Despite this patch removing the `disableWorker` option itself, please note that we'll still fallback to loading the worker file(s) on the main-thread when running in environments without proper Web Worker support.
Furthermore it's still possible, even with this patch, to force the use of fake workers by manually loading the necessary file using a `<script>` tag on the main-thread.[1]
That way, the functionality of the now removed `SINGLE_FILE` build target and the resulting `build/pdf.combined.js` file can still be achieved simply by adding e.g. `<script src="build/pdf.worker.js"></script>` to the HTML (obviously with the path adjusted as needed).
Finally note that the `disableWorker` option is a performance footgun, and unfortunately many existing third-party examples actually use it without providing any sort of warning/justification.

[1] This approach is used in the default viewer, since certain kind of debugging may be easier if the code is running directly on the main-thread.
https://crbug.com/362061 was fixed in Chrome 36, and the lowest
supported Chrome version in the extension is Chrome 49, so the
work-around for a filesystem:-bug in chromecom can be removed.
This was introduced in #3582 to work around https://crbug.com/274024 .
The bug in Chrome has been fixed a long time ago (at least 33), so let's
simplify the code.
This patch updates the `IPDFStreamReader` interface and ensures that the interface/implementation of `network.js`, `fetch_stream.js`, `node_stream.js`, and `transport_stream.js` all match properly.
The unit-tests are also adjusted, to more closely replicate the actual behaviour of the various actual `IPDFStreamReader` implementations.
Finally, this patch adjusts the use of the Content-Disposition filename when setting the title in the viewer, and adds `PDFDocumentProperties` support as well.
When navigating away from the viewer, there's no good reason for disallowing replacement of a *temporary* history entry (in addition to empty ones).
Given that the current position is temporarily added to the browser history using a (short) timeout, the history entry will most likely already be correct when the 'pagehide' event fires. However, if the user is quick enough that might not always be the case, in which case the adjusted logic may help.
Since multiple empty lines is virtually unused in the code-base, and the few cases that do exist look like "typos", let's enforce greater consistency here; please see https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-multiple-empty-lines.
It is only used in a few places to handle prefixing style properties if
necessary. However, we used it only for `transform`, `transformOrigin`
and `borderRadius`, which according to Can I Use are supported natively
(unprefixed) in the browsers that PDF.js 2.0 supports. Therefore, we can
remove this class, which should help performance too since this avoids
extra function calls in parts of the code that are called often.
Unless the debugging tools (i.e. `PDFBug`) are enabled, or the `browsertest` is running, the `PDFPageProxy.stats` aren't actually used for anything.
Rather than initializing unnecessary `StatTimer` instances, we can simply re-use *one* dummy class (with static methods) for every page. Note that by using a dummy `StatTimer` in this way, rather than letting `PDFPageProxy.stats` be undefined, we don't need to guard *every* single stats collection callsite.
Since it wouldn't make much sense to attempt to use `PDFPageProxy.stats` when stat collection is disabled, it was instead changed to a "private" property (i.e. `PDFPageProxy._stats`) and a getter was added for accessing `PDFPageProxy.stats`. This getter will now return `null` when stat collection is disabled, making that case easy to handle.
For benchmarking purposes, the test-suite used to re-create the `StatTimer` after loading/rendering each page. However, modifying properties on various API code from the outside in this way seems very error-prone, and is an anti-pattern that we really should avoid at all cost. Hence the `PDFPageProxy.cleanup` method was modified to accept an optional parameter, which will take care of resetting `this.stats` when necessary, and `test/driver.js` was updated accordingly.
Finally, a tiny bit more validation was added on the viewer side, to ensure that all the code we're attempting to access is defined when handling `PDFPageProxy` stats.
For sufficiently large page sizes, always limiting the minimum zoom level to 25% seem a bit too high. One example is pages, e.g. the first one, in:
Hence I think that it makes sense to lower `MIN_SCALE` slightly, since other PDF viewers (e.g. Adobe Reader) isn't limiting the minimum zoom level as aggressively. Obviously this will allow a greater number of pages to be visible at the same time in the viewer, but given that they will be small that shouldn't be an issue.
Note also that e.g. the `page-fit`/`page-width` zoom levels already allow `< MIN_SCALE` values, so I don't see why we shouldn't allow users the same functionality directly.
This was added, during the refactoring in PR 8556, to avoid outright breaking third-party users of the default viewer.
With PDF.js version `2.0`, where we're making API changes that aren't backwards compatible, we ought to be able to remove this piece of viewer code as well.
We've never attempted to limit the errors displayed in the default viewer to the current PDF file, but that's not really been a problem before. However after PR 7926, it's now possible to get password related error messages for *previously* opened PDF files in the default viewer.
**STR:**
1. Open a password protected PDF file, e.g. `issue6010_1.pdf` from the test-suite.
2. Cancel the password prompt.
3. Open any new PDF file in the viewer.
**AR:**
The error UI is displayed, with a `No password given` message.
**ER:**
No error displayed, since it's only relevent for a now closed PDF file.
This is obviously a minor issue, caused by us now rejecting the still pending `pdfLoadingTask` during the `PDFViewerApplication.close` call, but I don't think that it (generally) makes sense to show errors if they're not relevant to the *currently* displayed PDF file.
