Please note that these changes do *not* affect the *public* interface of the `Metadata` class, but only touches internal structures.[1]
These changes were prompted by looking at the `getAll` method, which simply returns the "private" metadata object to the consumer. This seems wrong conceptually, since it allows way too easy/accidental changes to the internal parsed metadata.
As part of fixing this, the internal metadata was changed to use a `Map` rather than a plain Object.
---
[1] Basically, we shouldn't need to worry about someone depending on internal implementation details.
- Remove the "capturing group" in the regular expression that removes leading "junk" from the raw metadata, since it's not necessary here (it's simply a case of too much copy-pasting in a prior patch).
According to [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions/Cheatsheet#Groups_and_ranges) you want to, for performance reasons, avoid "capturing groups" unless actually needed.
- Add inline comments to document a bunch of magic values in the code.
Given that all `TypedArray` polyfills were removed in PDF.js version `2.0`, since native support is now required, this branch has been dead code for awhile.
In practice it's extremely rare[1] for the padding to be zero in *all* components, hence it seems better to just set it directly rather than creating a temporary variable and checking for the "no padding"-case.

[1] In the `tracemonkey.pdf` file that only happens with `0.08%` of all text elements.
Over the years there's been a fair number of issues/PRs opened, where people have wanted to add `hasOwnProperty` checks in (hot) loops in the font parsing code. This has always been rejected, since we don't want to risk reducing performance in the Firefox PDF viewer simply because some users of the general PDF.js library are *incorrectly* extending the `Array.prototype` with enumerable properties.
With this patch the general PDF.js library will now fail immediately with a hopefully useful Error message, rather than having (some) fonts fail to render, when the `Array.prototype` is incorrectly extended.
Note that I did consider making this a warning, but ultimately decided against it since it's first of all possible to disable those (with the `verbosity` parameter). Secondly, even when printed, warnings can be easy to overlook and finally a warning may also *seem* OK to ignore (as opposed to an actual Error).
This patch makes the following changes, to improve these API methods:
- Let `PDFPageProxy.cleanup` return a boolean indicating if clean-up actually happened, since ongoing rendering will block clean-up.
Besides being used in other parts of this patch, it seems that an API user may also be interested in the return value given that clean-up isn't *guaranteed* to happen.
- Let `PDFDocumentProxy.cleanup` return the promise indicating when clean-up is finished.
- Improve the JSDoc comment for `PDFDocumentProxy.cleanup` to mention that clean-up is triggered on *both* threads (without going into unnecessary specifics regarding what *exactly* said data actually is).
Add a note in the JSDoc comment about not calling this method when rendering is ongoing.
- Change `WorkerTransport.startCleanup` to throw an `Error` if it's called when rendering is ongoing, to prevent rendering from breaking.
Please note that this won't stop *worker-thread* clean-up from happening (since there's no general "something is rendering"-flag), however I'm not sure if that's really a problem; but please don't quote me on that :-)
All of the caches that's being cleared in `Catalog.cleanup`, on the worker-thread, *should* be re-filled automatically even if cleared *during* parsing/rendering, and the only thing that probably happens is that e.g. font data would have to be re-parsed.
On the main-thread, on the other hand, clearing the caches is more-or-less guaranteed to cause rendering errors, since the rendering code in `src/display/canvas.js` isn't able to re-request any image/font data that's suddenly being pulled out from under it.
- Last, but not least, add a couple of basic unit-tests for the clean-up functionality.
While it would be nice to change the `PDFFormatVersion` property, as returned through `PDFDocumentProxy.getMetadata`, to a number (rather than a string) that would unfortunately be a breaking API change.
However, it does seem like a good idea to at least *validate* the PDF header version on the worker-thread, rather than potentially returning an arbitrary string.
This should hopefully be useful in environments where restrictive CSPs are in effect.
