The idea is to apply an overall filter on each page: the main advantage
is to have some filtered images which could help to make them visible for
some users.
This patch extends PR 16115 to work in all browsers, regardless of their `OffscreenCanvas` support, such that transfer functions will be applied to general rendering (and not just image data).
In order to do this we introduce the `BaseFilterFactory` that is then extended in browsers/Node.js environments, similar to all the other factories used in the API, such that we always have the necessary factory available in `src/display/canvas.js`.
These changes help simplify the existing `putBinaryImageData` function, and the new method can easily be stubbed-out in the Firefox PDF Viewer.
*Please note:* This patch removes the old *partial* transfer function support, which only applied to image data, from Node.js environments since the `node-canvas` package currently doesn't support filters. However, this should hopefully be fine given that:
- Transfer functions are not very commonly used in PDF documents.
- Browsers in general, and Firefox in particular, are the *primary* development target for the PDF.js library.
- The FAQ only lists Node.js as *mostly* supported, see https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#faq-support
The initial CMap support was added in PR 4259 using the "raw" Adobe files, however they were quickly deemed to be unnecessarily large. As a result PR 4470 introduced the more compact "binary" CMap format, with both of those PRs being included in the very same release (version `0.8.1334`) .
Please note that we've thus never shipped anything *except* the "binary" CMap files with the PDF library, and furthermore note that we've not even once updated the CMap files since they were originally added almost nine years ago.
Requiring users to remember that `cMapPacked = true` is necessary, in addition to setting the `cMapUrl` parameter, in order for CMap loading to work feels like a less than ideal API.
Hence this patch, which suggests that we simply let `cMapPacked` default to `true` now.
- 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).
This is first of all consistent with all of the other (similar) factories, and secondly it will also simplify a future addition of a corresponding `NodeSVGFactory` (if that's ever deemed necessary).
- 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.
Given that these factories are being used in *different* files, for Browser respectively Node.js implementations, it seems reasonable to move them into their own file instead.
