After the changes in PR 15812 we'll now *intermittently* display completely black canvases during zooming. To reproduce this, try switching to wrapped-scrolling and zoom in/out very quickly using either the mouse-wheel or pinching.
This tweaks a few name that originated in PR 15812, to improve overall consistency:
- Use the `drawingDelay` parameter-name in all methods that accept a delay.
- Use the `postponeDrawing` variable-name in all relevant methods.
Given that we only render one page at a time, this will lead to only *one* page-loadingIcon being displayed at a time even if multiple pages are visible in the viewer. However, this will make it clearer which page is the currently parsing/rendering one.
To simplify toggling of the page-loadingIcon visibility, the existing `PDFPageView.renderingState` is changed into a getter/setter-pair with the latter also handling the page-loadingIcon state.
An additional benefit of these changes is that the `PDFViewer` no longer needs to handling toggling of page-loadingIcon visibility during rendering, since there can only ever be *one* page rendering.
Finally, this may also simplify future changes w.r.t. page-loadingIcon visibility toggling (using e.g. a show-timeout).
The rotation-caching added in PR 15812 completely breaks initialization of PDF documents with varying page sizes, causing all pages to wrongly get the same size; see e.g. `sizes.pdf` from the test-suite.
To fix that without having to e.g. add a new parameter, which feels error prone, this patch changes the `PDFPageView.#setDimensions` method to completely ignore the rotation-caching until the `setPdfPage`-method has been called.
Right now, the visible pages are redrawn for each scale change.
Consequently, zooming with mouse wheel or in pinching can be pretty janky
(even on a desktop machine but with a hdpi screen).
So the main idea in this patch is to draw the visible pages only once zooming
is finished.
After the changes in PR 15829 the `loadingIconDiv` is no longer always visible when it should be, specifically in the case where we cancel and re-render a partially parsed/rendered page.
To reproduce this, try opening https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/files/1522715/wuppertal_2012.pdf in the viewer and change the zoom level while rendering is ongoing. In this case the `loadingIconDiv` doesn't actually become visible, despite being present in the DOM, since it's no longer at the end of the page-div.
I don't know to what extent this renders PR 15829 "pointless", however we're not repeatedly re-creating and re-inserting the `loadingIconDiv` but rather just *move* the existing element in the DOM.
We'll no longer import the `SimpleLinkService` dependency unconditionally in the file, since it's only used in COMPONENTS-builds.
Furthermore, for the COMPONENTS-builds, we'll create a `SimpleLinkService`-instance only for those layers that actually need it.
Please note that this functionality has never really mattered for the Firefox PDF Viewer, the GENERIC viewer, or even the "simpleviewer"/"singlepageviewer" component-examples. Hence, in practice this means that only the "pageviewer" component-example[1] have ever really utilized this.
Using factories to initialize various layers in the viewer, rather than simply invoking the relevant code directly, seems (at least to me) like a somewhat roundabout way of doing things.
Not only does this lead to more code, both to write and maintain, but since many of the layers have common parameters (e.g. an `AnnotationStorage`-instance) there's also some duplication.
Hence this patch, which removes the `xfaLayerFactory` and instead uses a lookup-function in the `PDFPageView`-class to access the external viewer-properties as necessary.
Note that this should even be an improvement for the "pageviewer" component-example, since most layers will now work by default rather than require manual configuration.

Currently we'll only initialize and render the `annotationEditorLayer` once the regular `annotationLayer` has been rendered.
While it obviously makes sense to render the `annotationEditorLayer` *last*, the way that the code is currently written means that if a third-party user disables the `annotationLayer` then the editing-functionality indirectly becomes disabled as well.
Given that this seems like a somewhat arbitrary limitation, this patch simply decouples these two layers while still keeping the rendering order consistent.
By moving this code the "pageviewer"-component example will become slightly more usable on its own, it may simplify a future addition of XFA Foreground document support, and finally also serves as preparation for the following patches.
Depending on e.g. the `textLayerMode` option it might not actually be necessary to always initialize this eagerly.
*Please note:* Unfortunately we cannot `shadow` a private field, hence why this is only made semi-"private".
