Fewer dependencies shouldn't be a bad idea in general, and given that the `node-canvas` package already include a `DOMMatrix` polyfill we can simply use that one instead.
This replaces the boolean `annotationEditorEnabled` option/preference with a "proper" `annotationEditorMode` one. This way it's not only possible for the user to control if Editing is enabled/disabled, but also which *specific* Editing-mode should become enabled upon PDF document load.
Given that Editing is not enabled/released yet, I cannot imagine that changing the name and type of the option/preference should be an issue.
*Please note:* The dates below are still a little ways off, however that obviously won't affect the existing PDF.js releases. Hence I think that we can make these changes now, since by the time of the *next* official PDF.js release they'll likely match up pretty well.[1]
While we "support" some (by now) fairly old browsers, that essentially means that the library (and viewer) will load and that the basic functionality will work as intended.[2]
However, in older browsers, some functionality may not be available and generally we'll ask users to update to a modern browser when bugs (specific to old browsers) are reported.[3]
Since we've previously settled on only supporting browsers/environments that are approximately *three years old*, this patch updates the minimum supported browsers/environments as follows:
- Chrome 76, which was released on 2019-07-30; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_version_history
- Firefox ESR (as before); see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar
- Safari 13, which was released on 2019-09-19; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safari_version_history#Safari_13
- Node.js 14, which was release on 2020-04-21 (all older versions have reached EOL); see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node.js#Releases
---
[1] Given that the releases usually happen every two to three months.
[2] Assuming that a `legacy/`-build is being used, of course.
[3] In general it's never a good idea to use old/outdated browsers, since those may contain *known* security vulnerabilities.
After the changes in PR 14998, these operators are now no-ops in the `src/display/canvas.js` code and should no longer be necessary.
Given that `beginAnnotations`/`endAnnotations` are not in the PDF specification, but are rather *custom* PDF.js operators, it seems reasonable to stop using them now that they've become no-ops.
- Approximate the drawn curve by a set of Bezier curves in using
js code from https://github.com/soswow/fit-curves.
The code has been slightly modified in order to make the linter
happy.
- Ensure that the modified-warning won't be displayed, when navigating away from the viewer, if the user has added custom Annotations and then *removed all* of them.
- Ensure that the *initial* editor-buttons state, i.e. the `toggled`-class, is correctly displayed in the toolbar when then viewer loads.
- Tweak the CSS-classes for the editor-buttons, such that they use the correct focus/hover-rules (similar to the sidebar-buttons).
- Remove a no longer accurate comment from the `BaseViewer.annotationEditorMode`-setter.
- Address a couple of *smaller* outstanding review comments, including some re-formatting changes, from PR 14976.
- 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.
The current `lastModified`-getter, which only contains a time-stamp, is a fairly crude way of detecting if the stored data has actually been changed. In particular, when the `getRawValue`-method is used, the `lastModified`-getter doesn't cope with data being modified from the "outside".
To fix these issues[1], and to prevent any future bugs in this code, this patch introduces a new `AnnotationStorage.hash`-getter which computes a hash of the currently stored data. To simplify things this re-uses the existing `MurmurHash3_64`-implementation, which required moving that file into the `src/shared/`-folder, since its performance should be good enough here.
---
[1] Given how the `AnnotationStorage.lastModified`-getter was used, this would have been limited to *printing* of forms.
- most of the time the current transform is a scaling one (modulo translation),
hence it's possible to avoid to apply the transform on each bbox and then apply
it a posteriori;
- compute the bbox when it's possible in the worker.
- avoid to call normalizeRect which clones the rectangles: it's useless
and time consuming;
- in profiling the pdf in bug 1135277, the time spent in intersect drops
from ~1s to ~30ms.
- write some uint32 instead of uint8 to avoid the check before clamping;
- unroll the loop to write data in the buffer
- but keep a loop for the last element of a line: it likely doesn't hurt
that much since it's executed only for one time for each line;
- I tested on a macbook with an Apple chip, and on Firefox nightly the new
code is almost 3.5x faster than before (~1.8x with Chrome).
