
Fixes 6410.
This code was added in PR 1214, but was made obsolete by PRs 1488/1493. Prior to the latter ones, `Dict_get` retured the raw objects. However, afterwards (and currently) `Dict_get` now resolves indirect objects, which makes `Parser_fetchIfRef` redundant.
*Potential risks with this patch:*
This patch passes all tests locally, but there's a *small* possibility that it could break some weird PDF files.
In the current code, wrapping `Dict_get` inside `Parser_fetchIfRef` will potentially mean two back-to-back call of `XRef_fetch`, if a reference points directly to another reference. I'm not sure if this can actually happen in practice, and I'd think that if that were the case we'd already have run into it elsewhere in the code-base, given that `Parser` is the only place where we try to "double" resolve references.
Fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1200096.
The problematic font has a `format 2` cmap, which we've never supported properly. Prior to PR 2606, we were able to fallback to a working state, despite not having proper support for that cmap format.
Obviously the best/correct solution would be to implement actual support for more cmap formats[1]. However, I'm hoping that a simple patch will be OK for now, given that:
- `format 2` cmaps seem to be quite rare in practice, since this has been broken for 2.5 years before anyone noticed.
- Having a simple patch will make potential uplifts a lot easier.
