- Some js files contain scale factors for each glyph in order to rescale Liberation to have a final font with the correct width.
- A lot of XFA have some containers where their dimensions are based on their text content, so using default font from browser can lead to an almost unreadable pdf.
This patch uses the new option added in PR 12726 to *also* allow fetching binary CMap data directly in the worker-thread in browsers.
Given that these changes remove the need to transfer data between threads for the default (browser) use-case, we can also revert the changes in PR 11118 since that simplifies the overall implementation.
This is necessary now, since with the previous patch the /FontBBox potentially depends on the contents of the /CharProcs-streams.
Note that if `getOperatorList` is called *before* `getTextContent`, this patch doesn't matter since the font is already fully loaded/parsed. However, for e.g. the `text` test-cases this is necessary to ensure correct reference images.
For Type3 fonts where the /CharProcs-streams of the individual glyph starts with a `d1` operator, we can use that to build a fallback bounding box for the font and thus improve text-selection in some cases.
The building of glyph paths, in the `FontRendererFactory`, can fail in various ways for corrupt font data. However, we're currently not attempting to handle any such errors in the evaluator, which means that a single broken glyph *can* prevent an entire page from rendering.
To address this we simply have to pass along, and check, the existing `ignoreErrors` option in `PartialEvaluator.buildFontPaths` similar to the rest of the `PartialEvaluator` code.
As can be seen in PR 13371, some of the `no-var` changes in the `PartialEvaluator.{getOperatorList, getTextContent}` methods caused errors in `gulp server`-mode.
However, there's a handful of instances of `var` in other methods which should be completely *safe* to convert since there's no strange scope-issues present in that code.
This reverts commit 0ef9b5aafc, since it cases a lot of warnings (see below) *locally* with e.g. the document from issue 9627.
Strangely enough, this only occurs with `gulp server`-mode and the actual builds are apparently fine. It seems that this *may* be some unfortunate interaction with the old Babel-plugin that's used together with SystemJS.
```
Warning: getTextContent - ignoring ExtGState: "FormatError: ExtGState should be a dictionary.".
```
Rather than taking the risk that this could actually cover a more serious bug, and since I cannot immediately figure out what's wrong, it thus seem safest to revert this for now and we can (carefully) revisit this once SystemJS has been removed (see PR 12563).
Compared to other data-structures, such as e.g. `Dict`s, we're purposely *not* caching Streams on the `XRef`-instance.[1]
The, somewhat unfortunate, effect of Streams not being cached is that repeatedly getting the *same* Stream-data requires re-parsing/re-initializing of a bunch of data; see `XRef.fetch` and related methods.
For the font-parsing in particular we're currently fetching the `toUnicode`-data, which is very often a Stream, in `PartialEvaluator.preEvaluateFont` and then *again* in `PartialEvaluator.extractDataStructures` soon afterwards.
By instead letting `PartialEvaluator.preEvaluateFont` export the "raw" `toUnicode`-data, we can avoid *some* unnecessary re-parsing/re-initializing when handling fonts.
*Please note:* In this particular case, given that `PartialEvaluator.preEvaluateFont` only accesses the "raw" `toUnicode` data, exporting a Stream should be safe.
---
[1] The reasons for this include:
- Streams, especially `DecodeStream`-instances, 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-instance 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 parsing, even in the worker-thread, is now fairly asynchronous it's generally impossible to assert that any one Stream-instance isn't being accessed "concurrently" by e.g. different `getOperatorList` calls. Hence `reset`-ing a cached Stream-instance isn't going to work in the general case.
Rather than re-fetching/re-parsing these properties immediately in `PartialEvaluator.translateFont`, we can simply export them instead. (Obviously the effect will be really tiny, but there is less parsing overall this way.)
*Please note:* While I don't have a document that this patches fixes, the current code is however not entirely correct as far as I can tell.
Looking at how the `Widths` array is parsed in `PartialEvaluator.extractWidths`, it's clear that the implementation in `PartialEvaluator.preEvaluateFont` is a bit too simplistic. In particular, by only wrapping the data into a TypedArray, there's no attempt to handle *indirect* objects which could potentially lead to colliding `hash`es being computed.
To hopefully help prevent any future bugs, make sure that composite/non-composite fonts cannot accidentally get matching `hash`es. Given the differences between those font types, that's very unlikely to be useful or even correct in general.
Without this some *composite* fonts may incorrectly end up with matching `hash`es, thus breaking rendering since we'll not actually try to load/parse some of the fonts.
*Please note:* Given that the document, in the referenced issue, doesn't embed *any* of its fonts there's no guarantee that it renders correctly in all configurations even with this patch.
- `FontFlags`, is used in both `src/core/fonts.js` and `src/core/evaluator.js`.
- `getFontType`, same as the above.
- `MacStandardGlyphOrdering`, is a fairly large data-structure and `src/core/fonts.js` is already a *very* large file.
- `recoverGlyphName`, a dependency of `type1FontGlyphMapping`; please see below.
- `SEAC_ANALYSIS_ENABLED`, is used by both `Type1Font`, `CFFFont`, and unit-tests; please see below.
- `type1FontGlyphMapping`, is used by both `Type1Font` and `CFFFont` which a later patch will move to their own files.
- Improve chunking in order to fix some bugs where the spaces aren't here:
* track the last position where a glyph has been drawn;
* when a new glyph (first glyph in a chunk) is added then compare its position with the last saved one and add a space or break:
- there are multiple ways to move the glyphs and to avoid to have to deal with all the different possibilities it's a way easier to just compare positions;
- and so there is now one function (i.e. "compareWithLastPosition") where all the job is done.
- Add some breaks in order to get lines;
- Remove the multiple whites spaces:
* some spaces were filled with several whites spaces and so it makes harder to find some sequences of words using the search tool;
* other pdf readers replace spaces by one white space.

