In a1cfa5f4d7, the textLayerMode
preference was introduced, to replace the disableTextLayer and
enhanceTextSelection preferences.
As a result, the text selection preference was no longer visible
in Chrome (because preferences are only rendered by default for
boolean preferences, not for enumerations).
This commit adds the necessary bits to
extensions/chromium/options/options.{html,js}
so that the textLayerMode preference can be changed again.
Also, migration logic has been added to move over preferences
from the old to the new names:
- In web/chromecom.js, the logic is added to translate
preferences that were set by an administrator (it is read-only,
so this layer is unavoidable).
- In extensions/chromium/options/migration.js, similar logic is
added, except in this case the preference storage is writable,
so this migration logic happens only once.
The "enhanced text selection" mode is still experimental, so it
has been marked as experimental to signal that there may be bugs.
The list of tasks that block promotion to stable is at #7584.
This partially reverts df0836b9b8.
The entry in preferences_schema.json is restored because that is
required to make managed preferences visible to the extension code.
The default key is still removed from default_preferences.json,
because this change only concerns the Chrome extension, not the
other parts of PDF.js. To account for the missing key, the
deprecated key was added back in chromecom.js
The key needs to be restored in preferences_schema.json too,
because that's the only way to make managed preferences visible.
I'm using `Object.assign`, which was introduced in Chrome 45,
so the preference module will break in Chrome 45 and earlier.
This is fine, because we do not support Chrome before 49.
Rather than having two different (but connected) options for the textLayer, I think that it makes sense to try and unify this. For example: currently if `disableTextLayer === true`, then the value of `enhanceTextSelection` is simply ignored.
Since PDF.js version `2.0` already won't be backwards compatible in lots of ways, I don't think that we need to worry about migrating existing preferences here.
This rule is available from https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-mozilla, and is enforced in mozilla-central. Note that we have the necessary `Array`/`String` polyfills and that most cases have already been fixed, see PRs 9032 and 9434.
Merge ftp and file handler now their implementations are identical.
Remove redundant comment (the referenced Chrome bug has been fixed
a long time ago - https://crbug.com/302548 ).
Note that the PageMode, as specified in the API, will only be honoured when either: the user hasn't set the `sidebarViewOnLoad` preference to a non-default value, or a non-default `sidebarView` entry doesn't exist in the view history, or the "pagemode" hash parameter is included in the URL.
Since this is new functionality, the patch also includes a preference (`disablePageMode`), to make it easy to opt-out of this functionality if the user/implementor so wishes.
Add UI for the cursorToolOnLoad pref in the UI of the Chrome extension.
Add logic to migrate the enableHandToolOnLoad pref to cursorToolOnLoad.
For past values in the mutable extension storage area:
1. If enableHandToolOnLoad=true, save cursorToolOnLoad=1.
2. Remove enableHandToolOnLoad.
For the managed extension storage, which is immutable since it is based
on administrative policies, use the following logic:
1. If enableHandToolOnLoad=true and cursorToolOnLoad=0 (default).
set cursorToolOnLoad=0 and assume enableHandToolOnLoad=false.
2. As usual, managed preferences can (and will) be overridden by the user.
The first migration logic is in extensions/chromium/options/migration.js
and can be removed after a few months / less than many years.
The second migration logic is in web/chromecom.js, and should be kept
around for a long while (many years).
The need for this migration logic arises from the change by:

Given that we currently have quite inconsistent object formatting, fixing this in in one big patch probably wouldn't be feasible (since I cannot imagine anyone wanting to review that); hence I've opted to try and do this piecewise instead.
Please note: This patch was created automatically, using the ESLint `--fix` command line option. In a couple of places this caused lines to become too long, and I've fixed those manually; please refer to the interdiff below for the only hand-edits in this patch.

With the current way that the `HandTool` is implemented, if someone would try to also add a Zoom tool (as issue 1260 asks for) that probably wouldn't work very well given that you'd then have two cursor tools which may not play nice together.
Hence this patch, which attempts to refactor things so that it should be simpler to add e.g. a Zoom tool as well (given that that issue is marked as "good-beginner-bug", and I'm not sure if that really applies considering the current state of the code).
Note that I personally have no interest in implementing a Zoom tool (similar to Adobe Reader) since I wouldn't use it, but I figured that it can't hurt to make this code a bit more future proof.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/object-shorthand.
Unfortunately, based on commit 9276d1dcd9, it seems that we still need to maintain compatibility with old Node.js versions, hence certain files/directories that are executed in Node.js are currently exempt from this rule.
Furthermore, since the files specific to the Chromium extension are not run through Babel, the `/extensions/chromium/` directory is also exempt from this rule.