- it aims to partially fix performance issue reported: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=857031;
- the idea is too avoid to use byte arrays but use ImageBitmap which are a way faster to draw:
* an ImageBitmap is Transferable which means that it can be built in the worker instead of in the main thread:
- this is achieved in using an OffscreenCanvas when it's available, there is a bug to enable them
for pdf.js: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1763330;
- or in using createImageBitmap: in Firefox a task is sent to the main thread to build the bitmap so
it's slightly slower than using an OffscreenCanvas.
* it's transfered from the worker to the main thread by "reference";
* the byte buffers used to create the image data have a very short lifetime and ergo the memory used is globally
less than before.
- Use the localImageCache for the mask;
- Fix the pdf issue4436r.pdf: it was expected to have a binary stream for the image;
- Move the singlePixel trick from operator_list to image: this way we can use this trick even if it isn't in a set
as defined in operator_list.
This function is currently placed in the `src/shared/util.js` file, which means that the code is duplicated in both of the *built* `pdf.js` and `pdf.worker.js` files. Furthermore, it only has a single call-site which is also specific to the `GENERIC`-build of the PDF.js library.
Hence this helper function is instead moved into the `src/display/api.js` file, in such a way that it's conditionally defined but still can be unit-tested.
According to the MDN compatibility data, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DOMMatrix/DOMMatrix#browser_compatibility, all browsers that we support have native `DOMMatrix` implementations (since quite some time too).
Hence Node.js is the only environment that lack `DOMMatrix` support, which probably isn't that surprising given that it's browser functionality.
While the `DOMMatrix` polyfill isn't that large, it nonetheless seems completely unnecessary to bundle it in the `legacy` builds when it's not needed in browsers. However, we can avoid that by simply listing `dommatrix` as a dependency for the `pdfjs-dist` library.
The call-sites are replaced by direct `typeof`-checks instead, which removes unnecessary function calls. Note that in the `src/`-folder we already had more `typeof`-cases than `isString`-calls.
All call-sites that use `wrapReason` should be passing a (possibly cloned) `Error` to the helper function, hence we shouldn't need to have a fallback code-path for any other data.
Note that for the `cancel`/`error` methods on Streams, since PR 11115 we've been asserting that the argument is in fact an `Error` as intended.
When calling `wrapReason` from *rejected* Promises, we should also be guaranteed that an `Error` is provided thanks to the ESLint rules `no-throw-literal` and `prefer-promise-reject-errors`.
The call-sites are replaced by direct `typeof`-checks instead, which removes unnecessary function calls. Note that in the `src/`-folder we already had more `typeof`-cases than `isNum`-calls.
These changes were *mostly* done using regular expression search-and-replace, with two exceptions:
- In `Font._charToGlyph` we no longer unconditionally update the `width`, since that seems completely unnecessary.
- In `PDFDocument.documentInfo`, when parsing custom entries, we now do the `typeof`-check once.
According to the MDN compatibility data, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream#browser_compatibility, all browsers that we support have native `ReadableStream` implementations (since quite some time too).
Hence only Node.js is now lagging behind w.r.t. `ReadableStream` support, and its experimental implementation doesn't really help us given the life-span of the LTS releases (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node.js#Releases).
It seems quite unfortunate to bundle a `ReadableStream` polyfill in the `legacy` builds when it's unnecessary in browsers, given its overall size, but fortunately we can avoid that by simply listing `web-streams-polyfill` as a dependency for the `pdfjs-dist` library.
With recent changes, specifically PR 14515 *and* the previous patch, the `createObjectURL` helper function is now only used with the SVG back-end.
All other call-sites, throughout the code-base, are now using `URL.createObjectURL(...)` directly and it no longer seems necessary to keep exposing the helper function in the API.
Finally, the `createObjectURL` helper function is moved into the `src/display/svg.js` file to avoid unnecessarily duplicating this code on both the main- and worker-threads.
Please note that while we "support" some (by now) fairly old browsers, that essentially means that the library (and viewer) will load and that the basic functionality will work as intended.[1]
However, in older browsers, some functionality may not be available and generally we'll ask users to update to a modern browser when bugs (specific to old browsers) are reported.[2]
There's always a question of just how old browsers the PDF.js contributors can realistically support, and here I'm suggesting that we place the cut-off point at approximately *three* years.