In order to move viewer related options from the global `PDFJS` object and into the initialization of the relevant components, we'll need to parse the hash parameters *before* calling `PDFViewerApplication._initializeViewerComponents`.
The only reason for adding this parameter in the first place, all the way back in PR 4074, was that the "maintain document position on zooming" feature was landed and backed out a couple of times before it finally stuck.
Hence it seemed, at the time, like a good idea to have a simple way to disable that behaviour. However, that was almost four years ago, and it's just not likely that we'd want/need to ever disable it now.
Furthermore I really cannot imagine why anyone would actually *want* to reset the position whenever zooming occurs, since it results in a quite annoying UX.
*So, to summarize:* Based on the above, I think that we should try to remove this parameter now. On the off chance that anyone complains, re-adding it shouldn't be difficult.
If the sidebar is resized such that the thumbnails are displayed in multiple columns, then scrolling the currently active thumbnail into view doesn't work correctly in some cases.
The reason is that the code in `PDFThumbnailViewer.scrollThumbnailIntoView` implicitly assumes that the thumbnails will be present in just *one* column. Since that may no longer be the case, it's not sufficient to simply check if the thumbnail is visible. Instead we must explicitly check that *all*, i.e. 100 percent, of the thumbnail is already visible, and otherwise scroll it into view.
By making use of modern CSS features, in this case [CSS variables](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Using_CSS_variables), implementing sidebar resizing is actually quite simple. Not only will the amount of added code be fairly small, but it should also be easy to maintain since there's no need for complicated JavaScript hacks in order to update the CSS. Another benefit is that the JavaScript code doesn't need to make detailed assumptions about the exact structure of the HTML/CSS code.
Obviously this will not work in older browsers, such as IE, that lack support for CSS variables. In those cases sidebar resizing is simply disabled (via feature detection), and the resizing DOM element hidden, and the behaviour is thus *identical* to the current (fixed-width) sidebar.
However, considering the simplicity of the implementation, I really don't see why limiting this feature to "modern" browsers is a problem.
Finally, note that a few edge-cases meant that the patch is a bit larger than what the basic functionality would dictate. Among those is first of all proper RTL support, and secondly (automatic) resizing of the sidebar when the width of the *entire* viewer changes. Another, pre-existing, issue fixed here is the incomplete interface of `NullL10n`.
*Please note:* This patch has been successfully tested in both LTR and RTL viewer locales, in recent versions of Firefox and Chrome.
Fixes 2072.
https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-var
Please note that two files were excluded:
1. `web/debugger.js`, since there's code in other files that currently depend on the global availability of code in `web/debugger.js`. Furthermore, since that file isn't used in production, doing a ES6 conversion probably isn't a priority.
2. `web/grab_to_pan.js`, since that file could be considered to be "external" code. We have made smaller changes to that file over the years, however doing a full ES6 `class` conversion might be a step too far!?
Nothing uses this option anymore, so setting it is a no-op now. We can
safely remove it.
Use `SKIP_BABEL` (instead of `PDFJS_NEXT`) now if you want to skip Babel
translation for a build.
If we want to (eventually) make it possible to resize the sidebar, then having its width indirectly affect the toolbar is going to wreck havoc on the media queries used to show/hide buttons in the main toolbar (since many of them depend on the toolbar state, and thus its width).
Updating all of the media queries dynamically with JavaScript seems like a non-starter, given that it'd cause *very* messy code. It thus seem to me that we'd need to fix the position of the sidebar, to have any hope of (in the short term) addressing issue 2072.
Hence, I'm suggesting that the we always layout the sidebar in a consistent vertical position, and only animate the `viewerContainer` rather than the entire `mainContainer`.
Fixes 4052.
Fixes bug 850591.
Some PDF files contain JavaScript actions that consist of nothing more that one, or possibly several, empty string(s). At least to me, printing a warning/showing the fallback seems completely unnecessary in that case.
Furthermore, this patch also makes use of an early `return`, so that we no longer will attempt to check for printing instructions when no JavaScript is present in the PDF file.
*Note:* It would perhaps make sense to change the API/core code, such that we ignore empty entries there instead. However, that would probably be considered a breaking changing with respect to backwards compatibility, hence this simple viewer only solution.
Fixes 5767.
I don't know if this is a regression, but I noticed earlier today that depending on the initial scale *and* sidebar state, the `annotationLayer` of the first rendered page may end up duplicated; please see screen-shot below.
[screen-shot]
I can reproduce this reliable with e.g. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1112.0542v1.pdf#zoom=page-width&pagemode=bookmarks.
When the document loads, rendering of the first page begins immediately. When the sidebar is then opened, that forces re-rendering which thus aborts rendering of the first page.
Note that calling `PDFPageView.draw()` will always, provided an `AnnotationLayerFactory` instance exists, call `AnnotationLayerBuilder.render()`. Hence the events described above will result in *two* such calls, where the actual annotation rendering/updating happens asynchronously.
For reasons that I don't (at all) understand, when multiple `pdfPage.getAnnotations()` promises are handled back-to-back (in `AnnotationLayerBuilder.render()`), the `this.div` property seems to not update in time for the subsequent calls.
This thus, at least in Firefox, result in double rendering of all annotations on the first page.
