The size of the `src/core/obj.js` file has increased slowly over the years, and it also contains a fair amount of *distinct* functionality.
In order to improve readability and make it easier to navigate through the code, this patch moves the `ObjectLoader` into its own file.
Given that this only an internal helper method, used by the `Catalog.{javaScript, jsActions}` getters, this change simplifies iteration of the returned data.
We can also (slightly) re-factor the code of the `jsActions` getter, and remove an obsolete[1] JSDoc-comment from the `openAction` getter.

[1] Not really relevant now that we've got proper scripting support.
When a PDF is "marked" we now generate a separate DOM that represents
the structure tree from the PDF. This DOM is inserted into the <canvas>
element and allows screen readers to walk the tree and have more
information about headings, images, links, etc. To link the structure
tree DOM (which is empty) to the text layer aria-owns is used. This
required modifying the text layer creation so that marked items are
now tracked.
Now that we have scripting support, warning about e.g. JavaScript actions doesn't seem necessary anymore. Especially considering that scripting-related actions are/will not be parsed by the `Catalog.parseDestDictionary` method anyway, since it's intended for handling "simple" actions.
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 following checks are all unneeded, and could easily cause confusion when reading the code. (All of them are my fault as well, since I've sometimes added those checks without really thinking about the surrounding code.)
- In `PartialEvaluator.hasBlendModes` there cannot be any `MissingDataException`s thrown, given that the `Page.getOperatorList` method waits for all the necessary /Resources to load first. Furthermore, note also that if an error is thrown from `PartialEvaluator.hasBlendModes` then it'd completely break rendering of that page, since any errors thrown from `Page.getOperatorList` are simply sent to the main-thread.
- In `PartialEvaluator.handleColorN` there cannot be any `MissingDataException`s thrown, given that again the `Page.getOperatorList` method waits for all the necessary /Resources to load before operatorList parsing starts.
- In `XRef.readXRef` there cannot be any `MissingDataException`s thrown, given that we're *explicitly* requesting (and waiting for) the entire document in `pdfManagerReady` (in `src/core/worker.js`) before re-parsing of a corrupt document starts.
*As far as I can tell, this has been broken ever since PR 3289 (back in 2013) without anyone noticing.*
For any non-`MissingDataException` errors encountered in `ObjectLoader._walk`, we're simply throwing immediately which thus has the potential to *completely* break rendering of an entire page.
In practice this is obviously only an issue for PDF documents which are in one way or another corrupt, since that's the only way that `XRef.fetch` will throw non-`MissingDataException` errors. To make matters worse these errors are *intermittent*, since they can only occur if the document is still loading when the `ObjectLoader`-code runs (note the early return in `ObjectLoader.load`).
Please note that we cannot simply catch the error and let "normal" parsing continue in `ObjectLoader._walk`, since that could lead to errors elsewhere given that resources "below" the current one (in the graph) might not be checked as intended then.
All-in-all, the only way to make absolutely sure that we won't cause *unexpected* `MissingDataException`s somewhere else in the code-base is to fallback to fetching the *entire* document in this edge-case.
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
In addition to the existing /Root and /Pages validation, also check that the /Pages-entry actually is a dictionary and that it has a valid /Count-entry.
This way we can avoid picking a trailer candidate which e.g. the `Catalog.numPages` getter will just end up rejecting, thus breaking PDF document loading completely.
The `PartialEvaluator.hasBlendModes` method is necessary to determine if there's any blend modes on a page, which unfortunately requires *synchronous* parsing of the /Resources of each page before its rendering can start (see the "StartRenderPage"-message).
In practice it's not uncommon for certain /Resources-entries to be found on more than one page (referenced via the XRef-table), which thus leads to unnecessary re-fetching/re-parsing of data in `PartialEvaluator.hasBlendModes`.
To improve performance, especially in pathological cases, we can cache /Resources-entries when it's absolutely clear that they do not contain *any* blend modes at all[1]. This way, subsequent `PartialEvaluator.hasBlendModes` calls can be made significantly more efficient.
This patch was tested using the PDF file from issue 6961, i.e. https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/files/121712/test.pdf:
```

which gave the following results when comparing this patch against the `master` branch:

[1] In the case where blend modes *are* found, it becomes a lot more difficult to know if it's generally safe to skip /Resources-entries. Hence we don't cache anything in that case, however note that most document/pages do not utilize blend modes anyway.
