For reasons that I now can't for the life of me understand, I included handling of the `PresentationModeState.CHANGING`-case despite it not actually doing anything.
Given that these HTML elements are not being used at all in `MOZCENTRAL`-builds, note the preprocessor check in `PDFViewerApplication._otherError`, we obviously don't need the HTML code either.
Some of the localization strings (e.g. "loading_error") are repeated multiple times throughout the `web/app.js` file, which means that we need to duplicate the fallback strings as well. Furthermore, the signature of the `IL10n.get` method makes the call-sites quite verbose.
By adding a new helper method, in `PDFViewerApplication`, we're able to gather the localization fallback strings in one central spot in `web/app.js` and also make the lookup of the error/warning messages more compact.
This code is *very* old and it even predates the existence of arrow functions. Hence we can now reduce the overall verbosity by not having to explicitly spell out `PDFViewerApplication` everywhere.
This feature was Firefox-specific, and it's now been removed from the HTML specification and it's disabled by default starting with Firefox 85. Hence it seems completely unnecessary to keep this code in the default viewer.
Please refer to https://groups.google.com/g/mozilla.dev.platform/c/tc11BCenm2c and the resources that it links to.
Given that `getComputedStyle` only works on visible elements, the result of PR 12354 is that if the viewer is placed in a *hidden* `iframe` the viewer will now be broken. This obviously wasn't the intention of that PR, hence I believe that we should limit the `position: absolute;` check slightly to avoid this.
aria-controls state
In testing, screen readers such as JAWS have trouble understanding the expanded state of the buttons that expand hidden menus due to lacking aria-expanded attribute. Also, given that the buttons do not contain the controlled/shown element, they should also define the aria-controls attribute with associated element id per https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#aria-expanded
This fixes adds these requirements for the sidebar, find, and secondary toolbar buttons.
Currently it's not *immediately* clear from the code itself, unless you look at the definition of `this._pageLabels`, that the default value is `null`.[1]
We can improve this, and also reduce the amount of code, by using modern ECMAScript features such as optional chaining and nullish coalescing.
---
[1] Keep in mind that an *empty* string is actually a valid page label, according to the PDF specification.
Given that we don't focus the viewer *itself* (among other things) when the viewer is embedded, I suppose that it makes some sense to not focus the `PasswordPrompt` input-field either on load.
In order to improve the overall UX here, if an *incorrect* password was provided we'll still focus the input-field.
Fixes 12951 (assuming we care to do so, of course).
With PR 10539, we'll now always attempt to fallback to the PDF.js built-in font renderer for fonts that fail to load (i.e. are rejected by the sanitizer). Generally speaking, these errors are the result of insufficient validation in the PDF.js font code, however in almost all cases we've seen thus far our built-in font renderer manages just fine.
However, we still trigger the `onUnsupportedFeature` reporting, which in Firefox causes the fallback bar to be displayed. Given that, in a majority of cases[1], things look fine it seems unfortunate to bother the user with the fallback bar here.
Note that even though we no longer show the fallback bar in this case, we still report telemetry as before.
---
[1] The only *known* case where things aren't fine with the built-in font renderer is issue 10232, however that document is sufficiently broken that there's a couple of other things that will trigger the fallback bar.
- For wrapped scrolling, we unfortunately need to do a fair bit of parsing of the *current* page layout. Compared to e.g. the spread-modes, where we can easily tell how the pages are laid out, with wrapped scrolling we cannot tell without actually checking. In particular documents with varying page sizes require some care, since we need to check all pages on the "row" of the current page are visible and that there aren't any "holes" present. Otherwise, in the general case, there's a risk that we'd skip over pages if we'd simply always advance to the previous/next "row" in wrapped scrolling.
- For horizontal scrolling, this patch simply maintains the current behaviour of advancing *one* page at a time. The reason for this is to prevent inconsistent behaviour for the next and previous cases, since those cannot be handled identically. For the next-case, it'd obviously be simple to advance to the first not completely visible page. However for the previous-case, we'd only be able to go back *one* page since it's not possible to (easily) determine the page layout of non-visible pages (documents with varying page sizes being a particular issue).
- For vertical scrolling, this patch maintains the current behaviour by default. When spread-modes are being used, we'll now attempt to advance to the next *spread*, rather than just the next page, whenever possible. To prevent skipping over a page, this two-page advance will only apply when both pages of the current spread are visible (to avoid breaking documents with varying page sizes) and when the second page in the current spread is fully visible *horizontally* (to handle larger zoom values).
In order to reduce the performance impact of these changes, note that the previous/next-functionality will only call `getVisibleElements` for the scroll/spread-modes where that's necessary and that "normal" vertical scrolling is thus unaffected by these changes.
To support these changes, the `getVisibleElements` helper function will now also include the `widthPercent` in addition to the existing `percent` property.
The `PDFViewer._updateHelper` method is changed slightly w.r.t. updating the `currentPageNumber` for the non-vertical/spread modes, i.e. won't affect "normal" vertical scrolling, since that helped simplify the overall calculation of the page advance.
Finally, these new `BaseViewer` methods also allow (some) simplification of previous/next-page functionality in various viewer components.
*Please note:* There's one thing that this patch does not attempt to change, namely disabling of the previous/next toolbarButtons respectively the firstPage/lastPage secondaryToolbarButtons. The reason for this is that doing so would add quite a bit of complexity in general, and if for some reason `BaseViewer._getPageAdvance` would get things wrong we could end up incorrectly disabling the buttons. Hence it seemed overall safer to *not* touch this, and accept that the buttons won't be `disabled` despite in some edge-cases no further scrolling being possible.
The whole purpose of showing a notification on the `sidebarToggle` button, when the sidebar is closed, was to give users *some* kind of indication that the PDF document contains outline/attachments/layers without having to manually open the sidebar to check.
However, in the implementation in PR 7959, I also added notifications for each view-buttons in the sidebar. Looking back at this, I've always questioned the value of the last part, since the view-buttons already have a `disabled`-state which shows if they're available or not. Hence we're actually, in a sense, duplicating notifications for the outline/attachments/layers-buttons without adding (in my opinion) all that much overall value.
All-in-all, I'm thus proposing that we only display the notification on the `sidebarToggle`-button itself, since that should really be sufficient here, which also allows us to simplify the relevant code a fair bit.
Note first of all how the `PDFDocumentProxy.getJSActions` method in the API caches the result, which makes repeated lookups cheap enough to not really be an issue.
Secondly, with the previous patch, we're now only dispatching "pageopen"/"pageclose"-events when there's actually a sandbox that listens for them.
All-in-all, with these changes we can thus simplify the default-viewer "pageopen"-event handler a fair bit.
This patch is a rebased *and* refactored version of PR 9448, such that it applies cleanly given that `PDFFindController` has changed since that PR was opened; obviously keeping the original author information intact.
This patch will thus ensure that e.g. fractions, and other things that we normalize before searching, will still be highlighted correctly in the textLayer.
Furthermore, this patch also adds basic unit-tests for this functionality.
*Note:* The `[api-minor]` tag is added, since third-party implementations of the `PDFFindController` must now always use the `pageMatchesLength` property to get accurate length information (see the `web/text_layer_builder.js` changes).

The "pageopen"/"pageclose"-events are only necessary if, and only if, there's actually a sandbox to dispatch the events in. Hence we shouldn't dispatch those events unconditionally, as soon as `enableScripting` is set, but rather initialize that functionality only when needed.
Furthermore, in `web/app.js`, there's currently a bug since we're attempting to *manually* simulate a "pageopen"-event for a page that may not actually have been rendered at the time. With the modified `BaseViewer.initializeScriptingEvents` method, we'll now dispatch a correct "pageopen"-event here.
Not only was long text in popups no longer wrapped correctly, the
alignment was also center instead of left (or right, depending on the
locale used) for both text in popups and the other parts within the
annotation's section, such as the icon.
Note that these changes were done automatically, using `gulp lint --fix`.
With this rule, we'll thus enforce a *consistent* formatting of zero-lengths in our CSS files.
Please find additional details about the Stylelint rule at https://stylelint.io/user-guide/rules/length-zero-no-unit
With the updated default viewer UI, some `dir`-dependent CSS rules are now redundant since *identical* rules are being specified for both LTR and RTL mode; after PR 12807 landed I've found even more of these cases.
Note in particular that the findbar-button rules can be simplified quite a bit, since there's a fair amount of unnecessary duplication in the CSS.
There's built-in ESLint rule, see `sort-imports`, to ensure that all `import`-statements are sorted alphabetically, since that often helps with readability.
Unfortunately there's no corresponding rule to sort `export`-statements alphabetically, however there's an ESLint plugin which does this; please see https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-sort-exports
The only downside here is that it's not automatically fixable, but the re-ordering is a one-time "cost" and the plugin will help maintain a *consistent* ordering of `export`-statements in the future.
*Note:* To reduce the possibility of introducing any errors here, the re-ordering was done by simply selecting the relevant lines and then using the built-in sort-functionality of my editor.
This implementation is inspired by the behaviour in (recent versions of) Adobe Reader, since it leads to reasonably simple and straightforward code as far as I'm concerned.
*Specifically:* We'll only consider *one* destination per page when finding/highlighting the current outline item, which is similar to e.g. Adobe Reader, and we choose the *first* outline item at the *lowest* level of the outline tree.
Given that this functionality requires not only parsing of the `outline`, but looking up *all* of the destinations in the document, this feature can when initialized have a non-trivial performance overhead for larger PDF documents.
In an attempt to reduce the performance impact, the following steps are taken here:
- The "find current outline item"-functionality will only be enabled once *one* page has rendered and *all* the pages have been loaded[1], to prevent it interfering with data regular fetching/parsing early on during document loading and viewer initialization.
- With the exception of a couple of small and simple `eventBus`-listeners, in `PDFOutlineViewer`, this new functionality is initialized *lazily* the first time that the user clicks on the `currentOutlineItem`-button.
- The entire "find current outline item"-functionality is disabled when `disableAutoFetch = true` is set, since it can easily lead to the setting becoming essentially pointless[2] by triggering *a lot* of data fetching from a relatively minor viewer-feature.
- Fetch the destinations *individually*, since that's generally more efficient than using `PDFDocumentProxy.getDestinations` to fetch them all at once. Despite making the overall parsing code *more* asynchronous, and leading to a lot more main/worker-thread message passing, in practice this seems faster for larger documents.
Finally, we'll now always highlight an outline item that the user manually clicked on, since only highlighting when the new "find current outline item"-functionality is used seemed inconsistent.
---
[1] Keep in mind that the `outline` itself already isn't fetched/parsed until at least *one* page has been rendered in the viewer.
[2] And also quite slow, since it can take a fair amount of time to fetch all of the necessary `destinations` data when `disableAutoFetch = true` is set.
With the code dispatching a "pageopen" event on the existing (general) `BaseViewer` event "pagesinit", in practice this means that the `Set` is always being created. Hence we can simplify the method overall, by always initializing the `this._pageOpenPendingSet` property.
Given that "pageopen" events are not guaranteed to occur, if the page becomes inactive *before* it finishes rendering, we should probably also avoid dispatching a "pageclose" event in that case to avoid confusing/inconsistent state in any event handlers.
Ensure that `PDFViewerApplication._contentLength` is always updated with the *correct* length, as returned by `PDFDocumentProxy.getDownloadInfo`, and only let the `PDFViewerApplication._initializeMetadata` method overwrite if it's not already been set.
Finally, in `PDFViewerApplication._initializeJavaScript`, the fallback `_contentLength` handling is now moved to just after the fallback `documentInfo` handling, such that all the fallback code is in one place within the method.
With the updated default viewer UI, a couple of `dir`-dependent CSS rules have now become redundant since *identical* rules are being specified for both LTR and RTL mode.
Furthermore, there's also some unnecessary re-defining of the `toolbarButton`/`secondaryToolbarButton`-icon related CSS rules.
Finally, for the toggle-buttons there's a particular styling applied to the `:hover:active` state, however the color wasn't defined with CSS variables.
With the updated default viewer UI, a couple of the toolbarButton icons are now *vertically* symmetrical; hence we can remove some now unneeded `transform: scaleX(-1);` rules from the viewer CSS.
Note how the `onerror` functionality is not being used in the GENERIC `DownloadManager`, since we have no way of knowing if downloading succeeded.
Hence this functionality is only *possibly* useful in MOZCENTRAL builds, however as outlined in the existing comments it's unlikely to be helpful in practice. Generally speaking, if downloading failed once in [`PdfStreamConverter.jsm`](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/809ac3660845fef6faf18ec210232fdadc0f1ad9/toolkit/components/pdfjs/content/PdfStreamConverter.jsm#294-406) it seems very likely that it would fail again; all-in-all I'm thus suggesting that we just remove the `onerror` functionality altogether here.
Currently this code is duplicated no less than three times in the `web/app.js` file, and by introducing a helper method we can avoid unnecessary repetition.
There's a fair number of cases where `FirefoxCom.request`-calls are manually wrapped in a Promise to make it asynchronous. We can reduce the amount of boilerplate code in these cases by introducing a new `FirefoxCom.requestAsync` method instead.
Furthermore, a couple of `FirefoxCom.request`-calls in the `DownloadManager` are also changed to be asynchronous rather than using callback-functions.
With this patch, we're thus able to replace a lot of *direct* usages of `FirefoxCom.request` with the new `FirefoxCom.requestAsync` method instead.
*Please note:* It's highly recommended to ignore whitespace-only changes when looking at this patch.
Besides modernizing this code, by converting it to a standard class, the existing JSDoc comments are updated to actually agree better with the way that this functionality is used now. (The next patch will reduce usage of `FirefoxCom.request` significantly, hence the JSDocs for the optional `callback` is removed to not unnecessarily advertise that functionality.)
Finally, the unnecessary/unused `return` statement at the end of `FirefoxCom.request` is also removed.
This is the "modern" way of removing a node from the DOM, which has the benefit of being a lot shorter and more concise.
Also, this patch removes the `return` statement from the "pdf.js.response" event listener, since it's always `undefined`, given that none of the `callback`-functions used here ever return anything (and don't need to either). Generally speaking, returning a value from an event listener isn't normally necessary either.
This method currently accepts a callback-function, which does feel a bit old fashioned now. At the time that this code was introduced, native Promises didn't exist yet and there's a custom Promise-implementation used instead.
However, today with Promises and async/await being used *a lot* it seems reasonable to change `DefaultExternalServices.fallback` to an `async` method instead such that the callback-function can be removed.
Note how the end of the `{PDFOutlineViewer, PDFAttachmentViewer, PDFLayerViewer}.render` methods share *almost* identical code, hence we can reduce some duplication by introducing the new `BaseTreeViewer` helper method here.
Furthermore, setting `this._lastToggleIsShow` can be made ever so slightly more efficient, since we don't care about the number of ".treeItemsHidden"-classes but only want to know if at least one exists.
This follows the same principle as the `once` option that exists in the native `addEventListener` method, and will thus automatically remove an `EventBus` listener when it's invoked; see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener#Parameters
Finally, this patch also tweaks some the existing `EventBus`-code to use modern features such as optional chaining and logical assignment operators.
Given that we already have a `PresentationModeState`-enumeration, we should use that with the "presentationmodechanged" event rather than including separate properties. Note that this new behaviour, of including an enumeration-value in the event, is consistent with lots of other existing viewer-events.
To hopefully avoid issues in custom implementations of the default viewer, any attempt to access the removed properties will now throw.
Similar to e.g. the "locale" option, this in *only* done for those build-targets where the "sandboxBundleSrc" is actually defined.
With these changes we can remove an `AppOptions` dependency from the `web/generic_scripting.js` file, thus limiting *direct* `AppOptions` usage in the default viewer files.
Given that the `dispatchEventInSandbox` method (on the scripting-classes) is asynchronous, there's a very real risk that the events won't be dispatched/handled until *after* their associated functionality has actually run (with the "Will..." events being particularily susceptible to this issue).
To reduce the likelihood of that happening, we can simply `await` the `dispatchEventInSandbox` calls as necessary. A couple of methods are now marked as `async` to support these changes, however that shouldn't be a problem as far as I can tell.
*Please note:* Given that the browser "beforeprint"/"afterprint" events are *synchronous*, we unfortunately cannot await the `WillPrint`/`DidPrint` event dispatching. To fix this properly the web-platform would need support for asynchronous printing, and we'll thus have to hope that things work correctly anyway.
