Restrict the scrollbar hack to the keycode for "spacebar",
since the bug only occurs in Firefox with spacebar.
Keyboard navigation is only activated for the spacebar if
the currently focused element is not a button.
These lines were introduced in 612f59aa10
when the only shortcuts were +/-/=/0 (to change zoom level).
Back then, when the input fields were focused, using these keys would
add these unwanted characters to the input field and change the zoom
level of the viewer. Having both operations at the same time was an
undesired event, so a check was inserted, to ignore shortcuts when
the toolbar is focused.
The #toolbar element doesn't exist any more, so these lines are obsolete.
The PDF Viewer will always be rendered directly from the extension,
so checking "origin == chrome-extension:/.." is not needed any more.
( since edd4bae903 )
This method captures all application/pdf streams, loads the viewer
and passes the stream to the PDF.js viewer.
This commit shows a proof of concept using the chrome.streamsPrivate API.
Advantages of new method:
- Access to the response body of the original request, thus fewer
network requests.
- PDFs from non-GET requests (e.g. POST) are now supported.
- FTP files are also supported.
Possible improvements:
- Use declared content scripts instead of dynamic chrome.tabs.executeScript.
This allows the extension to render the viewer in frames when the
extension is disallowed to run executeScript for the top URL.
- Use chrome.declarativeWebRequest instead of webRequest, and replace
background page with event page (don't forget to profile the
difference & will the background/event page still work as intended?).
In Chromium extensions, the viewer's URL looks like this:
chrome-extension://oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/http://example.com/file.pdf
Furthermore, the PDF Viewer itself can also add something to the reference fragment:
chrome-extension://oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/http://example.com/file.pdf#page=2
Consequently, it is difficult to copy a clean URL (e.g. for sharing over mail)
without having to tidy-up the URL manually.
This commit solves this issue by adding a button to the omnibox,
which shows the clean PDF URL on click.
The logic for the hand tool is implemented in a separate project,
maintained at https://github.com/Rob--W/grab-to-pan.js
Integration notes
- Added toggle as an entry under the Secondary toolbar
- Added shortcut "h" to toggle hand tool (to-do: document this in wiki
after merge). This shortcut is also used in Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
To-do: localizations for:
hand_tool_enable.title=
hand_tool_enable_label=
hand_tool_disable.title=
hand_tool_disable_label=
To-do (wish): persistence of hand tool preference, preferably a global setting.

Before commit:
chrome-extension://EXTENSIONID/content/web/viewer.html?file=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Ffile.pdf
After commit:
chrome-extension://EXTENSIONID/http://example/file.pdf
Technical details:
- The extension's background page uses the webRequest API to intercept
requests for <extension host>/<real path to pdf>, and redirect it to
the viewer's URL.
- viewer.js uses history.replaceState to rewrite the URL, so that it's
easier for users to recognize and copy-paste URLs.
- The fake paths /http:, /https:, /file:, etc. have been added to the
web_accessible_resources section of the manifest file, in order to
avoid seeing chrome-extension://invalid/ instead of the actual URL
when using history back/forward to navigate from/to the PDF viewer.
- Since the relative path resolving doesn't work because relative URLs
are inaccurate, a <base> tag has been added. This method has already
been proven to work in the Firefox add-on.
Notes:
- This commit has been cherry-picked from crx-using-streams-api.
- Need to merge https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/3582 to deal with
a bug in Chrome <=30
- In Chrome, getting the contents of a FTP file is not possible, so
there's no support for FTP files, even though the extension router
recognizes the ftp: scheme.
This shim does the following:
1. Intercept window.print()
2. For a window.print() call (if allowed, ie. no previous print job):
1. Dispatch the beforeprint event.
2. Render a printg progress dialog.
3. For each canvas, call mozPrintCallback if existent (one at a time, async).
4. During each mozPrintCallback callback, update the progress dialog.
5. When all <canvas>es have been rendered, invoke the real window.print().
6. Dispatch the afterprint event.
The shim is not included in Firefox through the preprocessor.
Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl/Cmd + P) are intercepted and default behavior
(i.e. printing) is prevented, and the steps for window.print() are run.
window.attachEvent is used, in order to cancel printing in IE10 and
earlier (courtesy of Stack Overflow - http://stackoverflow.com/a/15302847).
Unfortunately, this doesn't work in IE11 - if Ctrl + P is used, the
print dialog will be shown twice: Once because of Ctrl + P, and again
when all pages have finished rendering.
This logic of this polyfill is not specific to PDF.js, so it can also
be used in other projects.
There's one additional modification in PDF.js's viewer.js: The printed
<canvas> element is wrapped in a <div>. This is needed, because Chrome
would otherwise print one canvas on two pages.