Given that the `Map`-pattern apparently has undesirable performance characteristics, change this getter back to using an Object instead and check its size before returning it.
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 *all* fonts are, ever since PR 7347, now cached in the "normal" `fontCache` there's actually no reason for the special `font.translated` construction. (Given how Objects in JavaScript are references, rather than raw values, the old code shouldn't have caused any significant memory overhead.)
Instead we can simply store the `cacheKey`, which is a simple string, on only the Font `Dict`s where it's needed and thus look-up all fonts using the `fontCache` instead.
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.
The `/Order` array is used to improve the display of Optional Content groups in PDF viewers, and it allows a PDF document to e.g. specify that Optional Content groups should be displayed as a (collapsable) tree-structure rather than as just a list.
Note that not all available Optional Content groups must be present in the `/Order` array, and PDF viewers will often (by default) hide those toggles in the UI.
To allow us to improve the UX around toggling of Optional Content groups, in the default viewer, these hidden-by-default groups are thus appended to the parsed `/Order` array under a *custom* nesting level (with `name == null`).
Finally, the patch also slightly tweaks an `OptionalContentConfig` related JSDoc-comment in the API.
Not only is `catDict` never accessed anymore outside of this file, it
should also never happen since it's internal to the catalog. If data
from it is needed elsewhere, the catalog should provide a getter for it
that can do basic data integrity checks and abstract away any
unnecessary details.
The `AcroForm` entry is part of the catalog, not of the document, so its
logic should be placed there instead. The document should look in the
catalog to fetch it, and not have knowledge of `catDict`, which is a
member internal to the catalog.
Moreover, make the AcroForm member private on the document instance. It's
only used internally and was also never intended to be public. For users
it's exposed by the `getMetadata` API endpoint as `IsAcroFormPresent`.
Only a boolean is exposed, so we now also only store the boolean on the
document instance.
Finally, the annotation code needs access to the full AcroForm
dictionary, so it's updated to fetch the data from the catalog instead
of the document that now only holds the boolean.
The `Collection` entry is part of the catalog, not of the document, so
its logic should be placed there instead. The document should look in the
catalog to fetch it, and not have knowledge of `catDict`, which is a
member internal to the catalog.
Moreover, remove the collection member from the document instance. It's
only used internally and was also never intended to be public. For users
it's exposed by the `getMetadata` API endpoint as `IsCollectionPresent`.
Moving this out of the `parse` function makes sure that the getter is
only executed if the document information is actually requested
(potentially making initial parsing a tiny bit faster).
The `Version` entry is part of the catalog, not of the document, so its
logic should be placed there instead. The document should look in the
catalog to fetch it, and not have knowledge of `catDict`, which is a
member internal to the catalog.
Moreover, make the version member private on the document instance. It's
only used internally and was also never intended to be public. For users
it's exposed by the `getMetadata` API endpoint as `PDFFormatVersion`.
Finally, clarify how the version from the header and the version from
the catalog are treated using a comment.
Add a new method to the API to get the optional content configuration. Add
a new render task param that accepts the above configuration.
For now, the optional content is not controllable by the user in
the viewer, but renders with the default configuration in the PDF.
All of the test files added exhibit different uses of optional content.
Fixes#269.
Fix test to work with optional content.
- Change the stopAtErrors test to ensure the operator list has something,
instead of asserting the exact number of operators.
When the old `Dict.getAll()` method was removed, it was replaced with a `Dict.getKeys()` call and `Dict.get(...)` calls (in a loop).
While this pattern obviously makes a lot of sense in many cases, there's some instances where we actually want the *raw* `Dict` values (i.e. `Ref`s where applicable). In those cases, `Dict.getRaw(...)` calls are instead used within the loop. However, by introducing a new `Dict.getRawValues()` method we can reduce the number of (strictly unnecessary) function calls by simply getting the *raw* `Dict` values directly.
When "Cleanup" is triggered, you obviously need to remove all globally cached data on *both* the main- and worker-threads.
However, the current the implementation of the `GlobalImageCache.clear` method also means that we lose *all* information about which images were cached and not just their data. This thus has the somewhat unfortunate side-effect of requiring images, which were previously known to be "global", to *again* having to reach `NUM_PAGES_THRESHOLD` before being cached again.