Using `for...of` is a modern and generally much nicer pattern, since it gets rid of unnecessary callback-functions. (In a couple of spots, a "regular" `for` loop had to be used.)
- Different fonts can be used in xfa and some of them are embedded in the pdf.
- Load all the fonts in window.document.

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.
Given that what we actually want is only to keep track of the loadedFont-names, rather than storing any actual data, using an object isn't really necessary here. Furthermore, in the current code, we're also using `in` when checking if the data exists, which is generally less efficient than just checking for the value directly.
Currently the `fontName`-property contains an actual /Name-instance, which is a problem given that its fallback value is an empty string; see ca7f546828/src/core/default_appearance.js (L35)
The reason that this is a problem can be seen in ca7f546828/src/core/primitives.js (L30-L34), since an empty string short-circuits the cache. Essentially, in PDF documents, a /Name-instance cannot be empty and the way that the `DefaultAppearanceEvaluator` does things is unfortunately not entirely correct.
Hence the `fontName`-property is changed to instead contain a string, rather than a /Name-instance, which simplifies the code overall.
*Please note:* I'm tagging this patch with "[api-minor]", since PR 12831 is included in the current pre-release (although we're not using the `fontName`-property in the display-layer).
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.
The *third* page of the referenced PDF document currently fails to render completely, since one of its font files fail to load.
Since that error isn't handled, a large part of the text is thus missing which looks quite bad. By "replacing" the font data with an *empty* stream, we'll thus be able to fallback to rendering the text with a standard font (instead of using `ErrorFont`). While there's obviously no guarantee that things will look perfect, actually rendering the text at all should be an improvement in general.
Also, print a warning in `PartialEvaluator.loadFont` when the `PartialEvaluator.translateFont` method rejects, since that'd have helped debug/fix the issue faster.
Given that we'll only cache `/XObject`s of the `Image`-type globally, we can utilize that in `PartialEvaluator.getTextContent` as well. This way, in cases such as e.g. issue 12098, we can avoid having to fetch/parse `/XObject`s that we already know to be `Image`s. This is helpful, since `Stream`s are not cached on the `XRef` instance (given their potential size) and the lookup can thus be somewhat expensive in general.
Also, skip a redundant `RefSetCache.has` check in the `GlobalImageCache.getData` method.
The widths property should be an object to match what metrics returns.
In ZapfDingbats.pdf I was getting a data clone error with pdfBug enabled.
In buildCharCodeToWidth() there was an encoding with the name "at" which
is also the name of a method on an array. buildCharCodeToWidth assumes an
object is passed in, so when it checked for the "at" property, it found the
method and copied it over.
This only seemed to affect Firefox.
When implementing the `GlobalImageCache` functionality I was mostly worried about the effect of *very large* images, hence the maximum number of cached images were purposely kept quite low[1].
However, there's one fairly obvious problem with that approach: In documents with hundreds, or even thousands, of *small* images the `GlobalImageCache` as implemented becomes essentially pointless.
Hence this patch, where the `GlobalImageCache`-implementation is changed in the following ways:
- We're still guaranteed to be able to cache a *minimum* number of images, set to `10` (similar as before).