I happened to notice that some inequalities had the wrong order, and was surprised since I thought that the `yoda` rule should have caught that.
However, reading http://eslint.org/docs/rules/yoda#options a bit more closely than previously, it's quite obvious that the `onlyEquality` option does *exactly* what its name suggests. Hence I think that it makes sense to adjust the options such that only ranges are allowed instead.
When a blob or data-URL is opened with the extension, viewer.html
rewrites the URL. But when the viewer is refreshed (e.g. F5), Chrome
would fail to display the viewer because the extension router was not
set up to recognize such URLs.
Now it is.
Using `else` after `return` is not necessary, and can often lead to unnecessarily cluttered code. By using the `no-else-return` rule in ESLint we can avoid this pattern, see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-else-return.
*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.

This patch implements the page label functionality in a similar way as Adobe Reader.
For documents with page labels, if a non-existent page label is entered we'll try to fallback to the page number instead.
The patch also includes a preference (`disablePageLabels`), to make it easy to opt-out of using page labels if the user/implementor so wishes.
The way that `get/set currentPageLabel` is implemented in `PDFViewer`, is as wrappers for the corresponding `get/set currentPageNumber` functions, since that seemed like the cleanest solution.
The page labels are purposely *only* added to the page controls in the viewer UI, and not stored in e.g. the `ViewHistory`. Since doing so would mean adding unnecessary code complexity, without any real added value, and would also mean delaying the inital loading of PDF documents.
Note that this patch will ignore page labels if they are identical to standard page numbering, since in this case displaying the page labels adds no value (but only UI noise). The reason for handling this case specially, is that in practice a surprising number of PDF files include "pointless" page labels.
A user encountered a response that looks like:
URL: some gibberish
Headers:
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="something.pdf"
In the Chrome extension, the "attachment" content disposition is almost
always ignored (i.e. the PDF Viewer will try to view it anyway). So we
need to fall back to the Content-Disposition header if the URL check is
inconclusive.
Please note that this is a hack, but I think that it should be OK for now to atleast get the preference landed. Refer to the code comment for further information.
Re: issue 7584 and PR 7586.
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.
Test:
1. Build the Chrome extension and load it.
2. Visit https://robwu.nl/pdfjs/object-embed.html
3. Verify that all displayed blocks have the same width and
height as the reference ("Expected dimension").

Server tests (requires that Nginx is installed):
```
git clone https://github.com/Rob--W/pdfjs-telemetry.git
cd pdfjs-telemetry/
python testserver.py TestHttp TestHttps

Integration test (extension + server):
- Build the extension
- Edit build/chromium/telemetry.js and remove the check for
chrome.runtime.id.
- Start Chrome (preferably a new profile):
chromium --user-data-dir=/tmp/pdftest --no-first-run
- Open chrome://net-internals#events
- Visit chrome://extensions and enable Developer mode.
- Load unpacked extension, select build/chromium.
- Go to the chrome://net-internals tab and filter on pdfjs.robwu.nl.
- Click on URL_REQUEST and verify that the server replied with 204.
- Reload the extension.
- Verify that chrome://net-internals did not contain a new log request.
Use chrome.storage.sync to store preferences instead of
chrome.storage.local, to allow settings to be synchronized if the user
chooses to sign in in Chrome and enables synchronization of extension
preferences.
Commit df10513e10 unfortunately broke the options dialog of the Chromium extension because the logic required to work with the preference was not added. This patch adds the required logic to show the preference in the options dialog and to persist it to the preferences storage.
Verified using Chromium 50 on Arch Linux.
This was only ever useful for the Opera extension because the API
requires a whitelisted extension ID. Opera ditched PDF.js from their
extension gallery, so we don't need to keep this in the tree.
Multiple shadow roots are not supported any more in Chrome 51+
(https://crbug.com/603448#c6), so this patch changes the way that PDFs
are rendered in `<embed>` / `<object>` tags.
I used shadow roots because their content is not visible from the web
page, so the odds of conflicts were minimal. Now I have to render the
PDF frame directly in the page, which can be observed from the page
(unfortunately).
Now the following happens when an embedded PDF tag is detected:
- `<embed>` tags: The type and src attributes are updated.
- `<object>` tags: The type attribute is changed and the fallback
content is set and displayed.
The Chrome extension enforces that local files cannot be embedded in
non-local web pages. The previous check was too strict (because the
origin of a file:-URL is "null"), and prevented local PDF from being
viewed in local files).
This patch fixes that problem, by querying the actual tab URL via the
background page.