With that in mind, this patch updates the *minimum* supported browsers (and environments) as follows:
- Chrome 73, which was released on 2019-03-12; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_version_history
- Firefox ESR (as before); see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar
- Safari 12.1, which was released on 2019-03-25; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safari_version_history#Safari_12
- Node.js 12, which was release on 2019-04-23 (and will soon reach EOL); see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node.js#Releases
---
[1] Assuming a `legacy`-build is being used, of course.
[2] In general it's never a good idea to use an old/outdated browser, since those may contain *known* security vulnerabilities.
This allows us to remove the manually implemented `structuredClone` polyfill, thus reducing the maintenance burden for the `LoopbackPort` class; refer to https://github.com/zloirock/core-js#structuredclone
*Please note:* While `structuredClone` support landed already in Firefox 94, Google Chrome only added it in version 98 (currently in Beta). However, given that the `LoopbackPort` will only be used together with *fake workers* in browsers this shouldn't be too much of a problem.[1]
For Node.js environments, where *fake workers* are unfortunately necessary, using a `legacy/`-build is already required which thus guarantees that the `structuredClone` polyfill is available.
Also, the patch updates core-js to the latest version since that one includes `structuredClone` improvements; please see https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/releases/tag/v3.20.3
---
[1] Given that we only support browsers with proper worker support, if *fake workers* are being used that essentially indicates a configuration problem/error.
Inlining the checks should be a *tiny bit* more efficient, since it avoids have to make *unconditional* function calls in these fairly commonly used helper functions.
This patch implements this by looking for the UTF-8 BOM, i.e. `\xEF\xBB\xBF`, in order to determine the encoding.[1]
The actual conversion is done using the `TextDecoder` interface, which should be available in all environments/browsers that we support; please see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TextDecoder#browser_compatibility
---
[1] Assuming that everything lacking a UTF-16 BOM would have to be UTF-8 encoded really doesn't seem correct.
This helper function has never been used in e.g. the worker-thread, hence its placement in `src/shared/util.js` led to a *small* amount of unnecessary duplication.
After the previous patches this helper function is now *only* used in the viewer, hence it no longer seems necessary to expose it through the official API.
*Please note:* It seems somewhat unlikely that third-party users were relying *directly* on this helper function, which is why it's not being exported as part of the viewer components. (If necessary, we can always change this later on.)
Trying to shadow a non-existent property is always an implementation mistake, since it leads to the `shadow`-call not having any effect.
In PR 14152 I overlooked the fact that it's fairly easy to enforce this during development/testing, since that can help catch e.g. simple spelling bugs.
Given that all modern browsers now support `postMessage` transfers, and have for years, it no longer seems necessary for the PDF.js library to support using Workers unless the `postMessage` transfers functionality is available.
This patch is a follow-up to PR 11123, which made it impossible to *manually* disable `postMessage` transfers for performance reasons (since it increases memory usage), which hasn't caused any bug reports as far as I know.[1]
Hence we'll now only support *proper* Worker implementations, with fully working `postMessage` transfers, and fallback to using "fake" Workers otherwise.
---
[1] At the time of that PR we still "supported" IE, which is why this code was left intact.
This allows us to compose much smaller regions of soft
mask making them much faster. This should also allow
for further optimizations in the pattern code.
For example locally I see issue #6573 go from 55s
to 5s with this change.
Fixes#6573
Apparently Node.js has added *global* `URL.createObjectURL` support, but not done the same thing for `Blob`. Hence we also need to check for the availability of `Blob` in the `createObjectURL` helper function, and it's probably a good idea to also update `examples/node/pdf2svg.js` to work-around this until these changes reach an official PDF.js release.
Having recently worked with, and reviewed patches touching, this code it seemed that it's probably not a bad idea to move that functionality into `createValidAbsoluteUrl` as new options instead.
For the `addDefaultProtocolToUrl` functionality in particular, the existing helper function was not only moved but slightly improved as well. Looking at the code, I realized that there's a small risk that it would incorrectly match a *relative* URL-string too.
With these changes, the `createValidAbsoluteUrl` call-sites in the `src/core/`-code can be simplified a little bit.