Note that currently the `DidSave` event is not *guaranteed* to actually be dispatched if there's any errors during saving, which is easily fixed by simply moving it to occur in the `finally`-handler in `PDFViewerApplication.save` method.
For the `WillPrint`/`DidPrint` events, things are unfortunately more complicated. Currently these events will *only* be dispatched iff the printing request comes from within the viewer itself (e.g. by the user clicking on the "Print" toolbar button), however printing can be triggered in a few additional ways:
- In the GENERIC viewer:
- By the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd> keyboard shortcut.
- In the MOZCENTRAL viewer, i.e. the Firefox built-in viewer:
- By the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd> keyboard shortcut.
- By the "Print" item, as found in either the Firefox "Hamburger menu" or in the browser-window menu.
In either of the cases described above, no `WillPrint`/`DidPrint` events will be dispatched. In order to *guarantee* that things work in the general case, we thus have to move the `dispatchEventInSandbox` calls to the "beforeprint"/"afterprint" event handlers instead.
Rather than calling `getJavaScript` in the API and then ignoring the result, when "enableScripting" is set, it should be more efficient/faster to simply skip it altogether instead.
Finally, the `setTimeout` call at the end of `PDFViewerApplication._initializeAutoPrint` is removed, since it doesn't seem necessary any more as far as I can tell.[1]
Note that when this functionality was originally added, back in PR 2839, it seems that `pagesPromise` simply waited for the `getPage` calls of *all* pages to resolve. Today, on the other hand, the viewer fetches *and* renders the first page *before* doing the remaining `getPage` calls, and only afterwards is `pagesPromise` resolved. Hence it's not really clear why we now need to delay printing even further with a `setTimeout` call.
---
[1] The patch was tested with the following documents: https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/master/test/pdfs/bug1001080.pdf and https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/master/test/pdfs/issue6106.pdf
These callbacks should not be necessary *before* the document has been initialized. Furthermore, move the functionality to a new helper-method since `PDFViewerApplication.load` is already quite large.
Given that this relies on accessing properties on the `PDFDocumentProxy`-instance, it seems more appropriate for this code to live in `PDFViewerApplication`.
It seems that the timeout is way too short in practice, since this new integration-test failed *intermittently* already in PR 12702 (which is where the test was added).
The ideal solution here would be to simply await an event, dispatched by the viewer, however that unfortunately doesn't appear to be supported by Puppeteer.
Instead, the solution implemented here is to add a new method in `PDFViewerApplication` which Puppeteer can query to check if the scripting/sandbox has been fully initialized.
There's really no point, as far as I can tell, to attempt to dispatch an event in a non-existent sandbox. Generally speaking, even trying to do this *could* possibly even lead to errors in some cases.
Furthermore, utilize optional chaining to simplify some `dispatchEventInSandbox` calls throughout the viewer.
Finally, replace superfluous `return` statements with `break` in the switch-statement in the `updateFromSandbox` event-handler.
There's no really compelling reason, as far as I can tell, to introduce the `ENABLE_SCRIPTING` build-target, instead of simply re-using the existing `TESTING` build-target for the new `gulp integrationtest` task.
In general there should be no problem with just always enable scripting in TESTING-builds, and if I were to *guess* the reason that this didn't seem to work was most likely because the Preferences ended up over-writing the `AppOptions`.
As it turns out the GENERIC-viewer has already has built-in support for disabling of Preferences, via the `AppOptions`, and this can be utilized in TESTING-builds as well to ensure that whatever `AppOptions` are set they're always respected.
For DOM events all event names are lower-case, and the newly added PDF.js scripting-events thus "stick out" quite a bit. Even more so, considering that our internal `eventBus`-events follow the same naming convention.
Hence this patch, which changes the "updateFromSandbox"/"dispatchEventInSandbox" events to be lower-case instead.
Furthermore, using DOM events for communication *within* the PDF.js code itself (i.e. between code in `web/app.js` and `src/display/annotation_layer.js/`) feels *really* out of place.
That's exactly the reason that we have the `EventBus` abstraction, since it allowed us to remove prior use of DOM events, and this patch thus re-factors the code to make use of the `EventBus` instead for scripting-related events.
Obviously for events targeting a *specific element* using DOM events is still fine, but the "updatefromsandbox"/"dispatcheventinsandbox" ones should be using the `EventBus` internally.
*Drive-by change:* Use the `BaseViewer.currentScaleValue` setter unconditionally in `PDFViewerApplication._initializeJavaScript`, since it accepts either a string or a number.
- Actually remove the `isDown` property when destroying the scripting-instance.
- Mark all `mouseState` usage as "private" in the various classes.
- Ensure that the `AnnotationLayer` actually treats the parameter as properly *optional*, the same way that the viewer components do.
- For now remove the `mouseState` parameter from the `PDFPageView` class, and keep it only on the `BaseViewer`, since it's questionable if all of the scripting-functionality will work all that well without e.g. a full `BaseViewer`.
- Append the `mouseState` to the JSDoc for the `AnnotationElement` class, and just move its definition into the base-`AnnotationElement` class.
* the goal is to execute actions like Open or OpenAction
* can be tested with issue6106.pdf (auto-print)
* once #12701 is merged, we can add page actions
This new event essentially mirrors the existing "pagesinit" event, and will allow e.g. a custom implementation of the viewer to be notified before the current PDF document is removed from the viewer.
By using this new event, we're thus able to dispatch a "pageclose" event for JavaScript actions when closing the existing document.
Having looked at the Acrobat JavaScript specification, see https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/AcrobatDC_js_api_reference.pdf#G5.1963437, I suppose that introducing these two new events is probably the easiest solution overall.
However there's a number of things that, as far as I'm concerned, will help the overall implementation:
- Only dispatch these new events when `enableScripting = true` is set.
- Handle them *separately* from the existing "pagechanging" event dispatching, to avoid too much clutter.
- Don't dispatch either of the events if the page didn't actually change.
- When waiting for pages to render, don't dispatch "pageopen" if the page is no longer active when rendering finishes.
- Ensure that we only use *one* "pagerendered" event listener.
- Ensure that "pageopen" is actually dispatched when the document loads.
I suppose that we *could* avoid adding the "pageclose" event, and use the existing "pagechanging" event instead, however having a separate event might allow more flexibility in the future. (E.g. I don't know if we'll possibly want to dispatch "pageclose" on document close, as mentioned briefly in the specification.)
* move set/clear|Timeout/Interval and crackURL code in pdf.js
* remove the "backdoor" in the proxy (used to dispatch event) and so return the dispatch function in the initializer
* remove listeners if an error occured during sandbox initialization
* add support for alert and prompt in the sandbox
* add a function to eval in the global scope
Given that the GENERIC default viewer supports opening more than one document, and that a unique scripting-instance is now used for each document, the changes made in this patch seem appropriate.
While it's not entirely clear to me that it's ultimately desirable to use the `pdf.sandbox.js` in the Chromium-extension, given that the MOZCENTRAL-build uses `pdf.scripting.js` directly in a *custom* sandbox, the current state isn't that great since setting `enableScripting = true` with the Chromium-extension will currently fail completely.
Hence this patch, which should at least unbreak things for now.
Since the `close` method has become quite large, this small re-factoring shouldn't hurt (and may also be useful with future changes to the `_initializeJavaScript` method).
I completely missed this previously, but we obviously should remove the scriptElement as well to *really* clean-up everything properly.
Given that there's multiple existing usages of `loadScript` in the code-base, the safest/quickest solution seemed to be to have call-sites opt-in to remove the scriptElement using a new parameter.
This patch *attempts* to actually implement what's described for the `Count`-entry in the PDF specification, see https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#G11.2095911, which I mostly ignored back in PR 10890 since it seemed unnecessarily complicated[1].
Besides issue 12704, I've also tested a couple of other documents (e.g. the PDF specification) and these changes don't *seem* to break anything else; additional testing would be helpful though!
---
[1] At the time, all PDF documents that I tested worked even with a very simple approach and I thus hoped that it'd would suffice.
Similar to the previous patch, the GENERIC default viewer is capable of opening more than *one* PDF document and we should ensure that we handle that case correctly.
I was actually quite surprised to find that, despite the various `scripting`-getters implementing `destroySandbox` methods, there were no attempts at actually cleaning-up either the "sandbox" or removing the globally registered event listeners.
This patch also changes the method to skip *all* data fetching when "enableScripting" isn't active. Finally, simplifies some event-data accesses in the "updateFromSandbox" listener.
Another possible option here could be to use the `contentLength`, when it exists, and then using e.g. a custom event to always update the "filesize" in the sandbox "after the fact" with the result of the `getDownloadInfo`-call.
We can easily avoid unnecessary API-calls here, since most of the time the `metadata` will already be available here. In the *rare* case that it's not available, we can simply wait for the existing `getMetadata`-call to resolve.
This will be useful in the following patch, and note that there's also an old issue (see 5765) which asked for such an event. However, given that the use-case wasn't *clearly* specified, and that we didn't have an internal use for it at the time it wasn't implemented.
Also, ensure that all of the metadata-related properties are actually reset when the document is closed.
Compared to the, previously removed, `sandbox`/`watch-sandbox` gulp-tasks, these ones should work even when run against an non-existent/empty `build`-folder.
Also, to ensure that the development viewer actually works out-of-the-box, `gulp server` will now also include `gulp watch-dev-sandbox` to remove the need to *manually* invoke the build-tasks.
Finally, this patch also removes the `web/devcom.js` file since it shouldn't actually be needed, assuming that the "sandbox"-loading code in the `web/genericcom.js` file is actually *correctly* implemented.
Rather than having two slightly different ways of setting the pending/notFound appearance on the "findInput", we can simply use "data-status" in both cases since they're obviously mutually exclusive.
As mentioned in https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#faq-support, PDF.js version `2.6.347` is the last release with IE 11/Edge support.
Hence we should now be able to reduce unnecessary duplication in the default viewer image resources, note the files in the `web/images/` folder with a `-dark` suffix, by using only *one* SVG-image for each icon and letting the `background-color` depend on the CSS theme instead.
For the `gulp mozcentral` build-target, the resulting `web/images/` folder is reduced from `43 997` to `28 566` bytes (~35 percent).
*Please note:* I don't really know if this implementation is necessarily the *best* solution, but it seems to work well enough in e.g. Firefox Nightly and Google Chrome Beta as far as my testing goes.
Given that we already include the "Content-Disposition"-header filename, when it exists, it shouldn't hurt to also include the information from the "Content-Length"-header.
For PDF documents opened via a URL, which should be a very common way for the PDF.js library to be used, this will[1] thus provide a way of getting the PDF filesize without having to wait for the `getDownloadInfo`-promise to resolve[2].
With these API improvements, we can also simplify the filesize handling in the `PDFDocumentProperties` class.

Given that it's generally faster to call *one* function and have it loop through an object, rather than looping through an object and calling a function for every iteration, this patch will reduce the total time spent in `PDFViewerApplication._readPreferences` ever so slightly.
Also, over time we've been adding more and more preferences, rather than removing them, so using the new `AppOptions.setAll` method should be generally beneficial as well.
While the effect of these changes is quite small, it does reduces the time it takes for the preferences to be fully initialized. Given the amount of asynchronous code during viewer initialization, every bit of time that we can save should thus help.
Especially considering the recently added `viewerCssTheme` preference, which needs to be read very early to reduce the risk of the viewer UI "flashing" visibly as the theme changes, I figured that a couple of small patches reducing the time spend reading preferences cannot hurt.
Given that only two debugging hash parameters (i.e. `disableWorker` and `pdfBug`) will make this method asynchronous, we can avoid what's most of the time is an unnecessary `Promise.all` invocation.
While this does work pretty well in my quick testing, it's *very much* a hack since as far as I can tell there's no support in the CSS specification for using e.g. a CSS variable to override a `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {...}` block.
The solution implemented here is thus to *edit* the viewer CSS, by either removing the entire `@media ...` block in light-mode or by ensuring that its rules become *unconditionally* applied in dark-mode.
To simplify the overall implementation, since all of this does seem like somewhat of an edge-case, the `viewerCssTheme` preference will *only* be read during viewer initialization. (Similar to many other existing preferences, a reload is thus required when changing it.)
Originally the default preferences were defined in a JSON-file checked into the repository, which was loaded using SystemJS in development mode.
Over the years a number of changes have been made to this code, most notably:
- The preferences JSON-file is now generated automatically, during building, from the `AppOptions` abstraction.
- All SystemJS usage has been removed from the development viewer.
Hence the default preferences are now available *synchronously* even in the development viewer, and it's thus no longer necessary to defer to the microtask queue (since `getDefaultPreferences` is async) just to get the default preferences.
While the effect of these changes is quite small, it *does* reduces the time it takes for the preferences to be fully initialized. Given the amount of asynchronous code during viewer initialization, every bit of time that we can save should thus help.
- Add support for logical assignment operators, i.e. `&&=`, `||=`, and `??=`, with a Babel-plugin. Given that these required incrementing the ECMAScript version in the ESLint and Acorn configurations, and that platform/browser support is still fairly limited, always transpiling them seems appropriate for now.
- Cache the `hasJSActions` promise in the API, similar to the existing `getAnnotations` caching. With this implemented, the lookup should now be cheap enough that it can be called unconditionally in the viewer.
- Slightly improve cleanup of resources when destroying the `WorkerTransport`.
- Remove the `annotationStorage`-property from the `PDFPageView` constructor, since it's not necessary and also brings it more inline with the `BaseViewer`.
- Update the `BaseViewer.createAnnotationLayerBuilder` method to actaually agree with the `IPDFAnnotationLayerFactory` interface.[1]
- Slightly tweak a couple of JSDoc comments.
---
[1] We probably ought to re-factor both the `IPDFTextLayerFactory` and `IPDFAnnotationLayerFactory` interfaces to take parameter objects instead, since especially the `IPDFAnnotationLayerFactory` one is becoming quite unwieldy. Given that that would likely be a breaking change for any custom viewer-components implementation, this probably requires careful deprecation.
*Note that I wasn't able to reproduce the issue in Firefox, but only in Chromium-browsers.*
The bug, and it's feels almost trivial once you've found it, is that we're not passing the `transform` parameter as intended to `PDFPageProxy.render` when drawing thumbnails on HiDPI displays. Instead the canvas context is, for reasons that I don't even pretent to understand, *manually* scaled in `PDFThumbnailView._getPageDrawContext`, which thus doesn't guarantee that the `baseTransform` property on the `CanvasGraphics`-instances becomes correct.
The solution is really simple though, just handle the `transform` the same way in `PDFThumbnailView.draw` as in `PDFPageView.paintOnCanvas` and things should just work.
*This is a pre-existing issue that I noticed while working on PR 12613, and fixing this also brings the thumbnail code inline with the page code.*
Given the intermittent nature of all of this, it's somewhat difficult to reproduce it consistently; however the following steps should at least provide an outline:
1. Open the sidebar, and the thumbnailView, and start scrolling around.
2. *Quickly* close the sidebar, so that all thumbnails won't have time to finish rendering.
3. Either wait for the cleanup-timeout to occur, or simply run `PDFViewerApplication.cleanup()` in the console.
What *intermittently* happens here is that `WorkerTransport.startCleanup` rejects, and consequently that cleanup doesn't complete as intended, since some of the thumbnails are left in a *pending* renderingState[1].
Fixing this is simple though, and only requires updating `PDFThumbnailViewer.cleanup` along the lines of `BaseViewer.cleanup`.
---
[1] Keep in mind that thumbnails will *only* render when the thumbnailView is visible, to reduce resource usage.
This patch will help reduce memory usage, especially for longer documents, when the user scrolls around in the thumbnailView (in the sidebar).
Note how the `PDFPageProxy.cleanup` method will, assuming it's safe to do so, release main-thread resources associated with the page. These include things such as e.g. image data (which can be arbitrarily large), and also the operatorList (which can also be quite large).
Hence when pages are evicted from the `PDFPageViewBuffer`, on the `BaseViewer`-instance, the `PDFPageView.destroy` method is invoked which will (among other things) call `PDFPageProxy.cleanup` in the API.
However, looking at the `PDFThumbnailViewer`/`PDFThumbnailView` classes you'll notice that there's no attempt to ever call `PDFPageProxy.cleanup`, which implies that in certain circumstances we'll essentially keep all resources allocated permanently on the `PDFPageProxy`-instances in the API.
In particular, this happens when the users opens the sidebar and starts scrolling around in the thumbnails. Generally speaking you obviously need to keep all thumbnail *images* around, since otherwise the thumbnailView is useless, but there's still room for improvement here.
