When a pdf as a FreeText without appearance, we use a fake font in order to render it
and that leads to create few new refs for the font.
But then when we're saving, we create some new refs which start at the same number
as the previous created ones.
Consequently, when saving we're using some wrong objects (like a font) to check if
we're able to render the newly added FreeText.
In order to fix this bug, we just remove the persistent refs (which are only used
when rendering/printing) during the saving.
The goal is to be able to get these outlines to fill the shape corresponding
to a text selection in order to highlight some text contents.
The outlines will be used either to show selected/hovered highlights.
This patch changes almost all viewer-components[1] to use "data-l10n-id"/"data-l10n-args" for localization, which means that in many cases we no longer need to pass around the `L10n`-instance any more.
One part of the code-base where the `L10n`-instance is still being used "directly" is the AnnotationEditors, however while it might be possible to convert (most of) that code as well that's not attempted in this patch.

[1] The one exception is the `PDFDocumentProperties` dialog, since the way it's currently implemented makes that less straightforward to fix without a lot of code changes.
- For the generic viewer we use @fluent/dom and @fluent/bundle
- For the builtin pdf viewer in Firefox, we set a localization url
and then we rely on document.l10n which is a DOMLocalization object.
At this point in time all browsers, and also Node.js, support standard `import`/`export` statements and we can now finally consider outputting modern JavaScript modules in the builds.[1]
In order for this to work we can *only* use proper `import`/`export` statements throughout the main code-base, and (as expected) our Node.js support made this much more complicated since both the official builds and the GitHub Actions-based tests must keep working.[2]
One remaining issue is that the `pdf.scripting.js` file cannot be built as a JavaScript module, since doing so breaks PDF scripting.
Note that my initial goal was to try and split these changes into a couple of commits, however that unfortunately didn't really work since it turned out to be difficult for smaller patches to work correctly and pass (all) tests that way.[3]
This is a classic case of every change requiring a couple of other changes, with each of those changes requiring further changes in turn and the size/scope quickly increasing as a result.
One possible "issue" with these changes is that we'll now only output JavaScript modules in the builds, which could perhaps be a problem with older tools. However it unfortunately seems far too complicated/time-consuming for us to attempt to support both the old and modern module formats, hence the alternative would be to do "nothing" here and just keep our "old" builds.[4]

[1] The final blocker was module support in workers in Firefox, which was implemented in Firefox 114; please see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import#browser_compatibility
[2] It's probably possible to further improve/simplify especially the Node.js-specific code, but it does appear to work as-is.
[3] Having partially "broken" patches, that fail tests, as part of the commit history is *really not* a good idea in general.
[4] Outputting JavaScript modules was first requested almost five years ago, see issue 10317, and nowadays there *should* be much better support for JavaScript modules in various tools.
In order to minimize the size the of a saved pdf, we generate only one
image and use a reference in each annotation using it.
When printing, it's slightly different since we have to render each page
independantly but we use the same image within a page.
With the changes in PR 16552 we can now move general translation into the `AnnotationLayer` itself, which should improve things ever so slightly in third-party implementations where the default viewer isn't used.
- it'll help to be able to move popups on screen to let the user read the text
- popups won't inherit some properties from their parent:
- the popup can be misrendered if for example the parent has a clip-path property.
- add an outline to the popup when the parent is focused.
- hide a popup when it's clicked.
Some arabic chars like \ufe94 could be searched in a pdf, hence it must be normalized
when creating the search query. So to avoid to duplicate the normalization code,
everything is moved in the find controller.
The previous code to normalize text was using NFKC but with a hardcoded map, hence it
has been replaced by the use of normalize("NFKC") (it helps to reduce the bundle size
by 30kb).
In playing with this \ufe94 char, I noticed that the bidi algorithm wasn't taking into
account some RTL unicode ranges, the generated font wasn't embedding the mapping this
char and the unicode ranges in the OS/2 table weren't up-to-date.
When normalized some chars can be replaced by several ones and it induced to have
some extra chars in the text layer. To avoid any regression, when copying some text
from the text layer, a copied string is normalized (NFKC) before being put in the
clipboard (it works like this in either Acrobat or Chrome).
This patch extends PR 16115 to work in all browsers, regardless of their `OffscreenCanvas` support, such that transfer functions will be applied to general rendering (and not just image data).
In order to do this we introduce the `BaseFilterFactory` that is then extended in browsers/Node.js environments, similar to all the other factories used in the API, such that we always have the necessary factory available in `src/display/canvas.js`.
These changes help simplify the existing `putBinaryImageData` function, and the new method can easily be stubbed-out in the Firefox PDF Viewer.
*Please note:* This patch removes the old *partial* transfer function support, which only applied to image data, from Node.js environments since the `node-canvas` package currently doesn't support filters. However, this should hopefully be fine given that:
- Transfer functions are not very commonly used in PDF documents.
- Browsers in general, and Firefox in particular, are the *primary* development target for the PDF.js library.
- The FAQ only lists Node.js as *mostly* supported, see https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#faq-support
- Pass the `URL`-object directly to `getDocument`, since that's been supported since PR 13166.
- Remove support for the `disableRange`-option in the test-manifest, since it's completely unused. Please note that it's originally added in PR 2719, however there's never actually been any reference tests using it (not even from the start).
Given that the option is `false` by default everywhere (e.g. in the Firefox PDF Viewer) and that we have unit-tests for `disableRange = true`, it doesn't seem necessary to add new reference tests for it now.
Currently we duplicate the same code more than once in the `test/driver.js` file, which we can avoid by adding a new `AnnotationStorage` helper method instead.
