In order to implement this, we utilize the existing `bidi` function to infer the text-direction of /T and /Contents entries. While this may not be perfect in cases where one PopupAnnotation mixes LTR and RTL languages, it should work well enough in most cases.
To avoid having to add *two new* properties in lots of annotations, supplementing the existing `title`/`contents`-properties, this patch instead re-factors the existing code such that the properties are replaced by Objects (containing `str` and `dir`).
*Please note:* In order avoid breaking existing third-party implementations, `GENERIC`-builds of the PDF.js library will still provide the old `title`/`contents`-properties on annotations returned by `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations`.
- In the pdf in issue #14071, some select fields don't contain any values;
- the corresponding node has a bindItems and a bind elements and _bindItems function was just not called.
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.
This replaces direct `document.getElementsByName` lookups with a helper method which:
- Lets the AnnotationLayer use the data returned by the `PDFDocumentProxy.getFieldObjects` API-method, such that we can directly lookup only the necessary DOM elements.
- Fallback to using `document.getElementsByName` as before, such that e.g. the standalone viewer components still work.
Finally, to fix the problems reported in issue 14003, regardless of the code-path we now also enforce that the DOM elements found were actually created by the AnnotationLayer code.
With these changes we'll thus be able to update form elements on all visible pages just as before, but we'll additionally update the AnnotationStorage for not-yet-rendered elements thus fixing a pre-existing bug.
*This is similar to the "isSymbolicFont"-property, which is no longer exported by default after PR 11777.*
Both "isMonospace" and "isSerifFont" are internal properties, used during font parsing and building of the glyph mapping on the worker-thread.
However both of these properties are completely unused on the main-thread and/or in the API, and accessing them they will now require setting the `fontExtraProperties`-option when calling `getDocument`.
With this patch we'll ensure that only valid absolute URLs can be used in XFA documents, similar to the existing validation done for "regular" PDF documents.
Furthermore, we'll also attempt to add a default protocol (i.e. `http`) to URLs beginning with "www." in XFA documents as well; this on its own is enough to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1731240
Rather than re-computing this value in a number of different places throughout the code-base[1], we can expose this in the API via the existing `PixelsPerInch`-structure instead.
There's also been feature requests asking for the old `CSS_UNITS` viewer constant to be made accessible, such that it could be used in third-party implementations.
I suppose that it could be argued that it's somewhat confusing to place a unitless property in `PixelsPerInch`, however given that the `PDF_TO_CSS_UNITS`-property is defined strictly in terms of the existing properties this is hopefully deemed reasonable.

- The viewer, with the `CSS_UNITS` name.
- The reference-tests.
- The display-layer, when rendering images; see PR 13991.
Currently we only exclude /Encoding entries that also contains a /Differences array, which is the cause of the text-selection problem in the referenced issue.
In order to address this we'll now also exclude /Encoding entries that contain one of the predefined *named* encodings, and no longer require that it also contains a /Differences array.
*Please note:* This patch cases a small "regression" in the `bug1130815-text` test-case, however this is actually an improvement when compared with Adobe Reader and PDFium (in Google Chrome).
- it aims to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1719148;
- JS can set a property for a non-rendered annotation using the annotationStorage but the other unset default properties must be used when the annotation is finally rendered;
- so this patch just adds the properties already set in the annotationStorage to the default value.
This reduces some unnecessary duplication, since we currently have essentially the same code in a handful of places in the `Font.fallbackToSystemFont`-method.
In this particular case the `CMap`-data that we create contains only numbers, but no strings, which causes `PartialEvaluator.readToUnicode` to create a ToUnicode-map with only empty strings.
*Please note:* This is yet another case where I don't know if it's necessarily the best and most correct solution, but it does fix the referenced issue.
- it aims to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1722036.
- AS and V should share the same value for checkbox: it's at least what the specs say;
- the pdf in the above bug opens correctly in Acrobat so it likely means that AS is chosen over V.
- it aims to fix#14024.
- this patch adds an attribute `acroformExportValue` to the HTML input in order to set the checked attribute in taking into account the exportValue for the checkboxes with the same name.
*Please note:* All of this feels very handwavy, but at least it passes all tests locally. Hopefully we have enough tests for this part of the font code.
For non-embedded composite standard fonts with an "incomplete" /CIDToGIDMap, we'll now fallback to an *explicitly defined* /ToUnicode map even when that one happens to be an /Identity-H or /Identity-V map.
The `Font.fallbackToSystemFont` method is unfortunately getting more and more special-cases, however that might be unavoidable given all the weird non-embedded fonts found in the wild :-(
While these types apparently makes sense in TypeScript environments, we really don't want to extend the *public* API by simply exporting the relevant classes directly in `src/pdf.js` (since they should never be called/initialized manually).
Please see e.g. issue 12384 where this was first requested, and note that a possible work-around was also provided there. This patch simply implements that work-around[1], which will hopefully be helpful to TypeScript users.

[1] Based on the discussion in PR 13957, the two previous patches appear to be necessary for this to actually work.
*This fixes something that I noticed, having recently looked at both the `Lexer.getObj` and `writeValue` code.*
Please note that I unfortunately don't have an example of a form where saving fails without this patch. However, given its overall simplicity and that unit-tests are added, it's hopefully deemed useful to fix this potential issue pro-actively rather than waiting for a bug report.
At this point one might, and rightly so, wonder if there's actually any real-world PDF documents where a `null` value is being used?
Unfortunately the answer is *yes*, and we have a couple of examples in the test-suite (although none of those are related to forms); please see: `issue1015`, `issue2642`, `issue10402`, `issue12823`, `issue13823`, and `pr12564`.
While some of the output looks worse to my eye, this behavior more
closely matches what I see when I open the PDFs in Adobe acrobat.
Fixes: #4706, #9713, #8245, #1344