Please note that the case where a *rendered page* is used to create the thumbnail is (obviously) completely unaffected by the issues described above, and this rather only applies to thumbnails being explicitly rendered by the `PDFThumbnailView.draw` method.
For the latter case, we can fix these issues simply by calling `PDFPageProxy.cleanup` once rendering has finished. To prevent *accidentally* pulling the rug out from under `PDFPageViewBuffer` in the viewer, which expects data to be available, this required adding a couple of new methods[1] to enable checking that it's indeed safe to call `PDFPageProxy.cleanup` from the `PDFThumbnailView.draw` method.
It's really quite fascinating that no one has noticed this issue before, since it's been around since basically "forever".
---
[1] While it should be *very* rare for `PDFThumbnailView.draw` to be called for a pageView that's also in the `PDFPageViewBuffer`, given that pages are rendered before thumbnails and that the *rendered page* is used to create the thumbnail, it can still happen since rendering is asynchronous.
Furthermore, it's also possible for `PDFThumbnailView.setImage` to be disabled, in which case checking the `PDFPageViewBuffer` for active pageViews *really* matters.
* When no actions then set it to null instead of empty object
* Even if a field has no actions, it needs to listen to events from the sandbox in order to be updated if an action changes something in it.
Note that a number of these cases are covered by existing unit-tests, and a few others only matter for the development/build scripts.
Furthermore, I've also tried to the best of my ability to test each case *manually* to hopefully further reduce the likelihood of this patch introducing any bugs.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-useless-escape
Given the number of parameters, and the fact that many of them are booleans, the call-sites are no longer particularly easy to read and understand. Furthermore, this slightly improves the formatting of the JSDoc-comment, since it needed updating as part of these changes anyway.
Finally, this removes an unnecessary `numViews === 0` check from `getVisibleElements`, since that should be *very* rare and more importantly that the `binarySearchFirstItem` function already has a fast-path for that particular case.
This patch addresses a review comment, which pointed out that we should *also* handle the pageNumber-input, from PR 12493.
Given that a user *manually* changing pages using the pageNumber-input, on the toolbar, could be regarded as a pretty strong indication of user-intent w.r.t. navigation in the document, hence I suppose that updating the browser history in this case as well probably won't hurt.
All of these methods will, in one way or another, cause e.g. scrolling or zooming to occur and consequently they don't really make sense unless there's an active PDF document. Especially since all of these methods end up calling into a `BaseViewer`-instance, which already contains similar early returns in essentially all of it's methods and setters.
This fixes only those warnings, as reported by https://lgtm.com/projects/g/mozilla/pdf.js?mode=list, that make sense (as far as I'm concerned).
Hence this patch leaves the following things unaddressed:
- The "recommendation"-category, since it only complains about unused variables. However, note that all of those cases are purposely included and that there's thus ESLint-disable comments added to explictly allow them.
- The "warning"-category, which still contains two complaints. However, as far as I can tell, they are both false positives.
Given first of all the false positives of the LGTM static analyzer, and secondly that we'd need to add (essentially duplicated) disable-comments for the unused variable cases, it's not entirely clear to me if we actually want to work towards including LGTM in the PDF.js project (e.g. running alongside Travis) or if we should just close issue 11965.
Given that we're now accessing certain API-functionality *directly* in this file, e.g. the AnnotationStorage and Optional Content configuration, ensuring that there's not a version mismatch definitely seem like a good idea to prevent any *subtle* future bugs.
Ensure that these tooltip-only Annotations are handled as "internalLink"s, to ensure that they behave as expected in PresentationMode (e.g. they should still use a `pointer`-cursor).
Ensure that `PDFLinkService.getDestinationHash` won't create links with empty hashes, since those don't really make a lot of sense in general (this improves things for tooltip-only Annotations).
This PDF file can be used for testing: http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment/doc/pdfcomment.pdf#page=14
- Return early in `PDFViewerApplication._initializeJavaScript` for PDF documents without any `fieldObjects`, which is the vast majority of all documents, to prevent errors when trying to parse a non-existent object.
- Similar to the other `PDFViewerApplication._initialize*` methods, ignore the `fieldObjects` if the document was closed before the data resolved.
- Fix the JSDoc comment for the `generateRandomStringForSandbox` helper function, since there's currently a bit too much copy-and-paste going on :-)
- Change `FirefoxScripting` to a class with static methods, which is consistent with the surrounding code in `web/firefoxcom.js`.
There's no compelling reason to update this property *manually* in multiple places, since that's error-prone with any future code changes, given that `_updateInternalState` is always called just before anyway.
While the referenced issue could very well be seen as an edge-case, this patch adds support for updating of the browser history when interacting with the thumbnails in the sidebar (assuming we want to do this).
The main reason for adding the history implementation in the first place, was to simplify navigating back to a previous position in the document when named/explicit destinations are used (e.g. when clicking on "links" or when using the outline in the sidebar).
As such, it never really crossed by mind to update the browser history when the thumbnails are used. However, a user clicking on thumbnails could be regarded as a pretty strong indication of user-intent w.r.t. navigation in the document, hence I suppose that updating the browser history in this particular case probably won't hurt.
This modernizes and improves the code, by using `async`/`await` and by extracting the helper function to its own method.
To hopefully avoid confusion, given the next patch, the method is also re-named to `goToDestination` to make is slightly clearer what it actually does.
Given that we're no longer using SystemJS to load the `web/` files, see PR 11919, there's nothing that prevents us from using standard `ìmport` statements in this file.
Obviously it's still necessary to load part of the code conditionally on the build type, however this still allows us to clean-up and simplify at least some of this file.
The `debugger`-statement would only, potentially, make sense during development and we thus want to prevent it from being accidentally included when landing code.
The `alert`, `confirm`, and `prompt` functions should generally be avoided, with the few intended cases manually allowed.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rules at:
- https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-debugger
- https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-alert
In the rest of the viewer code-base, we purposely don't treat `RenderingCancelledException`s as actual errors (since they aren't) and consequently we never log them.
Hence it makes sense, as far as I'm concerned, to simply treat `RenderingCancelledException`s the same way when printing in Firefox.
While I don't print a whole lot, I cannot remember seeing these "errors" logged when printing until *very* recently[1]. Given that the browser print functionality and UI, in Firefox, is under active development it's certainly possible that there's some recent changes to the related timings which make `RenderingCancelledException`s more likely now.
---
[1] Interestingly, only some PDF documents seem to be affected as well; I'm able to reproduce this pretty consistently by opening https://www.uni-muenster.de/imperia/md/content/ziv/pdf/printpay_flyer.pdf in Firefox and then repeating the following sequence:
Clicking on the PDF.js print button, and then cancelling printing.
This should be helpful to easily determine the *exact* version of the viewer itself, when looking at a *built* `web/viewer.js` file.
Note that we're already including this information in other built files, such as e.g. `pdf.js`, `pdf.worker.js`, `pdf_viewer.js`, and `pdf.image_decoders.js`.
This adds a new `PDFViewerApplication.triggerPrinting` method, which takes care of checking that printing is actually supported before calling `window.print`, to remove the need to duplicate that code in multiple places.
Also, removes the `PDFViewerApplication.printing` getter since it's not really necessary any more.
For now we need to use a Babel-plugin, since part of our build system doesn't support this fully (e.g. Babel-loader, Webpack 4.x, and SystemJS).
While the `?.` operator will thus always be transpiled by Babel, even in modern builds, simply supporting it for development purposes seems like a step in the right direction.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Optional_chaining
Given how those are used, there *should* not be any situation in which e.g. `undefined` is ever returned. However, actually checking that the pageView/thumbnail is defined cannot hurt.
Also, re-factor `webViewerPageRendered` slightly since the `pageView` is no longer unconditionally necessary after the previous patches; note in particular that the thumbnails will only be updated when the sidebar *and* the thumbnailView is visible.
Finally, fixes a bug in `webViewerPageChanging` whereby an empty string would not be treated as a valid pageLabel and instead be replaced by `null`.
Given that the default viewer only uses the "page stats" when debugging is enabled, it seems much simpler and more straightforward to simply query the API *directly* when this information is actually required. That way, there's a bit less information that needs to be stored/updated on each `PDFPageView`-instance.
Finally, since the `EventBus` now exists, we no longer need to handle the "page stats"-case in the regular listeners in `web/app.js`, but can instead add special "page stats"-listeners only when debugging is enabled.
The way that rendering errors are handled in `PDFPageView` is *very* old, and predates e.g. the introduction of the `EventBus` by several years.
Hence we should be able to simplify things a bit here, by including the Error (when it exists) in the "pagerendered" event and thus avoid having to reach into `PDFPageView` for it.
Note that a `RenderingCancelledException` *should* never actually reach this method, but better safe than sorry I suppose, considering that both `PDFPageView` and `PDFThumbnailView` are already catching `RenderingCancelledException`s since those are *not* Errors in the normal sense of the word.
For years the loadingBar and sidebarContainer has had a slightly annoying and unfortunate dependency, since the loadingBar width follows the main toolbar width[1].
To prevent the loadingBar from obscuring part of the sidebarContainer, especially the buttons, the sidebarContainer is thus moved down when the loadingBar is visible. This has always annoyed me[2], since it means that the buttons in the sidebar may thus move vertically which seems bad from a UX perspective.
Now that CSS variables are available in all supported browsers[3] however, fixing the loadingBar/sidebarContainer overlap issues are finally easy. The solution is simply to let the sidebarContainer, when visible, control the loadingBar left position (right in RTL locales) in the same way that the viewerContainer is handled. Hence the sidebarContainer can now have a *consistent* vertical postition, without the loadingBar overlapping it.
---
[1] Obviously the right position (left in RTL locales) of the loadingBar is, potentially, reduced to account for a scrollbar.
[2] I've tried to fix this a few times, but it always seemed like more trouble than it's worth.

The `getVisibleElements` helper function currently requires the viewerContainer to be absolutely positioned; possibly fixing this is tracked in issue 11626.
Without `position: absolute;` set, in the CSS, there's a number of things that won't work correctly such as e.g.
- Determining which pages are currently visible, thus forcing all of them to render on load and increasing resource usage significantly; note https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#allthepages
- Scrolling pages into view, by using the `BaseViewer.currentPageNumber` setter or similar.
Based on the number of opened issues over the years, the fact that `position: absolute;` is required has shown to be something that users can very easily overlook unless they follow e.g. the `simpleviewer` example to the letter.
Hence, to improve things until such a time that issue 11626 is fixed, we'll now refuse to initialize a `BaseViewer` instance unless the `container` has the required CSS set. (Forcibly setting `position: absolute;` on the viewerContainer element is bound to cause significantly more issues/confusion, hence the current approach of throwing an Error.)
This reverts commit 9e4552d792 for causing the sidebar to become too narrow when the entire viewer is resized.
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Load the viewer.
2. Open the sidebar.
3. Resize the sidebar, making it wider.
4. Resize the entire viewer, i.e. the browser window, making it *narrower* than 400 pixels.
**Expected result:**
The sidebar width is clamped at 200 pixels.
**Actual result:**
The sidebar becomes too narrow.
The cause of this bug is, in hindsight, quite obvious since the `clamp` helper function implicitly assumes that the `min`/`max` arguments are correctly sorted. At viewer widths *below* 400 pixels, that assumption is broken which explains the bug.
Given that the outlineView/attachmentsView/layersView all share a common base-class and CSS rules, see PRs 12169 and 12170, the names of the CSS variables in question feels slightly strange now.
This patch purposely starts small, by removing IE-specific code from various JS/CSS files in the `web/` folder.
There's obviously lots of potential for additional clean-up, especially the removal of no longer necessary polyfills in `src/shared/compatibility.js`, however that will require some care considering that certain polyfills may also be necessary for e.g. Node.js or the Chromium-extension as well.
Generally speaking, once we start removing polyfills it's probably a good idea to consult the compatibility information on https://developer.mozilla.org/ and also https://caniuse.com/ first. (Deciding on the lowest supported Chromium version, for the extension, would also seem like a good idea.)
This reverts commit 2a0de0b66b.
I can no longer reproduce these issues locally, and if ad blockers are still interfering with this functionality we really ought to pursue a mozilla-central solution to the problem instead. (Also, I'm no longer getting an "Open with Firefox"-option in the "Open with"-dialog making the PDF attachments experience worse for all users.)
This should help prevent future issues, caused by the user omitting the `viewer` option and/or providing an incorrect `container` option, when initializing a `BaseViewer`-instance.
This fixes a set of issues described in Mozilla bug 1662426[1].
In particular, once the print callback fails once (because the printing
operation has been canceled in Gecko / replaced by a newer one, for example) it
can't be re-invoked.
This patch fixes it by properly cancelling the render task if it throws, or if
the print callback is called again while ongoing.

All of the core/display functionality needed to support this already exists, we simply need to handle these named actions in the viewer and the buttons will "just" work.
Unfortunately there's not really any good way of testing this, but given the size and scope of the patch that's hopefully OK.
This is *similar* to the existing linting for JavaScript files, but covers CSS files instead.
While there's a lot of rules that could potentially be used, the main advantage of using Stylelint is that it has Prettier integration which means that we can automatically enforce a *consistent* style for our CSS files as well.
As a proof of concept, this patch is purposely limited to:
- Adding a simple rule, here `block-no-empty` is chosen; see https://stylelint.io/user-guide/rules/block-no-empty
- Adding Prettier integration, to unify the style of our CSS files.
Please find additional information at https://stylelint.io/
*Besides, obviously, adding viewer support:* This patch attempts to improve the general API for Optional Content Groups slightly, by adding a couple of new methods for interacting with the (more complex) data structures of `OptionalContentConfig`-instances. (Thus allowing us to mark some of the data as "private", given that it probably shouldn't be manipulated directly.)
By utilizing not just the "raw" Optional Content Groups, but the data from the `/Order` array when available, we can thus display the Layers in a proper tree-structure with collapsible headings for PDF documents that utilizes that feature.
Note that it's possible to reset all Optional Content Groups to their default visibility state, simply by double-clicking on the Layers-button in the sidebar.
(Currently that's indicated in the Layers-button tooltip, which is obviously easy to overlook, however it's probably the best we can do for now without adding more buttons, or even a dropdown-toolbar, to the sidebar.)
Also, the current Layers-button icons are a little rough around the edges, quite literally, but given that the viewer will soon have its UI modernized anyway they hopefully suffice in the meantime.
To give users *full* control of the visibility of the various Optional Content Groups, even those which according to the `/Order` array should not (by default) be toggleable in the UI, this patch will place those under a *custom* heading which:
- Is collapsed by default, and placed at the bottom of the Layers-tree, to be a bit less obtrusive.
- Uses a slightly different formatting, compared to the "regular" headings.
- Is localizable.
Finally, note that the thumbnails are *purposely* always rendered with all Optional Content Groups at their default visibility state, since that seems the most useful and it's also consistent with other viewers.
To ensure that this works as intended, we'll thus disable the `PDFThumbnailView.setImage` functionality when the Optional Content Groups have been changed in the viewer. (This obviously means that we'll re-render thumbnails instead of using the rendered pages. However, this situation ought to be rare enough for this to not really be a problem.)
This patch:
- Removes the :hover effect from the `findMsg` element, since it's a simple span and clicking it *obviously* does nothing.
- Given the way that the checkboxes are visually hidden, with `opacity: 0;` and absolute positioning, they are unfortunately still focusable (fixed by adding `pointer-events: none;`). To reproduce this, in `master`: Place the mouse pointer over the upper left-hand corner of the "Highlight all"-option, and notice that the :hover effect vanishes and clicking toggles the "Match case"-option instead.
This special progressBar is only used in the (fortunately) rare case when a server doesn't provide a valid `Content-Length` header. Since this progressBar isn't normally seen, when testing the default viewer, it's certainly very easy to see why these CSS rules were missed during review.
Furthermore, this patch also makes a couple of *small* progressBar CSS tweaks not related to the colours.
With the changes in PR 11077, these panels are no longer aligned exactly with the *center* of the corresponding toolbar buttons. This is especially noticeable for the `findbar` at narrow viewer width.
Unfortunately the work-around implemented in PR 12286 didn't actually work in all cases, please refer to the previous commit messages.
To prevent opening of PDF attachments from being completely broken for some users, we'll simply force-download them for now in MOZCENTRAL-builds to unbreak things. (Given that the "Open with" dialog now features a "Open with Firefox"-option, this is less bad than it previously would've been.)
This should provide better filetype detection when downloading PDF attachments in the viewer.