Obviously it'd be good to find out why it breaks, since it *really* shouldn't, but this patch at least provides a (hopefully) acceptable work-around by ignoring `getAnnotations()` calls for `AnnotationLayerBuilder` instances that we're destroying (in `PDFPageView.reset()`).
*It appears that this accidentally broken in PR 8775.*
Note that `PDFHistory.forward` is only used with certain named actions, and these aren't that commonly used, which ought to explain why this error managed to sneak in.
Steps to reproduce the issue (and verify the fix):
1. Navigate to e.g. http://mirrors.ctan.org/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf
2. Click on a couple of links, or outline items, such that the history is populated with a few entries.
3. In the console, execute `PDFViewerApplication.pdfHistory.back()` one or more times, thus navigating back to a previous viewer position.
4. In the console, execute `PDFViewerApplication.pdfHistory.forward() one or more times.
At the last step above, no (forward) navigation happens with the current `master`; now compare with this patch.
The new `PDFSinglePageViewer` class extends the previously created abstract `BaseViewer` class.
There's *a lot* of existing functionality in `PDFViewer` that depends on all the pages being loaded and synchronously available, once the `setDocument` method has been called.
Given that initializing `PDFPageView` instances requires passing a DOM element to which the page is attached, the simplest solution I could come up with is to append all pages to a (hidden) document fragment and just swap them (one at a time) into the viewer when page switching occurs.
This patch introduces an abstract `BaseViewer` class, that the existing `PDFViewer` then extends. *Please note:* This lays the necessary foundation for the next patch.
Rather that registering a 'change' event listener on the `window`, which will thus (unnecessarily) fire in *a number* of other situations such as e.g. when the user changes the pageNumber or the current search term, we could/should just register it directly on the dynamically created `fileInput` DOM element instead.
I can see no really compelling reason why we actually need to listen for `file` changes on the `window` itself, and this way we're also able to keep the `fileInput` related code confined to one part of the code which should aid readability.
Furthermore, in custom deployments, there's less risk that we're going to interfere with "outside" code this way.
Finally, preprocessor guards were added to the `webViewerOpenFile` function, since that code doesn't make sense in e.g. the extension builds.
Rather than (basically) duplicating the `SimpleLinkService` in `test/driver.js`, with potential test failuires if you forget to update the test mock, it seems much nicer to just re-use the viewer component.
Note that `SimpleLinkService` is already bundled into the `build/components/pdf_viewer.js` file. Hence we only need to expose it similar to the other viewer components in that file, and make sure that the `gulp components` command runs as part of the test-setup.
reference tests
This patch allows us to use the common styles as used by the viewer as a
baseline for the annotation layer reference tests. They are extended
with a small set of overrides to ensure that all elements are visible
during the test.
The overrides file now only contains the absolutely necessary rules to
make all elements visible and is therefore no longer an almost verbatim
copy of the common styles.
This changes both `PDFViewer` and `PDFThumbnailViewer` to return early in the `pagesRotation` setters if the rotation doesn't change.
It also fixes an existing issue, in `PDFViewer`, that would cause errors if the rotation changes *before* the scale has been set to a non-default value.
Finally, in preparation for subsequent patches, it also refactors the rotation code in `web/app.js` to update the thumbnails and trigger rendering with the new `rotationchanging` event.
When testing the new `PDFHistory` implementation in practice, I felt that the current value of `UPDATE_VIEWAREA_TIMEOUT` is too large to be truly useful.
The purpose of the timeout is to attempt to address (the PDF.js part of) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1153393, and it's currently fairly easy for the user e.g. close the browser before the timeout had a change to finish.
Obviously, the timeout is a best-effort solution, but with the current value of `UPDATE_VIEWAREA_TIMEOUT` it's not as useful as one would want.
Please note that lowering it shouldn't be a problem, since it still prevents the browser history from updating at *every* 'updateviewarea' event or during (quick) scrolling, which is all that's really needed to not impact the UX negatively.
---
Furthermore, with this lower timeout, we can also simplify the part of the 'popstate' event handler that attempted to update the browser history with the current position before moving back. In most cases, the current position will now already exist in the history, and this *greatly* decreases the complexity of this code path.
The main impetus for this change though, is that I unfortunately found that given the asynchronous nature of updating the browser history, there is some *edge* cases where that code could cause history corruption.
In practice, the user could thus get "stuck" at a particular history entry and not be able to move back. I haven't got any reliable STR for this, since it's so difficult to trigger, but it involved navigating around in a document such that a number of destinations are added to the browser history and then changing the rotation before going back/forward in the history.
Rather that attempting to patch this code, and making it even more difficult to understand than it already is or adding more asynchronous behaviour, by far the easiest solution is to remove it and simply rely on the (lowered) `UPDATE_VIEWAREA_TIMEOUT` instead.
Since e.g. zooming can occur when navigating to a new destionation, ensure that a resulting 'updateviewarea' event doesn't trigger adding of a *temporary* position to the browser history at a bad time.
By using the (heuristic) `POSITION_UPDATED_THRESHOLD` constant, we can ensure that the current document position will be added to the browser history when a sufficiently "large" number of `updateviewarea` events have been dispatched.
This patch attempts to address an issue in the old `PDFHistory` implementation, where the current position wouldn't be correctly saved when the browser was closed.