*Please note:* This patch may, indirectly, change the format of the `unsafeUrl`-property returned with relevant Annotations and OutlineItems; hence the `api-minor` tag.
However, I'd argue that it's actually more correct this way since the whole purpose of `unsafeUrl` is/was to return the URL data as-is without any parsing done.
In particular the `_processStreamMessage`-method is a bit cumbersome to read, given the way that the current streamController/streamSink is accessed, which we can improve with a couple of local variables.
After PR 11601, the `paintJpegXObject` operator is no longer used for anything. While I don't think we can just remove it, and essentially leave a "hole" in the `OPS` structure, we should at least mark it as explicitly unused to aid readability/maintainability of the code.
The `MessageHandler`-implementation already handles either of these callbacks being undefined, hence there's no particular reason (as far as I can tell) to add no-op functions here.
Also, in a couple of `MessageHandler`-methods, utilize an already existing local variable more.
While running the unit-tests with some logging statements added to this code, I noticed that `PasswordException` was missing from the list of potential Errors that could be passed to the `wrapReason` function.
*This is a follow-up to PRs 13867 and 13899.*
This patch is tagged `api-minor` for the following reasons:
- It replaces the `renderInteractiveForms`/`includeAnnotationStorage`-options, in the `PDFPageProxy.render`-method, with the single `annotationMode`-option that controls which annotations are being rendered and how. Note that the old options were mutually exclusive, and setting both to `true` would result in undefined behaviour.
- For improved consistency in the API, the `annotationMode`-option will also work together with the `PDFPageProxy.getOperatorList`-method.
- It's now also possible to disable *all* annotation rendering in both the API and the Viewer, since the other changes meant that this could now be supported with a single added line on the worker-thread[1]; fixes 7282.
---
[1] Please note that in order to simplify the overall implementation, we'll purposely only support disabling of *all* annotations and that the option is being shared between the API and the Viewer. For any more "specialized" use-cases, where e.g. only some annotation-types are being rendered and/or the API and Viewer render different sets of annotations, that'll have to be handled in third-party implementations/forks of the PDF.js code-base.
*This patch is very similar to the recently fixed `renderInteractiveForms`-options, see PR 13867.*
As far as I can tell, this *subtle* bug has existed ever since `AnnotationStorage`-support was first added in PR 12106 (a little over a year ago).
The value of the `includeAnnotationStorage`-option, as passed to the `PDFPageProxy.render` method, will (potentially) affect the size/content of the operatorList that's returned from the worker (for documents with forms).
Given that operatorLists will generally, unless they contain huge images, be cached in the API, repeated `PDFPageProxy.render` calls where the form-data has been changed by the user in between, can thus *wrongly* return a cached operatorList.
In the viewer we're only using the `includeAnnotationStorage`-option when printing, which is probably why this has gone unnoticed for so long. Note that we, for performance reasons, don't cache printing-operatorLists in the API.
However, there's nothing stopping an API-user from using the `includeAnnotationStorage`-option during "normal" rendering, which could thus result in *subtle* (and difficult to understand) rendering bugs.
In order to handle this, we need to know if the `AnnotationStorage`-instance has been updated since the last `PDFPageProxy.render` call. The most "correct" solution would obviously be to create a hash of the `AnnotationStorage` contents, however that would require adding a bunch of code, complexity, and runtime overhead.
Given that operatorList caching in the API doesn't have to be perfect[1], but only have to avoid *false* cache-hits, we can simplify things significantly be only keeping track of the last time that the `AnnotationStorage`-data was modified.
*Please note:* While working on this patch, I also noticed that the `renderInteractiveForms`- and `includeAnnotationStorage`-options in the `PDFPageProxy.render` method are mutually exclusive.[2]
Given that the various Annotation-related options in `PDFPageProxy.render` have been added at different times, this has unfortunately led to the current "messy" situation.[3]
---
[1] Note how we're already not caching operatorLists for pages with *huge* images, in order to save memory, hence there's no guarantee that operatorLists will always be cached.
[2] Setting both to `true` will result in undefined behaviour, since trying to insert `AnnotationStorage`-values into fields that are being excluded from the operatorList-building will obviously not work, which isn't at all clear from the documentation.
[3] My intention is to try and fix this in a follow-up PR, and I've got a WIP patch locally, however it will result in a number of API-observable changes.