Also, to avoid creating the "is PDF file" regular expression more than once it's extracted into a global constant instead.
This reverts commit 1e5d4b6a80, since it unfortunately doesn't work in all situations.
Please note that I did *successfully* test the patch in a local Firefox build, obviously with an ad blocker installed.
However, I've now tested the *latest* Nightly-build with my default profile, and unfortunately I can still reproduce the bug there!?
Unfortunately e.g. ad blockers can interfere with `window.open` calls, thus preventing PDF attachments from being opened/viewed. For the MOZCENTRAL-build, we can work-around this problem by using a (hidden) link instead.
Without these changes, clicking on the "Open With Different Viewer"-button on the Firefox fallback bar won't actually do anything and the following is printed in the web-console:
```
Uncaught TypeError: (destructured parameter) is undefined
download resource://pdf.js/web/viewer.js:956
response resource://pdf.js/web/viewer.js:1054
listener resource://pdf.js/web/viewer.js:11891
viewer.js:956:1
```
Furthermore, this patch also fixes `PDFViewerApplication.fallback` to pass in an explicit `sourceEventType` when triggering downloading. While this, on its own, would obviously have been sufficient to fix the bug described above, it seems wrong to outright break backwards compatibility of any older `PDFViewerApplication.download` calls.
Good form type detection is important to get reliable telemetry and to
only show the fallback bar if a form cannot be filled out by the user.
PDF.js only supports AcroForm data, so XFA data is explicitly unsupported
(tracked in issue #2373). However, the previous form type detection
couldn't separate AcroForm and XFA well enough, causing form type
telemetry to be incorrect sometimes and the fallback bar to be shown for
forms that could in fact be filled out by the user.
The solution in this commit is found by studying the specification and
the form documents that are available to us. In a nutshell the rules are:
- There is XFA data if the `XFA` entry is a non-empty array or stream.
- There is AcroForm data if the `Fields` entry is a non-empty array and
it doesn't consist of only document signatures.
The document signatures part was not handled in the old code, causing a
document with only XFA data to also be marked as having AcroForm data.
Moreover, the old code didn't check all the data types.
Now that AcroForm and XFA can be distinguished, the viewer is configured
to only show the fallback bar for documents that only have XFA data. If
a document also has AcroForm data, the viewer can use that to render the
form. We have not found documents where the XFA data was necessary in
that case.
Finally, we include unit tests to ensure that all cases are covered and
move the form type detection out of the `parse` function so that it's
only executed if the document information is actually requested
(potentially making initial parsing a tiny bit faster).
Currently there's enough leading padding that the `numPages` span feels somewhat "disconnected" from the `pageNumber` input, which seems unfortunate when they contain related state.
This solution is obviously *not* perfect, since printing being cancelled will thus remove the warning as well. However, a similar problem already exists for saving, since the user may cancel that one as well.
All-in-all, since way cannot really detect with absolute certainty that either saving or printing actually finished, this seems good enough for now.
Given that `renderInteractiveForms` is now enabled by default in "full" viewer, it seems reasonable to enable it by default in the viewer components as well.
Especially considering that it's simple to disable, when creating the affected components, for anyone implementing their own viewer.
Related to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1659753
This allows Firefox trigger a "save" event from ctrl/cmd+s or the "Save
Page As" context menu, which in turn lets pdf.js generate a new PDF if
there is form data to save.
I also now use `sourceEventType` on downloads so Firefox can determine if
it should launch the "open with" dialog or "save as" dialog.
With the changes in PR 11077, the zoom dropdown now looks "squashed" in locales with longer than average zoom-strings[1]. The reason is that the zoom-value and the dropdown-icon are too close together, which doesn't look good in affected locales.
To fix this, the following changes are made:
- Increase the calculated dropdown width, in `Toolbar._adjustScaleWidth`, to account for the much wider icon (7 px -> 16 px) and the increased padding.
- Move the dropdown-icon *slightly* outwards, and also *slightly* reduce the left (right in RTL locales) padding of the dropdown-contents.
- Finally, remove the right (left in RTL locales) padding to reduce the chance of the *default* browser dropdown-icon being visible.

[1] This affects e.g. the `de` and `nl` locales, but there's probably other examples as well.
This is needed for some smoke tests in mozilla central for testing forms
in pdf.js.
Note: AnnotationLayerBuilder.render() doesn't really need to be async, but
we're talking of making the annotation's render functions async, so this
will make that switch easier.
Currently using a touchscreen with pdf.js doesn't work so well. In Firefox,
with apz.allow_zooming = false (default on current release/beta), it does a
reflow zoom which makes the UI elements bigger. And with apz.allow_zooming = true
(default on current Firefox nightly), or in Chrome, it does a smooth pinch-zoom
but that also scales up the entire UI. Neither of these is a particularly good
experience, so this patch just disables any multi-touch gestures. Touch-based
panning (which involves a single touch point) is left unaffected.
I obviously missed this during review, but currently `PDFViewerApplication._saveInProgress` is reset *synchronously* in `PDFViewerApplication.save`.
That was probably not intended, since it essentially renders the `PDFViewerApplication._saveInProgress` check pointless given that the actual saving is an *asynchronous* operation.
The original code would get a long sequence of miniscule "tick" values while
pinch-zooming, and each tick value would cause a 1.1x zoom. So even the smallest
pinch gesture on a trackpad would cause high amounts of zoom. This patch
accumulates the wheel deltas until they reach an integer threshold (with a
tweak of the scaling factor to make it feel more natural) at which point it
triggers the zoom based on the integer component of the accumulated delta. The
fractional part is retained in the accumulator.
Prior to PR 11601, the `disableCreateObjectURL` option was present on `getDocument` in the API, since it was (potentially) used when decoding JPEG images natively in the browser. Hence setting this option, which was done automatically using compatibility-code, were in some browsers necessary in order for e.g. JPEG images to be correctly rendered.
The downside of the `disableCreateObjectURL` option is that memory usage increases significantly, since we're forced to build and use `data:` URIs (rather than `blob:` URLs).
However, at this point in time the `disableCreateObjectURL` option is only necessary for *some* (non-essential) functionality in the default viewer; in particular:
- The openfile functionality, used only when manually opening a new file in the default viewer.
- The download functionality, used when downloading either the PDF document itself or its attached files (if such exists).
- The print functionality, in the generic `PDFPrintService` implementation.
Hence neither the general PDF.js library, nor the *basic* functionality of the default viewer, depends on the `disableCreateObjectURL` option any more; which is why I'm thus proposing that we remove the option since using it is a performance footgun.
*Please note:* To not outright break currently "supported" browsers, which lack proper `URL.createObjectURL` support, this patch purposely keeps the compatibility-code to explicitly disable `URL.createObjectURL` usage *only* for browsers which are known to not work correctly.[1]
While it's certainly possible that there's additional, likely older, browsers with broken `URL.createObjectURL` support, the last time that these types of problems were reported was over *three* years ago.[2]
Hence in the *very* unlikely event that additional problems occur, as a result of these changes, we can either add a new case in the compatibility-code or simply declare the affected browser as unsupported.

[1] Which are IE11 (see issue 3977), and Google Chrome on iOS (see PR 8081).
[2] Given that `URL.createObjectURL` is used by default, you'd really expect more reports if these problems were widespread.
With recent changes, these event handlers are now essentially identical. Hence a new helper function is added, to reduce unnecessary duplication (will also be helpful with upcoming changes).
These two classes are unsurprisingly quite similar, and with upcoming changes[1] the amount of (essentially) duplicated code will increase even further.
Notable changes:
- Collect shared functionality in the `BaseTreeViewer` class, reducing both current and future code-duplication.
- Reduce unnecessary duplication in the CSS rules, which will be particularly useful with upcoming changes.
- Tweak the attachmentsView to use links, rather than buttons, to simplify (primarily) the CSS rules.
---
[1] Once API support for "Optional Content" lands, I've got more-or-less finished patches to add viewer support as well.
While the parameter name (clearly) suggests that an `AnnotationStorage`-instance is expected, looking at the only call-sites that include the parameter (i.e. the `PDFPrintServiceFactory` instances) it actually contains just a normal Object.
Hence it seems much more reasonable to actually pass a valid `AnnotationStorage`-instance, as the name suggests, and simply have `PDFPageProxy.render` do the `annotationStorage.getAll()` call. (Since we cannot send an `AnnotationStorage`-instance as-is to the worker-thread, given the "structured clone algorithm".)
Since the attachment fetching/parsing is already asynchronous, possibly delaying the dispatching of an "attachmentsloaded" event should thus not be a problem in general.
Note that in some cases, i.e. PDF documents with no "regular" attachments and only FileAttachment annotations, we'll thus no longer dispatch an "attachmentsloaded" event when `attachmentsCount === 0` and instead wait for the FileAttachment parsing to finish. (The use of a timeout still guarantees that an "attachmentsloaded" event is *eventually* dispatched though.)
This patch *considerably* simplifies the "attachmentsloaded" event handler, in `PDFSidebar`, since the details are now abstracted away from the consumer.
Finally, add a check in `_appendAttachment` to ensure (indirectly) that the FileAttachment annotation is actually relevant for the active document.
This approach is already used in other parts of the code-base, see e.g. `PDFOutlineViewer`, and has the advantage of only invalidating the DOM once rather than for every attachment item.
This reverts commit 50f73092e1. This
causes an inconsistency with the integrated find bar that should be
discussed more before moving on with this (refer to PR #12141).
*The [api-minor] label probably ought to have been added to the original PR, given the changes to the `createAnnotationLayerBuilder` signature (if nothing else).*
This patch fixes the following things:
- Let the `AnnotationLayer.render` method create an `AnnotationStorage`-instance if none was provided, thus making the parameter *properly* optional. This not only fixes the reference tests, it also prevents issues when the viewer components are used.
- Stop exporting `AnnotationStorage` in the official API, i.e. the `src/pdf.js` file, since it's no longer necessary given the change above. Generally speaking, unless absolutely necessary we probably shouldn't export unused things in the API.
- Fix a number of JSDocs `typedef`s, in `src/display/` and `web/` code, to actually account for the new `annotationStorage` parameter.
- Update `web/interfaces.js` to account for the changes in `createAnnotationLayerBuilder`.
- Initialize the storage, in `AnnotationStorage`, using `Object.create(null)` rather than `{}` (which is the PDF.js default).
These changes improves the existing search functionality triggered when
the URL contains a `#search` hash.
In addition to performing the actual search immediately like before,
this will ensure the search text field inside the find bar gets
populated with the text currently being searched for.
- Given the `DefaultExternalServices` implementation, the `PDFViewerApplication.supportsDocumentFonts` getter is guaranteed to be defined and we can thus remove some (now) unnecessary `PDFJSDev` checks from the `webViewerInitialized` function.
- By slightly tweaking the "pdfBugEnabled" definition in `web/app_options`, similar to the existing ones for "workerSrc" and "cMapUrl", we can remove some `PDFJSDev` checks from the `PDFViewerApplication._parseHashParameters` method.
The current behavior for `getPagesOverview` assumes we want to only
auto-rotate if:
- `enablePrintAutoRotate` is `true`
- `isFirstPagePortrait !== isPortraitOrientation(size)`
This second check is what is breaking #9297. The two PDFs linked have a
landscape orientation first page, as well as subsequent pages. Since
`false === false`, we print portrait.
Let's drop the comparison with `isFirstPagePortrait`, and print
landscape if `!isPortraitOrientation(size)`.
Fixes#9297.
Given the dummy-methods on `DefaultExternalServices`, there's no longer any compelling reason not to (attempt to) report telemetry unconditionally.
The only larger change consists of moving the `KNOWN_VERSIONS` and `KNOWN_GENERATORS` arrays ouf of the `PDFViewerApplication._initializeMetadata` method.
*Please note:* Most of this patch consists of whitespace-only changes.
There's a few things that could be improved in the current implementation, such as:
- It's currently necessary to *both* manually track the `featureId`s which should trigger delayed fallback, as well as manually report telemetry in affected cases.
Obviously there's only two call-sites as of now (forms and javaScript), but it still feels somewhat error-prone especially if more cases were to be added in the future. To address this, this patch adds a new (private) method which abstracts away these details from the call-sites.
- Generally, it also seems nice to reduce *and* simplify the amount of state we need to store on `PDFViewerApplication` in order to support the "delayedFallback" functionality.
Also, having to *manually* work with the "delayedFallback"-array in multiple places feels cumbersome and makes e.g. the `PDFViewerApplication.fallback` method less clear as to its behaviour.
- Having code *outside* of `PDFViewerApplication`, i.e. in the event handlers, directly access properties which are marked as "private" via a leading underscore doesn't seem that great in general.
Furthermore, having the event handlers directly deal with that should be internal state also seem unfortunate. To address this, the patch will instead make use of a new `PDFViewerApplication.triggerDelayedFallback` callback.
- There's at least one code-path in the viewer, see `PDFViewerApplication.error`, where `fallback` can be called without an argument.
It's currently possible (although maybe somewhat unlikely) that such a call *could* be overridden by the `featureId` of a pending "delayedFallback" call, thus not reporting the *correct* fallback reason.
- The "delayedFallback"-state weren't being reset on document close (which shouldn't affect Firefox, but nonetheless it ought to be fixed).
For now we need to use a Babel-plugin, since Webpack 4.x doesn't seem to support it yet. (Most likely we'll have to update to Webpack 5, once that becomes available, in order for this to be directly supported. This is thus also blocked on removing the `webpack-stream` package.)
While the `??` operator will thus always be transpiled by Babel, even in modern builds, simply supporting it for development purposes seems like a step in the right direction.

With the changes in previous patches, the `disableCreateObjectURL` option/functionality is no longer used for anything in the API and/or in the Worker code.
Note however that there's some functionality, mainly related to file loading/downloading, in the GENERIC version of the default viewer which still depends on this option.
Hence the `disableCreateObjectURL` option (and related compatibility code) is moved into the viewer, see e.g. `web/app_options.js`, such that it's still available in the default viewer.
With these changes SystemJS is now only used, during development, on the worker-thread and in the unit/font-tests, since Firefox is currently missing support for worker modules; please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687
Hence all the JavaScript files in the `web/` and `src/display/` folders are now loaded *natively* by the browser (during development) using standard `import` statements/calls, thanks to a nice `import-maps` polyfill.
*Please note:* As soon as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687 is fixed in Firefox, we should be able to remove all traces of SystemJS and thus finally be able to use every possible modern JavaScript feature.
Given that the `getPDFFileNameFromURL` helper function has a specific code-path for handling non-string inputs, this empty string fallback really isn't necessary at the call-site in `web/pdf_document_properties.js`.
Apparently the old link format used in MOZCENTRAL-builds, with the blob URL separated from the filename with a `?` character violates the specification; see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1632644#c5
Obviously just removing the `?`-part of the URL would have worked, but that would also have meant that we'd no longer be able to provide the correct filename when the user attempts to download the opened PDF attachment.
To fix this we'll instead append the filename in the hash-part of the URL, which however required using a *custom* hash-parameter to avoid triggering the fallback "named destination" code-paths in the viewer.
Note that only changing the `web/pdf_attachment_viewer.js` file wasn't sufficient to fix the bug, and we also need to tweak the `webViewerInitialized` function in `web/app.js` since MOZCENTRAL-builds used to ignore *everything* in the URL hash.
This particular code is very old, but changing it *should* be completely safe given that the `PDFViewerApplication.setTitleUsingUrl` method since some time now stores both the original URL (in `this.url`) as well as one without the hash (in `this.baseUrl`). The latter one is already used everywhere where it matters, so this change seem fine to me.
This patch thus restores the original behaviour for PDF attachments in the MOZCENTRAL-build, by once again allowing them to be opened *directly* in the browser without downloading. (The fallback added in PR 11845 is obviously kept, since it seems generally useful to have.)
Originally the `default_preferences.json` file was checked into the repository, and we thus needed to load it in non-PRODUCTION mode (which was originally done asynchronously using `XMLHttpRequest`). Over the years a lot has changed and the `default_preferences.json` file is now built, by the `gulp default_preferences` task, from the `web/app_options.js` file. Hence it's no longer necessary, in non-PRODUCTION mode, to use SystemJS here since we can simply use a standard `import` statement instead.
Note how e.g. `web/app.js` already imports from `web/app_options.js` in the same exact way that `web/preferences.js` now does, hence this patch will *not* result in any significant changes in the built/bundled viewer file.
