Note how in the API we're transferring the PDF data that's fetched over the network[1]:
- f28bf23a31/src/display/api.js (L2467-L2480)
- f28bf23a31/src/display/api.js (L2553-L2564)
To support that functionality we have the `PDFDataTransportStream`, `PDFFetchStream`, `PDFNetworkStream`, and `PDFNodeStream` implementations. Here these stream-implementations vary slightly in how they handle `ArrayBuffer`s internally, w.r.t. transferring or copying the data:
- In `PDFDataTransportStream` we optionally, after PR 15908, allow transferring of the PDF data as provided externally (used e.g. in the Firefox PDF Viewer).
- In `PDFFetchStream` we're currenly always copying the PDF data returned by the Fetch API, which seems unnecessary. As discussed in PR 15908, it'd seem very weird if this sort of browser API didn't allow transferring of the returned data.
- In `PDFNetworkStream` we're already, since many years, transferring the PDF data returned by the `XMLHttpRequest` functionality. Note how the `getArrayBuffer` helper function simply returns an `ArrayBuffer` response as-is.
- In `PDFNodeStream` we're currently copying the PDF data, however this is unfortunately necessary since Node.js returns data as a `Buffer` object[2].
Given that the `PDFNetworkStream` has been, indirectly, supporting transferring of PDF data for years it would seem really strange if this didn't also apply to the `PDFFetchStream`-implementation.
Hence this patch simply enables transferring of PDF data, when accessed using the Fetch API, unconditionally to help reduced main-thread memory usage since the `PDFFetchStream`-implementation is used *by default* in browsers (for the GENERIC build).

