*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.
The `viewerCssTheme` option was not rendered because its entry in
`preferences_schema.json` did not have a `title`.
The order of keys in `preferences_schema.json` determines the order of the
rendered preferences in the options UI. Since `viewerCssTheme` affects the UI
very significantly, I have moved the option to the top.
After PR 13117 it's now (finally) possible for *different* build targets to specify individual options/preferences, and we can utilize that to only expose the `renderer`-preference in builds where `SVGGraphics` is actually defined.
Note that for e.g. `MOZCENTRAL`-builds, trying to enable SVG-rendering will throw immediately and the preference thus doesn't make sense to include there.
Also, update the dummy `SVGGraphics` to use a class, tweak the `PDFJSDev`-check in `src/display/svg.js` to agree fully with the option/preference, and remove an unnecessary `eslint-disable`.
Reasons for the removal include:
- This functionality was always somewhat experimental and has never been enabled by default, partly because of worries about rendering bugs caused by e.g. bad/outdated graphics drivers.
- After the initial implementation, in PR 4286 (back in 2014), no additional functionality has been added to the WebGL implementation.
- The vast majority of all documents do not benefit from WebGL rendering, since only a couple of *specific* features are supported (e.g. some Soft Masks and Patterns).
- There is, and has always been, *zero* test-coverage for the WebGL implementation.
- Overall performance, in the PDF.js library, has improved since the experimental WebGL implementation was added.
Rather than shipping unused *and* untested code, it seems reasonable to simply remove the WebGL implementation for now; thanks to version control it's always possible to bring back the code should the need ever arise.
While this will perhaps not be perfect for *every* PDF document with mixed page orientation, based on the large number of bugs/issues seen over the years I'm however pretty convinced that it'll be an overall improvement in a majority of cases.
In order to improve things further, we'd probably need Firefox to support e.g. `@page` such that the viewer can provide better information to the print engine.
Given that https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1699219 has enabled scripting for all Firefox-channels, it seems reasonable to simply set `enableScripting = true` unconditionally in the viewer preferences/options.
For now, this patch leaves the standalone viewer-components alone (such as e.g. `BaseViewer`), and if those are used scripting will thus have to be manually enabled (see e.g. the "simpleviewer"/"singlepageviewer" examples).
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.
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.)
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/
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.
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.
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);
});
});
});
```
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
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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 is the first step to be able to eventually get rid of the `attachDOMEventsToEventBus` function, by allowing `EventBus` instances to simply re-dispatch most[1] events to the DOM.
Note that the re-dispatching is purposely implemented to occur *after* all registered `EventBus` listeners have been serviced, to prevent the ordering issues that necessitated the duplicated page/scale-change events.
The DOM events are currently necessary for the `mozilla-central` tests, see https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/browser/extensions/pdfjs/test, and perhaps also for custom deployments of the PDF.js default viewer.
Once this have landed, and been successfully uplifted to `mozilla-central`, I intent to submit a patch to update the test-code to utilize the new preference. This will thus, eventually, make it possible to remove the `attachDOMEventsToEventBus` functionality.
*Please note:* I've successfully ran all `mozilla-central` tests locally, with these patches applied.

[1] The exception being events that originated on the `window` or `document`, since those are already globally available anyway.
This commit adds `scrollModeOnLoad` and `spreadModeOnLoad` preferences
that control the default viewer state when opening a new document for
the first time.
This commit also contains a minor refactoring of some of the option UI
rendering code in extensions/chromium/options/options.js, as I couldn't
bear creating two more functions nearly identical to the four that
already existed.
In a1cfa5f4d7, the textLayerMode
preference was introduced, to replace the disableTextLayer and
enhanceTextSelection preferences.
As a result, the text selection preference was no longer visible
in Chrome (because preferences are only rendered by default for
boolean preferences, not for enumerations).
This commit adds the necessary bits to
extensions/chromium/options/options.{html,js}
so that the textLayerMode preference can be changed again.
Also, migration logic has been added to move over preferences
from the old to the new names:
- In web/chromecom.js, the logic is added to translate
preferences that were set by an administrator (it is read-only,
so this layer is unavoidable).
- In extensions/chromium/options/migration.js, similar logic is
added, except in this case the preference storage is writable,
so this migration logic happens only once.
The "enhanced text selection" mode is still experimental, so it
has been marked as experimental to signal that there may be bugs.
The list of tasks that block promotion to stable is at #7584.
This partially reverts df0836b9b8.
The entry in preferences_schema.json is restored because that is
required to make managed preferences visible to the extension code.
The default key is still removed from default_preferences.json,
because this change only concerns the Chrome extension, not the
other parts of PDF.js. To account for the missing key, the
deprecated key was added back in chromecom.js
The key needs to be restored in preferences_schema.json too,
because that's the only way to make managed preferences visible.
I'm using `Object.assign`, which was introduced in Chrome 45,
so the preference module will break in Chrome 45 and earlier.
This is fine, because we do not support Chrome before 49.
Rather than having two different (but connected) options for the textLayer, I think that it makes sense to try and unify this. For example: currently if `disableTextLayer === true`, then the value of `enhanceTextSelection` is simply ignored.
Since PDF.js version `2.0` already won't be backwards compatible in lots of ways, I don't think that we need to worry about migrating existing preferences here.
This rule is available from https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-mozilla, and is enforced in mozilla-central. Note that we have the necessary `Array`/`String` polyfills and that most cases have already been fixed, see PRs 9032 and 9434.
Merge ftp and file handler now their implementations are identical.
Remove redundant comment (the referenced Chrome bug has been fixed
a long time ago - https://crbug.com/302548 ).
Note that the PageMode, as specified in the API, will only be honoured when either: the user hasn't set the `sidebarViewOnLoad` preference to a non-default value, or a non-default `sidebarView` entry doesn't exist in the view history, or the "pagemode" hash parameter is included in the URL.
Since this is new functionality, the patch also includes a preference (`disablePageMode`), to make it easy to opt-out of this functionality if the user/implementor so wishes.
