*Please note:* The referenced issue is the only mention that I can find, in either GitHub or Bugzilla, of "GoToE" actions.
Hence why I've purposely settled for a very simple, and partial, "GoToE" implementation to avoid complicating things initially.[1] In particular, this patch only supports "GoToE" actions that references the /EmbeddedFiles-dict in the PDF document.
See https://web.archive.org/web/20220309040754if_/https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#G11.2048909

[1] Usually I always prefer having *real-world* test-cases to work with, whenever I'm implementing new features.
By doing this in the worker-thread this code will only need to run *once*, whereas currently re-rendering of a page forces this to be repeated (e.g. after it's been scrolled out-of-view and then back into view again).
An annotation doesn't have to be in the text flow, hence it's likely a bad idea
to insert its text in the text layer. But the text must be visible from a screen
reader point of view so it must somewhere in the DOM.
So with this patch, the text from a FreeText annotation is extracted and added in
a div in its HTML counterpart, and with the patch #15237 the text should be visible
and positioned relatively to the text flow.
To improve performance of the sidebar we use the page-canvases to generate the thumbnails whenever possible, since that avoids unnecessary re-rendering when the sidebar is open. This works generally well, however there's an old problem in PDF documents that contain interactive forms (when those are enabled): Note how the thumbnails become partially (or fully) blank, since those Annotations are not included in the OperatorList.[1]
We obviously want to keep using the `PDFThumbnailView.setImage`-method for most documents, however we need a way to skip it only for those pages that contain interactive forms.
As it turns out it's unfortunately not all that simple to tell, after the fact, from looking only at the OperatorList that some Annotations were skipped. While it might have been possible to try and infer that in the viewer, it'd not have been pretty considering that at the time when rendering finishes the annotationLayer has not yet been built.
The overall simplest solution that I could come up with, was instead to include a *summary* of the interactive form-state when doing the final "flushing" of the OperatorList and expose that information in the API.
---
[1] Some examples from our test-suite: `annotation-tx2.pdf` where the thumbnail is completely blank, and `bug1737260.pdf` where the thumbnail is missing the "buttons" found on the page.
Currently some `OPS.beginAnnotation` arguments will contain a `Number` value for the `isUsingOwnCanvas`-parameter, or in some cases an `undefined` value, which is inconsistent from an API perspective.
- As in the annotation layer, use percent instead of pixels as unit;
- handle the rotation of the editor layer in allowing editing when rotation
angle is not zero;
- the different editors are rotated counterclockwise in order to be usable
when the main page is itself rotated;
- add support for saving/printing rotated editors.
Given that Annotations can also have an `OC`-entry, we need to take that into account when generating their operatorLists.
Note that in order to simplify the patch the `getOperatorList`-methods, for the Annotation-classes, were converted to be `async`.
- the annotations must be rendered in the same order as the chronological one.
- fix a bug in document.js which avoids to read a saved pdf correctly in Acrobat:
there is no need to reset the xref state: it's done in worker.js once everything
has been saved.
- each annotation has its coordinates/dimensions expressed in percentage,
hence it's correctly positioned whatever the scale factor is;
- the font sizes are expressed in percentage too and the main font size
is scaled thanks a css var (--scale-factor);
- the rotation is now applied on the div annotationLayer;
- this patch improve the rendering of some strings where the glyph spacing
was not correct (it's a Firefox bug);
- it helps to simplify the code and it should slightly improve the update of
page (on zoom or rotation).
In the "no fontSize available" code-path, in the `ChoiceWidgetAnnotation._getAppearance` method, we don't provide the necessary second argument when calling the `_getTextWidth`-method which will cause errors to be thrown.
- right now we're using the font size from the pdf itself but we use an other font
in the annotation layer. So this size doesn't really make sense and leads to bad
rendering (see pdf in #14928);
- use a sans-serif font for the fields containing text (fix issue #14736);
- remove useless padding in text-based fields (fix issue #14301);
- text fields allow/disallow scrolling bars (see bit 24 in Ff entry), so use this
value to hide/show scrollbars in annotation layer.
- since resetForm function reset a field value a calculateNow is consequently triggered.
But the calculate callback can itself call resetForm, hence an infinite recursive loop.
So basically, prevent calculeNow to be triggered by itself.
- in Firefox, the letters entered in some fields were duplicated: "AaBb" instead of "AB".
It was mainly because beforeInput was triggering a Keystroke which was itself triggering
an input value update and then the input event was triggered.
So in order to avoid that, beforeInput calls preventDefault and then it's up to the JS to
handle the event.
- fields have a property valueAsString which returns the value as a string. In the
implementation it was wrongly used to store the formatted value of a field (2€ when the user
entered 2). So this patch implements correctly valueAsString.
- non-rendered fields can be updated in using JS but when they're, they must take some properties
in the annotationStorage. It was implemented for field values, but it wasn't for
display, colors, ...
- it fixes#14862 and #14705.
- it aims to fix#14685;
- add a basic object to get values from the parsed datasets;
- these annotations don't have an appearance so we must create one when printing or saving.