In most cases the replacement is entirely straighforward, and there's only a couple of special cases:
- For the `src/display/font_loader.js` and `web/pdf_outline_viewer.js `cases, since the elements aren't appended to the document yet, it shouldn't matter if the style properties are set one-by-one rather than all at once.
- For the `web/debugger.js` case, there's really no need to set the `padding` inline at all and the definition was simply moved to `web/viewer.css` instead.
*Please note:* There's still *a single* case left, in `web/toolbar.js` for setting the width of the zoom dropdown, which is left intact for now.
The reasons are that this particular case shouldn't matter for users of the general PDF.js library, and that it'd make a lot more sense to just try and re-factor that very old code anyway (thus fixing the `setAttribute` usage in the process).
Based on the PDF spec, with `v` operator, current point should be used as the first control point of the curve.
Do not overwrite current point before an SVG curve is built, so it can b actually used as first control point.
As can be seen in the code, the `xScaleBlockOffset` typed array doesn't depend on the actual image data but only on the width and x-scale. The width is obviously consistent for an image, and it turns out that in practice the `componentScaleX` is quite often identical between two (or more) adjacent image components.
All-in-all it's thus not necessary to *unconditionally* re-compute the `xScaleBlockOffset` when getting the JPEG image data.
While avoiding, in many cases, one or more loops can never be a bad thing these changes are unfortunately completely dominated by the rest of the JpegImage code and consequently doesn't really show up in benchmark results. *Hence I'd understand if this patch is ultimately deemed not necessary.*
*Note:* This is inspired by PR 5473, which made similar changes for another kind of JPEG data.
Since the implementation in `src/core/jpg.js` only supports 8-bit data, as opposed to similar code in `src/core/colorspace.js`, the computations can be further simplified since the `scale` is always constant.
By updating the coefficients, effectively inlining the `scale`, we'll thus avoid *four* multiplications for each loop iteration.
Unfortunately I wasn't able, based on a quick look through the test-files, to find a sufficiently *large* CMYK JPEG image in order for these changes to really show up in benchmark results. However, when testing the `cmykjpeg.pdf` manually there's a total of `120 000` fewer multiplication with this patch.
In the current `AnnotationLayer` implementation, Popup annotations require that the parent annotation have already been rendered (otherwise they're simply ignored).
Usually the annotations are ordered, in the `/Annots` array, in such a way that this isn't a problem, however there's obviously no guarantee that all PDF generators actually do so. Hence we simply ensure, when rendering the `AnnotationLayer`, that the Popup annotations are handled last.
Interestingly the viewer already seem to work correctly as-is, with workers disabled and a non-standard `verbosity` level.
Hence this is possibly Node.js specific, but given that the issue is lacking *both* the PDF file in question and a runnable test-case, so this patch is essentially a best-effort guess at what the problem could be.
- Re-factor the "incorrect encoding" check, since this can be easily achieved using the general `findNextFileMarker` helper function (with a suitable `startPos` argument).
- Tweak a condition, to make it easier to see that the end of the data has been reached.
- Add a reference test for issue 1877, since it's what prompted the "incorrect encoding" check.
The other image decoders, i.e. the JBIG2 and JPEG 2000 ones, are using the common helper function `readUint16`. Most likely, the only reason that the JPEG decoder is doing it this way is because it originated *outside* of the PDF.js library.
Hence we can simply re-factor `src/core/jpg.js` to use the common `readUint16` helper function, which is especially nice given that the functionality was essentially *duplicated* in the code.
This covers cases that the `--fix` command couldn't deal with, and in a few cases (notably `src/core/jbig2.js`) the code was changed to use block-scoped variables instead.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/prefer-const
With the recent introduction of Prettier this sort of mass enabling of ESLint rules becomes a lot easier, since the code will be automatically reformatted as necessary to account for e.g. changed line lengths.
Note that this patch is generated automatically, by using the ESLint `--fix` argument, and will thus require some additional clean-up (which is done separately).
These two cases should have been whitelisted prior to re-formatting respectively had the comments fixed afterwards, however I unfortunately missed them because of the massive size of the diff.