This is another (small) part in trying to reduce usage of SystemJS, with the goal of hopefully getting rid of it completely. (I've started working on this, and doing so has identified a number of problem areas; this patch addresses one of them.)
This replaces some additional `require`/`exports` usage with standard `import`/`export` statements instead.
Hence another, small, part in the effort to reduce the reliance on SystemJS-specific functionality in the development viewer.
Given that the `PDFLinkService.setHash` method itself if completely synchronous, moving the handling of "nameddest" to occur last *shouldn't* cause any problems (famous last words).
This way the destination will still override any previous parameter, such as e.g. the "page", as expected. Furthermore, given that the `PDFLinkService.navigateTo` method is asynchronous that should provide additional guarantees that the "nameddest" parameter is always respected.
As sort-of expected, this fairly innocent looking change also required some tweaks in the `PDFHistory` to prevent dummy history entires upon document load (only an issue when both "page" *and* "nameddest" parameters are provided in the hash).
This rule complements the existing `accessor-pairs` nicely, and ensures that a getter/setter pair is always consistently ordered.
Please find additional details about this rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/grouped-accessor-pairs
By preserving the exception type, more fine-grained error handling can be performed via client-side logic (e.g. redirect to a search page if a PDF is not found, or to a ticket system in case of invalid PDF files).
The original exception is now re-thrown.
Fixes#11658
This is a simple work-around for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1632644 which was caused by platform changes in Firefox. Ideally the Firefox bug should still be fixed, but these PDF.js changes seem generally useful to prevent both current and future issues here.
There's no particular reason for using the PDF.js helper function `createObjectURL` here, given that the relevant code-path is already guarded by multiple "disableCreateObjectURL" option checks.
Given that `URL.createObjectURL` is assumed to always be available in MOZCENTRAL builds, note the existing usage in the file, there's no reason to depend on the PDF.js helper function `createObjectURL` at all here.
Furthermore this patch also changes `DownloadManager.downloadData` to actually revoke the `blobUrl` after downloading has completed, which is similar to the existing code in `DownloadManager.download`.
This is necessary in order to support cases where the default viewer is embedded in a *dynamically* created <iframe> element.
In order to also support a use-case where there's *multiple* <iframe> elements (containing default viewers) on the same page, the "webviewerloaded" event now includes a `source` detail parameter such that it's possible to associate an event with the relevant DOM element.
Somewhat surprisingly, despite the GENERIC viewer implementing "openfile" support, there's never been a keyboard shortcut available. Similar to the previous patch, this utilizes the `EventBus` for consistency with the `Toolbar`/`SecondaryToolbar` buttons.
*Please note:* This patch should NOT be construed as carte blanche to simply convert all of the code in `webViewerKeyDown`, or elsewhere, to make use of the `EventBus` instead of direct function calls.
Any further changes, along the lines in this patch, would need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if they are actually wanted, given that many/most existing cases in `webViewerKeyDown` should already be *indirectly* observable through the `EventBus` instance.
This improves the consistency of the "download" handling, in the default viewer, such that the `Toolbar`/`SecondaryToolbar` buttons *and* the keyboard shortcut are now handled in the same way (using the `EventBus`).
Given that the "download" keyboard shortcut handling is limited to GENERIC/CHROME builds and that the issue does raise a valid point about only being able to observe *some* downloads, these changes seem acceptable in this particular case.
Finally the pre-processor condition is adjusted to *explicitly*, rather than implicitly, list the affected build targets.
*Please note:* This patch should NOT be construed as carte blanche to simply convert all of the code in `webViewerKeyDown`, or elsewhere, to make use of the `EventBus` instead of direct function calls.
Any further changes, along the lines in this patch, would need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if they are actually wanted, given that many/most existing cases in `webViewerKeyDown` should already be *indirectly* observable through the `EventBus` instance.
These two `AppOptions` are only defined in GENERIC builds, hence it's completely unnecessary to check them in the extension builds (e.g. MOZCENTRAL and CHROME).
Also, simply let the "printResolution" option be defined in all builds since it's being accessed in `web/firefox_print_service.js` as well.
*Please note:* These changes were done automatically, using the `gulp lint --fix` command.
This rule is already enabled in mozilla-central, see https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/567b68b8ff4b6d607ba34a6f1926873d21a7b4d7/tools/lint/eslint/eslint-plugin-mozilla/lib/configs/recommended.js#103-104
The main advantage, besides improved consistency, of this rule is that it reduces the size of the code (by 3 bytes for each case). In the PDF.js code-base there's close to 8000 instances being fixed by the `dot-notation` ESLint rule, which end up reducing the size of even the *built* files significantly; the total size of the `gulp mozcentral` build target changes from `3 247 456` to `3 224 278` bytes, which is a *reduction* of `23 178` bytes (or ~0.7%) for a completely mechanical change.
A large number of these changes affect the (large) lookup tables used on the worker-thread, but given that they are still initialized lazily I don't *think* that the new formatting this patch introduces should undo any of the improvements from PR 6915.

What the user did:
Open the PDF Viewer in Chrome;
Mouse click into the “Page number” input field;
What they saw:
A pop-up list with seemingly random numbers
What you were expecting to see:
Nothing
What they see is the Chrome “Autofill” feature at work – that is suggesting values that you have previously entered into number fields in forms, as possible values you may want to enter into this field. The list has nothing to do with the PDF currently open but the user does not know this.
Please note that these changes were done automatically, using `gulp lint --fix`.
Given that the major version number was increased, there's a fair number of (primarily whitespace) changes; please see https://prettier.io/blog/2020/03/21/2.0.0.html
In order to reduce the size of these changes somewhat, this patch maintains the old "arrowParens" style for now (once mozilla-central updates Prettier we can simply choose the same formatting, assuming it will differ here).
*Please note:* Most of the necessary API work was done in PR 10033, and the only remaining thing to do here was to implement it in the viewer.
The new preference should thus allow e.g. enterprise users to disable copying in the viewer, for PDF documents whose permissions specify that.
In order to simplify things the "copy"-permission was implemented using CSS, as suggested in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792816#c55, which should hopefully suffice.[1]
The advantage of this approach, as opposed to e.g. disabling the `textLayer` completely, is first of all that it ensures that searching still works correctly even in copy-protected documents. Secondly this also greatly simplifies the overall implementation, since it doesn't require a lot of code for something that's disabled by default.
---
[1] As the discussion in the bug shows, this kind of copy-protection is not very strong and is also generally easy to remove/circumvent in various ways. Hence a simple solution, targeting "regular"-users rather than "power"-users is hopefully deemed acceptable here.
For years now, the `Font.exportData` method has (because of its previous implementation) been exporting many properties despite them being completely unused on the main-thread and/or in the API.
This is unfortunate, since among those properties there's a number of potentially very large data-structures, containing e.g. Arrays and Objects, which thus have to be first structured cloned and then stored on the main-thread.
With the changes in this patch, we'll thus by default save memory for *every* `Font` instance created (there can be a lot in longer documents). The memory savings obviously depends a lot on the actual font data, but some approximate figures are: For non-embedded fonts it can save a couple of kilobytes, for simple embedded fonts a handful of kilobytes, and for composite fonts the size of this auxiliary can even be larger than the actual font program itself.
All-in-all, there's no good reason to keep exporting these properties by default when they're unused. However, since we cannot be sure that every property is unused in custom implementations of the PDF.js library, this patch adds a new `getDocument` option (named `fontExtraProperties`) that still allows access to the following properties:
- "cMap": An internal data structure, only used with composite fonts and never really intended to be exposed on the main-thread and/or in the API.
Note also that the `CMap`/`IdentityCMap` classes are a lot more complex than simple Objects, but only their "internal" properties survive the structured cloning used to send data to the main-thread. Given that CMaps can often be *very* large, not exporting them can also save a fair bit of memory.
- "defaultEncoding": An internal property used with simple fonts, and used when building the glyph mapping on the worker-thread. Considering how complex that topic is, and given that not all font types are handled identically, exposing this on the main-thread and/or in the API most likely isn't useful.
- "differences": An internal property used with simple fonts, and used when building the glyph mapping on the worker-thread. Considering how complex that topic is, and given that not all font types are handled identically, exposing this on the main-thread and/or in the API most likely isn't useful.
- "isSymbolicFont": An internal property, used during font parsing and building of the glyph mapping on the worker-thread.
- "seacMap": An internal map, only potentially used with *some* Type1/CFF fonts and never intended to be exposed in the API. The existing `Font.{charToGlyph, charToGlyphs}` functionality already takes this data into account when handling text.
- "toFontChar": The glyph map, necessary for mapping characters to glyphs in the font, which is built upon the various encoding information contained in the font dictionary and/or font program. This is not directly used on the main-thread and/or in the API.
- "toUnicode": The unicode map, necessary for text-extraction to work correctly, which is built upon the ToUnicode/CMap information contained in the font dictionary, but not directly used on the main-thread and/or in the API.
- "vmetrics": An array of width data used with fonts which are composite *and* vertical, but not directly used on the main-thread and/or in the API.
- "widths": An array of width data used with most fonts, but not directly used on the main-thread and/or in the API.
- Use template strings when printing document/viewer information in `_initializeMetadata`, since the old format feels overly verbose.
Also, get the WebGL state from the `BaseViewer` instance[1] rather than the `AppOptions`. Since the `AppOptions` value could theoretically have been changed (by the user) after the viewer components were initialized, it seems much more useful to print the *actual* value that'll be used during rendering.
- Change `_initializePdfHistory` to actually do the "is embedded"-check first, in accordance with the comment and given that the "disableHistory" option usually shouldn't be set.
---
[1] Admittedly reaching into the `BaseViewer` instance and just grabbing the value perhaps isn't a great approach overall, but given that the WebGL-backend isn't even on by default this probably doesn't matter too much.
Over time, with more and more API-functionality added, the `PDFViewerApplication.load` method has become quite large and complex. In an attempt to improve the current situation somewhat, this patch moves the fetching and initialization of "auto print" out into its own (private) helper method instead.

Over time, with more and more API-functionality added, the `PDFViewerApplication.load` method has become quite large and complex. In an attempt to improve the current situation somewhat, this patch moves the fetching and initialization of "page labels" out into its own (private) helper method instead.
This avoids unnecessary duplication of many images, thus reducing the size of PDF.js image resources slightly.
Note that since the images should only be flipped horizontally, this required specifying the horizontal/vertical scaling separately for the hiDPI-images.
This functionality was only added to the default viewer for backwards compatibility and to support the various PDF viewer tests in mozilla-central, with the intention to eventually remove it completely.
While the different mozilla-central tests cannot be *easily* converted from DOM events, it's however possible to limit that functionality to only MOZCENTRAL builds *and* when tests are running.
Rather than depending of the re-dispatching of internal events to the DOM, the default viewer can instead be used in e.g. the following way:
```javascript
document.addEventListener("webviewerloaded", function() {
PDFViewerApplication.initializedPromise.then(function() {
// The viewer has now been initialized, and its properties can be accessed.
PDFViewerApplication.eventBus.on("pagerendered", function(event) {
console.log("Has rendered page number: " + event.pageNumber);
});
});
});
```
The correct/intended way of working with the "viewer components" is by providing an `EventBus` instance upon initialization, and the `getGlobalEventBus` was only added for backwards compatibility.
Note, for example, that using `getGlobalEventBus` doesn't really work at all well with a use-case where there's *multiple* `PDFViewer` instances on a one page, since it may then be difficult/impossible to tell which viewer a particular event originated from.
All of the "viewer components" examples have been previously updated, such that there's no longer any code/examples which relies on the now removed `getGlobalEventBus` functionality.
Given the way that "classes" were previously implemented in PDF.js, using regular functions and closures, there's a fair number of false positives when the `no-shadow` ESLint rule was enabled.
Note that while *some* of these `eslint-disable` statements can be removed if/when the relevant code is converted to proper `class`es, we'll probably never be able to get rid of all of them given our naming/coding conventions (however I don't really see this being a problem).
Given that none of the relevant options are marked as optional in the code/JSDocs, and that the `PDFDocumentProperties` class is specific to the default viewer (and not exposed as part of the viewer components), there's no good reason as far as I can tell for these checks.
The `BaseViewer.setDocument` method in particular is necessary for rendering to start when the viewer loads, hence you obviously want that to happen as soon as possible and without any unnecessary delays.
Unfortunately *some* API calls need to be done before that, note existing comments, however the `ViewHistory` initialization (and subsequent fetching of data) in particular can be moved slightly without any adverse effects.
As part of testing I've used logging with `performance.now()` inserted in various parts of this code, and there's *obviously* no discernible changes between `master` and this patch for e.g. rendering starting in the viewer.
*Note:* The vast majority of this patch is simple indentation changes, which were forced by Prettier (and done automatically with `gulp lint --fix`).
- Ensure that `database.files` actually contains an Array, rather than some arbitrary data.
- Only try to lookup an existing entry when the `database` existed on load, since there's obviously nothing to find when `database.files = []` was set (this case is very common in the MOZCENTRAL build since `sessionStorage` is being used there).
This property has never been documented and/or *intentionally* exposed through the API, instead the `PDFPageProxy.pageNumber` property is the documented/intended API to use here.
Hence pageIndex is changed to a "private" property on `PDFPageProxy` instances, and internal API functionality is also updated to *consistently* use `this._pageIndex` rather than a mix of formats.
The viewer doesn't currently support executing of any JavaScript, as found in some PDF documents, for security reasons. (Although there's a small hack to at least provide basic support for automatic printing on document load, without running scripts.)
However, in the event that the browser doesn't support printing we're not run *any* of this code. In particular that means that we're also not displaying the "Warning: JavaScript is not supported" message, which seems strange since JavaScript found in a PDF document can really contain *anything* (and not only printing instructions).
It thus seem reasonable, as far as I'm concerned, to always display the JavaScript-warning *even* if printing happens to be unsupported.
*This is part of a series of patches that will try to split PR 11566 into smaller chunks, to make reviewing more feasible.*
Once all the code has been fixed, we'll be able to eventually enable the ESLint `no-shadow` rule; see https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-shadow
While Firefox originally used transition effects for browser UI toolbar buttons, that was removed years ago in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1393057
Since the PDF.js viewer toolbar transitions were likely based on the Firefox ones, it seems reasonable that these transition effects are removed from PDF.js as well. Besides removing a bunch of CSS, this also makes the toolbar feel ever so slightly more "snappy" without these delays on mouse interaction.
(In order to make it more feasible to modernize/improve the viewer UI, trying to clean-up/simplify existing rules iteratively seems like the most reasonble way to make any progress here w.r.t. being able to test/review things.)
For reasons that I don't even pretend to understand, the `textLayerFactory` property is determined for *every single* page in the PDF document.
Given that the `TextLayerMode` should be consistent for *all* pages in a document, we obviously could/should define `textLayerFactory` just once instead.
There's a couple of issues with this functionality:
- The respective `PromiseCapability` instances are not being reset, in `BaseViewer._resetView`, when the document is closed which is inconsistent with all other state.
- While the default viewer depends on these promises, and they thus ought to be considered part of e.g. the `PDFViewer` API-surface, they're not really defined in a particularily user-visible way (being that they're attached to the `BaseViewer` instance *inline* in `BaseViewer.setDocument`).
- There's some internal `BaseViewer` state, e.g. `BaseViewer._pageViewsReady`, which is tracked manually and could instead be tracked indirectly via the relevant `PromiseCapability`, thus reducing the need to track state *twice* since that's always best to avoid.
*Please note:* In the existing implementation, these promises are not defined *until* the `BaseViewer.setDocument` method has been called.
While it would've been simple to lift that restriction in this patch, I'm purposely choosing *not* to do so since this ensures that any Promise handlers added inside of `BaseViewer.setDocument` are always invoked *before* any external ones (and keeping that behaviour seems generally reasonable).
This patch deprecates the existing `getOpenActionDestination` API method, in favor of a better and more general `getOpenAction` method instead. (For now JavaScript actions, related to printing, are still handled as before.)
By clearly separating "regular" Print actions from the JavaScript handling, it's thus possible to get rid of the somewhat annoying and strictly incorrect warning when the viewer loads.
It occured to me that similar to the `getGlobalEventBus` function, it's probably a good idea to *also* notify users of the fact that `eventBusDispatchToDOM` is now deprecated.
Rather than depending of the re-dispatching of internal events to the DOM, the default viewer can instead be used in e.g. the following way:
```javascript
document.addEventListener("webviewerloaded", function() {
PDFViewerApplication.initializedPromise.then(function() {
// The viewer has now been initialized, and its properties can be accessed.