To avoid doing unnecessary parsing after "Cleanup", we can thus let `GlobalImageCache.clear` keep track of which images were cached while still removing their actual data. This should not have any significant impact on memory usage, since the only extra thing being kept is a `RefSetCache` (essentially an Object) with a couple of `Set`s containing only integers.
Currently image resources, as opposed to e.g. font resources, are handled exclusively on a page-specific basis. Generally speaking this makes sense, since pages are separate from each other, however there's PDF documents where many (or even all) pages actually references exactly the same image resources (through the XRef table). Hence, in some cases, we're decoding the *same* images over and over for every page which is obviously slow and wasting both CPU and memory resources better used elsewhere.[1]
Obviously we cannot simply treat all image resources as-if they're used throughout the entire PDF document, since that would end up increasing memory usage too much.[2]
However, by introducing a `GlobalImageCache` in the worker we can track image resources that appear on more than one page. Hence we can switch image resources from being page-specific to being document-specific, once the image resource has been seen on more than a certain number of pages.
In many cases, such as e.g. the referenced issue, this patch will thus lead to reduced memory usage for image resources. Scrolling through all pages of the document, there's now only a few main-thread copies of the same image data, as opposed to one for each rendered page (i.e. there could theoretically be *twenty* copies of the image data).
While this obviously benefit both CPU and memory usage in this case, for *very* large image data this patch *may* possibly increase persistent main-thread memory usage a tiny bit. Thus to avoid negatively affecting memory usage too much in general, particularly on the main-thread, the `GlobalImageCache` will *only* cache a certain number of image resources at the document level and simply fallback to the default behaviour.
Unfortunately the asynchronous nature of the code, with ranged/streamed loading of data, actually makes all of this much more complicated than if all data could be assumed to be immediately available.[3]
*Please note:* The patch will lead to *small* movement in some existing test-cases, since we're now using the built-in PDF.js JPEG decoder more. This was done in order to simplify the overall implementation, especially on the main-thread, by limiting it to only the `OPS.paintImageXObject` operator.
---
[1] There's e.g. PDF documents that use the same image as background on all pages.
[2] Given that data stored in the `commonObjs`, on the main-thread, are only cleared manually through `PDFDocumentProxy.cleanup`. This as opposed to data stored in the `objs` of each page, which is automatically removed when the page is cleaned-up e.g. by being evicted from the cache in the default viewer.
[3] If the latter case were true, we could simply check for repeat images *before* parsing started and thus avoid handling *any* duplicate image resources.
Having `assert` calls without a message string isn't very helpful when debugging, and it turns out that it's easy enough to make use of ESLint to enforce better `assert` call-sites.
In a couple of cases the `assert` calls were changed to "regular" throwing of errors instead, since that seemed more appropriate.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-restricted-syntax
This patch fixes yet another instalment in the never-ending series of "what the *bleep* was I thinking", by changing the `PDFDocumentProxy.getViewerPreferences` method to return `null` by default.
Not only is this method now consistent with many other API methods, for the data not present case, but it also avoids having to e.g. loop through an object to check if it's actually empty (note the old unit-test).
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).
Given the way that "classes" were previously implemented in PDF.js, using regular functions and closures, there's a fair number of false positives when the `no-shadow` ESLint rule was enabled.
Note that while *some* of these `eslint-disable` statements can be removed if/when the relevant code is converted to proper `class`es, we'll probably never be able to get rid of all of them given our naming/coding conventions (however I don't really see this being a problem).
*This is part of a series of patches that will try to split PR 11566 into smaller chunks, to make reviewing more feasible.*
Once all the code has been fixed, we'll be able to eventually enable the ESLint no-shadow rule; see https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-shadow
This patch deprecates the existing `getOpenActionDestination` API method, in favor of a better and more general `getOpenAction` method instead. (For now JavaScript actions, related to printing, are still handled as before.)
By clearly separating "regular" Print actions from the JavaScript handling, it's thus possible to get rid of the somewhat annoying and strictly incorrect warning when the viewer loads.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/prefer-const
With the recent introduction of Prettier this sort of mass enabling of ESLint rules becomes a lot easier, since the code will be automatically reformatted as necessary to account for e.g. changed line lengths.