Fixes#11403
The PDF uses the non-embedded Type1 font Helvetica. Character codes 194 and 160 (`Â` and `NBSP`) are encoded as `.notdef`. We shouldn't show those glyphs because it seems that Acrobat Reader doesn't draw glyphs that are named `.notdef` in fonts like this.
In addition to testing `glyphName === ".notdef"`, we must test also `glyphName === ""` because the name `""` is used in `core/encodings.js` for undefined glyphs in encodings like `WinAnsiEncoding`.
The solution above hides the `Â` characters but now the replacement character (space) appears to be too wide. I found out that PDF.js ignores font's `Widths` array if the font has no `FontDescriptor` entry. That happens in #11403, so the default widths of Helvetica were used as specified in `core/metrics.js` and `.nodef` got a width of 333. The correct width is 0 as specified by the `Widths` array in the PDF. Thus we must never ignore `Widths`.
This removes a couple of, thanks to preceeding code, unnecessary `typeof PDFJSDev` checks, and also fixes a couple of incorrectly implemented (my fault) checks intended for `TESTING` builds.
After PR 9566, which removed all of the old Firefox extension code, the `FIREFOX` build flag is no longer used for anything.
It thus seems to me that it should be removed, for a couple of reasons:
- It's simply dead code now, which only serves to add confusion when looking at the `PDFJSDev` calls.
- It used to be that `MOZCENTRAL` and `FIREFOX` was *almost* always used together. However, ever since PR 9566 there's obviously been no effort put into keeping the `FIREFOX` build flags up to date.
- In the event that a new, Webextension based, Firefox addon is created in the future you'd still need to audit all `MOZCENTRAL` (and possibly `CHROME`) build flags to see what'd make sense for the addon.
This particular JSDoc comment is fairly old and it also contains some now unrelated/confusing information.
The only way to *guarantee* that the PDF.js library works as expected is to correctly set the global `workerSrc`[1], hence giving the impression that the option isn't strictly necessary is thus incorrect.
---
[1] Since advertising the fallbackWorkerSrc functionality definitely seems like the *wrong* thing to do.
This way we'll benefit from the existing font caching, and can thus avoid re-creating a fallback font over and over again during parsing.
(Thece changes necessitated the previous patch, since otherwise breakage could occur e.g. with fake workers.)
This is beneficial in situations where the Worker is being re-used, for example with fake workers, since it ensures that things like font resources are actually released.
This rule is already enabled in mozilla-central, and helps avoid some confusing formatting, see https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/9e45d74b956be046e5021a746b0c8912f1c27318/tools/lint/eslint/eslint-plugin-mozilla/lib/configs/recommended.js#209-210
With the recent introduction of Prettier some of the existing nested ternary statements became even more difficult to read, since any possibly helpful indentation was removed.
This particular ESLint rule wasn't entirely straightforward to enable, and I do recognize that there's a certain amount of subjectivity in the changes being made. Generally, the changes in this patch fall into three categories:
- Cases where a value is only clamped to a certain range (the easiest ones to update).
- Cases where the values involved are "simple", such as Numbers and Strings, which are re-factored to initialize the variable with the *default* value and only update it when necessary by using `if`/`else if` statements.
- Cases with more complex and/or larger values, such as TypedArrays, which are re-factored to let the variable be (implicitly) undefined and where all values are then set through `if`/`else if`/`else` statements.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-nested-ternary
In order to eventually get rid of SystemJS and start using native `import`s instead, we'll need to provide "complete" file identifiers since otherwise there'll be MIME type errors when attempting to use `import`.
For reasons that I now cannot even begin to understand, the non-standard SegoeUISymbol font was placed in the `getStdFontMap`. That honestly makes no sense, hence this patch which does what I *should* have done from the start.
This patch makes the follow changes:
- Remove no longer necessary inline `// eslint-disable-...` comments.
- Fix `// eslint-disable-...` comments that Prettier moved down, thus causing new linting errors.