[1] As opposed to PDF data being provided as e.g. a TypedArray when calling `getDocument` in the API.
[2] This is a "special" Node.js object, see https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer, which doesn't exist in browsers.
Also, removes the `initialData`-parameter JSDocs for the `getDocument`-function given that this parameter has been completely unused since PR 8982 (over five years ago). Note that the `initialData`-parameter is, and always was, intended to be provided when initializing a `PDFDataRangeTransport`-instance.
Given that this is internal functionality, not exposed in the official API, it's not entirely clear (at least to me) why we can't just initialize this directly in `src/display/api.js` instead.
When testing both the development viewer and all the ways in which we run tests, everthing still appears to work just fine with this patch.
This was deprecated in PR 15758 but it's unfortunately quite difficult to tell if third-party users are depending on this, e.g. to implement custom error reporting, and if so to what extent.
However, thanks to the pre-processor we can limit *most* of this code to GENERIC builds which still seem like a worthwhile change.
These changes reduce the bundle size of the Firefox PDF Viewer by 3.8 kB in total.
This was deprecated in PR 15758 and given that it's quite unlikely that any third-party users are relying on this functionality, since it was only ever added to support telemetry reporting in the Firefox PDF Viewer, it should hopefully be fine to remove this fairly quickly.
These changes reduce the bundle size of the Firefox PDF Viewer by 4.5 kB in total.
Given that the Fetch API only supports the http/https protocols, worker-thread fetching of CMaps and Standard-fonts may thus fail in certain cases. To improve the default behaviour we'll now also check that the `cMapUrl` and `standardFontDataUrl` options are appropriate, except in Firefox where this should always work.
Note how, in the scripting initialization in the viewer, we only ever invoke `PDFPageProxy.getJSActions` *once* per page in order to improve overall performance; see a575aa13b9/web/pdf_scripting_manager.js (L372-L375)
Hence it really shouldn't be necessary to cache its result in the API, especially when that is done *manually* rather than using something like `shadow`.
When we're destroying a `PDFPageProxy`-instance, during full document destruction, we'll force-abort any worker-thread parsing of operatorLists. Hence we should make sure that any pending cancel timeout is always aborted, since a later `PDFPageProxy._abortOperatorList` call should always "replace" a previous one.
*Please note:* Technically this was always wrong, but with the changes in PR 15825 it became *ever so slightly* easier to trigger this thanks to the potentially longer timeout.
By moving this code the "pageviewer"-component example will become slightly more usable on its own, it may simplify a future addition of XFA Foreground document support, and finally also serves as preparation for the following patches.
This is done to support upcoming viewer-changes, and in order to prevent third-party users from outright breaking things we'll simply ignore too large values.
It's a follow-up of #14950: some format actions are ran when the document is open
but we must be sure we've everything ready for that, hence we have to run some
named actions before runnig the global format.
In playing with the form, I discovered that the blur event wasn't triggered when
JS called `setFocus` (because in such a case the mouse was never down). So I removed
the mouseState thing to just use the correct commitKey when blur is triggered by a
TAB key.
In order to move the annotations in the DOM to have something which corresponds
to the visual order, we need to have their dimensions/positions which means that
the parent must have some dimensions.
While reviewing recent patches, I couldn't help but noticing that we now have a lot of call-sites that manually access the `PageViewport.viewBox`-property.
Rather than repeating that verbatim all over the code-base, this patch adds a lazily computed and cached getter for this data instead.
This was essentially done only to compensate for the viewer calling `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations` unconditionally on every annotationLayer-rendering invocation. With the previous patch that's no longer happening, and this API-caching should thus no longer be necessary.
An annotation editor layer can be destroyed when it's invisible, hence some
annotations can have a null parent but when printing/saving or when changing
font size, color, ... of all added annotations (when selected with ctrl+a) we
still need to have some parent properties especially the page dimensions, global
scale factor and global rotation angle.
This patch aims to remove all the references to the parent in the editor instances
except in some cases where an editor should obviously have one.
It fixes#15780.
The main issue is due to the fact that an editor's parent can be null when
we want to serialize it and that lead to an exception which break all the
saving/printing process.
So this incomplete patch fixes only the saving/printing issue but not the
underlying problem (i.e. having a null parent) and doesn't bring that much
complexity, so it should help to uplift it the next Firefox release.
Rather than handling these parameters separately, which is a left-over from back when streaming of textContent was originally added, we can simply pass either data directly to the `TextLayer` and let it handle things accordingly.
Also, improves a few JSDoc comments and `typedef`-imports.
Compared to the recent PR 15722 for the `textLayer` this one should be a (comparatively) much a smaller win overall, since most documents don't have any structTree-data and the required parsing should be cheaper. However, it seems to me that it cannot hurt to improve this nonetheless.
Note that by moving the `structTreeLayer` initialization we remove the need for the "textlayerrendered" event listener, which thus simplifies the code a little bit.
Also, removes the API-caching of the structTree-data since this was basically done to offset the lack of caching in the viewer.
*Please note:* I don't really expect that this is will be an observable change, since virtually all PDF documents already order e.g. /MediaBox and /CropBox entries correctly.
By normalizing boundingBoxes already on the worker-thread, we can be sure that even a corrupt document won't cause issues.
Note how we're passing the `view`-getter to the `PartialEvaluator.getTextContent` method, in order to detect textContent which is outside of the page, hence it makes sense to ensure that it's formatted as expected.
Furthermore, by normalizing this once on the worker-tread we should no longer have to worry about a possibly negative width/height in the `PageViewport` constructor.
Finally, the patch also simplifies the `view`-getter a little bit.
The idea is just to resuse what we got on the first draw.
Now, we only update the scaleX of the different spans and the other values
are dependant of --scale-factor.
Move some properties in the CSS in order to avoid any updates in JS.
The deprecation is included in the current release, i.e. version `3.1.81`, and given the edge-case nature of this option I really don't think that we need to keep it deprecated for multiple releases.
Currently both of the `AnnotationElement` and `KeyboardManager` classes contain *identical* `platform` getters, which seems like unnecessary duplication.
With the pre-processor we can also limit the feature-testing to only GENERIC builds, since `navigator` should always be available in browsers.
Add a deprecation notification for PDFDocumentLoadingTask.onUnsupportedFeature and PDFDocumentProxy.stats
which are likely useless.
The unsupported feature stuff have initially been added in (#4048) in order to be able to display a
warning bar and to help to have some numbers to know how a feature was used.
Those data are no more used in Firefox.
This is very old code, which is unused (by default) in browsers nowadays since the Font Loading API will always be preferred.
For Node.js environments we use the same constant as elsewhere throughout the code-base, and we can also simplify the Firefox-specific check given that the lowest supported version is `102` (as of this writing).
Finally the old TODO is removed, since the general availability of the Font Loading API has made it redundant.
This has never really been used anywhere within the PDF.js library[1], and when streaming of textContent was introduced this parameter was effectively made redundant.
Note that when streaming of textContent is used, all text-layout has already happened by the time that this `timeout`-functionality is actually invoked (thus making it pointless).
While the `timeout`-functionality may still "work" when the textContent is provided upfront, although it's never been used/tested, streaming will generally perform better (in e.g. a viewer setting).
*Please note:* While unrelated here, also removes a now unused property that I forgot in PR 15259.

[1] At least not since the code was moved into its current file, which happened in PR 6619 and landed seven years ago.
This can't be a particularly common feature, since we've supported Optional Content for over two years and this is the very first TilingPattern-case we've seen.
The reason for the issue is that we use the generic `getFilenameFromUrl` helper function, which was originally intended for regular URLs.
For the filenames we're dealing with in FileAttachments, we really only want to strip the path when one exists[1].

With modern EcmaScript features, we can define these fields directly instead. Please note that for backwards compatibility purposes they are still public as before, however note that this functionality is *disabled* by default (see the `pdfBug` API option).
Also, we can (slightly) simplify the two loops used in the `toString` method.