At this point in time, all of the supported browsers (in the PDF.js project) have native `ReadableStream` implementations; see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream#browser_compatibility
Hence the polyfill is *only* necessary in Node.js environments now, and we shouldn't need to do any detailed feature detection either (since that was only done for the non-Chromium versions of the MS Edge browser).
Finally, we can slightly reduce the size of the Chromium-extension since the polyfill shouldn't be needed there either.
Once we're finally able to get rid of SystemJS, which is unfortunately still blocked on [bug 1247687](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687), we might also want to clean-up (or even completely remove) the `BaseException` abstraction and simply extend `Error` directly instead.
At that point we'd need to (explicitly) set the `name` on each class anyway, so this patch is essentially preparing for future clean-up. Furthermore, after the `BaseException` abstraction was added there's been *multiple* issues filed about third-party minification breaking our code since `this.constructor.name` is not guaranteed to always do what you intended.
While hard-coding the strings indeed feels quite unfortunate, it's likely the "best" solution to avoid the problem described above.
The value of the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter, as passed to the `PDFPageProxy.render` method, will (potentially) affect the size/content of the operatorList that's returned from the worker (for documents with forms).
Given that operatorLists will generally, unless they contain huge images, be cached in the API, repeated `PDFPageProxy.render` calls that *only* change the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter can thus return an incorrect operatorList.
As far as I can tell, this *subtle* bug has existed ever since `renderInteractiveForms`-support was first added in PR 7633 (which is almost five years ago).
With the previous patch, fixing this is now really simple by "encoding" the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter in the *internal* renderingIntent handling.
With the changes made in PR 13746 the *internal* renderingIntent handling became somewhat "messy", since we're now having to do string-matching in various spots in order to handle the "oplist"-intent correctly.
Hence this patch, which implements the idea from PR 13746 to convert the `intent`-strings, used in various API-methods, into an *internal* renderingIntent that's implemented using a bit-field instead. *Please note:* This part of the patch, in itself, does *not* change the public API (but see below).
This patch is tagged `api-minor` for the following reasons:
1. It changes the *default* value for the `intent` parameter, in the `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations` method, to "display" in order to be consistent across the API.
2. In order to get *all* annotations, with the `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations` method, you now need to explicitly set "any" as the `intent` parameter.
3. The `PDFPageProxy.getOperatorList` method will now also support the new "any" intent, to allow accessing the operatorList of all annotations (limited to those types that have one).
4. Finally, for consistency across the API, the `PDFPageProxy.render` method also support the new "any" intent (although I'm not sure how useful that'll be).
Points 1 and 2 above are the significant, and thus breaking, changes in *default* behaviour here. However, unfortunately I cannot see a good way to improve the overall API while also keeping `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations` unchanged.
This patch makes use of the existing `ignoreErrors` option, thus allowing a page to continue parsing/rendering even if (some of) its sub-streams are corrupt. Obviously this may cause *part* of a page to be broken/missing, however it should be better than (potentially) rendering nothing.
Also, to the best of my knowledge, this is the first bug of its kind that we've encountered.
To avoid having to pass in a bunch of, for a `BaseStream`-instance, mostly unrelated parameters when initializing a `StreamsSequenceStream`-instance, I settled on utilizing a callback function instead to allow conditional Error-suppression.
Note that the `StreamsSequenceStream`-class is a *special* stream-implementation that we only use when the `/Contents`-entry, in the `/Page`-dictionary, consists of an Array with streams.
Given that `DOMMatrix` is, unsurprisingly, not supported in Node.js the `createMatrix` helper function in `src/display/pattern_helper.js` is most likely broken in Node.js environments. It will obviously try to fallback to the `DOMSVGFactory`, however that isn't intended for Node.js usage and errors will be thrown.
Rather than trying to implement a `NodeSVGFactory`, this patch takes the easier route of just adding a `DOMMatrix` polyfill using: https://www.npmjs.com/package/dommatrix
This isn't done only for simplicity, but it'll become necessary anyway since the `createMatrix` helper function is only temporary and will be removed in the future.