- Concatenate strings which now fit on just one line.
- Fix comments that are now too long.
- Finally, and most importantly, adjust comments that Prettier moved down, since the new positions often is confusing or outright wrong.
Note that Prettier, purposely, has only limited [configuration options](https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html). The configuration file is based on [the one in `mozilla central`](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/.prettierrc) with just a few additions (to avoid future breakage if the defaults ever changes).
Prettier is being used for a couple of reasons:
- To be consistent with `mozilla-central`, where Prettier is already in use across the tree.
- To ensure a *consistent* coding style everywhere, which is automatically enforced during linting (since Prettier is used as an ESLint plugin). This thus ends "all" formatting disussions once and for all, removing the need for review comments on most stylistic matters.
Many ESLint options are now redundant, and I've tried my best to remove all the now unnecessary options (but I may have missed some).
Note also that since Prettier considers the `printWidth` option as a guide, rather than a hard rule, this patch resorts to a small hack in the ESLint config to ensure that *comments* won't become too long.
*Please note:* This patch is generated automatically, by appending the `--fix` argument to the ESLint call used in the `gulp lint` task. It will thus require some additional clean-up, which will be done in a *separate* commit.
(On a more personal note, I'll readily admit that some of the changes Prettier makes are *extremely* ugly. However, in the name of consistency we'll probably have to live with that.)
There's a fair number of (primarily) `Array`s/`TypedArray`s whose formatting we don't want disturb, since in many cases that would lead to the code becoming much more difficult to read and/or break existing inline comments.
*Please note:* It may be a good idea to look through these cases individually, and possibly re-write some of the them (especially the `String` ones) to reduce the need for all of these ignore commands.
Since bundlers, such as Webpack, cannot be told to leave `require` statements alone we are thus forced to jump through hoops in order to prevent these warnings in third-party deployments of the PDF.js library; please see [Webpack issue 8826](https://github.com/webpack/webpack) and libraries such as [require-fool-webpack](https://github.com/sindresorhus/require-fool-webpack).
*Please note:* This is based on the assumption that code running in Node.js won't ever be affected by e.g. Content Security Policies that prevent use of `eval`. If that ever occurs, we should revert to a normal `require` statement and simply document the Webpack warnings instead.
This patch reduces some duplication, by moving *all* fake worker loader code into the `setupFakeWorkerGlobal` function. Furthermore, the functions are simplified further by using `async`/`await` where appropriate.
There's no particularily good reason, as far as I can tell, to not support a custom worker path in Node.js environments (even if workers aren't supported). This patch thus make the Node.js fake worker loader code-path consistent with the fallback code-path used with *browser* fake worker loader.
Finally, this patch also deprecates[1] the `fallbackWorkerSrc` functionality, except in Node.js, since the user should *always* provide correct worker options since the fallback is nothing more than a best-effort solution.
---
[1] Although it probably shouldn't be removed until the next major version.
For performance reasons, and to avoid hanging the browser UI, the PDF.js library should *always* be used with web workers enabled.
At this point in time all of the supported browsers should have proper worker support, and Node.js is thus the only environment where workers aren't supported. Hence it no longer seems relevant/necessary to provide, by default, fake worker loaders for various JS builders/bundlers/frameworks in the PDF.js code itself.[1]
In order to simplify things, the fake worker loader code is thus simplified to now *only* support Node.js usage respectively "normal" browser usage out-of-the-box.[2]
*Please note:* The officially intended way of using the PDF.js library is with workers enabled, which can be done by setting `GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc`, `GlobalWorkerOptions.workerPort`, or manually providing a `PDFWorker` instance when calling `getDocument`.
---
[1] Note that it's still possible to *manually* disable workers, simply my manually loading the built `pdf.worker.js` file into the (current) global scope, however this's mostly intended for testing/debugging purposes.