PDFViewerApplication.eventBus.on("pagerendered", function(event) {
console.log("Has rendered page number: " + event.pageNumber);
});
});
});
```
I overlooked this in PR 11631; sorry about that!
Also, ensure that `EventBus` instances *always* track "external" events using a boolean regardless of the actual option value.
This changes the dropdown icon from being set using the `background` CSS property, to being set with `::after` which is *similar* to all the other toolbar button icons (which use `::before`).
Also tweaks the dropdown `background-color` on `:hover` slightly, since the other changes made it too light.
Since the goal has always been, essentially since the `EventBus` abstraction was added, to remove all dispatching of DOM events[1] from the viewer components this patch tries to address one thing that came up when updating the examples:
The DOM events are always dispatched last, and it's thus guaranteed that all internal event listeners have been invoked first.
However, there's no such guarantees with the general `EventBus` functionality and the order in which event listeners are invoked is *not* specified. With the promotion of the `EventBus` in the examples, over DOM events, it seems like a good idea to at least *try* to keep this ordering invariant[2] intact.
Obviously this won't prevent anyone from manually calling the new *internal* viewer component methods on the `EventBus`, but hopefully that won't be too common since any existing third-party code would obviously use the `on`/`off` methods and that all of the examples shows the *correct* usage (which should be similarily documented on the "Third party viewer usage" Wiki-page).
---
[1] Looking at the various Firefox-tests, I'm not sure that it'll be possible to (easily) re-write all of them to not rely on DOM events (since getting access to `PDFViewerApplication` might be generally difficult/messy depending on scopes).
In any case, even if technically feasible, it would most likely add *a lot* of complication that may not be desireable in the various Firefox-tests. All-in-all, I'd be fine with keeping the DOM events only for the `MOZCENTRAL` target and gated on `Cu.isInAutomation` (or similar) rather than a preference.
[2] I wouldn't expect any *real* bugs in a custom implementation, simply based on event ordering, but it nonetheless seem like a good idea if any "external" events are still handled last.
To avoid outright breaking third-party usages of the "viewer components" the `getGlobalEventBus` functionality is left intact, but a deprecation message is printed if the function is invoked.
The various examples are updated to *explicitly* initialize an `EventBus` instance, and provide that when initializing the relevant viewer components.
This complements the existing `PDFViewerApplication.initialized` boolean property, and may be helpful for custom implementations of the default viewer. This will thus provide users of the default viewer an alternative to setting the preference to dispatch events to the DOM (and listen for the "localized" event), since they can instead use:
```javascript
document.addEventListener("webviewerloaded", function() {
PDFViewerApplication.initializedPromise.then(function() {
// The viewer has now been initialized.
})
});
```
Note that in order to avoid manually tracking the initialization state *twice*, this implementation purposely uses the `PromiseCapability` functionality to handle both `PDFViewerApplication.initialized` and `PDFViewerApplication.initializedPromise` internally.
This patch contains some *much* needed clean-up of, and improvements to, this old code thus addressing a number of issues:
- Set more reasonable *default* values for the widths, in `web/viewer.css`, since the current ones are actually too small even for the (default) `en-US` locale.
This obviously result in a slightly larger zoom dropdown width for many locales, but the more consistent UI does look good to me.
- Stop setting the `min-width`/`max-width` and just use `width` instead.
- Set an explicit `height` of the zoom dropdown, in an attempt to get Google Chrome to display it with the same height as the toolbar buttons.
- Remove additional `Element.setAttribute("style", ...)` usage.
- Actually check *all* of the predefined l10n strings, since the old implementation (implicitly) assumed that the currently selected one was the longest (note e.g. the `ja-JP` locale where one string is considerably longer than the rest).
- Stop invalidating the DOM multiple times when doing the measurements. This was achieved by using a temporary in-memory `canvas`, and we now only need to query the DOM once in order to get the current font properties of the zoom dropdown.
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).
Having thought *briefly* about using `css-vars-ponyfill`, I'm no longer convinced that it'd be a good idea. The reason is that if we actually want to properly support CSS variables, then that functionality should be available in *all* of our CSS files.
Note in particular the `pdf_viewer.css` file that's built as part of the `COMPONENTS` target, in which case I really cannot see how a rewrite-at-the-client solution would ever be guaranteed to always work correctly and without accidentally touching other CSS in the surrounding application.
All-in-all, simply re-writing the CSS variables at build-time seems much easier and is thus the approach taken in this patch; courtesy of https://github.com/MadLittleMods/postcss-css-variables
By using its `preserve` option, the built files will thus include *both* a fallback and a modern `var(...)` format[1]. As a proof-of-concept this patch removes a couple of manually added fallback values, and converts an additional sidebar related property to use a CSS variable.

Since this rule is now enforced in the entire `/web` folder, there's no good reason for it to remain disabled in this file. Most likely, it's added to reduce the number of linting errors when we started enforcing block-scoped variables.
There's no particular reason for using the PDF.js helper function `createObjectURL`[1] in the debugger, instead of the native `URL.createObjectURL` directly, for a couple of reasons:
- The relevant code-path only applies to fonts loaded with the Font Loading API, and this isn't supported in IE anyway.
- The debugger can, since quite some time, not even be loaded in IE any more.
- General support for IE is now limited, and there's no guaratee that everything actually works.

[1] It provides a fallback for browsers with broken `Blob` support, which as usual means Internet Explorer :-P
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).
The debugging hash parameters[1] are intended to facilitate access to various tools/settings in PRODUCTION builds, protected by the `pdfBugEnabled` preference.
At this point, the remaining debugging hash parameters are mainly intended to allow access to the `PDFBug` tools and/or to quickly toggle certain larger features.
The "useOnlyCssZoom" functionality doesn't really seem to fit in with the rest of these hash parameters, since:
- This is, comparatively speaking, a minor viewer-specific feature.
- The zooming implementation will (almost) always fallback to CSS-only zooming, for any document, once the canvases becomes large enough. Hence, the majority of the CSS zooming feature can still be tested *directly* in any build of the viewer.
- After the initial implementation, years ago, the CSS-only zooming code in question hasn't changed much (or even at all), i.e. it doesn't seem like an active development target.[2]
- If the "useOnlyCssZoom" functionality was added today, it's unlikely that a hash parameter would've been added.
- Last, but not least, there's also a `useOnlyCssZoom` preference hence toggling this functionality shouldn't be too difficult (e.g. if someone needs to hack on it).
All in all, I'm thus suggesting that we remove the "useOnlyCssZoom" hash parameter.
---
[1] Originally these hash parameters could be used directly in any build, which was bad since it would allow any link to potentially disable functionality and/or reduce performance.
[2] If it had seen active development over the years, I'd be *much* more inclined to keep the hash parameter.
For people running e.g. Firefox with the `pdfBugEnabled` preference set, to allow quick access to debugging tools, this method will obviously run for every opened PDF file. However, in most cases the URL hash is empty and we can thus skip most of the parsing and simply return early instead.
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.
While only the `MOZCENTRAL` builds will actually do anything meaningful with the telemetry data, none of the code in question actually runs *at all* in e.g. development mode.[1]
This seems bad since it essentially means that this code is completely untested, despite being quite important for the built-in Firefox PDF viewer, and this thus ought to be fixed.
In this case, the explanation for the current state of the code should be "for historical reasons". Before the viewer was split into the current components and before the pre-processor was improved, back when all code resided in the `web/viewer.js` file, the telemetry reporting was done with *direct* `FirefoxCom` calls. However, with the dummy `DefaultExternalServices.reportTelemetry` method there's nothing actually preventing attempting to report telemetry in any type of build.
NOTE: By running this code in GENERIC builds as well, in addition to just locally, the *viewer* part of telemetry reporting becomes tested e.g. in preview builds too which should help with reviewing.
---
[1] When fixing bug 1606566, I had to edit the relevant `PDFJSDev` checks to be able to actually test the changes locally.
With https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=844349 now being fixed in Firefox, the textLayer will now actually stay hidden as intended regardless of the browser settings.
Hence it should no longer be necessary to display the fallback bar, nor print a warning in the console, for documents which contains a textLayer.
Besides removing the `supportsDocumentColors` methods in the default viewer, we can also remove a now unused l10n string.
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
As described in the issue, having a DOM element with `id=page2` (or any other number) will automatically cause that element to become linkable through the URL hash. That's currently leading to some confusing and outright wrong behaviour, since it obviously only works for pages that have been loaded and rendered.
For PDF documents the only officially supported way to reference a particular page through the URL hash is using the `#page=2` format, which also works for all pages regardless if they're loaded or not.
As far as I can tell there's nothing in the PDF.js default viewer that actually depends on the page/thumbnail `id` at this point in time, hence why I believe that this removal ought to be safe.
Just as a pre-caution this patch adds an `aria-label` to the page canvas, similar to the thumbnail canvas/image, to at least keep this information in the DOM.
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`.
When working on PR 11463 I couldn't help thinking that the `Array.prototype.some` callback function, used when determining the generator, was somewhat difficult to read with its partly unused and strangely named parameters.
This is not only useful to have one format for consistency, but also to
be able to quickly search for colors for e.g., finding duplicates or
when tweaking the CSS for custom deployments.
This covers the handful of cases that the `--fix` command couldn't deal with, and the changes aren't just fixing the linting errors but attempt to slightly improve the relevant code.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/prefer-const
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).
Rather than having a copy of this regular expression in the `test/unit/api_spec.js` file, with a comment about keeping it up-to-date with the code in the viewer (note the incorrect file reference as well), we can just import it instead to simplify all of this.
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.)
Apparently Ghostscript can, in some cases, generate/include `Metadata` with incorrectly encoded characters.[1] This results in the viewer title looking wrong, which we thus attempt to avoid by falling back to the `Info` entry instead.
*Please note:* Obviously it would be better if this was fixed in the `Metadata` parser instead, rather than using a viewer work-around, but I'm just not sure how or even *if* that could actually be done given that the `Metadata` stream contains no trace of the *original* character.
Fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1605526
---
[1] The problematic characters are from the Specials Unicode block, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specials_(Unicode_block)
With these changes we'll always set the `pdfTitle` to the `Info` dictionary entry *first* (assuming it exists and isn't empty), before attempting to override it with the `Metadata` stream entry (assuming it exists, is non-empty *and* valid).
There should be no functional changes with this patch, but it will simplify the following patch somewhat.
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.
Looking at the `parseCurrentHash` function again it's now difficult for me to understand *what* I was thinking, since having a helper function that needs to be manually passed a `linkService` reference just looks weird.
This patch addresses a couple of smaller issues with the `PDFHistory` class:
- Most, if not all, other viewer components can be reset in one way or another, and there's no good reason for the `PDFHistory` implementation to be different here.
- Currently it's (technically) possible to keep adding entries to the browser history, via the `PDFHistory` instance, even after the document has been closed. That obviously makes no sense, and is caused by the lack of a `reset` method.
- The internal `this._isPagesLoaded` property was never actually reset, which would lead to it being temporarily wrong when a new document was opened in the default viewer.
The `viewer` option was *only* used for checking that a document is loaded in `PDFPresentationMode.request`, however that's just as easy to do by simply utilizing `BaseViewer.pagesCount` instead and this way we can also avoid the DOM lookup.
This was a blatant oversight in PR 10217, since there's obviously no `this.pageNumber` property anywhere in the `BaseViewer`. Luckily this shouldn't have caused any bugs, since the only call-site is also validating the `pageNumber` (but correctly that time).
*This patch is simple enough that I almost feel like I'm overlooking some trivial reason why this would be a bad idea.*
Note how in `{BaseViewer, PDFThumbnailViewer}.setDocument` we're always getting the *first* `pdfPage` in order to initialize all pages/thumbnails.
However, once that's done the first `pdfPage` is simply ignored and rendering of the first page thus requires calling `PDFDocumentProxy.getPage` yet again. (And in the `BaseViewer` case, it's even done once more after `onePageRenderedCapability` is resolved.)
All in all, I cannot see why we cannot just immediately set the first `pdfPage` and thus avoid an early round-trip to the API in the `_ensurePdfPageLoaded` method before rendering can begin.
This code was originally added to support IE10 (and below), however with those browsers *explicitly* unsupported since PDF.js version `2.0` this code is now dead.
Obviously the `_pagesRequests` functionality is *mainly* used when `disableAutoFetch` is set, but it will also be used during ranged/streamed loading of documents.
However, the `_pagesRequests` property is currently an Array which seems a bit strange:
- Arrays are zero-indexed, but the first element will never actually be set in the code.
- The `_pagesRequests` Array is never cleared, unless a new document is loaded, and once the `PDFDocumentProxy.getPage` call has resolved/rejected the element is just replaced by `null`.
- Unless the document is browsed *in order* the resulting `_pagesRequests` Array can also be arbitrarily sparse.
All in all, I don't believe that an Array is an appropriate data structure to use for this purpose.
This patch simply restores the behaviour that existed prior to PR 7697, since I cannot imagine that that was changed other than by pure accident.
As mentioned by a comment in `BaseViewer.setDocument`: "Printing is semi-broken with auto fetch disabled.", and note that since triggering of printing is a synchronous operation there's generally no easy way to load the missing data.
https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/7697/files#diff-529d1853ee1bba753a0fcb40ea778723L1114-L1118
Considering just how small/simple this code is, it doesn't seem necessary to have a separate method for it (even more so when there's only one call-site).
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.
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.
For *very* long/large documents fetching all pages on load may cause quite bad performance, both memory and CPU wise. In order to at least slightly alleviate this, we can let the viewer treat these kind of documents[1] as if `disableAutoFetch` were set.
---
[1] One example of a really bad case is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1588435, which this patch should at least help somewhat. In general, for these cases, we'd probably need to implement switching between `PDFViewer`/`PDFSinglePageViewer` (as already tracked on GitHub) and use the latter for these kind of long documents.
The issue has been open for years now, and has even been marked with `5-good-beginner-bug` for *months*, without any movement.
Considering just how simple the suggested solution is, I'm submitting this patch just to close out a long-standing issue.
Obviously userAgent checks aren't that great, since it's very easy to spoof, but it probably doesn't hurt to attempt to extend this (since it's limited to `GENERIC` builds).
Besides, anyone using the default viewer can always set the `maxCanvasPixels` option to a value of their choosing.
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.
I've absolutely no idea why I wrote the code that way originally, since the nested `if`s are not really helping readability one bit.
Hence this patch which changes things to use early `return`s instead, to help readability.
Rather than manually clamping the `width` here, we can just `export` an already existing helper function from `ui_utils.js` instead.
(Hopefully it will eventually be possible to replace this helper function with a native `Math.clamp` function, given that there exists a "Stage 1 Proposal" for adding such a thing to the ECMAScript specification.)
Besides avoiding errors during loading, this also ensures that the document will be correctly scrolled/zoomed into view once the viewer becomes visible.
This "new" behaviour was always intended, see PR 2613, however various re-factoring over the years seem to have broken this (and I'm probably at least somewhat responsible for that).
By transfering, rather than copying, `ArrayBuffer`s between the main- and worker-threads, you can avoid unnecessary allocations by only having *one* copy of the same data.
Hence manually setting `postMessageTransfers: false`, when calling `getDocument`, is a performance footgun[1] which will do nothing but waste memory.
Given that every reasonably modern browser supports `postMessage` transfers[2], I really don't see why it should be possible to force-disable this functionality.
Looking at the browser support, for `postMessage` transfers[2], it's highly unlikely that PDF.js is even usable in browsers without it. However, the feature testing of `postMessage` transfers is kept for the time being just to err on the safe side.
---
[1] This is somewhat similar to the, now removed, `disableWorker` parameter which also provided API users a much too simple way of reducing performance.
[2] See e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MessagePort/postMessage#Browser_compatibility and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Transferable#Browser_compatibility
This was added in PR 4470, but doesn't appear to have been used since.
While it's certainly easy to understand how this was helpful during development of that PR, actually providing this hash parameter isn't going to work anymore given that the original CMap files were also removed from the repository.
I suppose that the hash parameter *could* be useful if you'd attempt to update the BCMap files, however that hasn't been attempted even once in over *five* years time. Furthermore, at this point using the `AppOptions` directly in that situation should also work fine.
All in all, this seems like a piece of old and unused code which we can simply remove now.
By using the same internal formatting here as in the `Ref.toString` method, in `src/core/primitives.js`, all cache-keys will become at least two bytes shorter (and most three bytes shorter).