The building of glyph paths, in the `FontRendererFactory`, can fail in various ways for corrupt font data. However, we're currently not attempting to handle any such errors in the evaluator, which means that a single broken glyph *can* prevent an entire page from rendering.
To address this we simply have to pass along, and check, the existing `ignoreErrors` option in `PartialEvaluator.buildFontPaths` similar to the rest of the `PartialEvaluator` code.
To get the maximum benefit from something like Prettier, you obviously don't want to disable the automatic formatting unless absolutely necessary. When we added Prettier there were a number of cases, mostly involving larger Arrays, which required disabling of the automatic formatting for overall readability and/or to not break inline comments.
With changes in Prettier version `2.3.0`, see [the release notes](https://prettier.io/blog/2021/05/09/2.3.0.html#concise-formatting-of-number-only-arrays-10106httpsgithubcomprettierprettierpull10106-10160httpsgithubcomprettierprettierpull10160-by-thorn0httpsgithubcomthorn0), there's now better formatting support for Arrays containing only numbers. Hence we can now remove a number of `// prettier-ignore` comments, and thus get the benefit of automatic formatting in (slightly) more of the code-base.
With the changes in PR 13361, we're now using the `CanvasPattern.setTransform()` method when rendering certain Shadings/Patterns.
Note that while `CanvasPattern` itself has been supported since basically "forever", its `setTransform` method is a slightly newer addition to the specification; please refer to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CanvasPattern#browser_compatibility
Rather than trying to re-write PR 13361 to not use, or possibly spending time/effort (if possible) polyfilling, `CanvasPattern.setTransform()` this patch thus suggests that we simply update the *minimum* supported browser versions instead.
According to the compatibility data linked above, the *minimum* supported browser versions in the PDF.js library are now as follows:
- Chrome >= 68, which was released on 2018-07-24.[1]
- Firefox ESR, see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar.
- Safari >= 11.1, which was release on 2018-03-29.[2]
(Given that the PDF.js contributors cannot realistically test a bunch of old browsers, it's not unimaginable that some older browser versions are already not working with the PDF.js library.)
Based on these changes, which we should ensure are reflected in the Wiki as well, we can also remove a number of now redundant polyfills. Furthermore we'll no longer "claim" to support Windows XP, note the `gulpfile.js` changes, which should definitely *not* be an issue given that it's no longer officially supported.[3]

- 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.
Based on this compatibility information, given that IE 11 is now *explicitly* unsupported, we should no longer need to bundle a `URL` polyfill in any builds: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/URL#browser_compatibility
Note that the caveat listed for older Safari-versions doesn't apply to any code in the PDF.js library, since we never call `new URL(url, undefined)` in the code-base.
Note also that Node.js has a web-compatible `URL` implementation, which according to the "History" section at https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#url_the_whatwg_url_api has been available since Node.js `10.0.0` (according to https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/ that branch is one month away from being EOL-ed).
A significant portion of the code-base has now been converted to use `let`/`const`, rather than `var`, hence it should be possible to simply enable the ESLint `no-var` rule globally.
This way we can ensure that new code won't accidentally use `var`, and it also removes the need to manually enable the rule in various folders.
Obviously it makes sense to continue the efforts to replace `var`, but that should probably happen on a file and/or folder basis.
Please note that this patch excludes the following code:
- The `extensions/` folder, since that seemed easiest for now (and I don't know exactly what the support situation is for the Chromium-extension).
- The entire `external/` folder is ignored, since most of it's currently excluded from linting.
For the code that isn't imported from elsewhere (and should be ignored), we should probably (at some point) bring the code up to the same linting/formatting standard as the rest of the code-base.
- Various files in the `test/` folder are ignored, as necessary, since the way that a lot of this code is loaded will require some care (or perhaps larger re-factoring) when removing `var` usage.
Given that it's only used with `Map`s, and that it's currently implemented in such a way that we (indirectly) must iterate through the data *twice*, some simplification cannot hurt here.
Note that the only reason that we're not using `Object.fromEntries(...)` directly, at each call-site, is that that one won't guarantee that a `null` prototype is being used.
The `compareByteArrays` is first of all duplicated in multiple closures in the `src/core/crypto.js` file. Secondly, despite its name, it's also functionally equivalent to the now existing `isArrayEqual` helper function.