The initial CMap support was added in PR 4259 using the "raw" Adobe files, however they were quickly deemed to be unnecessarily large. As a result PR 4470 introduced the more compact "binary" CMap format, with both of those PRs being included in the very same release (version `0.8.1334`) .
Please note that we've thus never shipped anything *except* the "binary" CMap files with the PDF library, and furthermore note that we've not even once updated the CMap files since they were originally added almost nine years ago.
Requiring users to remember that `cMapPacked = true` is necessary, in addition to setting the `cMapUrl` parameter, in order for CMap loading to work feels like a less than ideal API.
Hence this patch, which suggests that we simply let `cMapPacked` default to `true` now.
Rather than handling these parameters separately, which is a left-over from back when streaming of textContent was originally added, we can simply pass either data directly to the `TextLayer` and let it handle things accordingly.
Also, improves a few JSDoc comments and `typedef`-imports.
The idea is just to resuse what we got on the first draw.
Now, we only update the scaleX of the different spans and the other values
are dependant of --scale-factor.
Move some properties in the CSS in order to avoid any updates in JS.
- For text fields
* when printing, we generate a fake font which contains some widths computed thanks to
an OffscreenCanvas and its method measureText.
In order to avoid to have to layout the glyphs ourselves, we just render all of them
in one call in the showText method in using the system sans-serif/monospace fonts.
* when saving, we continue to create the appearance streams if the fonts contain the char
but when a char is missing, we just set, in the AcroForm dict, the flag /NeedAppearances
to true and remove the appearance stream. This way, we let the different readers handle
the rendering of the strings.
- For FreeText annotations
* when printing, we use the same trick as for text fields.
* there is no need to save an appearance since Acrobat is able to infer one from the
Content entry.
It appears that PR 15593 broke `issue12402`, and we thus need to partially restore the /Count check.
I completely missed this when looking at the test-results for PR 15593, both locally and on the bots, since the `Driver._getLastPageNumber` method would "swallow" an unavailable page number.
Rather than forcing the user to *manually* call `setDimensions`, which is also breaking any existing third-party code, it seems that we can simply let the `AnnotationLayer.{render, update}`-methods handle that internally.
As far as I can tell, based on testing manually in the viewer *and* running the browser-tests, everything still appears to work correctly with this patch.
Currently we're loading the `web/annotation_layer_builder.css` and `web/xfa_layer_builder.css` files *directly* during the reference tests.
This becomes a problem is we want to reduce duplication in the CSS-files, e.g. by placing *common* rules in the `web/pdf_viewer.css` file.
Given that `gulp components` is already being utilized when running tests, we can thus use that to instead depend on the *entire* viewer-components CSS-file in the reference tests.
- each annotation has its coordinates/dimensions expressed in percentage,
hence it's correctly positioned whatever the scale factor is;
- the font sizes are expressed in percentage too and the main font size
is scaled thanks a css var (--scale-factor);
- the rotation is now applied on the div annotationLayer;
- this patch improve the rendering of some strings where the glyph spacing
was not correct (it's a Firefox bug);
- it helps to simplify the code and it should slightly improve the update of
page (on zoom or rotation).
- right now we're using the font size from the pdf itself but we use an other font
in the annotation layer. So this size doesn't really make sense and leads to bad
rendering (see pdf in #14928);
- use a sans-serif font for the fields containing text (fix issue #14736);
- remove useless padding in text-based fields (fix issue #14301);
- text fields allow/disallow scrolling bars (see bit 24 in Ff entry), so use this
value to hide/show scrollbars in annotation layer.
- Use Canvas & CanvasText color when they don't have their default value
as background and foreground colors.
- The colors used to draw (stroke/fill) in a pdf are replaced by the bg/fg
ones according to their luminance.
This is the final part in a series of patches that try to re-implement PR 14287 in smaller steps.
Besides converting `inlineImages` to use the Fetch API, this patch also combines the `inlineImages` and `resolveImages` functions since they are always used together.
This is another part in a series of patches that try to re-implement PR 14287 in smaller steps.
Besides converting `Driver._send` to use the Fetch API, this also changes the method to return a `Promise` to get rid of the callback function.
Please note that I *purposely* try to maintain the existing behaviour of re-sending the data on failure/unexpected response, including how/where the old callback function was invoked.
Sometimes I get a "Unable to find target with id XXX closeTarget..." error
when running tests which happens when test.js tries to close all the
open pages. I haven't been able to fully verify since this is intermittent,
but I think this is coming from us closing the window in driver.js and also
trying to close it in test.js.
This will default to generating test images at the device pixel
ratio of the machine the tests are created on unless the
test explicitly defines and output scale using the
`outputScale` setting. This makes the test look visually
like they would on the machine they are running on. It
also allows us to test different output scales.
While it's obviously fine to use the same PDF document in different reference-tests, note how we e.g. have both `eq` and `text` tests for one document, we should always avoid adding *duplicate* files in the `test/pdfs/` folder.
With these changes, we'll now *always* replace all whitespaces with standard spaces (0x20). This behaviour is already, since many years, the default in both the viewer and the browser-tests.
This patch circumvents the issues seen when trying to update TypeScript to version `4.5`, by "simply" fixing the broken/missing JSDocs and `typedef`s such that `gulp typestest` now passes.
As always, given that I don't really know anything about TypeScript, I cannot tell if this is a "correct" and/or proper way of doing things; we'll need TypeScript users to help out with testing!
*Please note:* I'm sorry about the size of this patch, but given how intertwined all of this unfortunately is it just didn't seem easy to split this into smaller parts.
However, one good thing about this TypeScript update is that it helped uncover a number of pre-existing bugs in our JSDocs comments.