[2] Unfortunately some bundlers such as Webpack, when used with third-party deployments of the PDF.js library, will start to print `Critical dependency: ...` warnings when run against the built `pdf.js` file from this patch. The reason is that despite the `require` calls being protected by *runtime* `isNodeJS` checks, it's not possible to simply tell Webpack to just ignore the `require`; please see [Webpack issue 8826](https://github.com/webpack/webpack) and libraries such as [require-fool-webpack](https://github.com/sindresorhus/require-fool-webpack).
During initial parsing of every PDF document we're currently creating a few `1 kB` strings, in order to find certain commands needed for initialization.
This seems inefficient, not to mention completely unnecessary, since we can just as well search through the raw bytes directly instead (similar to other parts of the code-base). One small complication here is the need to support backwards search, which does add some amount of "duplication" to this function.
The main benefits here are:
- No longer necessary to allocate *temporary* `1 kB` strings during initial parsing, thus saving some memory.
- In practice, for well-formed PDF documents, the number of iterations required to find the commands are usually very low. (For the `tracemonkey.pdf` file, there's a *total* of only 30 loop iterations.)
Note that most (reasonably) modern browsers have supported this for a while now, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream#Browser_compatibility
By moving the polyfill into `src/shared/compatibility.js` we can thus get rid of the need to manually export/import `ReadableStream` and simply use it directly instead.
The only change here which *could* possibly lead to a difference in behavior is in the `isFetchSupported` function. Previously we attempted to check for the existence of a global `ReadableStream` implementation, which could now pass (assuming obviously that the preceding checks also succeeded).
However I'm not sure if that's a problem, since the previous check only confirmed the existence of a native `ReadableStream` implementation and not that it actually worked correctly. Finally it *could* just as well have been a globally registered polyfill from an application embedding the PDF.js library.
Given that the error in question is surfaced on the API-side, this patch makes the following changes:
- Updates the wording such that it'll hopefully be slightly easier for users to understand.
- Changes the plain `Error` to an `InvalidPDFException` instead, since that should work better with the existing Error handling.
- Adds a unit-test which loads an empty PDF document (and also improves a pre-existing `InvalidPDFException` message and its test-case).
Given how this method is currently used there shouldn't be any fonts loaded at the point in time where it's called, but it does seem like a bad idea to assume that that's always going to be the case. Since `PDFDocument.checkFirstPage` is already asynchronous, it's easy enough to simply await `Catalog.cleanup` here.
(The patch also makes a tiny simplification in a loop in `Catalog.cleanup`.)
In the PDF document in question, there's an ASCII85Decode inline image where the '>' part of EOD (end-of-data) marker is missing; hence the PDF document is corrupt.
Note that the XRef cache will only hold objects returned through `Parser.getObj`, and indirectly via `Lexer.getObj`. Since neither of those methods will ever return `undefined`, we can simply `assert` that when inserting objects into the cache and thus get rid of one function call when doing cache lookups.
Obviously this won't have a huge effect on performance, however `XRef.fetch` is usually called *a lot* in larger documents and this patch thus cannot hurt.
I'm slightly surprised that this hasn't actually caused any (known) bugs, but that may be more luck than anything else since it fortunately doesn't seem common for Streams to be defined inside of an 'ObjStm'.[1]
Note that in the `XRef.fetchUncompressed` method we're *not* caching Streams, and that for very good reasons too.
- Streams, especially the `DecodeStream` ones, can become *very* large once read. Hence caching them really isn't a good idea simply because of the (potential) memory impact of doing so.
- Attempting to read from the *same* Stream more than once won't work, unless it's `reset` in between, since using any method such as e.g. `getBytes` always starts at the current data position.
- Given that even the `src/core/` code is now fairly asynchronous, see e.g. the `PartialEvaluator`, it's generally impossible to assert that any one Stream isn't being accessed "concurrently" by e.g. different `getOperatorList` calls. Hence `reset`-ing a cached Streams isn't going to work in the general case.
All in all, I cannot understand why it'd ever be correct to cache Streams in the `XRef.fetchCompressed` method.
