To prevent the *standalone* viewer-components from breaking, we need to ensure that the `NullL10n`-interface won't accidentally diverge from the actual `L10n`-implementations.
*Please note:* These changes only affect the GENERIC build, since `NullL10n` is only a stub elsewhere (see PR 17135).
After the changes in PR 17115, which modernized and improved l10n-handling, the `NullL10n`-implementation is no longer a good fallback for the "proper" `L10n`-classes.
To improve this situation, especially for the *standalone* viewer-components, this patch makes the following changes:
- Let the `NullL10n`-implementation extend an actual `L10n`-class, which is constant and lazily initialized, to ensure that it works *exactly* like the "proper" ones.
- Automatically bundle the "en-US" l10n-strings in the build, via the pre-processor, such that we don't need to remember to manually update them.
- Ensure that the *standalone* viewer-components register their DOM-elements for translation, similar to the default viewer, since this will allow future code improvements by using "data-l10n-id"/"data-l10n-args" in most (if not all) parts of the viewer.
- Remove the `NullL10n` from the `AnnotationLayer`, to avoid affecting bundle size too much.
For third-party users that access the `AnnotationLayer`, as exposed in the main PDF.js library, they'll now need to *manually* register it for translation. (However, the *standalone* viewer-components still works given the point above.)
- 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.
Given that we only use standard `import`/`export` statements now, after recent PRs, the "exports" global is unused.
Instead we add "__non_webpack_import__" to the `globals` to avoid having to sprinkle disable statements throughout the code.
Finally, the way that `globals` are defined has changed in ESLint and we should thus explicitly specify them as "readonly"; please find additional details at https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/language-options#specifying-globals
This *finally* allows us to mark the entire PDF.js library as a "module", which should thus conclude the (multi-year) effort to re-factor and improve how we import files/resources in the code-base.
This also means that the `gulp ci-test` target, which is what's run in GitHub Actions, now uses JavaScript modules since that's supported in modern Node.js versions.
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.
This has been deprecated since version `2.15.349`, which is a year ago.
Removing this will also simplify some upcoming changes, specifically outputting of JavaScript modules in the builds.
This removes the only remaining old and non-standard handling of exports in the `web/`-folder, since some initial attempts at outputting JavaScript modules in the builds have identified this file as a potential problem.
While this uses a hard-coded list, for overall simplicity, I don't believe that that's a big problem since:
- Generating this file automatically would require a bunch more parsing *every single time* that the library is built.
- The official API-surface doesn't change often enough for this to really impede development in any significant way.
- The added unit-test helps ensure that this list cannot accidentally become outdated.
When there is no tree, the tags for the new annotions are just put under the root element.
When there is a tree, we insert the new tags at the right place in using the value
of structTreeParentId (added in PR #16916).
The unit test is re-enabled because it no longer seems to fail after 10
runs on Linux where this used to fail often. Code inspection also shows
that the code is correct and should raise the previous exception
(anymore). Finally, a lot has changed since this test was disabled such
as new Jasmine versions, new Linux bot OS version and new browser
versions.
Over time the amount of "document level" data potentially needed during parsing of Annotations have increased a fair bit, which means that we currently need to ensure that a bunch of data is available for each individual Annotation.
Given that this data is "constant" for a PDF document we can instead create (and cache) it lazily, only when needed, *before* starting to parse the Annotations on a page. This way the parsing of individual Annotations should become slightly less asynchronous, which really cannot hurt.
An additional benefit of these changes is that we can reduce the number of parameters that need to be explicitly passed around in the annotation-code, which helps overall readability in my opinion.
One potential drawback of these changes is that the `AnnotationFactory.create` method no longer handles "everything" on its own, however given how few call-sites there are I don't think that's too much of a problem.
The classes were stripped out during when creating the field name but
it led to a wrong name.
Since class components in a path are irrelevant, they're just ignored
when searching for a node in the datasets.
The issue described in the mentioned bug is reall because
Acrobat is rendering the XFA instead of the Acroform.
The original patch just tried to workaround the issue but it
induces some regressions.
Currently this unit-test will pass just fine if compression is disabled, e.g. by commenting out the relevant code in the `src/core/writer.js` file.