Obviously this won't have a huge effect on memory since there's only one cache entry per page, but it nonetheless seems wasteful to use longer keys than strictly required.
Firefox telemetry supports using string labels now. Convert our integers
that we used for categories to just use strings.
The upstream work will happen in:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1566882
Currently the indicator may remain visible even after the document has been closed, which seems weird given that no page is either visible nor rendering :-)
Ensure that setting the `zoomDisabledTimeout` isn't skipped, regardless of the supported zoom keys, when handling mouse wheel events (PR 7097 follow-up)
*Possible follow-up:* It probably wouldn't hurt to try and shorten the `supportedMouseWheelZoomModifierKeys` name a bit, but I'm not attempting that here since it'd also require updating `PdfStreamConverter.jsm` in mozilla-central in order to be consistent.
Since calling `getDocument` with a `PDFDataRangeTransport` argument will always unconditionally override a manually provided `length` argument, see a1a667809f/src/display/api.js (L390-L394), this patch should thus be safe.
This functionality is very old, and pre-dates e.g. the introduction of the `EventBus` by a number of years. Rather than attaching two callback functions to every single `PDFPageView` instance, it's thus now possible to utilize the `EventBus` such that you only need a grand total of two listeners to achieve the same result.
For the `onAfterDraw` callback the replacement is particularly simple, given that a 'pagerendered' event is already being dispatched in the appropriate spot. An added benefit here is the ability to remove the event listener, since we only ever care about *one* (arbitrary) page being rendered for the `BaseViewer.onePageRendered` promise.
For the `onBeforeDraw` callback, a new 'pagerender' event was thus added to replace the callback.
Given that this special-case only matters for the Firefox PDF viewer, it's probably better to just move it into `firefoxcom.js` instead to reduce unnecessary confusion.
Similar to the `zoomReset` method we need to ensure that this code won't run for zoom events originating within the browser UI itself, since checks in e.g. the `keydown` event handler won't help in that case.
When searching occurs for the first time in a document, the `textContent` of all pages will be fetched from the API. If there's a pending search operation when the document loads that will thus lead to a lot of `getTextContent` calls very early on, which may unnecessarily delay rendering of the first page. Generally, in the viewer, a number of non-essential API calls[1] will be deferred until the first page has been rendered, and there's no good reason as far as I can tell to handle searching differently.
---
[1] Such as e.g. `getOutline` and `getAttachments`.
Unless the `PDFLinkService` instance contains all of the expected methods, a lot of things will break in various places in the default viewer. Hence there's not much value in having this check, and outright falling seems more appropriate.
Finally, this also makes the return value explicit in this case, since that's consistent with the rest of the `PDFFindController._shouldDirtyMatch` method.
As have already been stated multiple times, simply increasing the printing resolution may have undesirable effects on both memory usage *and* general performance. Hence why PR 10854 did *not* add a preference, and only exposed AppOption by default in `GENERIC` builds for now.
However, considering how differently printing works in the built-in Firefox version (with `mozPrintCallback`) compared to the general default viewer, any testing done in the latter case might not be completely relevant to the first (and most important) case of the Firefox PDF Viewer.
Note that considering the implementation of `AppOptions.get`, this patch will be safe and should allow experimenting with `printResolution` in all builds of the default viewer[1]. By not, however, having `printResolution` appear in AppOptions for either the `MOZCENTRAL` or `CHROMIUM` build targets, there should be no indication of official support for now.
Furthermore, it shouldn't be a preference at this point in time (or even at all), since that makes it too easy for users to change it permanently[2] and possible "break" printing.
---
[1] By running `PDFViewerApplicationOptions.get('printResolution', /* value here */);` in the console after the viewer loads.
[2] I've seen Firefox bugs, filed in Bugzilla, where users modified e.g. preferences manually in `about:config` and then some time later (maybe months) wondered why something was suddenly broken. In those cases, trying to work out that a preference change was the culprit can take time/effort.
This includes the information in the core and display layers. The
date parsing logic from the document properties is rewritten according
to the specification and now includes unit tests.
Moreover, missing unit tests for the color of a popup annotation have
been added.
Finally the styling of the popup is changed slightly to make the text a
bit smaller (it's currently quite large in comparison to other viewers)
and to make the drop shadow a bit more subtle. The former is done to be
able to easily include the modification date in the popup similar to how
other viewers do this.
The file `test/pdfs/annotation-caret-ink.pdf` is already available in
the repository as a reference test for this since I supplied it for
another patch that implemented ink annotations.
With PR 10675 having fixed the completely broken `disableRange=true` setting in the Firefox version of PDF.js, I couldn't help but noticing that loading progress is never reported properly in that case.
Currently loading progress is only reported for the `rangeProgress` chrome-event, which obviously isn't dispatched with `disableRange=true` set. However, the `progressiveRead` chrome-event includes loading progress as well, but this information isn't being used in any way.
Furthermore, the `PDFDataRangeTransport.onDataProgress` method wasn't able to handle "complete" loading information, and neither was `PDFDataTransportStream._onProgress` since that method would only ever attempt to report it through a RangeReader (which won't exist when `disableRange=true` is set).
Currently if trying to set `disableRange=true` in the built-in PDF Viewer in Firefox, either through `about:config` or via the URL hash, the PDF document will never load. It appears that this has been broken for a couple of years, without anyone noticing.
Obviously it's not a good idea to set `disableRange=true`, however it seems that this bug affects the PDF Viewer in Firefox even with default settings:
- In the case where `initialData` already contains the *entire* file, we're forced to dispatch a range request to re-fetch already available data just so that file loading may complete.
- (In the case where the data arrives, via streaming, before being specifically requested through `requestDataRange`, we're also forced to re-fetch data unnecessarily.) *This part was removed, to reduce the scope/risk of the patch somewhat.*
In the cases outlined above, we're having to re-fetch already available data thus potentially delaying loading/rendering of PDF files in Firefox (and wasting resources in the process).
This lays the necessary foundation for handling zoom events originating within the browser itself, rather than in the viewer. Please note that this will also require a follow-up patch to `mozilla-central`, such that the viewer is actually notified when zooming occurs.
The generated `default_preferences.json` file is necessary when initializing the Firefox preferences, which only supports certain types, hence this patch adds additional validation to help prevent run-time errors in Firefox.
Given that these changes add a code-path to `AppOptions.getAll` which could throw, the `OptionKind.PREFERENCE` branch is also modified to require *exact* matching to prevent (future) errors in the viewer.
Finally the conditionally defined `defaultOptions` will no longer (potentially) be considered during the `gulp default_preferences` task, to make it more difficult for them to be accidentally included.
Currently these methods are only used from the respective `reset` methods, and from `{BaseViewer, PDFThumbnailViewer}._cancelRendering` which only runs when the active document is closed.
This patch changes `{PDFPageView, PDFThumbnailView}.cancelRendering` to *only* cancel any pending rendering operations, and doesn't attempt to reset e.g. the `renderingState`, since that causes visual glitches (duplicated canvases in the viewer) when called directly.
Furthermore, unless you "know" what you're doing, the `{PDFPageView, PDFThumbnailView}.reset` methods are what *should* normally be used instead.
This implements the nice suggestion from https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/10099#discussion_r219698000, which I at the time didn't think would work.
I'll probably have to plead temporary insanity here, since it *should* have been totally obvious to me how this could be implemented. By simply not registering the event until the `textLayer` is actually rendered, removing the event on `cancel` works just fine.
This patch also removes the `pagecancelled` event, given that it's no longer used anywhere in the code-base and that its implemention was flawed since it wasn't guaranteed to be called in *every* situation where rendering was actually cancelled.
Currently any editing of the preferences require updates in *three* separate files, which isn't a great developer experience to say the least.
This has annoyed me sufficiently to write this patch, which moves the definition of all preferences into `AppOptions` and adds a new `gulp` task to generate the `default_preferences.json` file for the builds where it's needed.
There's a bunch of code, in the viewer, which for historical reasons use `switch` statements to add and remove CSS classes.
This code can be simplified, and unnecessary duplication avoided, by using `classList.toggle` instead.
This avoids having the initialization code "spread out", and will become even simpler once the `TODO` is addressed (which I'm planning on fixing as soon as possible).
This patch ignores the recently added `disableOpenActionDestination` preference, since the latest PDF.js version found on the "Chrome Web Store" doesn't include it.
The intention with preferences such as `sidebarViewOnLoad`/`scrollModeOnLoad`/`spreadModeOnLoad` were always that they should be able to *unconditionally* override their view history counterparts.
Due to the way that these preferences were initially implemented[1], trying to e.g. force the sidebar to remain hidden on load cannot be guaranteed[2]. The reason for this is the use of "enumeration values" containing zero, which in hindsight was an unfortunate choice on my part.
At this point it's also not as simple as just re-numbering the affected structures, since that would wreak havoc on existing (modified) preferences. The only reasonable solution that I was able to come up with was to change the *default* values of the preferences themselves, but not their actual values or the meaning thereof.
As part of the refactoring, the `disablePageMode` preference was combined with the *adjusted* `sidebarViewOnLoad` one, to hopefully reduce confusion by not tracking related state separately.
Additionally, the `showPreviousViewOnLoad` and `disableOpenActionDestination` preferences were combined into a *new* `viewOnLoad` enumeration preference, to further avoid tracking related state separately.
The new "private" method will return a boolean, indicating if the `sidebarviewchanged` event was dispatched, thus allowing some simplification of the `PDFSidebar.setInitialView` method.
When `firstVisibleElementInd === 0`, regardless of the number of views, there's no reason to attempt to backtrack at all since it's never possible to find an element before the *first* one anyway.
This piggybacks of the existing `cancel` functionality, to ensure that any pending operations are closed *and* that any temporary canvases are actually being removed.
Also simplifies `finishPaintTask` in `PDFPageView.draw` slightly, by converting it to an async function.
This attempts to provide more "default" methods in the base class, in order to reduce unnecessary duplication and to improve self-documentation of the `BaseViewer` class slightly.
The following changes are made (in no particular order):
- Have `BaseViewer` implement the `_scrollIntoView` method, and *extend* it as necessary in `PDFViewer`/`PDFSinglePageViewer`.
- Simply inline the `BaseViewer._resizeBuffer` method, in `BaseViewer.update`, since there's only one call-site at this point.
- Provide a default implementation of `_isScrollModeHorizontal` in `BaseViewer`, and have `PDFSinglePageViewer` override it.
- Provide a default implementation of `_getVisiblePages`, and have `PDFViewer` extend it and `PDFSinglePageViewer` override it.
Based on the discussion in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1521413, this patch simply removes the `ReadableStream` polyfill completely from MOZCENTRAL builds.
With this patch, the size of the `gulp mozcentral` build target is thus further reduced (building on PR 10470):
| | `build/mozcentral`
|-------|-------------------
|master | 3 339 666
|patch | 3 209 572
The `FontInspector` was completely broken by PR 10197, and trying to select a particular font (using the checkboxes) or clicking on a piece of text currently does nothing.
With https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1505122 landing in Firefox 65, the native `ReadableStream` implementation is now enabled by default in Firefox.
Obviously it would be nice to simply stop bundling the polyfill in MOZCENTRAL builds altogether, however given that it's still possible to disable[1] `ReadableStream` this is probably not a good idea just yet.
Nonetheless, now that native support is available, it seems unnecessary (and wasteful) to keep bundling the polyfill twice[2] in MOZCENTRAL builds. Hence this patch, which contains a suggest approach for packing the polyfill in a *separate* file which is then *only* loaded if/when needed.
With this patch, the size of the `gulp mozcentral` build target is thus reduced accordingly:
| | `build/mozcentral`
|-------|-------------------
|master | 3 461 089
|patch | 3 340 268
Besides the PDF.js files taking up less space in Firefox this way, the additional benefit is that there's (by default) less code that needs to be loaded and parsed when the PDF Viewer is used which also cannot hurt.
---
[1] In `about:config`, by toggling the `javascript.options.streams` preference.
[2] Once in the `build/pdf.js` file, and once in the `build/pdf.worker.js` file.
Since most of the important rendering code is already (almost) identical between `PDFViewer.update` and `PDFSinglePageViewer.update`, it's possible to further reduce duplication by moving the code into `BaseViewer.update` instead.
Apparently in IE 11 when `history.{pushState, replaceState}` is called, there's actually a difference between not providing the *third* argument vs providing it set implicitly to `undefined`. It appears that in IE 11 it's actually being stringified, rather than ignored, which seems completely wrong (obviously other browsers aren't affected, so no surprises there).
This is yet another reason why I think the feature itself was a really bad idea, since it now requires extra/duplicated code just to prevent weird/incorrect URL behaviour in crappy browsers.
Previously a couple of different attempts at fixing this problem has been rejected, given how *crucial* this code is for the correct function of the viewer, since no one has thus far provided any evidence that the problem actually affects the default viewer[1] nor an example using the viewer components directly (without another library on top).
The fact that none of the prior patches contained even a *simple* unit-test probably contributed to the unwillingness of a reviewer to sign off on the suggested changes.
However, it turns out that it's possible to create a reduced test-case, using the default viewer, that demonstrates the error[2]. Since this utilizes a hidden `<iframe>`, please note that this error will thus affect Firefox as well.
Note that while errors are thrown when the hidden `<iframe>` loads, the default viewer doesn't break completely since rendering does start working once the `<iframe>` becomes visible (although the errors do break the initial Toolbar state).
Before making any changes here, I carefully read through not just the immediately relevant code but also the rendering code in the viewer (given it's dependence on `getVisibleElements`). After concluding that the changes should be safe in general, the default viewer was tested without any issues found. (The above being much easier with significant prior experience of working with the viewer code.)
Finally the patch also adds new unit-tests, one of which explicitly triggers the relevant code-path and will thus fail with the current `master` branch.
This patch also makes `PDFViewerApplication` slightly more robust against errors during document opening, to ensure that viewer/document initialization always completes as expected.
Please keep in mind that even though this patch prevents an error in `getVisibleElements`, it's still not possible to set the initial position/zoom level/sidebar view etc. when the viewer is hidden since rendering and scrolling is completely dependent[3] on being able to actually access the DOM elements.

[3] This is an old, pre-exisiting, issue that's not relevant to this patch as such (and it's already being tracked elsewhere).
With modern JavaScript supporting block-scoped variables, it's no longer necessary to have large numbers of top-level variable definitions (especially when all variables are, implicitly, set to `undefined`).
Besides moving variable definintions, a number of them are also converted to `const` to help ensure that they cannot be *accidentally* modified in the code.
Finally, the `views.length` calculation is now cached *once* rather than being re-computed multiple times.
This is *really* the best that we can do here, since other proposed solutions would interfere with (and break) the painstakingly implemented browsing history that's present in the default viewer.
I'm still not convinced that this is a good idea in general, but this patch implements it in a way where it is possible to toggle[1] for users that wish to have this feature. In particular, there's a couple of reasons why I'm not finding this feature necessary/great:
- It's already possible to easily obtain the current hash, by simply clicking on the `viewBookmark` button at any time.
- Hash changes requires a bit of special handling[2], i.e. extra code, to prevent issues when the browser history is traversed (see `PDFHistory._popState`). Currently this is only necessary when the user has manually changed the hash, with this patch it will always be the case (assuming the feature is active).
- It's not always possible to change the URL when updating the browser history. For example: In the Firefox built-in viewer, the URL cannot be modified for local files (i.e. those using the `file://` protocol).
This leads to inconsistent behaviour, and may in some cases even result in errors being thrown and the history thus not updating, if the browser prevents changes to the URL during `pushState`/`replaceState` calls.
---
[1] Using the `historyUpdateUrl` viewer preference.
[2] This depends, to a great extent, on browsers always firing `popstate` events *before* `hashchange` events, which may or may not actually be guaranteed.
This should hopefully be sufficient to address issue 6847, and given the limited impact of the code changes I'm not completely sure if this would need to be controlled by a preference!?
Initially my intention was to try and provide some (slightly more detailed) implementation suggestions in the issue, but having looked briefly at doing that it would essentially have amounted to actually writing the code anyway. (Especially considering that the recent questions seemed to more-or-less ignore the information already provided in the first post.)
Finally, note that since `performance.navigation.type` is marked as deprecated, a slightly different approach was choosen instead.
If, as PR 10368 suggests, more parameters should be added to `getViewport` I think that it would be a mistake to not change the signature *first* to avoid needlessly unwieldy call-sites.
To not break any existing code and third-party use-cases, this is obviously implemented with a deprecation warning *and* with a working fallback[1] for the old method signature.
