The doorhanger for highlighting has a basic color picker composed of 5 predefined colors
to set the default color to use.
These colors can be changed thanks to a preference for now but it's something which could
be changed in the Firefox settings in the future.
Each highlight has in its own toolbar a color picker to just change its color.
The different color pickers are so similar (modulo few differences in their styles) that
this patch introduces a new class ColorPicker which provides a color picker component
which could be reused in future editors.
All in all, a large part of this patch is dedicated to color picker itself and its style
and the rest is almost a matter of wiring the component.
The `viewerCssTheme`-implementation has always been somewhat hacky, and now it's also *partially* broken ever since we've started using CSS nesting.
Trying to support nested media queries would thus require a lot more parsing of the CSS rules, which seems inefficient and thus generally undesirable.[1]
As discussed on Matrix, let's try to remove the `viewerCssTheme`-option and see if there's any (significant) fallout from this.
---
[1] If this option is brought back, it seems to me that it (in Firefox) should probably be set through the platform-code that handles theming.
- For the generic viewer we use @fluent/dom and @fluent/bundle
- For the builtin pdf viewer in Firefox, we set a localization url
and then we rely on document.l10n which is a DOMLocalization object.
This *finally* allows us to mark the entire PDF.js library as a "module", which should thus conclude the (multi-year) effort to re-factor and improve how we import files/resources in the code-base.
This also means that the `gulp ci-test` target, which is what's run in GitHub Actions, now uses JavaScript modules since that's supported in modern Node.js versions.
*Please note:* This only removes the preference itself, however both the viewer-option and the actual implementation is still available.
The `useOnlyCssZoom` functionality was only ever used, by default, in the PDF Viewer for the B2G/FirefoxOS project (which was abandoned years ago). Given that CSS-only zooming can easily make the document look blurry even at low zoom levels, this functionality was only intended for low-powered mobile devices.
Hence it seems reasonable to remove the `useOnlyCssZoom` preference now, since neither the default viewer nor the GeckoView-specific viewer uses this functionality.
Semantically, it is more correct to encode the fragment in the URL
instead of the URL-encoded `file` query parameter. This shouldn't matter
in practice, because `rewriteUrlClosure` in `chromecom.js` decodes the
`file` parameter and restores the fragment. However, as #16625 shows,
there was a case where this did not work as expected.
Right now, the visible pages are redrawn for each scale change.
Consequently, zooming with mouse wheel or in pinching can be pretty janky
(even on a desktop machine but with a hdpi screen).
So the main idea in this patch is to draw the visible pages only once zooming
is finished.
Note that these cases, which are all in older code, were found using the [`unicorn/no-for-loop`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/eslint-plugin-unicorn/blob/main/docs/rules/no-for-loop.md) ESLint plugin rule.
However, note that I've opted not to enable this rule by default since there's still *some* cases where I do think that it makes sense to allow "regular" for-loops.
This replaces the boolean `annotationEditorEnabled` option/preference with a "proper" `annotationEditorMode` one. This way it's not only possible for the user to control if Editing is enabled/disabled, but also which *specific* Editing-mode should become enabled upon PDF document load.
Given that Editing is not enabled/released yet, I cannot imagine that changing the name and type of the option/preference should be an issue.
Given that the new API-option is an Object named `pageColors`, with `background`/`foreground` keys, it occurred to me that it'd be slightly more consistent if the options/preferences names fully reflected that.
- Use Canvas & CanvasText color when they don't have their default value
as background and foreground colors.
- The colors used to draw (stroke/fill) in a pdf are replaced by the bg/fg
ones according to their luminance.
*This is a follow-up to PRs 13867 and 13899.*
This patch is tagged `api-minor` for the following reasons:
- It replaces the `renderInteractiveForms`/`includeAnnotationStorage`-options, in the `PDFPageProxy.render`-method, with the single `annotationMode`-option that controls which annotations are being rendered and how. Note that the old options were mutually exclusive, and setting both to `true` would result in undefined behaviour.
- For improved consistency in the API, the `annotationMode`-option will also work together with the `PDFPageProxy.getOperatorList`-method.
- It's now also possible to disable *all* annotation rendering in both the API and the Viewer, since the other changes meant that this could now be supported with a single added line on the worker-thread[1]; fixes 7282.
---
[1] Please note that in order to simplify the overall implementation, we'll purposely only support disabling of *all* annotations and that the option is being shared between the API and the Viewer. For any more "specialized" use-cases, where e.g. only some annotation-types are being rendered and/or the API and Viewer render different sets of annotations, that'll have to be handled in third-party implementations/forks of the PDF.js code-base.
The `viewerCssTheme` option was not rendered because its entry in
`preferences_schema.json` did not have a `title`.
The order of keys in `preferences_schema.json` determines the order of the
rendered preferences in the options UI. Since `viewerCssTheme` affects the UI
very significantly, I have moved the option to the top.
After PR 13117 it's now (finally) possible for *different* build targets to specify individual options/preferences, and we can utilize that to only expose the `renderer`-preference in builds where `SVGGraphics` is actually defined.
Note that for e.g. `MOZCENTRAL`-builds, trying to enable SVG-rendering will throw immediately and the preference thus doesn't make sense to include there.
Also, update the dummy `SVGGraphics` to use a class, tweak the `PDFJSDev`-check in `src/display/svg.js` to agree fully with the option/preference, and remove an unnecessary `eslint-disable`.
Reasons for the removal include:
- This functionality was always somewhat experimental and has never been enabled by default, partly because of worries about rendering bugs caused by e.g. bad/outdated graphics drivers.
- After the initial implementation, in PR 4286 (back in 2014), no additional functionality has been added to the WebGL implementation.
- The vast majority of all documents do not benefit from WebGL rendering, since only a couple of *specific* features are supported (e.g. some Soft Masks and Patterns).
- There is, and has always been, *zero* test-coverage for the WebGL implementation.
- Overall performance, in the PDF.js library, has improved since the experimental WebGL implementation was added.
Rather than shipping unused *and* untested code, it seems reasonable to simply remove the WebGL implementation for now; thanks to version control it's always possible to bring back the code should the need ever arise.
Originally the default preferences where simply placed in a JSON-file, checked into the repository, which over time became impractical, annoying, and error-prone to maintain; please see PR 10548.
While that improved the overall situation a fair bit, it however inherited one quite unfortunate property of the old JSON-based solution[1]: It's still not possible for *different* build targets to specify their *own* default preference values.
With some preferences, such as e.g. `enableScripting`, it's not inconceivable that you'd want to (at least) support build-specific default preference values. Currently that's not really possible, which is why this PR re-factors the default preferences generation to support this.
---
[1] This fact isn't really clear from the `AppOptions` implementation, unless you're familiar with the `gulpfile.js` code, which could lead to some confusion for those new to this part of the code-base.
While this will perhaps not be perfect for *every* PDF document with mixed page orientation, based on the large number of bugs/issues seen over the years I'm however pretty convinced that it'll be an overall improvement in a majority of cases.
In order to improve things further, we'd probably need Firefox to support e.g. `@page` such that the viewer can provide better information to the print engine.