In theory this *should* already be working, however as the discussion in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1153393 showed, it seems that both `pagehide` and `beforeunload` arrive to late to successfully update the history during closing.
Hence a timeout is used to *temporarily* add the current position to the browser history when the viewer is idle.
Note that we need to take care not to update the browser history too often, since that would render the viewer more or unusable. Furthermore, if the timeout is *too* long it may end up effectively disable this whole functionality.
The `UPDATE_VIEWAREA_TIMEOUT` constant is thus a heuristic value, which we may need to tweak taking the above into account.
This patch completely re-implements `PDFHistory` to get rid of various bugs currently present, and to hopefully make maintenance slightly easier. Most of the interface is similar to the existing one, but it should be somewhat simplified.
The new implementation should be more robust against failure, compared to the old one. Previously, it was too easy to end up in a state which basically caused the browser history to lock-up, preventing the user from navigating back/forward. (In the new implementation, the browser history should not be updated rather than breaking if things go wrong.)
Given that the code has to deal with various edge-cases, it's still not as simple as I would have liked, but it should now be somewhat easier to deal with.
The main source of complication in the code is actually that we allow the user to change the hash of a already loaded document (we'll no longer try to navigate back-and-forth in this case, since the next commit contains a workaround).
In the new code, there's also *a lot* more comments (perhaps too many?) to attempt to explain the logic. This is something that the old implementation was serverly lacking, which is a one of the reasons why it was so difficult to maintain.
One particular thing to note is that the new code uses the `pagehide` event rather than `beforeunload`, since the latter seems to be a bad idea based on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1336763.
The current implementation of `PDFHistory` contains a number of smaller bugs, which are *very* difficult to address without breaking other parts of its code.
Possibly the main issue with the current implementation, is that I wrote it quite some time ago, and at the time my understanding of the various edge-cases the code has to deal with was quite limited.
Currently `PDFHistory` may, despite most of those cases being fixed, in certain edge-cases lock-up the browser history, essentially preventing the user from navigating back/forward.
Hence rather than trying to iterate on `PDFHistory` to make it better, the only viable approach is unfortunately rip it out in its entirety and re-write it from scratch.
*It appears that this accidentally broke with PR 8394.*
Currently, the following will be printed in the console:
```
An error occurred while loading the PDF.
[object Promise],[object Promise]
```
With this patch we'll again get proper output, e.g. something with this format:
```
An error occurred while loading the PDF.
PDF.js v? (build: ?)
Message: unknown encryption method
```
Since the very early days of the viewer, it's been possible to pass in a `scale` when opening a PDF file. However, most of the time it was/is actually being ignored, which limits its usefulness considerably.
In older versions of the viewer, if a document hash was present (i.e. `PDFViewerApplication.initialBookmark` being set) or if the document existed in the `ViewHistory`, the `scale` passed to `PDFViewerApplication.open` would thus always be ignored.
In addition to the above, in the current viewer there's even more cases where the `scale` parameter will be ignored: if a (valid) browser history entry exists on document load, or if the `defaultZoomValue` preference is set to a non-default value.
Hence the result is that in most situation, a `scale` passed to `PDFViewerApplication.open` will be completely ignored.
A much better, not to mention supported, way of setting the initial scale is by using the `defaultZoomLevel` preference. In comparision, this also has the advantage of being used in situations where the `scale` would be ignored.
All in all this leads to the current situation where we have code which is essentially dead, since no part of the viewer (by default) relies on it.
To clean up this code, and to avoid having to pass (basically) unused parameters around, I'd thus like to remove the ability to pass a `scale` to `PDFViewerApplication.open`.
The method signature was improved in PR 7440, which has now been present in a number of releases (starting with `v1.6.210`).
Hence we should be able to remove this now, and just print an error message if the old format is used.
This was added in PR 7793, which has now been present in a number of PDF.js releases (from version `v1.7.225`).
Hence we should be able to remove it now, considering that the migration code was only intended as a best effort solution to avoid wiping out all existing user data at once. Also, keep in mind that `ViewHistory` is already limited with regards to the number of documents it will simultaneous store data for.
As discussed in PR 8673, we cannot solve the general issue (since that would require parsing every single page). However, we can mitigate the effect somewhat, by waiting for the FileAttachment annotations of the initially rendered page.
Rather than duplicating initialization code, we can just call `this.reset()` instead (which is also similar to other existing code, e.g. `PDFViewer`). This will also help ensure that the DOM is completely reset, before any outline items or attachments are displayed.
At this point, the default viewer is already not usable in older browsers in `gulp server` mode, since we only run the code through Babel as part of the build step.
Hence there shouldn't be much point in manually loading `compatibility.js` in `viewer.html` the way that we've been doing, especially considering that it's already being loaded by `src/shared/util.js`.
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:

Since we no longer, after PR 8555, allow changing the scale until the document is loaded, that hack is no longer necessary. Furthermore, no part of that event handling function needs to run unless a document is loaded.
The reason that this hack was initially added, is that previously the `ViewHistory` might be updated *before* `PDFViewerApplication.setInitialView` had run (in some cases leading to incorrect inital document scale). Since that is no longer possible, this is now dead code.