The call-sites are replaced by direct `typeof`-checks instead, which removes unnecessary function calls. Note that in the `src/`-folder we already had more `typeof`-cases than `isString`-calls.
Unless you actually need to check that something is both a `Name` and also of the *correct* type, using `instanceof Name` directly should be a tiny bit more efficient since it avoids one function call and an unnecessary `undefined` check.
This patch uses ESLint to enforce this, since we obviously still want to keep the `isName` helper function for where it makes sense.
Unless you actually need to check that something is both a `Dict` and also of the *correct* type, using `instanceof Dict` directly should be a tiny bit more efficient since it avoids one function call and an unnecessary `undefined` check.
This patch uses ESLint to enforce this, since we obviously still want to keep the `isDict` helper function for where it makes sense.
This helper function is not really needed, since it's just a wrapper around a simple `instanceof` check, and it only adds unnecessary indirection in the code.
At this point all the various Stream-classes extends an abstract base-class, hence this helper function is no longer necessary and only adds unnecessary indirection in the code.
- it aims to fix#14502 and bug 1721335;
- Acrobat and Pdfium do the same;
- it'll avoid to have truncated data when printed;
- change the factor to compute font size in using field height: lineHeight = 1.35*fontSize
- this is the value used by Acrobat.
- in order to not have truncated strings on the bottom, add few basic metrics for standard fonts.
- First step to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1737260;
- several interactive pdfs use the possibility to hide/show buttons to show different icons;
- render pushbuttons on their own canvas and then insert it the annotation_layer;
- update test/driver.js in order to convert canvases for pushbuttons into images.
Trying to render these Annotation-types, when the borderWidth is `0`, causes a "hairline" border to appear. If these Annotations included an appearance stream, as they are supposed to, this wouldn't have happened and the simplest solution here seem to be to just ignore these particular Annotations.
- it aims to fix#14021;
- the N dict is empty here so just create a default one;
- it implies that the checked checkbox has no appearance so create a default one too in order to print it;
- in the pdf in the issue, a checked box is not printed because it has no default appearance so we need to guess its appearance from its state.
In order to implement this, we utilize the existing `bidi` function to infer the text-direction of /T and /Contents entries. While this may not be perfect in cases where one PopupAnnotation mixes LTR and RTL languages, it should work well enough in most cases.
To avoid having to add *two new* properties in lots of annotations, supplementing the existing `title`/`contents`-properties, this patch instead re-factors the existing code such that the properties are replaced by Objects (containing `str` and `dir`).
*Please note:* In order avoid breaking existing third-party implementations, `GENERIC`-builds of the PDF.js library will still provide the old `title`/`contents`-properties on annotations returned by `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations`.
- it aims to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1722036.
- AS and V should share the same value for checkbox: it's at least what the specs say;
- the pdf in the above bug opens correctly in Acrobat so it likely means that AS is chosen over V.
With this patch, the `PDFPageProxy.getOperatorList` method will now return `PDFOperatorList`-instances that also include Annotation-operatorLists (when those exist). Hence this closes a small, but potentially confusing, gap between the `render` and `getOperatorList` methods.
Previously we've been somewhat reluctant to do this, as explained below, but given that there's actual use-cases where it's required probably means that we'll *have* to implement it now.
Since we still need the ability to separate "normal" rendering operations from direct `getOperatorList` calls in the worker-thread, this API-change unfortunately causes the *internal* renderingIntent to become a bit "messy" which is indeed unfortunate (note the `"oplist-"` strings in various spots). As-is I suppose that it's not all that bad, but we may want to consider changing the *internal* renderingIntent to e.g. a bitfield in the future.
Besides fixing issue 13704, this patch would also be necessary if someone ever tries to implement e.g. issue 10165 (since currently `PDFPageProxy.getOperatorList` doesn't include Annotation-operatorLists).
*Please note:* This patch is *also* tagged "api-minor" for a second reason, which is that we're now including the Annotation-id in the `beginAnnotation` argument. The reason for this is to allow correlating the Annotation-data returned by `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations`, with its corresponding operatorList-data (for those Annotations that have it).
For HighlightAnnotations with a built-in appearance stream, we still rely on it to specify the opacity correctly via a suitable blend mode. However, if the Annotation-drawing operators are placed *within* a /XObject of the /Form-type, the /ExtGState won't apply to the final rendering and the result is that the highlighting obscures the underlying text.
The more *correct* and general solution would likely be to somehow modify the implementation in `src/display/canvas.js`, to special-case handling of /Form-type /XObjects when rendering Annotations. Since we can very easily work-around this problem for now by using the "no appearance stream" code-path, doing *something* here ought to be preferable.
This patch is (obviously) merely a work-around, but given that the referenced issue is (as far as I know) the first case we've seen of this problem a simple solution will hopefully suffice for now.
This fixes the colours, by respecting the strokeAlpha/fillAlpha-values, for a couple of Annotations in the PDF document from issue 13447.[1]

[1] Some of the annotations still won't render at all, when compared with Adobe Reader, but that could/should probably be handled separately.
