Currently the built-in CMap files are loaded in `src/core/cmap.js` using `XMLHttpRequest` directly. For some environments that might be a problem, hence this patch refactors that to instead use a factory to load built-in CMaps on the main thread and message the data to the worker thread.
This is inspired by other recent work, e.g. the addition of the `CanvasFactory`, and to a large extent on the IRC discussion starting at http://logs.glob.uno/?c=mozilla%23pdfjs&s=12+Oct+2016&e=12+Oct+2016#c53010.
Note that I initially tried to add this as a parameter to the `PDFPageProxy.render` method, such that it could be passed to `PartialEvaluator.getOperatorList`.
However, given all the different code-paths that call `getOperatorList` (there's a bunch only in `annotation.js`), this seemed to very quickly become unwieldy and thus difficult to maintain compared to simply using the existing `evaluatorOptions`.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-unused-vars; note that this patch purposely uses the same rule options as in `mozilla-central`, such that it fixes part of issue 7957.
It wasn't, in my opinion, entirely straightforward to enable this rule compared to the already existing rules. In many cases a `var descriptiveName = ...` format was used (more or less) to document the code, and I choose to place the old variable name in a trailing comment to not lose that information.
I welcome feedback on these changes, since it wasn't always entirely easy to know what changes made the most sense in every situation.
Given the nature of `EOF` and `isEOF`, it seems to me that they really ought to be placed in `core/primitives.js` instead.
In general, it doesn't seem great to have to depend on the entire `core/parser.js` file for such simple primitives/helper functions.
In particular, while `core/ps_parser.js` is completely separate from `core/parser.js` with regards to its function, it still depends on the latter for just *one* primitive.
Note that compared to e.g. PR 7389, this will not reduce the number of dependencies for `core/ps_parser`, however the new dependency IMHO makes more sense.
We're currently making use of `uniquePrefix`/`idCounters` in multiple files, to create unique object id's, and adding a new occurrence of them requires some care to ensure that an object id isn't accidentally reused.
Furthermore, having to pass around multiple parameters as we currently do seem like something you want to avoid.
Instead, this patch adds a factory which means that there's only *one* thing that needs to be passed around. And since it's now only necessary to call a method in order to obtain a unique object id, the details are thus abstracted away at the call-sites which avoids accidental reuse of object id's.
To test that this works as expected a very simple `Page` unit-test is added, and the existing `Annotation layer` tests are also adjusted slightly.
Using `else` after `return` is not necessary, and can often lead to unnecessarily cluttered code. By using the `no-else-return` rule in ESLint we can avoid this pattern, see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-else-return.
I recently happened to look at the code I wrote for PR 5964, which fixed [bug 1157493](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1157493), and I quickly realized that the solution is way too simplistic.
The fact that only using the `length` of a `Differences` array worked seems more like a happy accident for a particular set of font data, but could just as easily be incorrect for other PDF files.
Note that in practice, the case where the `Encoding` entry is a regular `Dict` (and not a `Ref` or `Name`) is very rare, hence I don't think that we really need to worry about having to reparse this data.
Also, the performance of this code-block is quite a bit better by updating the `hash` with the data from the *entire* `Differences` array, instead of at every loop iteration.
For `PartialEvaluator_getTextContent`, the same `args` Array should be re-used for every `EvaluatorPreprocessor_read` call. Hence we want to ensure that it's not accidentally replaced with `null` in `EvaluatorPreprocessor_read`, since otherwise corrupt PDF files (with too few arguments for certain commands) will cause errors in `PartialEvaluator_getTextContent`.
Perhaps a micro-optimization, but this patch also changes two `!args` comparisons to `args === null`, since that should be a tiny bit more efficient.
