When there was a rotation, the generated bbox was wrong because of an inversion
between width and height.
This patch aims to fix this issue in re-writing the FreeText code generation
to have something similar to what Acrobat does.
And fix the name of the font which wasn't the correct one when calling the
evaluator.
- it'll help to be able to move popups on screen to let the user read the text
- popups won't inherit some properties from their parent:
- the popup can be misrendered if for example the parent has a clip-path property.
- add an outline to the popup when the parent is focused.
- hide a popup when it's clicked.
On my computer, it takes few tenths of a second to load a local font.
Since a font can be used several times in a document, the cache will
improve performances.
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.
- For text fields
* when printing, we generate a fake font which contains some widths computed thanks to
an OffscreenCanvas and its method measureText.
In order to avoid to have to layout the glyphs ourselves, we just render all of them
in one call in the showText method in using the system sans-serif/monospace fonts.
* when saving, we continue to create the appearance streams if the fonts contain the char
but when a char is missing, we just set, in the AcroForm dict, the flag /NeedAppearances
to true and remove the appearance stream. This way, we let the different readers handle
the rendering of the strings.
- For FreeText annotations
* when printing, we use the same trick as for text fields.
* there is no need to save an appearance since Acrobat is able to infer one from the
Content entry.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
Having recently worked with, and reviewed patches touching, this code it seemed that it's probably not a bad idea to move that functionality into `createValidAbsoluteUrl` as new options instead.
For the `addDefaultProtocolToUrl` functionality in particular, the existing helper function was not only moved but slightly improved as well. Looking at the code, I realized that there's a small risk that it would incorrectly match a *relative* URL-string too.
With these changes, the `createValidAbsoluteUrl` call-sites in the `src/core/`-code can be simplified a little bit.
*Please note:* This patch may, indirectly, change the format of the `unsafeUrl`-property returned with relevant Annotations and OutlineItems; hence the `api-minor` tag.
However, I'd argue that it's actually more correct this way since the whole purpose of `unsafeUrl` is/was to return the URL data as-is without any parsing done.
- it aims to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1716758;
- some buttons have a JS action with the pattern `app.launchURL(...)` (or similar) so extract when it's possible the url and generate a <a> element with the href equals to the found url;
- pdf.js already had some code to handle that so this patch slightly refactor that.
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`.
There's a fair number of regular expressions througout the code-base which are slightly more verbose than strictly necessary, in particular:
- We have a lot of regular expressions that use `[0-9]` explicitly, and those can be simplified to use `\d` instead.
- We have one instance of a regular expression containing a `A-Za-z0-9_` sequence, which can be simplified to use `\w` instead.
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).
*This implementation is basically a copy of the pre-existing `builtInCMapCache` implementation.*
For some, badly generated, PDF documents it's possible that we'll end up having to fetch the *same* standard font data over and over (which is obviously inefficient).
While not common, it's certainly possible that a PDF document uses *custom* font names where the actual font then references one of the standard fonts; see e.g. issue 11399 for one such example.
Note that I did suggest adding worker-thread caching of standard font data in PR 12726, however it wasn't deemed necessary at the time. Now that we have a real-world example that benefit from caching, I think that we should simply implement this now.
Given that the same `PartialEvaluator`-instance is used for a lot of these unit-tests, manually changing the options in any one test-case could lead to intermittently failing unit-tests since they're run in a random order.
To fix this, we simply have to use the existing method to clone the `PartialEvaluator`-instance but with the custom options.
This patch was tested using the PDF file from issue 2618, i.e. https://bug570667.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=226471, with the following manifest file:
```
[
{ "id": "issue2618",
"file": "../web/pdfs/issue2618.pdf",
"md5": "",
"rounds": 50,
"type": "eq"
}
]
```
which gave the following results when comparing this patch against the `master` branch:
```
-- Grouped By browser, stat --
browser | stat | Count | Baseline(ms) | Current(ms) | +/- | % | Result(P<.05)
------- | ------------ | ----- | ------------ | ----------- | --- | ---- | -------------
firefox | Overall | 50 | 3417 | 3426 | 9 | 0.27 |
firefox | Page Request | 50 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 5.41 |
firefox | Rendering | 50 | 3416 | 3426 | 9 | 0.27 |
```
Based on these results, there's no significant performance regression from using standard classes and this patch should thus be OK.
The done callbacks are an outdated mechanism to signal Jasmine that a
unit test is done, mostly in cases where a unit test needed to wait for
an asynchronous operation to complete before doing its assertions.
Nowadays a much better mechanism is in place for that, namely simply
passing an asynchronous function to Jasmine, so we don't need callbacks
anymore (which require more code and may be more difficult to reason
about).
In these particular cases though the done callbacks never had any real
use since nothing asynchronous happens in these places. Synchronous
functions don't need to use done callbacks since Jasmine simply knows
it's done when the function reaches its normal end, so we can safely get
rid of these callbacks. The telltale sign is if the done callback is
used unconditionally at the end of the function.
This is all done in an effort to over time get rid of all callbacks in
the unit test code.
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
* 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

Given that the API will now, after PR 12039, automatically pick the correct factories to use depending on the environment (browser vs. Node.js), we can utilize that in the unit-tests as well. This way we don't have to manually repeat the same initialization code in *multiple* unit-tests.
*Note:* The *official* PDF.js API is defined in `src/pdf.js`, hence the new exports in `src/display/api.js` will not affect that.
Also, updates the unit-test `FileReaderFactory` helpers similarily.
*Drive-by change:* Fix the `CMapReaderFactory` usage in the annotation unit-tests, since the cache should only contain raw data and not a Promise. While this obviously works as-is, having unit-tests that "abuse" the intended data format can easily lead to unnecessary failures if changes are made to the relevant `src/core/` code.
* 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, ...)
* When no actions then set it to null instead of empty object
* Even if a field has no actions, it needs to listen to events from the sandbox in order to be updated if an action changes something in it.
