This commit adds `scrollModeOnLoad` and `spreadModeOnLoad` preferences
that control the default viewer state when opening a new document for
the first time.
This commit also contains a minor refactoring of some of the option UI
rendering code in extensions/chromium/options/options.js, as I couldn't
bear creating two more functions nearly identical to the four that
already existed.
This builds on the scrolling mode work to add three buttons for joining
page spreads together: one for the default view, with no page spreads,
and two for spreads starting on odd-numbered or even-numbered pages.
*This is a final piece of clean-up of code that I recently wrote, after which I'm done :-)*
When the `getMainThreadWorkerMessageHandler` function was added, in PR 9385, it did so by basically introducing a `web/app.js` dependency in `src/display/api.js` through the `window.pdfjsNonProductionPdfWorker` property[1]. Even though this is limited to non-`PRODUCTION` mode, i.e. `gulp server`, it still seems unfortunate to have that sort of viewer dependency in the API code itself.
With the new, much nicer and shorter, names introduced in PR 9565 we can remove this non-`PRODUCTION` hack and just use `window.pdfjsWorker` in both the viewer and the API regardless of the build mode.
---
[1] It didn't seem correct to piggy-back on the `window.pdfjsDistBuildPdfWorker` property in non-`PRODUCTION` mode.
One additional complication with removing this option from the global `PDFJS` object, is that the viewer currently needs to check `disableAutoFetch` in a couple of places. To address this I'm thus proposing adding a getter in `PDFDocumentProxy`, to allow checking the *actually* used values for a particular `getDocument` invocation.
The `appConfig` contains (mostly) references to various DOM elements, used when initializing the viewer components.
Hence `defaultUrl` seem like a slightly better fit for the new `AppOptions` abstraction, not to mention that it should thus be easier to set/modify it for custom deployments of the default viewer.
In order to simplify things, the undocumented `enableStats` option was removed and `pdfBug` is now instead used to enabled general debugging *and* page request/rendering stats.
Considering that in the default viewer the `stats` was only used when debugging was also enabled, this simplification (code wise) definitely seem worthwhile to me.
Rather than having two different (but connected) options for the textLayer, I think that it makes sense to try and unify this. For example: currently if `disableTextLayer === true`, then the value of `enhanceTextSelection` is simply ignored.
Since PDF.js version `2.0` already won't be backwards compatible in lots of ways, I don't think that we need to worry about migrating existing preferences here.
This removes the `PDFJS.externalLinkTarget`/`PDFJS.externalLinkRel` dependency from the viewer components, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
This removes the `PDFJS.imageResourcesPath` dependency from the viewer components and the test-suite, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
This removes the `PDFJS.maxCanvasPixels` dependency from the viewer components, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
This removes the `PDFJS.useOnlyCssZoom` dependency from the viewer components, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, we still need the ability to adjust certain viewer options depending on the browser environment in PDF.js version `2.0`. However, we should be able to separate this from the general compatibility code in the `src/shared/compatibility.js` file.
This rule is available from https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-mozilla, and is enforced in mozilla-central. Note that we have the necessary `Array`/`String` polyfills and that most cases have already been fixed, see PRs 9032 and 9434.
Despite this patch removing the `disableWorker` option itself, please note that we'll still fallback to loading the worker file(s) on the main-thread when running in environments without proper Web Worker support.
Furthermore it's still possible, even with this patch, to force the use of fake workers by manually loading the necessary file using a `<script>` tag on the main-thread.[1]
That way, the functionality of the now removed `SINGLE_FILE` build target and the resulting `build/pdf.combined.js` file can still be achieved simply by adding e.g. `<script src="build/pdf.worker.js"></script>` to the HTML (obviously with the path adjusted as needed).
Finally note that the `disableWorker` option is a performance footgun, and unfortunately many existing third-party examples actually use it without providing any sort of warning/justification.
---
[1] This approach is used in the default viewer, since certain kind of debugging may be easier if the code is running directly on the main-thread.
This patch updates the `IPDFStreamReader` interface and ensures that the interface/implementation of `network.js`, `fetch_stream.js`, `node_stream.js`, and `transport_stream.js` all match properly.
The unit-tests are also adjusted, to more closely replicate the actual behaviour of the various actual `IPDFStreamReader` implementations.
Finally, this patch adjusts the use of the Content-Disposition filename when setting the title in the viewer, and adds `PDFDocumentProperties` support as well.
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.