While the array argument to TJ should only contain strings and numbers, other
unfortunate items are found in PDFs in the wild, e.g.:
[(Grandes) 0.0 Tc
-250.0 (Client\350les,) 0.0 Tc
-250.0 (Financements) 0.0 Tc
-250.0 (et) 0.0 Tc
-250.0 (March\351s) ] TJ
getOperatorList already properly ignores any non-string, non-numeric values in
TJ arrays; without this patch to getTextContent, returned text items can have
NaN widths due to calculations being applied to those non-numeric values.
Even though this patch passes all tests (unit/font/reference) locally, including the new ones that I added in PR 7621, I'm still a bit nervous about modifying the code that choose the fallback encoding for fonts without an `/Encoding` entry.
Note that over the years this code has been changed on a number of occasions, see a possibly incomplete [list here], to deal with various cases of incorrect font data.
According to the PDF specification, see http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#G8.1904184, it seems that we should fallback to the `StandardEncoding` for Nonsymbolic fonts.
There's obviously a risk that fixing this particular issue *could* break other PDF files for which we don't have tests. However I've tried to change the logic as little as possible in this patch, to hopefully reduce possible breakage.
Based on debugging numerous font issue, it seems that a lot of fonts actually set the Symbolic flag, even when they are in fact *not* Symbolic. Fonts actually marked as Nonsymbolic seem to be somewhat less common, which I hope should reduce the risk of the patch somewhat.
Fixes 7580.
Note that in order to prevent any possible issues, this patch does *not* try to amend the `toUnicode` data for Type1 fonts that contain either `ToUnicode` or `Encoding` entries in the font dictionary.
Fixes, or at least improves, issues/bugs such as e.g. 6658, 6901, 7182, 7217, bug 917796, bug 1242142.
This patch improves the performance of issue 5808, but I'm not sure if it's enough to call it fixed. On average, this patch reduces the number of textLayer div's by a factor of 3, and it also reduces the time spend in `getTextContent` by a factor of ~2.
The PDF file is generated by `Scribus PDF`, which for reasons I cannot understand is placing redundant `Tf` commands before *every* showText command.
Note how the PDF file also contains lots of (basically) identical fonts, but with slightly different names, which causes unnecessary font-switching. This causes some unnecessary breaking of textLayer div's, but this issue cannot be easily worked around.
[api-minor] Add a parameter to `PDFPageProxy_getTextContent` that controls whether `PartialEvaluator_getTextContent` will attempt to combine same line text items
Fonts that are not referenced by `Ref`s are very uncommon in practice, but it can unfortunately happen. In this case, we're currently not caching them in the usual way, i.e. by `Ref`, which leads to failures when a page is rendered after `cleanup` has run.
The simplest solution would have been to remove the `font.translated` workaround, but since this would have meant loading these kind of fonts over and over, the patch attempts to be a bit clever about this situation.
Note that if we instead loaded fonts per *page*, instead of per document, this issue wouldn't have existed.
Originally, I was just going to change this code to use `Ref_toString` in a couple more places. When I started reading the code, I figured that it wouldn't hurt to clean up a couple of comments. While doing this, I noticed that the logic for the (rare) `isDict(fontRef)` case could do with a few improvements.
There should be no functional changes with this patch, but given the added reference checks, we will now avoid bogus `Ref`s when resolving font aliases. In practice, as issue 7403 shows, the current code can break certain PDF files even if it's very rare.
Note that the only thing that this patch will change, is the `font.loadedName` in the case where a `fontRef` is a reference *and* the font doesn't have a descriptor. Previously for `fontRef = Ref(4, 0)` we'd get `font.loadedName = 'g_d0_f4_0'`, and with this patch `font.loadedName = g_d0_f4R`, which is actually one character shorted in most cases. (Given that `Ref_toString` contains an optimization for the `gen === 0` case, which is by far the most common `gen` value.)
In the already existing fallback case, where the `fontName` is used to when creating the `font.loadedName`, we allow any alphanumeric character. Hence I don't see how (as mentioned above) e.g. `font.loadedName = g_d0_f4R` would be an issue here.
