- 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.
- Use `PDFManager.ensureDoc`, rather than `PDFManager.ensure`, in a couple of spots in the code. If there exists a short-hand format, we should obviously use it whenever possible.
- Fix a unit-test helper, to account for the previous changes. (Also, converts a function to be `async` instead.)
- Add one more exists-check in `PDFDocument.loadXfaFonts`, which I missed to suggest in PR 13146, to prevent any possible errors if the method is ever called in a situation where it shouldn't be.
Also, print a warning if the actual font-loading fails since that could help future debugging. (Finally, reduce overall indentation in the loop.)
- Slightly unrelated, but make a small tweak of a comment in `src/core/fonts.js` to reduce possible confusion.
- but don't validate them for now;
- Firefox will display a bar to warn that the signature validation is not supported (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=854315)
- almost all (all ?) pdf readers display signatures;
- validation is done in edge but for now it's behind a pref.
* 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.
*This patch is based on a couple of smaller things that I noticed when working on PR 12479.*
- Don't store the /Fields on the `formInfo` getter, since that feels like overloading it with unintended (and too complex) data, and utilize a `hasFields` boolean instead.
This functionality was originally added in PR 12271, to help determine what kind of form data a PDF document contains, and I think that we should ensure that the return value of `formInfo` only consists of "simple" data.
With these changes the `fieldObjects` getter instead has to look-up the /Fields manually, however that shouldn't be a problem since the access is guarded by a `formInfo.hasFields` check which ensures that the data both exists and is valid. Furthermore, most documents doesn't even have any /AcroForm data anyway.
- Determine the `hasFields` property *first*, to ensure that it's always correct even if there's errors when checking e.g. the /XFA or /SigFlags entires, since the `fieldObjects` getter depends on it.
- Simplify a loop in `fieldObjects`, since the object being accessed is a `Map` and those have built-in iteration support.
- Use a higher logging level for errors in the `formInfo` getter, and include the actual error message, since that'd have helped with fixing PR 12479 a lot quicker.
- Update the JSDoc comment in `src/display/api.js` to list the return values correctly, and also slightly extend/improve the description.
The last unit-test didn't work correctly, since an error was thrown in `PDFDocument._hasOnlyDocumentSignatures` because the mocked `XRef`-instance wasn't actually being set correctly.
Also, updates the `XRefMock` to use `async` methods where appropriate.
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).
Note how the `getFontID`-method in `src/core/fonts.js` is *completely* global, rather than properly tied to the current document. This means that if you repeatedly open and parse/render, and then close, even the *same* PDF document the `fontID`s will still be incremented continuously.
For comparison the `createObjId` method, on `idFactory`, will always create a *consistent* id, assuming of course that the document and its pages are parsed/rendered in the same order.
In order to address this inconsistency, it thus seems reasonable to add a new `createFontId` method on the `idFactory` and use that when obtaining `fontID`s. (When the current `getFontID` method was added the `idFactory` didn't actually exist yet, which explains why the code looks the way it does.)
*Please note:* Since the document id is (still) part of the `loadedName`, it's thus not possible for different documents to have identical font names.
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).
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`.
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.)
This way we can avoid manually building a "document id" in multiple places in `evaluator.js`, and it also let's us avoid passing in an otherwise unnecessary `PDFManager` instance when creating a `PartialEvaluator`.
*Follow-up to PR 8909.*
This requires us to pass around `pdfFunctionFactory` to quite a lot of existing code, however I don't see another way of handling this while still guaranteeing that we can access `PDFFunction` as freely as in the old code.
Please note that the patch passes all tests locally (unit, font, reference), and I *very* much hope that we have sufficient test-coverage for the code in question to catch any typos/mistakes in the re-factoring.
We're currently making use of `uniquePrefix`/`idCounters` in multiple files, to create unique object id's, and adding a new occurrence of them requires some care to ensure that an object id isn't accidentally reused.
Furthermore, having to pass around multiple parameters as we currently do seem like something you want to avoid.
Instead, this patch adds a factory which means that there's only *one* thing that needs to be passed around. And since it's now only necessary to call a method in order to obtain a unique object id, the details are thus abstracted away at the call-sites which avoids accidental reuse of object id's.
To test that this works as expected a very simple `Page` unit-test is added, and the existing `Annotation layer` tests are also adjusted slightly.