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).
In order to eventually get rid of SystemJS and start using native `import`s instead, we'll need to provide "complete" file identifiers since otherwise there'll be MIME type errors when attempting to use `import`.
Note that Prettier, purposely, has only limited [configuration options](https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html). The configuration file is based on [the one in `mozilla central`](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/.prettierrc) with just a few additions (to avoid future breakage if the defaults ever changes).
Prettier is being used for a couple of reasons:
- To be consistent with `mozilla-central`, where Prettier is already in use across the tree.
- To ensure a *consistent* coding style everywhere, which is automatically enforced during linting (since Prettier is used as an ESLint plugin). This thus ends "all" formatting disussions once and for all, removing the need for review comments on most stylistic matters.
Many ESLint options are now redundant, and I've tried my best to remove all the now unnecessary options (but I may have missed some).
Note also that since Prettier considers the `printWidth` option as a guide, rather than a hard rule, this patch resorts to a small hack in the ESLint config to ensure that *comments* won't become too long.
*Please note:* This patch is generated automatically, by appending the `--fix` argument to the ESLint call used in the `gulp lint` task. It will thus require some additional clean-up, which will be done in a *separate* commit.
(On a more personal note, I'll readily admit that some of the changes Prettier makes are *extremely* ugly. However, in the name of consistency we'll probably have to live with that.)
There's a fair number of (primarily) `Array`s/`TypedArray`s whose formatting we don't want disturb, since in many cases that would lead to the code becoming much more difficult to read and/or break existing inline comments.
*Please note:* It may be a good idea to look through these cases individually, and possibly re-write some of the them (especially the `String` ones) to reduce the need for all of these ignore commands.
Given that the error in question is surfaced on the API-side, this patch makes the following changes:
- Updates the wording such that it'll hopefully be slightly easier for users to understand.
- Changes the plain `Error` to an `InvalidPDFException` instead, since that should work better with the existing Error handling.
- Adds a unit-test which loads an empty PDF document (and also improves a pre-existing `InvalidPDFException` message and its test-case).
Given how this method is currently used there shouldn't be any fonts loaded at the point in time where it's called, but it does seem like a bad idea to assume that that's always going to be the case. Since `PDFDocument.checkFirstPage` is already asynchronous, it's easy enough to simply await `Catalog.cleanup` here.
(The patch also makes a tiny simplification in a loop in `Catalog.cleanup`.)
Note that the XRef cache will only hold objects returned through `Parser.getObj`, and indirectly via `Lexer.getObj`. Since neither of those methods will ever return `undefined`, we can simply `assert` that when inserting objects into the cache and thus get rid of one function call when doing cache lookups.
Obviously this won't have a huge effect on performance, however `XRef.fetch` is usually called *a lot* in larger documents and this patch thus cannot hurt.
I'm slightly surprised that this hasn't actually caused any (known) bugs, but that may be more luck than anything else since it fortunately doesn't seem common for Streams to be defined inside of an 'ObjStm'.[1]
Note that in the `XRef.fetchUncompressed` method we're *not* caching Streams, and that for very good reasons too.
- Streams, especially the `DecodeStream` ones, can become *very* large once read. Hence caching them really isn't a good idea simply because of the (potential) memory impact of doing so.
- Attempting to read from the *same* Stream more than once won't work, unless it's `reset` in between, since using any method such as e.g. `getBytes` always starts at the current data position.
- Given that even the `src/core/` code is now fairly asynchronous, see e.g. the `PartialEvaluator`, it's generally impossible to assert that any one Stream isn't being accessed "concurrently" by e.g. different `getOperatorList` calls. Hence `reset`-ing a cached Streams isn't going to work in the general case.
All in all, I cannot understand why it'd ever be correct to cache Streams in the `XRef.fetchCompressed` method.
---
[1] One example where that happens is the `issue3115r.pdf` file in the test-suite, where the streams in question are not actually used for anything within the PDF.js code.
- Change all occurences of `var` to `let`/`const`.
- Initialize the (temporary) Arrays with the correct sizes upfront.
- Inline the `isCmd` check. Obviously this won't make a huge difference, but given that the check is only relevant for corrupt documents it cannot hurt.