- If the *total* size of all the cached image data is below a threshold[2], we're allowed to cache additional images.
This patch thus *improve*, but doesn't completely fix, issue 12098. Note that that document is created by a *very poor* PDF generator, since every single page contains the *entire* document (with all of its /Resources) and to create the individual pages clipping is used.[3]
---
[1] Currently set to `10` images; imagine what would happen to overall memory usage if we encountered e.g. 50 images each 10 MB in size.
[2] This value was chosen, somewhat randomly, to be `40` megabytes; basically five times the [maximum individual image size per page](6249ef517d/src/display/api.js (L2483-L2484)).
[3] This surely has to be some kind of record w.r.t. how badly PDF generators can mess things up...
As can be seen in 2cba290361/src/core/evaluator.js (L986) the `gStateObj` (which is actually an Array despite its name), is wrapped in Array when it's inserted into the OperatorList. Hence we obviously need to take this into account when accessing it in `TranslatedFont._removeType3ColorOperators`; this mistake happened because we don't have any test-cases for this particular code-path as far as I know.
* Add a parser to get font data from the default appearance
- pdfium & poppler use a special parser too to get these info.
* Update src/core/default_appearance.js

Currently any errors thrown in `preEvaluateFont`, which is a *synchronous* method, will not be handled at all in the `loadFont` method and we were thus failing to return an `ErrorFont`-instance as intended here.
Also, add an *explicit* check in `PartialEvaluator.preEvaluateFont` to ensure that Type0-fonts always have a *valid* dictionary.
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:

[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.
This patch removes unnecessary escape-sequence in (mostly) strings, as a first step, since the ones in regular expressions probably requires more careful testing (just in case).
The only exception is a regular expression in `src/core/annotation.js`, since we should have both unit- and reference-tests for this code *and* given [this information on MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions/Character_Classes#Types):
> Inside a character set, the dot loses its special meaning and matches a literal dot.

- Handle the arguments correctly in `PartialEvaluator.handleColorN`.
For TilingPatterns with a base-ColorSpace, we're currently using the `args` when computing the color. However, as can be seen we're passing the Array as-is to the `ColorSpace.getRgb` method, which means that the `Name` is included as well.[1]
Thankfully this hasn't, as far as I know, caused any actual bugs, but that may be more luck than anything else given how the `ColorSpace` code is implemented. This can be easily fixed though, simply by popping the `Name`-object off of the `args` Array.
- Cache TilingPatterns using the `Name`-string, rather than the object directly.
This is not only consistent with other caches in `PartialEvaluator`, but importantly it also ensures that the cache lookup always works correctly. Note that since `Name`-objects, similar to other primitives, uses a cache themselves a *manually* triggered `cleanup`-call could thus (theoretically) cause the `LocalTilingPatternCache` to not find an existing entry. While the likelihood of this happening is *extremely* small, it's still something that we should fix.
---
[1] The `args` Array can e.g. look like this: `[0.043, 0.09, 0.188, 0.004, /P1]`, which means that we're passing in the `Name`-object to the `ColorSpace` method.
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.
