Obviously it's still not possible to render non-embedded fonts as paths, but in this way the rest of the page will at least be allowed to continue rendering.
*Please note:* Including the 14 standard fonts in PDF.js probably wouldn't be *that* difficult to implement. (I'm not a lawyer, but the fonts from PDFium could probably be used given their BSD license.)
However, the main blocker ought to be the total size of the necessary font data, since I cannot imagine people being OK with shipping ~5 MB of (additional) font data with Firefox. (Based on the reactions when the CMap files were added, and those are only ~1 MB in size.)
The built-in image decoders are already using `Uint8ClampedArray` when returning data, and this patch simply extends that to the rest of the image/colorspace code.
As far as I can tell, the only reason for using manual clamping/rounding in the first place was because TypedArrays used to be polyfilled (using regular arrays). And trying to polyfill the native clamping/rounding would probably have been had too much overhead, but given that TypedArray support is required in PDF.js version `2.0` that's no longer a concern.
*Please note:* Because of different rounding behaviour, basically `Math.round` in `Uint8ClampedArray` respectively `Math.floor` in the old code, there will be very slight movement in quite a few existing test-cases. However, the changes should be imperceivable to the naked eye, given that the absolute difference is *at most* `1` for each RGB component when comparing `master` and this patch (see also the updated expectation values in the unit-tests).
Not only is the `Util.loadScript` helper function unused on the Worker side, even trying to use it there would throw an Error (since `document` isn't defined/available in Workers).
Hence this helper function is moved, and its code modernized slightly by having it return a Promise rather than needing a callback function.
Finally, to reduced code duplication, the "new" loadScript function is exported and used in the viewer.
This special handling was added in PR 8567, but was made redundant in PR 8721 which stopped sending everything but the kitchen sink to the Worker side.
Since `PDFPageProxy` already provide getters for all the data returned by `GetPage` (in the Worker), there isn't any compelling reason for accessing the `pageInfo` directly on `PDFPageProxy`.
The patch also changes the `GetPage` handler, in `src/core/worker.js`, to use modern JavaScript features.
Since `PDFDocumentProxy` already provide getters for all the data returned by `GetDoc` (in the Worker), there isn't any compelling reason for accessing the `pdfInfo` directly on `PDFDocumentProxy`.
After PR 8617 the `PDFManagerReady` message handler function, in `src/display/api.js`, is now a no-op. Hence it seems completely unnecessary to keep sending this message from `src/core/worker.js`.
With native typed array support now being mandatory in PDF.js, since version 2.0, this probably isn't a huge problem even though the current code seems wrong (it was changed in PR 6571).
Note how in the `!(data instanceof Uint8Array)` case we're currently attempting to send `handler.send('test', 'main', false);` to the main-thread, which doesn't really make any sense since the signature of the method reads `send(actionName, data, transfers) {`.
Hence the data that's *actually* being sent here is `'main'`, with `false` as the transferList, which just seems weird. On the main-thread, this means that we're in this case checking `data && data.supportTypedArray`, where `data` contains the string `'main'` rather than being falsy. Since a string doesn't have a `supportTypedArray` property, that check still fails as expected but it doesn't seem great nonetheless.
Since all the built-in PDF.js image decoders now return their data as `Uint8ClampedArray`, for consistency `JpegDecode` on the main-thread should be doing the same thing; follow-up to PR 8778.
The signature of the `PDFWorker.fromPort` method, in addition to the `PDFWorker` constructor, was changed in PR 9480.
Hence it's probably a good idea to add a bit more validation to `PDFWorker.fromPort`, to ensure that it won't fail silently for an API consumer that updates to version 2.0 of the PDF.js library.
With version 2.0, native support for typed arrays is now a requirement for using the PDF.js library; see PR 9094 where the old polyfills were removed.
Hence the `isTypedArraysPresent` check, when setting up fake workers, no longer serves any purpose here and can thus be removed.