The `isArrayEqual` helper function is changed to use a standard `for`-loop, rather than `Array.prototype.every`, since that ought to be slightly more efficient given that we're now using it with (potentially) larger data.
Note that this particular helper function is, with the exception of the `GENERIC` default viewer and the (unsupported) SVG-backend, mostly unused at this point in time. Hence we should be able to clean-up this helper function slightly.
Also, fixes a small inconsistency in the `SVGGraphics` initialization in the viewer, by passing in the `disableCreateObjectURL` compatibility-option. Given that the SVG-backend isn't officially supported/recommended this shouldn't have been an issue, but given that I spotted this it can't hurt to fix it.
With the previous patch this function is now *only* accessed on the worker-thread, hence it's no longer necessary to include it in the *built* `pdf.js` file.

The only reason, as far as I can tell, for parsing the Metadata on the main-thread is how it was originally implemented. When Metadata support was first implemented, it utilized the [`DOMParser`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DOMParser) which isn't available in workers.
Today, with the custom XML-parser being used, that's no longer an issue and it seems reasonable to move the Metadata parsing to the worker-thread[1], since that's where all parsing should happen (for performance reasons).
Based on these changes, we'll be able to reduce the now unnecessary duplication of the XML-parser (and related code) in both of the *built* `pdf.js`/`pdf.worker.js` files.
Finally, this patch changes the `_repair` method to use "Array + join" rather than string concatenation.

[1] This needed the previous patch, to enable sending of `Map`s between threads with workers disabled.
- the parser is base on a class extending XMLParserBase
- it handle xml namespaces:
* each namespace is assocated with a builder
* builder builds nodes belonging to the namespace
* when a node is inserted in the parent namespace compatibility is checked (if required)
- to avoid name collision between xml names and object properties, use Symbol.
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.
* 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 is a recent regression, which I stumbled upon while working on cleaning-up the gulpfile related to `pdf.sandbox.js` building.*
By placing the `ColorConverters` functionality in the `src/display/display_utils.js` file, you end up including a *significant* chunk of the `pdf.js` file in the built `pdf.scripting.js`/`pdf.sandbox.js` files.
Given that I cannot imagine that this was actually intended, since it inflates the built files with unnecessary/unused code, this moves `ColorConverters` to a new file instead (thus breaking the dependencies).
To hopefully reduce the risk future bugs, along these lines, a big comment is also placed at the top of the new file.
Finally, the `ColorConverters` is converted to a class with static methods, since this felt slightly cleaner overall.
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.

* it's faster to generate the color code in using a table for components
* it's very likely a way faster to parse (when setting the color in the canvas)
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.
Rather than returning an *empty* Object[1] we should be returning `null` instead, since that's consistent with existing API-functionality.
To avoid having to *manually* track if the Object is empty, this patch also introduces a small helper function to check its size.
This patch removes unnecessary escape-sequence in (mostly) strings, as a first step, since the ones in regular expressions probably requires more careful testing (just in case).
The only exception is a regular expression in `src/core/annotation.js`, since we should have both unit- and reference-tests for this code *and* given [this information on MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions/Character_Classes#Types):
> Inside a character set, the dot loses its special meaning and matches a literal dot.

This provides a work-around to avoid having to conditionally try to initialize the `openAction`-object in multiple places.
Given that `Object.fromEntries` doesn't seem to *guarantee* that a `null` prototype is used, we thus hack around that by using `Object.assign` with `Object.create(null)`.
Given that this code is used on the worker-thread, where SystemJS is still used during development, we need to (for now) handle this folder the same way as the `src/core/` one.
This simplifies/consolidates the ESLint configuration slightly in the `src/` folder, and prevents the addition of any new files where `var` is being used.[1]
Hence we no longer need to manually add `/* eslint no-var: error */` in files, which is easy to forget, and can instead disable the rule in the `src/core/` files where `var` is still in use.

[1] Obviously the `no-var` rule can, in the same way as every other rule, be disabled on a case-by-case basis where actually necessary.
Previously this rule has been enabled in the `web/` folder, and in select files in the `src/` sub-folders.
In this case, enabling of this rule didn't actually require any further code changes.