Don't allow setting various properties, such as `currentPageNumber`/`currentScale`/`currentScaleValue`/`pagesRotation`, before `{PDFViewer, PDFThumbnailViewer}.setDocument` has been called
After PR 8394, where the l10n service was converted to be asynchronous, we're no longer calling `_adjustWidth` after updating the `findMsg` label. Hence it's currently possible that the width of the findbar won't be correct. The solution is simple though, just call `_adjustWidth` after the `findMsg` label has been (asynchronously) updated.
Another existing issue, which was an oversight in PR 8132, is that `PDFFindBar.updateResultsCount` may be called directly from `PDFFindController`. In that case, we're not calling `_adjustWidth` at all, which means that the findbar may also not have the correct width.
The simple solution here is to always call `_adjustWidth` at the end of `updateResultsCount` (which is why we no longer need the `_adjustWidth` call at the end of `updateUIState`).
Currently we're *only* hiding the label, but not actually resetting it until a new match is found.
Obviously it's being hidden, but it seems that it really ought to be completely reset as well (since e.g. `PDFFindBar.reset` won't technically reset *all* state otherwise).
Note that these files were among the first to be converted to ES6 classes, so it probably makes sense to do another pass to bring them inline with the most recent ES6 conversions.
These changes consists mainly of replacing `var` with `let`/`const`, adding a couple of default parameters to function signatures, and finally converting `EventBus`/`ProgressBar` to proper classes.
After PR 8510, we now always lookup the localized `page_scale_percent` string to prevent any possible ordering issues. Since the scaleSelect dropdown is updated asynchronous, there's really no point in having a helper function any more, hence this code can rather be placed inline in `Toolbar._updateUIState`.
*This is an existing issue that I noticed while testing PR 8552.*
When zooming or rotation occurs, we'll try to use the current canvas as a (CSS transformed) preview until the page has been completely re-drawn.
If you manage to change the scale (or rotation) *very* quickly, it's possible that `PDFPageView.update` can be called *before* a previous `render` operation has progressed far enough to remove the `hidden` property from the canvas.
The result is thus that a page may be *entirely* black during zooming or rotation, which doesn't look very good. This effect can be a bit difficult to spot, but it does manifest even in the default viewer.
Part of the rotation handling code, in what's now `web/app.js`, hasn't really changed since before the viewer was split into multiple files/components.
Similar to other properties, such as current page/scale, we should probably avoid tracking state in multiple places. Hence I'm suggesting that we don't store the rotation in `PDFViewerApplication`, and access the value in `PDFViewer` instead.
Since `PDFViewerApplication.pageRotation` has existed for a very long time, a getter was added to avoid outright breaking third-party code that may depend on it.
Currently a number of these properties do not work correctly if set *before* calling `setDocument`; please refer to the discussion starting in https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/8539#issuecomment-309706629.
Rather than trying to have *some* of these methods working, but not others, it seems much more consistent to simply always require that `setDocument` has been called.
Since this call occurs *before* the `PDFViewer.setDocument` call, it won't actually cause any scale change.
Furthermore, moving it should not be necessary, since the `scale` is already used as the fallback case in `PDFViewerApplication.setInitialView` (provided it's non-zero, which isn't even the case in the default viewer).
Hence this patch should cause no functional changes at all, since it simply removes a piece of unnecessary code.
This patch adds Streams API support in getTextContent
so that we can stream data in chunks instead of fetching
whole data from worker thread to main thread. This patch
supports Streams API without changing the core functionality
of getTextContent.
Enqueue textContent directly at getTextContent in partialEvaluator.
Adds desiredSize and ready property in streamSink.
Currently, these properties are reset in what appears to be somewhat arbitrary locations (within the `load` and `open` methods respectively). The explanation is probably that both of these properties predates the existence of any centralized clean-up code in the viewer.
Hence I think that it makes sense to move the resetting of these properties to the `close` method, since that improves the overview of what's actually cleaned-up/reset when changing documents in the viewer.
This method is currently called from `PDFViewer._scrollUpdate` on *every* scroll event in the viewer.
However, I cannot see why this code is now necessary (assuming that it once was), since text-selection and searching still works *exactly* the same way with this patch as with the current `master`.
When `PDFPageView.updatePosition` is called, the page can be in either of these states:
1. The page hasn't been rendered, in which case the `textLayer` property doesn't exist yet.
2. The page is currently rendering, meaning that the `textLayer` property exists. Given that the `textContent` won't be fetched until the page has been successfully rendered, `TextLayerBuilder.render` will return immediately and effectively be a no-op (since there's nothing to render yet).
3. The has been been rendered, and the `textLayer` is currently rendering.
4. The page, and its `textLayer`, has been completely rendered. In this case, `TextLayerBuilder.render` will return immediately and effectively be a no-op.
Here, only the *third* case seem to require any further analysis:
When scrolling occurs while the `textLayer` is rendering, `TextLayerBuilder.render` will via a helper method call `TextLayerRenderTask.cancel` (in src/display/text_layer.js) to stop processing.