From the discussion in issue 7445, it seems that there may be cases where an API consumer would want to get the text content as is, without combined text items.
Currently `setGState` is completely broken, and looking through the history of that code, it seems to me that this may never have worked correctly.
This patch fixes the text-selection in `extgstate.pdf` in the test-suite, which is also added as a `text` test.
As evident from e.g. PRs 6485 and 7118, some bad PDF generators unfortunately create Arrays where *some* elements are indirect objects (i.e. `Ref`s). This seems to mostly affect Arrays that contain numbers, such as e.g. `Matrix/FontMatrix/BBox/FontBBox/Rect/Color/...`, and has manifested itself in PDF files that fail to render correctly (some elements are missing).
The problem in both the cases above, besides broken rendering, was that there were *no* errors/warnings that indicated what the problem was, making it difficult to pinpoint the issue.
Hence this patch, where I've audited all usages of `Dict_get` in `src/core/` files, and replaced it with `Dict_getArray` where appropriate to try and prevent unnecessary future bugs.
Using `new {Name,Cmd}` should be avoided, since it creates a new object on *every* call, whereas `{Name,Cmd}.get` uses caches to only create *one* object regardless of how many times they are called.
Most of these are found in the unit-tests, where increased memory usage probably doesn't matter very much. But it still seems good to get rid of those cases, since no part of the codebase ought to advertise that usage.
Given the small size of the patch, I'm also tweaking a few comments and class names.
For the operators that we currently support, the arguments are not `Dict`s, which means that it's not really necessary to use `Dict_getAll` in `EvaluatorPreprocessor_read`.
Also, I do think that if/when we support operators that use `Dict`s as arguments, that should be dealt with in the corresponding `case` in `PartialEvaluator_getOperatorList` which handles the operator.
The only reason that I can find for using `Dict_getAll` like that, is that prior to PR 6550 we would just append certain (currently unsupported) operators without doing any further processing/checking. But as issue 6549 showed, that can lead to issues in practice, which is why it was changed.
In an effort to prevent possible issue with unsupported operators, this patch simply ignores operators with `Dict` arguments in `PartialEvaluator_getOperatorList`.
Some bad PDF generators, in particular "Scribus PDF", duplicates resources *a lot* at various levels of the PDF files. This can lead to `PartialEvaluator_hasBlendModes` taking an unreasonable amount of time to complete.
The reason is that the current code is using `Dict_getAll`, which recursively dereferences *all* indirect objects, which can be really slow. This patch instead uses `Dict_getKeys`, and then manually looks up only the necessary indirect objects.
I've added the PDF file as a `load` test. The most important thing here is probably to ensure that the file remains available in the repo, and the comment should help reduced the chance of regressions. (Note that locally, the `load` test times out without this patch, but we cannot really assume that that always happens.)
Fixes 6961.
*This patch is based on something I noticed while debugging some of the PDF files in issue 6931.*
In a number of the cases in `setGState`, we're implicitly assuming that we're not dealing with indirect objects (i.e. `Ref`s). See e.g. the 'Font' case, or the various cases where we simply do `gStateObj.push([key, value]);` (since the code in `canvas.js` won't be able to deal with a `Ref` for those cases).
The reason that I didn't use `Dict_forEach` instead, is that it would re-introduce the unncessary closures that PR 5205 removed.
The intention of PR 5192 was to avoid adding empty `setGState` ops to the operatorList. But the patch accidentally used `>=`, which means that it's not actually working as intended, since empty arrays always have `length === 0`.
Even though the currently known test-cases render correctly without this patch, that seems more like a lucky coincidence, given that there's no guarantee that `transferMap[255] === 0` for every possible transfer function.
This patch fixes an issue that I inadvertently introduced in PR 5815, where we accidentally modify the `Differences` array in the encoding dictionary for indirect objects.
Instead of this change, we could also have used the now existing `Dict_getArray`. However in this case I don't think that would have been a good idea, since it would mean iterating through the array *twice*.