It doesn't seem necessary to have a *separate* `destroy` method given that the `cancel` method always invokes it unconditionally.
In the `PDFPageView.reset` method we currently attempt to call `destroy` directly, however that'll never actually happen since either:
- We're keeping the annotationEditorLayer, in which case we're just hiding the layer and nothing more (and the relevant branch is never entered).
- We're removing the annotationEditorLayer, in which case the `PDFPageView.cancelRendering` method has already cancelled *and* nulled it (and there's thus nothing left to `destroy` here).
*Please note:* Hopefully I'm not overlooking something obvious here, since both reading through the code *and* also adding `console.log(this.annotationEditorLayer);` [before this line](9d4aadbf7a/web/pdf_page_view.js (L438)) suggests that it's indeed unnecessary.
Rather than handling these parameters separately, which is a left-over from back when streaming of textContent was originally added, we can simply pass either data directly to the `TextLayer` and let it handle things accordingly.
Also, improves a few JSDoc comments and `typedef`-imports.
Compared to the recent PR 15722 for the `textLayer` this one should be a (comparatively) much a smaller win overall, since most documents don't have any structTree-data and the required parsing should be cheaper. However, it seems to me that it cannot hurt to improve this nonetheless.
Note that by moving the `structTreeLayer` initialization we remove the need for the "textlayerrendered" event listener, which thus simplifies the code a little bit.
Also, removes the API-caching of the structTree-data since this was basically done to offset the lack of caching in the viewer.
The idea is just to resuse what we got on the first draw.
Now, we only update the scaleX of the different spans and the other values
are dependant of --scale-factor.
Move some properties in the CSS in order to avoid any updates in JS.
This patch updates a bunch of older code, that makes conditional function calls, to use optional chaining rather than `if`-blocks.
These mostly mechanical changes reduce the size of the `gulp mozcentral` build by a little over 1 kB.
*This is a follow-up to PR 14869.*
In the old code we're accidentally "swallowing" part of the event-details, which explains why the annotationLayer didn't render.
One thing that made debugging a lot harder was the lack of error messages, from the viewer, and a few `PDFPageView`-methods were updated to improve this situation.
This patch doesn't structurally change the text layer: it just adds some aria-owns
attributes to some spans.
The aria-owns attribute expect to have an element id, hence it's why it adds back an
id on the element rendering an annotation, but this id is built in using crypto.randomUUID
to avoid any potential issues with the hash in the url.
The elements in the annotation layer are moved into the DOM in order to have them in the
same "order" as they visually are.
The overall goal is to help screen readers to present to the user the annotations as
they visually are and as they come in the text flow.
It is clearly not perfect, but it should improve readability for some people with visual
disabilities.
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 all of these factories take a bunch of (randomly ordered) parameters, which first of all doesn't look that nice in the `PDFPageView`-class when some parameters are optional.
Furthermore, it also makes deprecation/removal of any existing parameter a *potentially* breaking change.
Finally, using an Object will provide a small amount of "documentation" at the call-site which isn't really the case with a bunch of "regular" parameters.
Note that all of the `viewer component` examples still work as-is with this patch, which is why I don't believe that we necessarily have to deprecate in the usual fashion.
Rather than always disable `PDFThumbnailView.setImage` as soon as user has changed the visibility of the Optional Content, we can utilize the new method added in the previous patch to improve thumbnail performance. Note in particular how, in the old code, even *resetting* of the Optional Content to its default state wouldn't enable `PDFThumbnailView.setImage` again.
While slightly unrelated, this patch also removes the `PDFThumbnailViewer._optionalContentConfigPromise`-property since it's completely unused.
Given that the SVG back-end is not defined anywhere except in GENERIC builds, we can remove a bit more unnecessary code in e.g. the Firefox PDF Viewer.

- 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).
Given that the SVG back-end is not defined anywhere except in GENERIC builds, we can remove a little bit of unnecessary code in e.g. the Firefox PDF Viewer.
Over time, as we've been introducing JavaScript code to modify CSS variables, we've been adding shorthand properties to various classes to reduce unnecessary repetition when accessing the document-styles.
Rather than repeating this in multiple places, it seems overall simpler to just introduce a constant and re-use that throughout the viewer instead.