---
[1] This is limited to `GENERIC` builds, which should be sufficient.
Given that it's really not clear to me if this is actually desired functionality in the default viewer, and considering that it doesn't fit in *great* with the way that `PDFHistory` is initialized, this feature is currently off by default[1].
---
[1] It's controlled with the `disableOpenActionDestination` Preference/AppOption.
This patch re-factors, and extends, the already existing `zoomDisabledTimeout` used during mouse wheel zooming.
Unfortunately I haven't got the required hardware to actually test this patch, but there's a decent chance that it will fix, or at least reduce, the problems reported in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1503412.
Given that a larger number of pages may now be visible at once, and importantly that their layout may be non-vertical, one of the conditions should be tweaked to not accidentally miss cases where a page is still visible.
Please note: This patch is based on code-inspection, and the only ill effect occurring without it would be a couple of (near) duplicate history entries in some *rare* edge-cases.
With the removal of the global `PDFJS` object, in PDF.js version `2.0`, the viewer options are no longer as easily accessible as they previously were (and issues have been filed about this).
In particular, since the viewer files aren't necessarily loaded *immediately*, this means that `PDFViewerApplication`/`PDFViewerApplicationOptions` aren't necessarily available directly. By dispatching an event once all viewer files are loaded but *before* the viewer initialization has run, setting `AppOptions` during load (in custom implementations of the default viewer) should hopefully become a little bit easier[1].
---
[1] In hindsight, this should probably have been implemented when the global `PDFJS` object was removed...
Rather than having a (somewhat) randomly choosen list of Preferences which `AppOptions` are allowed to override, it makes much more sense to simply add an AppOption to allow custom implementations to ignore Preferences altogether (it's also inline with the AppOption that allows the `ViewHistory` to be bypassed on load).
Rather than closing [bug 1505824](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1505824) as WONTFIX (which is my preferred solution), given how *minor* this "problem" is, it's still possible to adjust the error messages a bit.
The main point here, which is relevant even if the changes in `BaseViewer` are ultimately rejected during review, is that we'll no longer attempt to call `BaseViewer.currentPageLabel` with an empty string from `webViewerPageNumberChanged` in `app.js`.
The other changes are:
- Stop printing an error in `BaseViewer._setCurrentPageNumber`, and have it return a boolean indicating if the page is within bounds.
- Have the `BaseViewer.{currentPageNumber, currentPageLabel}` setters print their own errors for invalid pages.
- Have the `BaseViewer.currentPageLabel` setter no longer depend, indirectly, on the `BaseViewer.currentPageNumber` setter.
- Improve a couple of other error messages.
When `highlightAll` is *not* set, there's only going to be a single match per page and unconditionally calling `PDFFindController.scrollMatchIntoView` doesn't really matter.
However, when `highlightAll` is set the current code may result in a large number of unnecessary `PDFFindController.scrollMatchIntoView` calls. Since `TextLayerBuilder._renderMatches` already checks if a particular match is the selected one, for highlighting purposes, it's simple enough to also skip scrolling completely for non-selected matches.
Only scroll search results into view as a result of an actual find operation, and not when the user scrolls/zooms/rotates the document (bug 1237076, issue 6746)
Most of the code in `PDFFindController` assumes that a valid `state` always exits, hence it cannot hurt to add a simple check to avoid errors being thrown.
Currently searching, and particularily highlighting of search results, may interfere with subsequent user-interactions such as scrolling/zooming/rotating which can result in a somewhat jarring UX where the document suddenly "jumps" to a previous position.
This is especially annoying in cases where the highlighted search result isn't even visible when a user initiated scrolling/zooming/rotating happens, and there exists a couple of bugs/issues about this behaviour.
It seems reasonable, as far as I'm concerned, to treat searching as one operation and any subsequent non-search user interactions with the viewer as separate and thus not scroll the current search result into view *unless* the user is actually doing another search.
This also seems consistent with general searching in e.g. Firefox and Adobe Reader:
- Compare with "regular" searching of e.g. HTML files in Firefox, where the user scrolling and/or zooming the document will not force a currently highlighted search result to become re-scrolled into view.
- Compare also with Adobe Reader, where the user scrolling, zooming, and/or rotating the document will not force the currently highlighted search result to become re-scrolled into view.
The question is then why search highlighting was implemented this way in PDF.js to begin with. It might be that this wasn't really intended behaviour, but more a consequence of the asynchronous nature of the API. Considering that most operations, such as fetching the page, rendering it and extracting its text-content are all asynchronous; searching and highlighting of matches thus becomes asynchronous too.
However, it should be possible to track when search results have been scrolled into view and highlighted, and thus prevent these wierd "jumps" when the user interacts with the document.
*Please note:* Unfortunately this required moving the scrolling of matches back into `PDFFindController`, since I simply couldn't see any other (reasonable) way of implementing the functionality without tracking the `_shouldScroll` property in only *one* spot.
However, given that the new `PDFFindController.scrollMatchIntoView` method follows a similar pattern as `BaseViewer.scrollPageIntoView` and `PDFThumbnailViewer.scrollThumbnailIntoView`, this is hopefully deemed OK.
Given that the `_updateScrollMode`/`_updateSpreadMode` methods are "private", there's no particular reason to not just directly call `_setCurrentPageNumber`.
Note that when e.g. presentation mode is active, we fail[1] to ensure that the `pageNumber` parameter is actually an integer before calling `_setCurrentPageNumber` (that method expects the argument be an integer).
Also changes the method signature, of `scrollPageIntoView`, to use object destructuring instead.
---
[1] Most likely, this is actually *my* oversight :-)
Currently we'll only attempt to start from the current page when a new search is done, however for 'findagain' operations we'll always continue from the last match position.
This could easily lead to confusing behaviour if the user has scrolled to a completely different part of the document. In an attempt to improve this somewhat, for repeated 'findagain' operations, we'll instead reset the position to the current page when it's *absolutely* certain that the user has scrolled.
Note that this required adding a new `BaseViewer` method, and exposing that through `PDFLinkService`, in order to check if a given page is visible.
In an attempt to avoid issues, in custom implementations of `PDFFindController`, the code checks for the existence of the `PDFLinkService.isPageVisible` method *before* using it.
Unfortunately the `PDFFindController.executeCommand` method has now become a bit more complicated than one would like, but hopefully this small change will improve the structure somewhat (especially for subsequent patches).
With only *one* event now being dispatched when the scale changes, in combination with there only being two call-sites, it doesn't seem necessary to keep the helper method for dispatching the 'scalechanging' event.
Currently `PDFFindController._calculateMatch` is (indirectly) dispatching an `updatetextlayermatches` event for every *single* page of the document. For short documents, such as the `tracemonkey` file, this probably doesn't matter too much, but for documents with a couple of thousand pages it seems unfortunate.
It shouldn't be necessary, in general, to dispatch `updatetextlayermatches` events here, since that's already being taken care of in `PDFFindController._updateMatch` which is always called when a match has been found.
However, when `highlightAll` is set we still need to ensure that pages which finished rendered *before* searching begun are updated correctly.
**STR:**
1. Open the default viewer, with the `tracemonkey` file.
2. Open the findbar, and search for "trace".
3. Enable the "Highlight All" option.
4. Close the findbar.
5. Re-open the findbar, and click on the "findNext" button.
6. Scroll down to the *second* page of the document.
**ER:**
Since "Highlight All" is active, all matches on the *second* page should be highlighted.
**AR:**
No matches are highlighted on the *second* page.
This is relevant for e.g. `PDFSinglePageViewer`, and `PDFViewer` with Presentation Mode active.
By moving this code to a helper method in `BaseViewer`, it's thus possible to reduce the amount of duplicate code that currently needed in `PDFViewer` and `PDFSinglePageViewer`.
For a short document, such as e.g. the `tracemonkey` file, this repeated normalization won't matter much, but for documents with a couple of thousand pages it seems completely unnecessary (and wasteful) to keep repeating the normalization whenever for every single page.
Currently the text-content is normalized every time that a new search operation is started, which seems completely useless considering that the "raw" text-content is never used for anything.
For a short document, such as e.g. the `tracemonkey` file, this repeated normalization won't matter much, but for documents with a couple of thousand pages it seems completely unnecessary (and wasteful) to keep repeating the normalization whenever e.g. a new search operation starts.
In the event that multiple instances of `PDFFindController` ever exists simultaneously, they will all be able to share just one `normalize` function in this way. Furthermore, the regular expression is now created lazily rather than at class construction time.
Despite all highlighted matches being removed in response to the 'findbarclose' event, there's a risk that a match could still be scrolled into view *after* the findbar has been closed[1].
Hence we need to ensure that long running searches, particularily those happening in large and/or slow loading documents[2], are ignored as well.
---
[1] The match is hidden, as expected, but the document could still scroll unexpectedly.
[2] Large documents loaded with `disableAutoFetch = true` and `disableStream = true` set are particularily susceptible to this issue.
Given that dispatching the 'updatetextlayermatches' event with `pageIndex = -1` set is now used to target the textLayers of *all* pages, there's no need to send individual events to every single page during `_nextMatch`. Since there can be an arbitrary number of pages in a document, this small/simple optimization seems too easy to ignore.
This patch does four things:
- Change the search related methods in `TextLayerBuilder` to be "private", since there're only called from within the class itself now.
- Use `const` for local variables not intended to change in the search related methods in `TextLayerBuilder`.
- Finally, removes most `this.findController` checks since they are redundant. Note how both `this._convertMatches` and `this._renderMatches` are *only* ever called, from `this._updateMatches`, when `this.findController` is actually defined. Hence there's really no need to repeat those checks all over the place, especially with all the relevant methods now being marked as "private".
- Always initialize the `this._pageMatchesLength` property with an empty array, to simplify the code in `TextLayerBuilder`.
This should, hopefully, cover all the possible ways[1] in which "fake workers" are loaded. Given the different code-paths, adding unit-tests might not be that simple.
Note that in order to make this work, the various `fakeWorkerFilesLoader` functions were converted to return `Promises`.
---
[1] Unfortunately there's lots of them, for various build targets and configurations.
Rather than having every invocation of `Toolbar._updateUIState` compute a valid `pageScaleValue`, it seems easier to simply ensure that it happens when the value is actually updated.
Looking at the history of this code, this parameter has never been used.
I'm guessing that most likely the code in `web/toolbar.js` began life as a copy of `web/secondary_toolbar.js`, which would probably explain why that parameter exists.
*This patch is based on something that I noticed while working on PR 10126.*
The recent re-factoring of `PDFFindController` brought many improvements, among those the fact that access to `BaseViewer` is no longer required. However, with these changes there's one thing which now strikes me as not particularly user-friendly[1]: The fact that in order for searching to actually work, `PDFFindController.setDocument` must be called *and* a 'pagesinit' event must be dispatched (from somewhere).
For all other viewer components, calling the `setDocument` method[2] is enough in order for the component to actually be usable.
The `PDFFindController` thus stands out quite a bit, and it also becomes difficult to work with in any sort of custom implementation. For example: Imagine someone trying to use `PDFFindController` separately from the viewer[3], which *should* now be relatively simple given the re-factoring, and thus having to (somehow) figure out that they'll also need to manually dispatch a 'pagesinit' event for searching to work.
Note that the above even affects the unit-tests, where an out-of-place 'pagesinit' event is being used.
To attempt to address these problems, I'm thus suggesting that *only* `setDocument` should be used to indicate that searching may start. For the default viewer and/or the viewer components, `BaseViewer.setDocument` will now call `PDFFindController.setDocument` when the document is ready, thus requiring no outside configuration anymore[4]. For custom implementation, and the unit-tests, it's now as simple as just calling `PDFFindController.setDocument` to allow searching to start.
---
[1] I should have caught this during review of PR 10099, but unfortunately it's sometimes not until you actually work with the code in question that things like these become clear.
[2] Assuming, obviously, that the viewer component in question actually implements such a method :-)
[3] There's even a very recent issue, filed by someone trying to do just that.
[4] Short of providing a `PDFFindController` instance when creating a `BaseViewer` instance, of course.
Since searching itself is an asynchronous operation, removal of highlights needs to be asynchronous too since otherwise there's a risk that the events happen in the wrong order and find highlights thus remain visible.
Also, this patch will now ensure that only 'findbarclose' events for the *current* document is handled since other ones doesn't really matter. Note in particular that when no document is loaded text-layers are, obviously, not present and subsequently it's unnecessary to attempt to hide non-existent find highlights.
For many years it's been possible to enter a search term into the findbar(s) before the document has finised loading, such that searching starts immediately once it has loaded.
PR 10099 accidentally broke that, which I unfortunately missed during reviewing.
Since searching is asynchronous you cannot directly check in `executeCommand` if the document is loaded/current, but need to wait until searching is actually enabled first.
Furthermore this patch also ensures that the `_findTimeout` is always correctly cleared given that it adds further asynchronous behaviour to searching, since you obviously only want to deal with searches relevant to the current document.
This is similar to the format used by a number of other viewer components, and should simplify the `PDFSidebar` initialization slightly.
Furthermore, by using the `eventBus` it's no longer necessary for `PDFSidebar` to have a direct dependency on `PDFOutlineViewer`.
There's still room for improvement here, but this patch is at least a start (since it's not clear to me how best to handle the viewers).
This attempts to reduced the level of indirection, and the amount of code, when dispatching `fileattachmentannotation` events, by removing the `PDFLinkService.onFileAttachmentAnnotation` method and just accessing `PDFLinkService.eventBus` directly in the `FileAttachmentAnnotationElement` constructor.
Given that other properties, such as `externalLinkTarget`/`externalLinkRel`, are already being accessed directly this pattern seems fine here as well.
This commit shows that we can now unit test the find controller and
that executing regular queries works. Note that this is only a first
step and not a complete suite of unit tests for all possible options
of the find controller.
While writing this unit test, I found two smaller issues that I
addressed directly. The first one is that in the previous find
controller refactoring I forgot to rename some occurrences of a now
private member variable. Fortunately this did not cause any bugs since
we did have a public getter and the fetched value may be changed by
reference, but it's nevertheless good to fix. The second issue is that
some entries in the `test/unit/clitests.json` file were not correct,
resulting in these tests not being executed on e.g., Travis CI.
With `PDFFindController` instances no longer (directly) depending on
`BaseViewer` instances, we can pass a single `findController` when
initializing a viewer, similar to other components.
This removes the dependency on a `PDFViewer` instance from the find
controller, which makes it more similar to other components and makes it
easier to unit test with a mock link service.
Finally, we remove the search capabilities from the SVG example since it
doesn't work there because there is no separate text layer.
Now it follows the same pattern as e.g., the document properties
component, which allows us to have one instance of the find controller
and set a new document to search upon switching documents.
Moreover, this allows us to get rid of the dependency on `pdfViewer` in
order to fetch the text content for a page. This is working towards
getting rid of the `pdfViewer` dependency upon initializing the
component entirely in future commits.
Finally, we make the `reset` method private since it's not supposed to
be used from the outside anymore now that `setDocument` takes care of
this, similar to other components.
This way the resetting of `PDFLinkService`/`PDFDocumentProperties` instances, as is done in `PDFViewerApplication.close`, only requires passing in *one* `null` argument instead of two.
The built-in PDF Viewer (in Firefox) cannot use the browser findbar when PDF files are embedded in e.g. iframe/object tags, and the PDF.js findbar (i.e. `PDFFindBar`) will thus be used instead in those cases.
This is slightly problematic, since the `MOZCENTRAL` version of the viewer uses a special, slimmed down, version of the `l10n.js` file that doesn't (currently) support plural forms. To prevent the matchesCounter from breaking completely in this edge-case, temporarily hard-code the plural form to use the default `[other]` version of the locale strings.
This prevents the findbar from intermittently displaying `0 of {number} matches`, which *could* theoretically happen for large and/or slow loading documents.
The find controller should only coordinate finding a string in the
document and should not be responsible for presenting the matches to the
user. The text layer builder already contains the logic to render the
matches in the viewer, so it should also take care of scrolling the
selected match into view.
The find controller already has quite a lot of state to maintain. We can
avoid keeping track of this member variable because when the find
controller is reset, so is the extract text promises array. Therefore,
we can just check if that array contains items or not to determine if
text extraction already started.
Moreover, there is no need to reset the `pageContents` array since the
`reset` method already takes care of that.
This is an unfortunate oversight on my part, which I stumbled upon when (locally) testing the `mozilla-central` follow-up patch necessary to enable the matches counter in the built-in PDF viewer.