Steps to verify:
1. Create a HTML file: `<iframe src=test.pdf width=100% height=100%>`
2. Build and load the extension.
3. Allow file access to the extension at `chrome://extensions`
4. Open the HTML file from a file:// URL.
5. VERIFY: The extension should attempt to load the PDF file.
6. Now open the following (replace ID with the extension ID, which you
can find at `chrome://extensions`):
`data:text/html,<iframe src="chrome-extension://ID/file:///test.pdf">`
7. VERIFY: The next error should be displayed:
"Refused to load a local file in a non-local page for security reasons."
As explained in
https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/6174#issuecomment-118502802.
To verify that this patch works:
1. Build the Chrome extension (node make chromium)
2. Load the Chrome extension (at chrome://extensions)
3. Visit https://robwu.nl/pdfjs/issue6174/.
4. Verify that PDF.js is not used to load the PDF. Either Chrome's
default PDF Viewer is used, or the PDF is offered as a file download.
Remove pageAction logic from extension router, and put it in a
separate file. The pageAction URL parsing logic has been simplified,
and all pageAction-related files have been moved to a separate directory.
document.documentElement.style is null in some XML documents.
The previous snippet caused the following error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'animation' in null
To fix this bug, `'animation' in document.documentElement.style` has been
replaced with `CSS.supports('animation', '9s')`. This method was introduced
in Chromium 28, but it is not necessary to detect whether this method is
supported because the required createShadowRoot method for embeds is not
available in Chromium 32 and earlier.
If a user downgrades from Chromium 35+ to 34, then the PDF Viewer
extension will not work any more because the extension assumes
that certain features were available based on the cached feature
detection results.
To resolve this problem, all feature detection scripts run again
if the browser was downgraded.
http://crbug.com/280464 has been resolved, so we can now use redirectUrl at
onHeadersReceived.
For backwards-compatibility, the code for the original method has not been
removed, and a feature detection script was added that detects whether the
desired feature is available.
Use streamsPrivate API when available.
When the API is not available, the extension will still work on
on http/https/file URLs, but not for POST requests or FTP.
As of writing, the Chromium project has still not whitelisted
the PDF Viewer extension in the Chrome Web Store.
(extension ID oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm)
Request to whitelist PDF.js in Chromium:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=326949
Opera 19 has whitelisted the PDF Viewer extension from
https://addons.opera.com/extensions/details/pdf-viewer/
(extension ID encfpfilknmenlmjemepncnlbbjlabkc)
(https://github.com/Rob--W/pdf.js/issues/1#issuecomment-32357302)
If you want to test the streamsPrivate feature in Chrome,
edit the build/extensions/manifest.json and add the "key" again
(see this commit for the value of this "key" field).
When a new incognito session is started, the onExecuteMimeTypeHandler event is
often not dispatched in time. Instead, it's triggered in the non-incognito profile.
This commit offers a work-around that allows new incognito instances to view PDF files.
Also:
- Use webNavigation.getAllFrames to find out whether the navigation has
already started. This is (at least) needed for top-level navigation to
a stream. The webNavigation.onErrorOccurred event has become obsolete,
and has been removed.
This is needed for propagating the extension's permissions
to the extension's iframe, in the rare event that the PDF is
loaded in a sub frame, and the extension does not have access to the
top frame. For instance, when a http:-PDF file is embedded in a
local file, while "Allow access to local URLs" is disabled.
Note: Propagating permissions by inserting content scripts is an
undocumented feature (http://crbug.com/302548).
Whenever it breaks, the issue (cross-domain permissions for XHR)
can be solved by using a content script that gets the blob using
the XMLHttpRequest API, followed by `postMessage` (via transferables)
to efficiently pass the arraybuffer back to the PDF Viewer.
This method captures all application/pdf streams, loads the viewer
and passes the stream to the PDF.js viewer.
This commit shows a proof of concept using the chrome.streamsPrivate API.
Advantages of new method:
- Access to the response body of the original request, thus fewer
network requests.
- PDFs from non-GET requests (e.g. POST) are now supported.
- FTP files are also supported.
Possible improvements:
- Use declared content scripts instead of dynamic chrome.tabs.executeScript.
This allows the extension to render the viewer in frames when the
extension is disallowed to run executeScript for the top URL.
- Use chrome.declarativeWebRequest instead of webRequest, and replace
background page with event page (don't forget to profile the
difference & will the background/event page still work as intended?).
In Chromium extensions, the viewer's URL looks like this:
chrome-extension://oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/http://example.com/file.pdf
Furthermore, the PDF Viewer itself can also add something to the reference fragment:
chrome-extension://oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/http://example.com/file.pdf#page=2
Consequently, it is difficult to copy a clean URL (e.g. for sharing over mail)
without having to tidy-up the URL manually.
This commit solves this issue by adding a button to the omnibox,
which shows the clean PDF URL on click.