While we don't have a simple way of *directly* checking that the Annotation text-content is compressed, we can however use the resulting file-size as a fairly good proxy. (Note that if compression is disabled the file-size is more than doubled.)
Please note that for performance reasons it's not really advised to use the same worker-thread *in parallel* for parsing multiple PDF documents, since they will then unnecessarily compete for resources.
However, given that it's still possible to do that e.g. when using the global `workerPort` it probably won't hurt to add a unit-test for this particular situation.
Given that the `PDFDocumentLoadingTask.destroy()`-method is documented as being asynchronous, you thus need to await its completion before attempting to load a new PDF document when using the global `workerPort`.
If you don't await destruction as intended then a new `getDocument`-call can remain pending indefinitely, without any kind of indication of the problem, as shown in the issue.
In order to improve the current situation, without unnecessarily complicating the API-implementation, we'll now throw during the `getDocument`-call if the global `workerPort` is in the process of being destroyed.
This part of the code-base has apparently never been covered by any tests, hence the patch adds unit-tests for both the *correct* usage (awaiting destruction) as well as the specific case outlined in the issue.
Given that the FieldObjects are parsed in parallel, in combination with the existing caching in the `getPage`-method and `annotations`-getter, adding additional caches for this fallback code-path doesn't seem entirely necessary.
This method is very old, however with the exception of the auto-print hack (when scripting is disabled) in the viewer it's never actually been used.
Most likely the idea with `PDFDocumentProxy.getJavaScript` was that it'd be useful if scripting support was added, however it turned out that it was a bit too simplistic and instead a number of new methods were added for the scripting use-cases.
By leveraging import maps we can get rid of *most* of the remaining `require`-calls in the `src/display/`-folder, since we should strive to use modern `import`-statements wherever possible.
The only remaining cases are Node.js-specific dependencies, since those seem very difficult to convert unless we start producing a bundle *specifically* for Node.js environments.
With the changes in the previous patch the `isNodeJS`-helper no longer needs to live in its own file, which helps get rid of a closure in the *built* files.
Currently this class contains a few "special" code-paths for the COMPONENTS build-target, which normally wouldn't be a problem. However, in this particular case that means accessing code that we don't want to include unconditionally in all builds.
This is currently implemented using build-time `require`-calls which we nowadays want to avoid, and we should strive to remove all such cases from the code-base. (Generally speaking `import` is the future, and build-tools may not always play well with a mix of both formats.)
We can easily improve things here by using sub-classing for the COMPONENTS build-target, and then use the ability to re-name when exporting (to avoid breaking existing code).
The existing code is unable to *correctly* extract the color from the appearance-stream when the ColorSpace-data is "complex". To reproduce this:
- Open `freetexts.pdf` in the viewer.
- Note the purple color of the "Hello World from Preview" annotation.
- Enable any of the Editors.
- Note how the relevant annotation is now black.
When there was a rotation, the generated bbox was wrong because of an inversion
between width and height.
This patch aims to fix this issue in re-writing the FreeText code generation
to have something similar to what Acrobat does.
And fix the name of the font which wasn't the correct one when calling the
evaluator.
Rather than having to *manually* determine the potential `transfers` at various spots in the API, we can let the `AnnotationStorage.serializable` getter include this.
To further simplify things, we can also let the `serializable` getter compute and include the `hash`-string as well.
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.
It occurred to me that we can actually run this unit-test in Node.js environments by making use of the preprocessor to stub out the browser globals there.
Until now we've not actually had *any* tests that ensure that the *official* PDF.js-viewer API exposes the intended functionality, which means that things can easily break accidentally.
*Please note:* This unit-test cannot (easily) be run in Node.js-environments, since the `external/webL10n/l10n.js` file contains various browser-specific functionality.
Until now we've not actually had *any* tests that ensure that the *official* PDF.js API exposes the intended functionality, which means that things can easily break accidentally.
- 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.
Fix handling of /Filter-entries, since the current implementation could potentially corrupt the data if there's multiple filters present.
Please note that filters are applied *sequentially* during decoding, starting from the first one in the Array, hence the first Array-entry needs to be /FlateDecode in order for things to actually work correctly.
To prevent a future bug, if we want to save more "complex" data such as images, also ensure that we include any existing /DecodeParms-entries when updating the /Filter-entry.