The size of the `src/core/obj.js` file has increased slowly over the years, and it also contains a fair amount of *distinct* functionality.
In order to improve readability and make it easier to navigate through the code, this patch moves the `FileSpec` into its own file.

- but don't validate them for now;
- Firefox will display a bar to warn that the signature validation is not supported (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=854315)
- almost all (all ?) pdf readers display signatures;
- validation is done in edge but for now it's behind a pref.
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 reasons for making this change are:
- This property is not, nor has it ever been, used anywhere in the PDF.js display-layer.
- Related to the previous point, the format of the `defaultAppearance`-string is such that it'd be difficult to use it as-is in the display-layer anyway.
- It (usually) contains the "raw" appearance-string, from the PDF document, which is neither parsed nor validated and could thus be bogus.
- We now expose a `defaultAppearanceData`-property, which is first of all used in the display-layer and secondly contains actually parsed/validated data.
- In the event that a third-party implementation needs the `defaultAppearance`-string, it could be easily constructed from the recently added `defaultAppearanceData`-property.
All-in-all, I'm thus suggesting that we stop exposing an unused and unnecessary property on all Annotation-instances.
* JS - Handle correctly hierarchy of fields
- it aims to fix#13132;
- annotations can inherit their actions from the parent field;
- there are some fields which act as a container for other fields:
- they can be access through js so need to add them with an empty type (nothing in the spec about that but checked in Acrobat);
- calculation order list (CO) can reference them so need make them through this.getField;
- getArray method must return kids.
- field values are number, string, ... depending of their type but nothing in the spec on how to know what's the type:
- according to the comment for Canonical Format: https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#page=461
- it seems that this "type" can be guessed from js action Format (when setting a type in Acrobat DC, the only affected thing is this action).
- util.scand with an empty string returns the current date.
This extends PR 13033 slightly, with a heuristic to support corrupt PDF documents where the `LineAnnotation`s have an empty /Rect-entry. Please note that while I have no idea if this is "correct", this patch at least makes us output the same /BBox as re-saving in Adobe Reader does.
Rather than converting the `AnnotationStorage`-data to an Object, before sending it to the worker-thread, we should be able to simply send the internal `Map` directly.
The "structured clone algorithm" doesn't have a problem with `Map`s, however the `LoopbackPort` used when workers are *disabled* (e.g. in Node.js environments) didn't use to support them. With PR 12997 having lifted that restriction, we should now be able to simply send the `AnnotationStorage`-data as-is rather than having to iterate through it to first create an Object.
*Please note:* The changes in `src/core/annotation.js` could have been a lot more compact if we were able to use optional chaining in the `src/core` folder. Unfortunately that's still not possible, since SystemJS is being used in the development viewer (i.g. `gulp server`) and fixing that is *still* blocked by [bug 1247687](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687).
* don't set a value in annotationStorage by default:
- having an undefined when the annotation is rendered for saving/printing means nothing has changed so use normal appearance
- aims to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1681687
* change the way to compute font size when this one is null in DA:
- make fontSize proportional to line height
- in multiline case, take into account the number of lines for text entered to adapt the font size
With the changes in PR 12831, it's no longer necessary to keep track of the `fontName`-string separately since it's available through the `_defaultAppearanceData`-property as well.
* 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

There's built-in ESLint rule, see `sort-imports`, to ensure that all `import`-statements are sorted alphabetically, since that often helps with readability.
Unfortunately there's no corresponding rule to sort `export`-statements alphabetically, however there's an ESLint plugin which does this; please see https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-sort-exports
The only downside here is that it's not automatically fixable, but the re-ordering is a one-time "cost" and the plugin will help maintain a *consistent* ordering of `export`-statements in the future.
*Note:* To reduce the possibility of introducing any errors here, the re-ordering was done by simply selecting the relevant lines and then using the built-in sort-functionality of my editor.
* the goal is to execute actions like Open or OpenAction
* can be tested with issue6106.pdf (auto-print)
* once #12701 is merged, we can add page actions
* in some pdf, there are actions with "event.source.hidden = ..."
* in order to handle visibility when printing, annotationStorage is extended to store multiple properties (value, hidden, editable, ...)
Rather than returning an *empty* Object[1] we should be returning `null` instead, since that's consistent with existing API-functionality.
To avoid having to *manually* track if the Object is empty, this patch also introduces a small helper function to check its size.
As can be seen in `src/core/fonts.js`, this method only accepts *one* parameter, hence it's somewhat difficult to understand what the Annotation-code is actually attempting to do here.
The only possible explanation that I can imagine, is that the intention was initially to call `Font.charToGlyph` *directly* instead. However, note that that'd would not actually have been correct, since that'd ignore one level of font-caching (see `this.charsCache`). Hence the unused arguments are removed, in `src/core/annotation.js`, and the `Font.charToGlyph` method is now marked as "private" as intended.
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.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-useless-escape