---
[1] One example where that happens is the `issue3115r.pdf` file in the test-suite, where the streams in question are not actually used for anything within the PDF.js code.
- Change all occurences of `var` to `let`/`const`.
- Initialize the (temporary) Arrays with the correct sizes upfront.
- Inline the `isCmd` check. Obviously this won't make a huge difference, but given that the check is only relevant for corrupt documents it cannot hurt.
Having ran the entire test-suite locally with these `Number.isInteger` checks removed, there wasn't a single test failure anywhere; see also PR 8857.
Hence everything points to this being completely unnecessary now, and by removing this code there's thus fewer function calls being made in `XRef.fetchUncompressed`.
The contents of this comment hasn't been correct for *years*, ever since the library was properly split into main/worker-threads, so it's probably high time for this to be updated.
For documents with a Linearization dictionary the computed `startXRef` position will be relative to the raw file, rather than the actual PDF document itself (which begins with `%PDF-`).
Hence it's necessary to subtract `stream.start` in this case, since otherwise the `XRef.readXRef` method will increment the position too far resulting in parsing errors.
*Please note:* A a similar change was attempted in PR 5005, but it was subsequently backed out (in PR 5069) since other parts of the patch caused issues.
With these changes, it's possible to replace repeated function calls within a loop with just a single function call and subsequent assignment instead.
I've always disliked the solution in PR 10461, since it required changes to the `PDFHistory` code itself to deal with a bug in IE11.
Now that IE11 support is limited, it seems reasonable to remove these `pushState`/`replaceState` hacks from the main code-base and simply use polyfills instead.
For Popup annotation trigger elements consisting of an arbitrary polyline, you need to ensure that the 'stroke-width' is always non-zero since otherwise it's impossible to actually open/close the popup.
Unfortunately I don't believe that any of the test-suites can be used to test this, hence why no tests are included in the patch.
As we've seen in numerous other cases, avoiding unnecessary function calls is never a bad thing (even if the effect is probably tiny here).
With these changes we also avoid potentially two back-to-back `isDict` checks when evaluating possible Page nodes, and can also no longer accidentally pick a dictionary with an incorrect /Type.
For certain canvas-related errors (and probably others), the browser rendering exceptions may be propagated "as-is" to the PDF.js code. In this case, the exceptions are of the somewhat cryptic `NS_ERROR_FAILURE` type.
Unfortunately these aren't actual `Error`s, which thus ends up unintentionally triggering the `assert` in `PDFPageProxy._abortOperatorList`; sorry about that!
The bug report seem to suggest that we don't support UTF-16 strings with a BOM (byte order mark), which we *actually* do as evident by both the code and a unit-test.
The issue at play here is rather that we previously only supported big-endian UTF-16 BOM, and the `Title` string in the PDF document is using a *little-endian* UTF-16 BOM instead.
Fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1593902
Rather than having to store a `PromiseCapability` on the `ObjectLoader` instances, we can simply convert `_walk` to be `async` and thus have the same functionality with native JavaScript instead.
I happened to look at this code and the way that the link target is set seems unecessarily convoluted, since we're using `Object.values` and `Array.prototype.includes` for *every* link being parsed.
Given that the number of link targets are so few, the easist solution honestly seem to be to just use a `switch` statement to do the link target mapping.
When the end of data has already been reached for the various Streams, the `getByte` methods will return `-1` to signal that to the caller. Note however that the current position obviously won't be incremented in this case, meaning that the `peekByte` methods will in this case *incorrectly* decrement the position.
Thankfully the corresponding `peekBytes` shouldn't be affected by this bug, since they decrement the current position with the *actually* returned number of bytes.
I'm not aware of any bugs caused by this blatant oversight, but that doesn't mean this shouldn't be fixed :-)
This will allow us to attempt to recover as much as possible of a page, rather than immediately failing, when a broken/unsupported ColorSpace is encountered. This patch thus extends the framework added in PRs such as e.g. 8240 and 8922, to also cover parsing of ColorSpaces.
