Unless the debugging tools (i.e. `PDFBug`) are enabled, or the `browsertest` is running, the `PDFPageProxy.stats` aren't actually used for anything.
Rather than initializing unnecessary `StatTimer` instances, we can simply re-use *one* dummy class (with static methods) for every page. Note that by using a dummy `StatTimer` in this way, rather than letting `PDFPageProxy.stats` be undefined, we don't need to guard *every* single stats collection callsite.
Since it wouldn't make much sense to attempt to use `PDFPageProxy.stats` when stat collection is disabled, it was instead changed to a "private" property (i.e. `PDFPageProxy._stats`) and a getter was added for accessing `PDFPageProxy.stats`. This getter will now return `null` when stat collection is disabled, making that case easy to handle.
For benchmarking purposes, the test-suite used to re-create the `StatTimer` after loading/rendering each page. However, modifying properties on various API code from the outside in this way seems very error-prone, and is an anti-pattern that we really should avoid at all cost. Hence the `PDFPageProxy.cleanup` method was modified to accept an optional parameter, which will take care of resetting `this.stats` when necessary, and `test/driver.js` was updated accordingly.
Finally, a tiny bit more validation was added on the viewer side, to ensure that all the code we're attempting to access is defined when handling `PDFPageProxy` stats.
This was added, during the refactoring in PR 8556, to avoid outright breaking third-party users of the default viewer.
With PDF.js version `2.0`, where we're making API changes that aren't backwards compatible, we ought to be able to remove this piece of viewer code as well.
We've never attempted to limit the errors displayed in the default viewer to the current PDF file, but that's not really been a problem before. However after PR 7926, it's now possible to get password related error messages for *previously* opened PDF files in the default viewer.
**STR:**
1. Open a password protected PDF file, e.g. `issue6010_1.pdf` from the test-suite.
2. Cancel the password prompt.
3. Open any new PDF file in the viewer.
**AR:**
The error UI is displayed, with a `No password given` message.
**ER:**
No error displayed, since it's only relevent for a now closed PDF file.
This is obviously a minor issue, caused by us now rejecting the still pending `pdfLoadingTask` during the `PDFViewerApplication.close` call, but I don't think that it (generally) makes sense to show errors if they're not relevant to the *currently* displayed PDF file.
In order to move viewer related options from the global `PDFJS` object and into the initialization of the relevant components, we'll need to parse the hash parameters *before* calling `PDFViewerApplication._initializeViewerComponents`.
The only reason for adding this parameter in the first place, all the way back in PR 4074, was that the "maintain document position on zooming" feature was landed and backed out a couple of times before it finally stuck.
Hence it seemed, at the time, like a good idea to have a simple way to disable that behaviour. However, that was almost four years ago, and it's just not likely that we'd want/need to ever disable it now.
Furthermore I really cannot imagine why anyone would actually *want* to reset the position whenever zooming occurs, since it results in a quite annoying UX.
*So, to summarize:* Based on the above, I think that we should try to remove this parameter now. On the off chance that anyone complains, re-adding it shouldn't be difficult.
By making use of modern CSS features, in this case [CSS variables](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Using_CSS_variables), implementing sidebar resizing is actually quite simple. Not only will the amount of added code be fairly small, but it should also be easy to maintain since there's no need for complicated JavaScript hacks in order to update the CSS. Another benefit is that the JavaScript code doesn't need to make detailed assumptions about the exact structure of the HTML/CSS code.
Obviously this will not work in older browsers, such as IE, that lack support for CSS variables. In those cases sidebar resizing is simply disabled (via feature detection), and the resizing DOM element hidden, and the behaviour is thus *identical* to the current (fixed-width) sidebar.
However, considering the simplicity of the implementation, I really don't see why limiting this feature to "modern" browsers is a problem.
Finally, note that a few edge-cases meant that the patch is a bit larger than what the basic functionality would dictate. Among those is first of all proper RTL support, and secondly (automatic) resizing of the sidebar when the width of the *entire* viewer changes. Another, pre-existing, issue fixed here is the incomplete interface of `NullL10n`.
*Please note:* This patch has been successfully tested in both LTR and RTL viewer locales, in recent versions of Firefox and Chrome.
Fixes 2072.
Nothing uses this option anymore, so setting it is a no-op now. We can
safely remove it.
Use `SKIP_BABEL` (instead of `PDFJS_NEXT`) now if you want to skip Babel
translation for a build.
If we want to (eventually) make it possible to resize the sidebar, then having its width indirectly affect the toolbar is going to wreck havoc on the media queries used to show/hide buttons in the main toolbar (since many of them depend on the toolbar state, and thus its width).