However, due to the run-to-completion nature of JavaScript, once `TextLayerRenderTask._render` has been invoked `appendText` will always run.[1]
So even though we cancel rendering of pending `textLayer`s during scrolling, via the repeated `TextLayerBuilder.render` calls from within the `PDFPageView.updatePosition` method, that does *not* prevent us from running the code inside of `TextLayerRenderTask._render` over and over for the *same* page; which all seems *very* inefficient to me.[2]
All this will thus have the effect of delaying the *actual* rendering of a `textLayer` ever so slightly while scrolling in the viewer. However, it does so at the expense of potentially hundreds of unnecessary `appendText` calls.[3]
Hence it seems to me that it's less resource intensive overall to simply let rendering of the `textLayer` complete, once it has started. Obviously, we still abort all rendering of a page, and its `textLayer`, when it's being destroyed (e.g. by being evicted from the page cache).
In case that there's any worry that the patch could affect e.g. highlighting of search results, please note that the existing code in `TextLayerBuilder.render` already calls `updateMatches` when the `TextLayerTask` resolves successfully.
*I'm sorry that this became quite long, but to try and summarize:*
`PDFPageView.updatePosition` doesn't actually do anything in *most* cases. In the one case where it matters, it seems that it's actually doing more harm than good; which is why I'm proposing that we just remove it.
---
[1] Although we may be able to skip the `render` call, provided that it happens *after* a `timeout` (as is the case in the default viewer).
[2] With current work being done to support streaming of `TextContent`, we'd also need to add just as many duplicate API calls to `PDFPageView.updatePosition`.
[3] The number of duplicate `appendText` calls is directly proportional not only to the scroll speed, but also to the number of pages in the document.
Since the localization service is now asynchronous, depending on the load the browser is under, there's a small risk that the lookup of the 'page_scale_percent' string could be delayed slightly.
If the scale would change a couple of times in *very* quick succession, there's perhaps a *theoretical* possibility that the Zoom dropdown would display an incorrect value.
Consider the following, somewhat contrived, theoretical example of two zoom commands being executed *right* after one another:
```javascript
PDFViewerApplication.pdfViewer.currentScale = 1.23;
PDFViewerApplication.pdfViewer.currentScaleValue = 'page-width';
```
Only the `currentScale` call will currently trigger a l10n lookup in `selectScaleOption`. However, as far as I understand, there's no *guarantee* that the l10n string is resolved *before* `selectScaleOption` is called again as a result of the `currentScaleValue` call.
This thus has the possibility of putting the Zoom dropdown into an inconsistent state, since it's currently updated synchronously for one code-path and asynchronously for another.
To avoid these issues, I'm proposing that we *always* update the Zoom dropdown asynchronously, such that we can guarantee that the ordering is correct.
After PR 8394, at least in Firefox, the Zoom dropdown now frequently displays an old custom scale instead of the correct one. To see this behaviour, the following STR works for me:
1. Open https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html.
2. Zoom in, by clicking on the corresponding button in the toolbar.
3. Run `PDFViewerApplication.pdfViewer.currentScaleValue` in the console.
4. Compare what's displayed in the Zoom dropdown with what's printed in the console. (If no difference can be observed, try repeating steps 2 through 4 a couple of times.)
I really don't understand why this happens, but it seems that waiting until a custom scale has been set *before* selecting it fixes things in Firefox (and works fine in e.g. Chrome as well).
Note that this patch thus makes this particular piece of the code consistent with the state prior to PR 8394.
The click handler used in Presentation Mode didn't check if the first/last page was already reached, which after PR 7529 now causes an unnecessary console error.
Hence we should simply use the already existing `_goToPreviousPage`/`_goToNextPage` methods instead, since they do the necessary bounds checking.
Fixes 8498.
Moreover, rename `FindStates` to `FindState` since enumeration names are
usually not in plural, for readability and consistency with the ones in
`src/shared/util.js`.
This patch intends to simplify future ES6 refactoring of the thumbnail code, since the current code isn't going to work well together with proper `Class`es.
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.
PR 7341 added special handling for `nameddest`s that look like pageNumbers, to prevent issues since we previously *incorrectly* supported specifying a pageNumber directly in the hash; i.e. `#10` versus the correct `#page=10` format.
Since this behaviour wasn't correct, PR 7757 fixed and deprecated the old format, which means that we no longer need to maintain the `nameddest` hack in multiple files.
This patch replaces a `var self = this;` statement with arrow functions, and `var` with `let` in `PDFLinkService.navigateTo`.
Furthermore, when I started looking at this method, it quickly became clear that its code is somewhat of a mess. Since I'm one of the persons that have touched this code over the years, I figured that it'd be a good idea to try and clean it up a bit.
Also replaces `var` with `let` in code that's touched in the patch. Please note that this should be completely safe, for two separate reasons, since trying to access let in a scope where it's not defined is first of all a runtime error and second of all an ESLint error (thanks to the `no-undef` rule).
Currently this method first uses a loop to build a temporary array to hold Promises, which are then resolved from a recursive helper function once the textContent is fetched for each page.
To me, this is unncessarily complicated, since we can do everything within one loop by simply chaining the asynchronous calls to retrieve the textContent. (Note that this guarantees that the textContent of the pages is still fetched sequentially.)
Also replaces `var` with `let` in the functions/methods that are touched in the patch. Please note that this should be completely safe, for two separate reasons, since trying to access `let` in a scope where it's not defined is first of all a runtime error and second of all an ESLint error (thanks to the `no-undef` rule).
This patch contains the following improvements:
- Only fetch the various document properties *once* per PDF file opened, and cache the result (in a frozen object).