The code in question is *only* relevant in non-`PRODUCTION` mode, i.e. the *development* version of the viewer run with `gulp server`, and has been completely unused at least since SystemJS was added.
I really cannot see any reason to keep this, since it's code which first of all isn't shipping and secondly isn't even being used in the development viewer.
When `ReadableStream` support was added to the `MessageHandler`, the `_onComObjOnMessage` function became more complex than previously.
All of the nested `if`/`else if`/`else` branches are now, at least in my opinion, making some of this code a bit difficult to follow. Hence this patch, which attempts to help readability by making use of early `return`s and `Error`s.
The patch also changes a couple of `var`/`let` occurences to `const`.
Note that using `in` leads to unnecessary stringification of the properties, which seems completely unnecessary here. To avoid future problems from these changes the `MessageHandler.on` method will now assert, in non-`PRODUCTION`/`TESTING` builds, that it's always called with a function as expected.
This patch also renames `callbacksCapabilities` to `callbackCapabilities`, note the removed "s", since using a double plural format looks a bit strange.
Given that the `isReply` property is an internal implementation detail, changing its type shouldn't be a problem. Note that by directly indicating if either data or an Error is sent, it's no longer necessary to use `in` when handling the callback.
Currently, for data in `ChunkedStream` instances, the `getMissingChunks` method is used in a couple of places to determine if data is already available or if it needs to be loaded.
When looking at how `ChunkedStream.getMissingChunks` is being used in the `ObjectLoader` you'll notice that we don't actually care about which *specific* chunks are missing, but rather only want essentially a yes/no answer to the "Is the data available?" question.
Furthermore, when looking at how `ChunkedStream.getMissingChunks` itself is implemented you'll notice that it (somewhat expectedly) always iterates over *all* chunks.
All in all, using `ChunkedStream.getMissingChunks` in the `ObjectLoader` seems like an unnecessary "heavy" and roundabout way to obtain a boolean value. However, it turns out there already exists a `ChunkedStream.allChunksLoaded` method, consisting of a *single* simple check, which seems like a perfect fit for the `ObjectLoader` use cases.
In particular, once the *entire* PDF document has been loaded (which is usually fairly quick with streaming enabled), you'd really want the `ObjectLoader` to be as simple/quick as possible (similar to e.g. loading a local files) which this patch should help with.
Note that I wouldn't expect this patch to have a huge effect on performance, but it will nonetheless save some CPU/memory resources when the `ObjectLoader` is used. (As usual this should help larger PDF documents, w.r.t. both file size and number of pages, the most.)
I completely overlooked this in PR 11281, but you obviously need to make similar changes in `PartialEvaluator.hasBlendModes` since it will otherwise ignore valid Blend Modes.
This argument is a left-over from older API code, where we unconditionally initialized `StatTimer` instances for every page. For quite some time that's only been done when `pdfBug` is set, hence it seems unnecessary to keep this functionality.
Even though the currect situation only results in six unnecessary function calls per page, it nonetheless seems completely unnecessary to call dummy functions when `pdfBug` is *not* set (i.e. the default behaviour).
As can be seen in the API, there's a number of document loading Exception handlers which are both really simple and highly similar. Hence these are changed such that all the relevant Exceptions are sent via *one* message instead.
Furthermore, the patch also avoids unnecessarily re-creating `UnknownErrorException`s at the worker side and removes an unnecessary `bind` call.
Obviously this won't look exactly right, but considering that the PDF file doesn't bother embedding non-standard fonts this is the best that we can do here.
This patch is making me somewhat worried about future regressions, since it's certainly easy to imagine this completely breaking certain kinds of corrupt/edited PDF documents while fixing others.[1]
Obviously it passes all existing reference tests (and even improves one), however compared to many other patches there's no telling how much it could break.
The only reason that I'm even submitting this patch, is because of the number of open issues that it would address.