Updating all of the media queries dynamically with JavaScript seems like a non-starter, given that it'd cause *very* messy code. It thus seem to me that we'd need to fix the position of the sidebar, to have any hope of (in the short term) addressing issue 2072.
Hence, I'm suggesting that the we always layout the sidebar in a consistent vertical position, and only animate the `viewerContainer` rather than the entire `mainContainer`.
Fixes 4052.
Fixes bug 850591.
Some PDF files contain JavaScript actions that consist of nothing more that one, or possibly several, empty string(s). At least to me, printing a warning/showing the fallback seems completely unnecessary in that case.
Furthermore, this patch also makes use of an early `return`, so that we no longer will attempt to check for printing instructions when no JavaScript is present in the PDF file.
*Note:* It would perhaps make sense to change the API/core code, such that we ignore empty entries there instead. However, that would probably be considered a breaking changing with respect to backwards compatibility, hence this simple viewer only solution.
Fixes 5767.
This patch introduces an abstract `BaseViewer` class, that the existing `PDFViewer` then extends. *Please note:* This lays the necessary foundation for the next patch.
Rather that registering a 'change' event listener on the `window`, which will thus (unnecessarily) fire in *a number* of other situations such as e.g. when the user changes the pageNumber or the current search term, we could/should just register it directly on the dynamically created `fileInput` DOM element instead.
I can see no really compelling reason why we actually need to listen for `file` changes on the `window` itself, and this way we're also able to keep the `fileInput` related code confined to one part of the code which should aid readability.
Furthermore, in custom deployments, there's less risk that we're going to interfere with "outside" code this way.
Finally, preprocessor guards were added to the `webViewerOpenFile` function, since that code doesn't make sense in e.g. the extension builds.
This changes both `PDFViewer` and `PDFThumbnailViewer` to return early in the `pagesRotation` setters if the rotation doesn't change.
It also fixes an existing issue, in `PDFViewer`, that would cause errors if the rotation changes *before* the scale has been set to a non-default value.
Finally, in preparation for subsequent patches, it also refactors the rotation code in `web/app.js` to update the thumbnails and trigger rendering with the new `rotationchanging` event.
This patch completely re-implements `PDFHistory` to get rid of various bugs currently present, and to hopefully make maintenance slightly easier. Most of the interface is similar to the existing one, but it should be somewhat simplified.
The new implementation should be more robust against failure, compared to the old one. Previously, it was too easy to end up in a state which basically caused the browser history to lock-up, preventing the user from navigating back/forward. (In the new implementation, the browser history should not be updated rather than breaking if things go wrong.)
Given that the code has to deal with various edge-cases, it's still not as simple as I would have liked, but it should now be somewhat easier to deal with.
The main source of complication in the code is actually that we allow the user to change the hash of a already loaded document (we'll no longer try to navigate back-and-forth in this case, since the next commit contains a workaround).
In the new code, there's also *a lot* more comments (perhaps too many?) to attempt to explain the logic. This is something that the old implementation was serverly lacking, which is a one of the reasons why it was so difficult to maintain.
One particular thing to note is that the new code uses the `pagehide` event rather than `beforeunload`, since the latter seems to be a bad idea based on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1336763.
The current implementation of `PDFHistory` contains a number of smaller bugs, which are *very* difficult to address without breaking other parts of its code.
Possibly the main issue with the current implementation, is that I wrote it quite some time ago, and at the time my understanding of the various edge-cases the code has to deal with was quite limited.
Currently `PDFHistory` may, despite most of those cases being fixed, in certain edge-cases lock-up the browser history, essentially preventing the user from navigating back/forward.
Hence rather than trying to iterate on `PDFHistory` to make it better, the only viable approach is unfortunately rip it out in its entirety and re-write it from scratch.
*It appears that this accidentally broke with PR 8394.*
Currently, the following will be printed in the console:
```
An error occurred while loading the PDF.
[object Promise],[object Promise]
```
With this patch we'll again get proper output, e.g. something with this format:
```
An error occurred while loading the PDF.
PDF.js v? (build: ?)
Message: unknown encryption method
```
Since the very early days of the viewer, it's been possible to pass in a `scale` when opening a PDF file. However, most of the time it was/is actually being ignored, which limits its usefulness considerably.
In older versions of the viewer, if a document hash was present (i.e. `PDFViewerApplication.initialBookmark` being set) or if the document existed in the `ViewHistory`, the `scale` passed to `PDFViewerApplication.open` would thus always be ignored.