- Always update the *entire* dialog at once, to prevent inconsistent UI state (issue 8371).
- Ensure that the dialog, and all its internal properties, are reset when `PDFViewerApplication.close` is called.
- Inline, and re-factor, the `getProperties` method in `open`, since that's the only call-site.
- Always overwrite the fileSize with the value obtained from `pdfDocument.getDownloadInfo`, to ensure that it's correct.
- ES6-ify the code that's touched in this patch.
Fixes 8371.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/object-shorthand.
For the most part, these changes are of the search-and-replace kind, and the previously enabled `no-undef` rule should complement the tests in helping ensure that no stupid errors crept into to the patch.
Rather than having to manually use `initializedPromise`, which really ought to be a private property, to ensure that setting/getting values in the `ViewHistory` works as intended, this re-factoring simply changes all of its methods to be asynchronous.
Furthermore, a `getMultiple` method (mirroring the existing `setMultiple` one) is also added to `ViewHistory`.
Finally, this patch also addresses an existing issue, where certain preferences (e.g. the default zoom level) would be ignored when calling `setInitialView` if reading from the `ViewHistory` fails for some reason.
With the exception of just one test-case, all the current `ui_utils` unit-tests can run successfully on Node.js (since most of them doesn't rely on the DOM).
To get this working, I had to first of all add a new `LIB` build flag such that `gulp lib` produces a `web/pdfjs.js` file that is able to load `pdf.js` successfully.
Second of all, since neither `document` nor `navigator` is available in Node.js, `web/ui_utils.js` was adjusted slightly to avoid errors.
[Firefox addon] Remove the `window.FirefoxCom` hack from `web/viewer.js`, since it was made redunant by the `setExternalLocalizerServices` refactoring (PR 7202 follow-up)
This prevents issues with the filename detection being skipped, when trying to download the opened PDF attachment, since `getPDFFileNameFromURL` ignores `data:` URLs for performance reasons.
The patch also changes the `defaultFilename` to use the ES6 default parameter notation, and fixes the formatting of the JSDoc comment.
Finally, since `getPDFFileNameFromURL` currently has no unit-tests, a few basic ones are added to avoid regressions.
In the first commit in PR 8203, I changed how the `DownloadManager` was included/initialized in `GENERIC`/`CHROME` builds.
The change was prompted by the fact that you cannot have conditional `import`s with ES6 modules, and I wanted to avoid bundling the general `DownloadManager` into the various Firefox specific build targets.
What I completely missed though, is that the new code meant that `download_manager.js` will now be pulling in the *entire* viewer (through `app.js`).
This is a *really* stupid mistake on my part, since it causes the `dist/build/pdf_viewer.js` used with the viewer components to now include basically the entire default viewer.
The simplest solution that I could come up with, is to add a `genericcom.js` file (similar to the `firefoxcom.js`/`chromecom.js` files) which will be responsible for importing/initializing the `DownloadManager`.
The browsers have become smarter and made this hack no longer
functional. Since this is now enforced by practically all browsers,
there is nothing more we can do about this. It is up to the user to
serve the viewer over HTTPS or deal with the warning.
Note that this is in no way specific for PDF.js. Any site with password
inputs served over HTTP has this problem right now. This hack was
provided as a convenience for the users, but nothing more than that.
Since calling `PDFPageView.setPdfPage` will in turn call `PDFPageView.reset`, which cancels all rendering and completely resets the page, it's thus possible that we currently cause some unnecessary re-rendering during the initial loading phase of the viewer.
Depending on the order in which data arrives, it's possible (and in practice always seem to happen) that the `pdfPage` property of the *second* page has already been set during `PDFViewer.setDocument`, by the time that the request for the `pdfPage` is resolved in `PDFViewer._ensurePdfPageLoaded`.
Also, note how the `setPdfPage` call in `PDFViewer.setDocument` is already guarded by this kind of check.
In various viewer files, there's a number of cases where we basically duplicate the functionality of `createPromiseCapability` manually.
As far as I can tell, a couple of these cases have existed for a very long time, and notable even before the `createPromiseCapability` utility function existed.
Also, since we can write ES6 code now, the patch also replaces a couple of `bind` usages with arrow functions in code that's touched in the patch.
This patch implements support for line annotations. Other viewers only
show the popup annotation when hovering over the line, which may have
any orientation. To make this possible, we render an invisible line (SVG
element) over the line on the canvas that acts as the trigger for the
popup annotation. This invisible line has the same starting coordinates,
ending coordinates and width of the line on the canvas.
Note that as discussed on IRC, this makes the viewer slightly slower to load *only* in `gulp server` mode, however the difference seem slight enough that I think it will be fine.
This patch gets rid of the only case in the code-base where we're throwing a plain `string`, rather than an `Error`, which besides better/more consistent error handling also allows us to enable the [`no-throw-literal`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-throw-literal) ESLint rule.
The point of this patch is to fix a couple of inconsistencies in `viewer.html`, compared to the locale files, such that the viewer would work correctly even without the `l10n/` files present.
*Note:* Since this isn't changing any of the locale files, we should *not* need to update any of the string names.
Looking through the history of the findbar code, it seems that the `findPrevious`/`findNext` buttons have never had a `title` set (note PR 2168, which was the initial findbar implementation).