There's no good reason, as far as I can tell, to duplicate the functionality of the `LoopbackPort` in the unit-tests. The only difference between the implementations is that `LoopbackPort` mimics the (native) structured cloning, however that shouldn't matter here since the tests are only sending "simple" data (strings respectively arrays with numbers).
Furthermore the patch also changes `LoopbackPort` to default to using "structured cloning" and deferred invocation of the listeners, since native typed array support is now a requirement for using the PDF.js library.
The `MessageHandler` itself, and its assorted helper functions, are currently the single largest[1] piece of code in the `src/shared/util.js` file. By moving this code into its own file, `src/shared/util.js` thus becomes smaller and more manageable.
Please note that while the current code works, both in the viewer and the unit-tests, it can leave the `WorkerTransport._passwordCapability` Promise in a pending state.
In the `PasswordRequest` handler, in src/display/api.js, we're returning the Promise from a `capability` object (rather than just a "plain" Promise). While an error thrown anywhere within this handler was fortunately enough to propagate it to the Worker side, it won't cause the Promise (in `WorkerTransport._passwordCapability`) to actually be rejected.
Finally note that while we're now catching errors in the `PasswordRequest` handler, those errors are still propagated to the Worker side via the (now) rejected Promise and the existing `return this._passwordCapability.promise;` line.
This prevents warnings about uncaught Promises, with messages such as "Error: Worker was destroyed during onPassword callback", when running the unit-tests both in browsers *and* in Node.js/Travis.
This should provide a better out-of-the-box experience when using PDF.js in a Node.js environment, since it's missing native support for both `@font-face` and `Image`.
Please note that this change *only* affects the default values, hence it's still possible for an API consumer to override those values when calling `getDocument`.
Also, prevents "ReferenceError: document is not defined" errors, when running the unit-tests in Node.js/Travis.
*This is a final piece of clean-up of code that I recently wrote, after which I'm done :-)*
When the `getMainThreadWorkerMessageHandler` function was added, in PR 9385, it did so by basically introducing a `web/app.js` dependency in `src/display/api.js` through the `window.pdfjsNonProductionPdfWorker` property[1]. Even though this is limited to non-`PRODUCTION` mode, i.e. `gulp server`, it still seems unfortunate to have that sort of viewer dependency in the API code itself.
With the new, much nicer and shorter, names introduced in PR 9565 we can remove this non-`PRODUCTION` hack and just use `window.pdfjsWorker` in both the viewer and the API regardless of the build mode.

[1] It didn't seem correct to piggy-back on the `window.pdfjsDistBuildPdfWorker` property in non-`PRODUCTION` mode.
The `getPageSizeInches` method was implemented on `PDFDocumentProxy`, which seems conceptually wrong since the size property isn't global to the document but rather specific to each page. Hence the method is moved into `PDFPageProxy`, as `get pageSizeInches` instead to address this.
Despite the fact that new API functionality was implemented, no unit-tests were added. To prevent issues later on, we should *always* ensure that new functionality has at least some test-coverage; something that this patch also takes care of.
The new `PDFDocumentProperties._parsePageSize` method seemed unnecessary convoluted. Furthermore, in the "no data provided"-case it even returned incorrect data (an array, rather than the expected object).
Finally, the fallback strings didn't actually agree with the `en-US` locale. This inconsistency doesn't look too great, and it's thus addressed here as well.
With options being moved from the global `PDFJS` object and into `getDocument`, a side-effect is that we're now passing in a fair number of useless parameters to the various transport/network streams.
Even though this doesn't *currently* cause any problems, it nonetheless seem like a good idea to explicitly provide the parameters that are actually necessary.
One additional complication with removing this option from the global `PDFJS` object, is that the viewer currently needs to check `disableAutoFetch` in a couple of places. To address this I'm thus proposing adding a getter in `PDFDocumentProxy`, to allow checking the *actually* used values for a particular `getDocument` invocation.