In addition to the above, in the current viewer there's even more cases where the `scale` parameter will be ignored: if a (valid) browser history entry exists on document load, or if the `defaultZoomValue` preference is set to a non-default value.
Hence the result is that in most situation, a `scale` passed to `PDFViewerApplication.open` will be completely ignored.
A much better, not to mention supported, way of setting the initial scale is by using the `defaultZoomLevel` preference. In comparision, this also has the advantage of being used in situations where the `scale` would be ignored.
All in all this leads to the current situation where we have code which is essentially dead, since no part of the viewer (by default) relies on it.
To clean up this code, and to avoid having to pass (basically) unused parameters around, I'd thus like to remove the ability to pass a `scale` to `PDFViewerApplication.open`.
Note that the PageMode, as specified in the API, will only be honoured when either: the user hasn't set the `sidebarViewOnLoad` preference to a non-default value, or a non-default `sidebarView` entry doesn't exist in the view history, or the "pagemode" hash parameter is included in the URL.
Since this is new functionality, the patch also includes a preference (`disablePageMode`), to make it easy to opt-out of this functionality if the user/implementor so wishes.
* Check for undefined
new URL(file, window.location.href) throws the following error in IE11 + iPad Safari:
Unable to get property 'replace' of undefined or null reference
* Adapting previous change to pdf.js code standards
Added curly braces
* Moved check for undefined above try/catch
Since we no longer, after PR 8555, allow changing the scale until the document is loaded, that hack is no longer necessary. Furthermore, no part of that event handling function needs to run unless a document is loaded.
The reason that this hack was initially added, is that previously the `ViewHistory` might be updated *before* `PDFViewerApplication.setInitialView` had run (in some cases leading to incorrect inital document scale). Since that is no longer possible, this is now dead code.
These changes consists mainly of replacing `var` with `let`/`const`, adding a couple of default parameters to function signatures, and finally converting `EventBus`/`ProgressBar` to proper classes.
Part of the rotation handling code, in what's now `web/app.js`, hasn't really changed since before the viewer was split into multiple files/components.
Similar to other properties, such as current page/scale, we should probably avoid tracking state in multiple places. Hence I'm suggesting that we don't store the rotation in `PDFViewerApplication`, and access the value in `PDFViewer` instead.
Since `PDFViewerApplication.pageRotation` has existed for a very long time, a getter was added to avoid outright breaking third-party code that may depend on it.
Since this call occurs *before* the `PDFViewer.setDocument` call, it won't actually cause any scale change.
Furthermore, moving it should not be necessary, since the `scale` is already used as the fallback case in `PDFViewerApplication.setInitialView` (provided it's non-zero, which isn't even the case in the default viewer).
Hence this patch should cause no functional changes at all, since it simply removes a piece of unnecessary code.
Currently, these properties are reset in what appears to be somewhat arbitrary locations (within the `load` and `open` methods respectively). The explanation is probably that both of these properties predates the existence of any centralized clean-up code in the viewer.
Hence I think that it makes sense to move the resetting of these properties to the `close` method, since that improves the overview of what's actually cleaned-up/reset when changing documents in the viewer.
With the current way that the `HandTool` is implemented, if someone would try to also add a Zoom tool (as issue 1260 asks for) that probably wouldn't work very well given that you'd then have two cursor tools which may not play nice together.
Hence this patch, which attempts to refactor things so that it should be simpler to add e.g. a Zoom tool as well (given that that issue is marked as "good-beginner-bug", and I'm not sure if that really applies considering the current state of the code).
Note that I personally have no interest in implementing a Zoom tool (similar to Adobe Reader) since I wouldn't use it, but I figured that it can't hurt to make this code a bit more future proof.
Also replaces `var` with `let` in the functions/methods that are touched in the patch. Please note that this should be completely safe, for two separate reasons, since trying to access `let` in a scope where it's not defined is first of all a runtime error and second of all an ESLint error (thanks to the `no-undef` rule).
This patch contains the following improvements:
- Only fetch the various document properties *once* per PDF file opened, and cache the result (in a frozen object).
- Always update the *entire* dialog at once, to prevent inconsistent UI state (issue 8371).
- Ensure that the dialog, and all its internal properties, are reset when `PDFViewerApplication.close` is called.
- Inline, and re-factor, the `getProperties` method in `open`, since that's the only call-site.
- Always overwrite the fileSize with the value obtained from `pdfDocument.getDownloadInfo`, to ensure that it's correct.
- ES6-ify the code that's touched in this patch.
Fixes 8371.