Furthermore, the `placeholder` of the `findInput` didn't agree 100% with locale file either, so this is also adjusted.
I noticed that we have a `.toolbarButton.group` CSS class, which is currently applied to some buttons in the viewer. Since it attempts to adjust the `margin-right` property, I was initially a bit puzzled as to why there wasn't different rules for LTR/RTL locales.
However, checking the viewer with the DevTools inspector, in both LTR and RTL locales, I quickly found that the rule in question is *always* being overridden by other CSS rules.
It thus seem to me that while this rule was probably useful at some point, it has been dead for years and could now be removed.
The find functionality is currently not available for small devices
because the find dialog is not responsive. This patch fixes that.
To achieve this goal, the HTML is changed to always show the find
button. To prevent issues because of the addition of an extra button for
small views, the previous/next page buttons are hidden if the view
becomes small. These buttons are not useful anyway because on small
devices navigation is usually done via scrolling. The find functionality
is much more useful to have in this case. Moreover, we wrap the existing
elements into separate `div`s so that the browser can position the
elements itself when the view becomes smaller and logically connected
elements stay together when this happens.
In the CSS, extra rules for the find bar have been added to ensure that
the dialog's doorhanger is always below the find button. All findbar
`div`s are forced to be 32 pixels high to prevent the find message text
being aligned under the checkboxes. Finally, the find message is only
visible when there is actually text to display. This prevents wrapping
issues because, by default, the label has padding and margin even if
there is no text.
Instead of just upstreaming the changes from [bug 1345253](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1345253) as-is, it seemed better to simply get rid of the loops altogether and use the same approach as in `PDFViewer`/`PDFThumbnailViewer`.
This patch is another step towards enabling Babel. Since we're moving
towards ES6 modules, we will not be using UMD headers anymore, so we can
remove the validation.
The download button in pdf.js doesn't work in iOS Chrome.
- It appears to be an issue with URLs from URL.createObjectURL.
The URL is correct, but iOS Chrome won't even load the URL
when `a.click()` is called in `download_manager.js`. Even
if you manually visit the URL, you get a blank page.
- Fix this by detecting iOS Chrome and disabling createObjectURL.
The `download_manager.js` `download` method wasn't checking
`PDFJS.disableCreateObjectURL`, so check it there, too.
- Move the navigator.msSaveBlob check earlier, so that
this doesn't change IE10 / IE11 behavior.
- Remove the !URL check since pdf.js has a URL polyfill
now.
If users want to download, they can quickly click on the Download button
in the newly opened viewer.
The blobUrl logic for Firefox relies on `disableCreateObjectURL` is
never false in Firefox. If the assumption is invalid, then PDF
attachments at the attachment view will not correctly be displayed,
because a data-URL will be generated and `?<filename>` is treated as
part of the data:-URL.
Determine the page rotation at the same place as where the page size is
determined. This allows us to implement custom print page rotation logic
in one place, in the future.
The download method (and the PDF document properties) detect the
file name using `getPDFFileNameFromURL`. The title ought to also
display the PDF filename if available.
See http://eslint.org/docs/rules/brace-style.
Having the opening/closing braces on the same line can often make the code slightly more difficult to read, in particular for `if`/`else if` statements, compared to using new lines.
This patch also, for consistency with `mozilla-central`, enables the [`no-iterator`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-iterator) rule. Note that this rule didn't require a single code change.
The regular expression incorrectly marked a group as capturing.
For `http://example.com/#file.pdf`, the expected result is "file.pdf",
but instead "document.pdf" was returned.
Other PDF viewers, e.g. Adobe Reader, seem to append `FileAttachment`s to their attachments views.
One obvious difference in PDF.js is that we cannot append all the annotations on document load, since that would require parsing *every* page. Despite that, it still seems like a good idea to add `FileAttachment`s, since it's thus possible to access all the various types of attachments from a single place.
*Note:* With the previous patch we display a notification when a `FileAttachment` is added to the sidebar, which thus makes appending the contents of these annotations to the sidebar slightly more visible/useful.
A longstanding issue with the viewer is that you cannot tell if a PDF document includes an outline and/or attachments without actually opening the sidebar.
This patch contains a suggested solution for that, by displaying an hide-on-interaction notification on the `sidebarToggle` button (and the relevant sidebar view buttons). Note that this was inspired by e.g. the update notification that is displayed on the menu button in Firefox.
For an initial implementation, I've tried to do this in such a way that the notification isn't too distracting. Without being an UX expert, I don't think that we'd want something too in-your-face, in order to keep the viewer toolbars reasonable clean. (We probably do *not* want e.g. an entire notification bar in these situations, since that would take up unnecessary screen space and require actions from the user to close.)
However it's certainly possible that the current notification might simply be *too* inconspicuous to be truly helpful to users, but we could probably iterate on that if the feature itself is deemed useful.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-unused-vars; note that this patch purposely uses the same rule options as in `mozilla-central`, such that it fixes part of issue 7957.
It wasn't, in my opinion, entirely straightforward to enable this rule compared to the already existing rules. In many cases a `var descriptiveName = ...` format was used (more or less) to document the code, and I choose to place the old variable name in a trailing comment to not lose that information.
I welcome feedback on these changes, since it wasn't always entirely easy to know what changes made the most sense in every situation.
