- 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.
* 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.
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.
*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.)
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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`.
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).
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 removes the `PDFJS.imageResourcesPath` dependency from the viewer components and the test-suite, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
This removes the `PDFJS.maxCanvasPixels` dependency from the viewer components, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
This removes the `PDFJS.useOnlyCssZoom` dependency from the viewer components, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
It is only used in a few places to handle prefixing style properties if
necessary. However, we used it only for `transform`, `transformOrigin`
and `borderRadius`, which according to Can I Use are supported natively
(unprefixed) in the browsers that PDF.js 2.0 supports. Therefore, we can
remove this class, which should help performance too since this avoids
extra function calls in parts of the code that are called often.
I don't know if this is a regression, but I noticed earlier today that depending on the initial scale *and* sidebar state, the `annotationLayer` of the first rendered page may end up duplicated; please see screen-shot below.
[screen-shot]
I can reproduce this reliable with e.g. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1112.0542v1.pdf#zoom=page-width&pagemode=bookmarks.
When the document loads, rendering of the first page begins immediately. When the sidebar is then opened, that forces re-rendering which thus aborts rendering of the first page.
Note that calling `PDFPageView.draw()` will always, provided an `AnnotationLayerFactory` instance exists, call `AnnotationLayerBuilder.render()`. Hence the events described above will result in *two* such calls, where the actual annotation rendering/updating happens asynchronously.
For reasons that I don't (at all) understand, when multiple `pdfPage.getAnnotations()` promises are handled back-to-back (in `AnnotationLayerBuilder.render()`), the `this.div` property seems to not update in time for the subsequent calls.
This thus, at least in Firefox, result in double rendering of all annotations on the first page.
Obviously it'd be good to find out why it breaks, since it *really* shouldn't, but this patch at least provides a (hopefully) acceptable work-around by ignoring `getAnnotations()` calls for `AnnotationLayerBuilder` instances that we're destroying (in `PDFPageView.reset()`).
*This is an existing issue that I noticed while testing PR 8552.*
When zooming or rotation occurs, we'll try to use the current canvas as a (CSS transformed) preview until the page has been completely re-drawn.
If you manage to change the scale (or rotation) *very* quickly, it's possible that `PDFPageView.update` can be called *before* a previous `render` operation has progressed far enough to remove the `hidden` property from the canvas.
The result is thus that a page may be *entirely* black during zooming or rotation, which doesn't look very good. This effect can be a bit difficult to spot, but it does manifest even in the default viewer.
This patch adds Streams API support in getTextContent
so that we can stream data in chunks instead of fetching
whole data from worker thread to main thread. This patch
supports Streams API without changing the core functionality
of getTextContent.
Enqueue textContent directly at getTextContent in partialEvaluator.
Adds desiredSize and ready property in streamSink.
This method is currently called from `PDFViewer._scrollUpdate` on *every* scroll event in the viewer.
However, I cannot see why this code is now necessary (assuming that it once was), since text-selection and searching still works *exactly* the same way with this patch as with the current `master`.
When `PDFPageView.updatePosition` is called, the page can be in either of these states:
1. The page hasn't been rendered, in which case the `textLayer` property doesn't exist yet.
2. The page is currently rendering, meaning that the `textLayer` property exists. Given that the `textContent` won't be fetched until the page has been successfully rendered, `TextLayerBuilder.render` will return immediately and effectively be a no-op (since there's nothing to render yet).
3. The has been been rendered, and the `textLayer` is currently rendering.
4. The page, and its `textLayer`, has been completely rendered. In this case, `TextLayerBuilder.render` will return immediately and effectively be a no-op.
Here, only the *third* case seem to require any further analysis:
When scrolling occurs while the `textLayer` is rendering, `TextLayerBuilder.render` will via a helper method call `TextLayerRenderTask.cancel` (in src/display/text_layer.js) to stop processing.
However, due to the run-to-completion nature of JavaScript, once `TextLayerRenderTask._render` has been invoked `appendText` will always run.[1]
So even though we cancel rendering of pending `textLayer`s during scrolling, via the repeated `TextLayerBuilder.render` calls from within the `PDFPageView.updatePosition` method, that does *not* prevent us from running the code inside of `TextLayerRenderTask._render` over and over for the *same* page; which all seems *very* inefficient to me.[2]
All this will thus have the effect of delaying the *actual* rendering of a `textLayer` ever so slightly while scrolling in the viewer. However, it does so at the expense of potentially hundreds of unnecessary `appendText` calls.[3]
Hence it seems to me that it's less resource intensive overall to simply let rendering of the `textLayer` complete, once it has started. Obviously, we still abort all rendering of a page, and its `textLayer`, when it's being destroyed (e.g. by being evicted from the page cache).
In case that there's any worry that the patch could affect e.g. highlighting of search results, please note that the existing code in `TextLayerBuilder.render` already calls `updateMatches` when the `TextLayerTask` resolves successfully.
*I'm sorry that this became quite long, but to try and summarize:*
`PDFPageView.updatePosition` doesn't actually do anything in *most* cases. In the one case where it matters, it seems that it's actually doing more harm than good; which is why I'm proposing that we just remove it.
---
[1] Although we may be able to skip the `render` call, provided that it happens *after* a `timeout` (as is the case in the default viewer).
[2] With current work being done to support streaming of `TextContent`, we'd also need to add just as many duplicate API calls to `PDFPageView.updatePosition`.
[3] The number of duplicate `appendText` calls is directly proportional not only to the scroll speed, but also to the number of pages in the document.
