On my computer, it takes few tenths of a second to load a local font.
Since a font can be used several times in a document, the cache will
improve performances.
- Replace FoxitSans with LiberationSans: LiberationSans is already there (for XFA) and we can use
it as a good replacement of FoxitSans.
- For now we just try to substitue standard fonts, the strategy is the following:
* we try to find a font locally from a hardcoded list;
* if it fails then we use Liberation as fallback (only for Helvetica for the moment);
* else we just fallback on the system serif/sansserif/monospace font.
Now that we no longer depend on the old Babel version in SystemJS we can remove the `static get ...` work-arounds used to define constants, which leads to slightly more compact code.
Now that https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687 has landed in Firefox, we're able to use worker-modules during development :-)
This removes the final piece of SystemJS usage from the PDF.js library, thus allowing a fair bit of clean-up, and we now use *only* native `import`/`export` statements everywhere in development mode.
Some arabic chars like \ufe94 could be searched in a pdf, hence it must be normalized
when creating the search query. So to avoid to duplicate the normalization code,
everything is moved in the find controller.
The previous code to normalize text was using NFKC but with a hardcoded map, hence it
has been replaced by the use of normalize("NFKC") (it helps to reduce the bundle size
by 30kb).
In playing with this \ufe94 char, I noticed that the bidi algorithm wasn't taking into
account some RTL unicode ranges, the generated font wasn't embedding the mapping this
char and the unicode ranges in the OS/2 table weren't up-to-date.
When normalized some chars can be replaced by several ones and it induced to have
some extra chars in the text layer. To avoid any regression, when copying some text
from the text layer, a copied string is normalized (NFKC) before being put in the
clipboard (it works like this in either Acrobat or Chrome).
This *special* build-target is very old, and was introduced with the first pre-processor that only uses comments to enable/disable code.
When the new pre-processor was added `PRODUCTION` effectively became redundant, at least in JavaScript code, since `typeof PDFJSDev === "undefined"` checks now do the same thing.
This patch proposes that we remove `PRODUCTION` from the JavaScript code, since that simplifies the conditions and thus improves readability in many cases.
*Please note:* There's not, nor has there ever been, any gulp-task that set `PRODUCTION = false` during building.
Apparently the `structuredClone` polyfill doesn't handle transfers correctly, and `DOMException`s may thus be thrown. This is particularly problematical in Node.js environments, where that exception (obviously) isn't available.
To work-around these issues we'll simply ignore any transfers in `legacy`-builds, since those *may* use the `structuredClone` polyfill. This will obviously lead to slightly higher memory usage in those builds, however this really only affects Node.js environments. (Browsers are only affected if workers are disabled, however that's never been an officially recommended/supported configuration.)
*Please note:* This parameter has never been used within the PDF.js library/viewer itself, and it was only ever added for backwards compatibility reasons.
This parameter was added in PR 7475, over six years ago, to try and optionally maintain the previous *default* text-extraction behaviour.
However as part of the general text-extraction improvements in PR 13257, almost two years ago, the `disableCombineTextItems` functionality was accidentally "broken" in various ways. Note how the only (very basic) unit-test was updated in a way that doesn't really make sense, since generally speaking you'd expect that using the option should result in *more* (or at least the same number of) text-items. Furthermore there's also the recent issue 16209, where the option causes almost all textContent to be concatenated together.
Hence this patch proposes that we simply remove the `disableCombineTextItems` option since it's essentially unused/untested functionality, as evident from the fact that it took almost two years for someone to notice that it's broken.
Given that this functionality only applies in the viewer, when `PDFBug` is being enabled and used, it can't hurt to slightly reduce the size of this code.
This is something that I completely overlooked in PR 16162, which in some cases cause the default viewer to incorrectly print warnings.
This can be reproduced with the PAGE scrolling-mode, and/or the PresentationMode, and this patch simply work-around it by checking the visibility as well (since the warning is a best-effort solution anyway).
The `pageColors`-option was removed from the `CanvasGraphics`-constructor in PR 16075, hence the code in the API no longer needs to pass in that option; this is something that I missed during review.
The idea is to apply an overall filter on each page: the main advantage
is to have some filtered images which could help to make them visible for
some users.
During review of PR 16151 this method was simplified, however I overlooked the fact that we now can (and really should) improve this by removing duplication.
Unfortunately I don't believe that we can simply add a default `--scale-factor` CSS-variable to the `container`-element, since that might not be entirely appropriate/correct in all cases.[1]
However, we can at least print a console-error to hopefully make this situation more apparent to users. (This is purposely not using the `warn` helper-function, since those messages can be disabled.)
---
[1] One example is in our reference-tests, where we don't need to add it to the `container`-element itself.
With the previous commit this is now completely unused in API, hence it can be removed. This is done in a separate commit to make it easier to re-instate it, would the need ever arise.
This patch extends PR 16115 to work in all browsers, regardless of their `OffscreenCanvas` support, such that transfer functions will be applied to general rendering (and not just image data).
In order to do this we introduce the `BaseFilterFactory` that is then extended in browsers/Node.js environments, similar to all the other factories used in the API, such that we always have the necessary factory available in `src/display/canvas.js`.
These changes help simplify the existing `putBinaryImageData` function, and the new method can easily be stubbed-out in the Firefox PDF Viewer.
*Please note:* This patch removes the old *partial* transfer function support, which only applied to image data, from Node.js environments since the `node-canvas` package currently doesn't support filters. However, this should hopefully be fine given that:
- Transfer functions are not very commonly used in PDF documents.
- Browsers in general, and Firefox in particular, are the *primary* development target for the PDF.js library.
- The FAQ only lists Node.js as *mostly* supported, see https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#faq-support
In the general PDF.js library multiple PDF documents may be opened on the same web-page, which is why we many years ago started using document-specific identifiers to prevent issues with global data such e.g. with fonts.
Hence we need to treat the identifiers generated by the `FilterFactory` in the same way, since the SVG-filters for two separate PDF documents may otherwise get identical ids.
The current value originated in PR 2317, and in the decade that have passed the amount of RAM available in (most) devices should have increased a fair bit.
Nowadays we also do a much better job of detecting repeated images at both the page- and document-level, which helps reduce overall memory-usage in many documents.
Finally the constant is also moved into the `src/shared/util.js` file, since it was implicitly used on both the main- and worker-thread previously.
Currently in PDF documents with large images we immediately cleanup once rendering has finished, in order to reduce memory-usage.
Normally that shouldn't be a big problem, however when e.g. repeated zooming happens in the viewer that could easily lead to a lot of wasted resources (and waiting).
Hence this patch, which introduces a new `PDFPageProxy` method that will slightly delay cleanup after rendering.