Generally speaking though, the best course of action would probably be if `XRef.indexObjects` was re-written to be much more robust (since it currently feels somewhat hand-wavy in parts). E.g. by actually checking/validating more of the objects before committing to them.

[1] Especially given that it's reverting part of PR 5910, however in the case of issue 5909 it seems that other (more recent) changes have actually made that PR redundant.
Sometimes we also used `@return`, but `@returns` is what the JSDoc
documentation recommends. Even though `@return` works as an alias, it's
good to use the recommended syntax and to be consistent within the
project.
Sometimes we also used `@return` or `@returns`, but `@type` is what
the JSDoc documentation recommends. This also improves the documentation
because before this commit the types were not shown and now they are.
Rather than specifying certain build targets manually, it seems much more appropriate (and future-proof) to use the `SKIP_BABEL` build target instead.
Also, the patch adds a missing `/* eslint no-var: error */` line since I'm touch the file anyway and no code-changes were necessary for it.
For badly generated PDF documents, with issue 6961 being one example, there's well over one hundred thousand function calls being made in total for just the *two* pages.
This handles the two different ways that fonts can be loaded, either by Name (which is the common case) or by Reference.
Furthermore, this also takes the `ignoreErrors` option into account when deciding whether to fallback or Error.
Finally, by creating a minimal but valid Font dictionary, there's no special-cases necessary in any of the font parsing code.

All of these methods have been marked as `deprecated` in *three* releases now, and I'd thus like to (slowly) move towards complete removal.
However rather than just removing the methods right away, which would cause somewhat cryptic failures, this patch tries to implement a hopefully reasonable middle ground by throwing `Error`s with (essentially) the same information as the previous warnings.
While the previous `deprecated` messages could perhaps be seen as optional, with these changes API consumers will now be forced to actually migrate their code.
*Please note:* I've been thinking about possible ways of addressing this issue for a while now, but all of the solutions I came up with became too complicated and thus hurt readability of the code.
However, it occured to me that we're essentially trying to add a heuristic *on top* of another heuristic, and that it shouldn't matter how efficient the code is as long as it works.
In the PDF file in the issue the Encoding contains glyphNames of the `Cdd` format, which our existing heuristics will treat as base 10 values. However, in this particular file they actually contain base 16 values, which we thus attempt to detect and fix such that text-selection works.
By utilizing a base "class", things become significantly simpler. Unfortunately the new `BaseException` cannot be a proper ES6 class and just extend `Error`, since the SystemJS dependency doesn't seem to play well with that.
Note also that we (generally) need to keep the `name` property on the actual `...Exception` object, rather than on its prototype, since the property will otherwise be dropped during the structured cloning used with `postMessage`.
By default, i.e. with workers enabled, it's *purposely* not possible to send `Dict`s and `Stream`s from the worker-thread. This is achieved by defining a `function` on every `Dict` instance, since that ensures that [the structured clone algoritm](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API/Structured_clone_algorithm) will throw an Error on `postMessage`.
However, with workers *disabled* we fall-back to the `LoopbackPort` implementation which just ignores any `function`s, thus incorrectly allowing sending of data which *should* be unclonable.
The following changes were made:
- Remove unnecessary `typeof` checks in the `get`/`getAsync` methods.
- Reduce unnecessary code duplication in the `get`/`getAsync` methods.
- Inline the `Ref` checks in the `get`/`getAsync`/`getArray` methods, since it helps avoid many unnecessary functions calls. I.e. this way it's possible to directly call `XRef.{fetch, fetchAsync)` only when necessary, rather than always having to call `XRef.{fetchIfRef, fetchIfRefAsync)`.
This patch was tested using the PDF file from issue 2618, i.e. http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=226471, using the following manifest file:
```
[
{ "id": "issue2618",
"file": "../web/pdfs/issue2618.pdf",
"md5": "",
"rounds": 250,
"type": "eq"
}
]
```
This gave the following results when comparing this patch against the `master` branch:
