*Please note:* This parameter has never been used within the PDF.js library/viewer itself, and it was only ever added for backwards compatibility reasons.
This parameter was added in PR 7475, over six years ago, to try and optionally maintain the previous *default* text-extraction behaviour.
However as part of the general text-extraction improvements in PR 13257, almost two years ago, the `disableCombineTextItems` functionality was accidentally "broken" in various ways. Note how the only (very basic) unit-test was updated in a way that doesn't really make sense, since generally speaking you'd expect that using the option should result in *more* (or at least the same number of) text-items. Furthermore there's also the recent issue 16209, where the option causes almost all textContent to be concatenated together.
Hence this patch proposes that we simply remove the `disableCombineTextItems` option since it's essentially unused/untested functionality, as evident from the fact that it took almost two years for someone to notice that it's broken.
Given that this functionality only applies in the viewer, when `PDFBug` is being enabled and used, it can't hurt to slightly reduce the size of this code.
This is something that I completely overlooked in PR 16162, which in some cases cause the default viewer to incorrectly print warnings.
This can be reproduced with the PAGE scrolling-mode, and/or the PresentationMode, and this patch simply work-around it by checking the visibility as well (since the warning is a best-effort solution anyway).
The `pageColors`-option was removed from the `CanvasGraphics`-constructor in PR 16075, hence the code in the API no longer needs to pass in that option; this is something that I missed during review.
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.
During review of PR 16151 this method was simplified, however I overlooked the fact that we now can (and really should) improve this by removing duplication.
Unfortunately I don't believe that we can simply add a default `--scale-factor` CSS-variable to the `container`-element, since that might not be entirely appropriate/correct in all cases.[1]
However, we can at least print a console-error to hopefully make this situation more apparent to users. (This is purposely not using the `warn` helper-function, since those messages can be disabled.)
---
[1] One example is in our reference-tests, where we don't need to add it to the `container`-element itself.
With the previous commit this is now completely unused in API, hence it can be removed. This is done in a separate commit to make it easier to re-instate it, would the need ever arise.
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
In the general PDF.js library multiple PDF documents may be opened on the same web-page, which is why we many years ago started using document-specific identifiers to prevent issues with global data such e.g. with fonts.
Hence we need to treat the identifiers generated by the `FilterFactory` in the same way, since the SVG-filters for two separate PDF documents may otherwise get identical ids.
The current value originated in PR 2317, and in the decade that have passed the amount of RAM available in (most) devices should have increased a fair bit.
Nowadays we also do a much better job of detecting repeated images at both the page- and document-level, which helps reduce overall memory-usage in many documents.
Finally the constant is also moved into the `src/shared/util.js` file, since it was implicitly used on both the main- and worker-thread previously.
Currently in PDF documents with large images we immediately cleanup once rendering has finished, in order to reduce memory-usage.
Normally that shouldn't be a big problem, however when e.g. repeated zooming happens in the viewer that could easily lead to a lot of wasted resources (and waiting).
Hence this patch, which introduces a new `PDFPageProxy` method that will slightly delay cleanup after rendering.
The dimensions still need to be fixed (from times to times they're in px)
but it doesn't have to be postponed anymore.
To test it: draw something and when resizing look at the dimensions of the div
in devtools, the units must be %.
This simply extends the approach in PR 10727 to also cover Patterns, which shouldn't be a common occurrence in Type3 fonts (since this is the first issue we've seen).
This was deprecated in PR 15758, which has now been included in three official PDF.js releases.
While PR 15880 did limit the bundle-size impact of this functionality on e.g. the Firefox PDF Viewer, it still leads to some unnecessary "bloat" that these changes remove.
Furthermore, with this being deprecated there'd also be no effort put into e.g. extending the `UNSUPPORTED_FEATURES` list when handling future error cases.
This was deprecated in PR 15943, which has now been included in two official PDF.js releases.
Given that `PDFDataRangeTransport` is somewhat unlikely to be used outside of the *built-in* Firefox PDF Viewer, it doesn't seem necessary to wait longer before removing this.
Also, removes the specific error-message for GENERIC builds to not unnecessarily "advertise" using non-objects when calling the `getDocument`-function.
*Please note:* This patch is written using the GitHub UI, since I'm currently without a dev machine, so hopefully it works correctly.
We introduced the use of OffscreenCanvas in #14754 and this patch aims
to use them for all kind of images.
It'll slightly improve performances (and maybe slightly decrease memory use).
Since an image can be rendered in using some transfer maps but because of
OffscreenCanvas we don't have the underlying pixels array the transfer maps
stuff is re-implemented in using the SVG filter feComponentTransfer.
Rather than repeatedly initializing a `canvasFactory`-instance for every page, move it to the document-level instead.
*Please note:* This patch is written using the GitHub UI, since I'm currently without a dev machine, so hopefully it works correctly.
Currently some `getCtx` calls will have `isOffscreenCanvasSupported === undefined` set, meaning that `OffscreenCanvas` isn't being used as intended, since no `TextLayerRenderTask._isOffscreenCanvasSupported` property exists.
*Please note:* This patch is written using the GitHub UI, since I'm currently without a dev machine, so hopefully it works correctly.
I noticed several 'Path not found' errors because of a field called #subform[2].
From the XFA specs, the hash is used for a class of elements in the template tree.
When we're looking for a node in the datasets tree, it doesn't make sense to search
for a class. Hence the path element starting with a hash are just skipped.
With upcoming changes we'll potentially start to cache `ImageBitmap` data at the document-level, in addition to just at the page-level.
Hence we need to ensure that such data is actually released on clean-up, and rather than duplicating the existing *manual* handling this code is instead moved into the `PDFObjects.clear` method. (In my opinion, this is an overall improvement even without globally cached `ImageBitmap` data.)
*Please note:* This patch is written using the GitHub UI, since I'm currently without a dev machine, so hopefully it's correct and makes sense.
The `Buffer`-object is Node.js specific functionality[1], thus (obviously) not found in browsers. Please note that the PDF.js library has never officially supported/documented that binary data can be passed as a `Buffer`, and that *internally* in the `src/core`-code we only work with standard `Uint8Array`s.
This means that if, in Node.js environments, a `Buffer` is passed to the API we need to wrap it into a `Uint8Array`, which essentially means creating a copy of the data and thus increasing memory usage.
---
[1] Refer to https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer
Currently we duplicate the same code more than once in the `test/driver.js` file, which we can avoid by adding a new `AnnotationStorage` helper method instead.
By default we're using worker-thread fetching (in browsers) of this data nowadays, however in Node.js environments or if the user provides custom factories we still fallback to main-thread fetching.
Hence it makes sense, as far as I'm concerned, to move this initialization into the `getDocument` function to ensure that the factories can actually be initialized *before* attempting to load the document.
Also, this further reduces the amount of `getDocument` parameters that we need to pass into into the `WorkerTransport` class.
Currently we're passing all available parameters to this function respectively class, despite that not actually being necessary.
By splitting the parameters we not only improve the structure, and basically "document" the code a little bit, but we can also simplify the `_fetchDocument` function considerably.
This is very old code, where we loop through the user-provided options and build an internal parameter object. To prevent errors we also need to ensure that the parameters are correct/valid, which is especially important for the ones that are sent to the worker-thread such that structured cloning won't fail.[1]
Over the years this has led to more and more code being added in `getDocument` to validate the user-provided options, and at this point *most* of them have at least basic validation. However the way that this is implemented feels slightly backwards, since we first build the internal parameter object and only *afterwards* validate those parameters.[2]
Hence this patch changes the `getDocument` function to instead check/validate the supported options upfront, and then *explicitly* build the internal parameter object with only the needed properties.
---
[1] Note the supported types at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API/Structured_clone_algorithm#supported_types
[2] The internal parameter object may also, because of the loop, end up with lots of unnecessary properties since anything that the user provides is being copied.
A number of methods have their Promises cached, to avoid repeated worker round-trips, since they're expected to be called more than once from the default viewer. The way that the caching is currently implemented means that we need to remember to manually clear these Promises on document cleanup/destruction, and it'd be nice to avoid that.
With this patch the relevant Promises are now instead placed in just one `Map`, which is easy to clear, and a new helper method is also introduced to reduce duplication for *simple* `WorkerTransport` methods.
The only parameter that we actually need here is the `PDFDataRangeTransport`-instance, since the others are not necessary.
- The `url` parameter, as passed to the `getDocument` function in the API, is simply being ignored; see 2d87a2eb1c/src/display/api.js (L447-L458)
- The `length` parameter, as passed to the `getDocument` function in the API, is always being overwritten; see 2d87a2eb1c/src/display/api.js (L519-L525)
Until PR 12563 is deemed safe to land, I'd still like to be able to use worker-modules in the viewer during local development.
Hence this patch which *temporarily* adds a new `workerModules` hash-parameter, only available in non-PRODUCTION mode, that allows using worker-modules in the development viewer.
To enable this functionality, simply use http://localhost:8888/web/viewer.html#workerModules=true
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.
Until just recently the only existing `Path2D` polyfill didn't have support for Node.js and/or the `node-canvas` package. Given that this was just fixed, in the latest version, we can now finally remove our inline-checks at the relevant call-sites; please also see https://github.com/nilzona/path2d-polyfill#usage-with-node-canvas
There's really no need for these "complicated" default value assignments, since `GlobalWorkerOptions` is a local variable at this point, and this is rather a case of too much copy-and-paste.
Note that years ago, when all options were set using a global `PDFJS` object, it's possible that options had been set (from the outside) *before* the object had been properly initialized; see e.g. a89071bdef/src/display/global.js
In general it's always recommended to pass a *parameter object* when calling the `getDocument`-function in the API, since that's the only way to provide additional options, and the fact that it also accepts a URL or TypedArray directly is now mostly for backwards compatibility reasons.
Unfortunately we cannot really remove this, since that code has existed since "forever", however we can limit it to only the GENERIC build to avoid completely unnecessary checks in e.g. the Firefox PDF Viewer.
Finally, note that the default-viewer always provides a *parameter object* when calling the `getDocument`-function and it's thus completely unaffected by these changes.
- Use a `URL`-instance directly, since it's by definition an absolute URL.
- Actually limit the "raw" url-string handling to Node.js environments, as intended.
- Skip the warning, since we're already throwing an Error if the `url`-parameter is invalid.
In general it's recommended to pass a *parameter object* when calling the `getDocument`-function in the API, since that's the only way to provide additional options, and the fact that it also accepts a URL or TypedArray directly is now mostly for backwards compatibility reasons.
However, the `getDocument`-function also accepts a direct `PDFDataRangeTransport`-instance which just seems unnecessary.
*Please note:* The `PDFDataRangeTransport`-implementation was added specifically for the *built-in* Firefox PDF Viewer, however it's most likely not commonly used by any third-party (given that it requires manual PDF-data loading).
Furthermore, the default-viewer always provides a *parameter object* when calling the `getDocument`-function and it's thus completely unaffected by these changes.
This patch removes the recently introduced `transferPdfData` API-option, and simply enables transferring of TypedArray data *by default* instead of copying it. This will help reduce main-thread memory usage, however it will take ownership of the TypedArrays. Currently this only applies to the following cases:
- TypedArrays passed to the `getDocument`-function in the API, in order to open PDF documents from binary data.
- TypedArrays passed to a `PDFDataRangeTransport`-instance, used to support custom PDF document fetching/loading (see e.g. the Firefox PDF Viewer).
*PLEASE NOTE:* To avoid being affected by this, please simply *copy* any TypedArray data before passing it to either of the functions/methods mentioned above.
Now that we transfer TypedArray data that we previously only copied, we need to be more careful with input validation. Given how the `{IPDFStreamReader, IPDFStreamRangeReader}.read` methods will always return ArrayBuffer data, which is then transferred to the worker-thread[1], the actual TypedArray data passed to the API thus need to have the same exact size as its underlying ArrayBuffer to prevent issues.
Hence we'll check for this and only allow transferring of *safe* TypedArray data, and fallback to simply copying the data just as before. This obviously shouldn't be an issue in the Firefox PDF Viewer, but for the general PDF.js library we need to be more careful here.
---
[1] See e09ad99973/src/display/api.js (L2492-L2506) respectively e09ad99973/src/display/api.js (L2578-L2590)
Note how in the API we're transferring the PDF data that's fetched over the network[1]:
- f28bf23a31/src/display/api.js (L2467-L2480)
- f28bf23a31/src/display/api.js (L2553-L2564)
To support that functionality we have the `PDFDataTransportStream`, `PDFFetchStream`, `PDFNetworkStream`, and `PDFNodeStream` implementations. Here these stream-implementations vary slightly in how they handle `ArrayBuffer`s internally, w.r.t. transferring or copying the data:
- In `PDFDataTransportStream` we optionally, after PR 15908, allow transferring of the PDF data as provided externally (used e.g. in the Firefox PDF Viewer).
- In `PDFFetchStream` we're currenly always copying the PDF data returned by the Fetch API, which seems unnecessary. As discussed in PR 15908, it'd seem very weird if this sort of browser API didn't allow transferring of the returned data.
- In `PDFNetworkStream` we're already, since many years, transferring the PDF data returned by the `XMLHttpRequest` functionality. Note how the `getArrayBuffer` helper function simply returns an `ArrayBuffer` response as-is.
- In `PDFNodeStream` we're currently copying the PDF data, however this is unfortunately necessary since Node.js returns data as a `Buffer` object[2].
Given that the `PDFNetworkStream` has been, indirectly, supporting transferring of PDF data for years it would seem really strange if this didn't also apply to the `PDFFetchStream`-implementation.
Hence this patch simply enables transferring of PDF data, when accessed using the Fetch API, unconditionally to help reduced main-thread memory usage since the `PDFFetchStream`-implementation is used *by default* in browsers (for the GENERIC build).
---
[1] As opposed to PDF data being provided as e.g. a TypedArray when calling `getDocument` in the API.
[2] This is a "special" Node.js object, see https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer, which doesn't exist in browsers.
Also, removes the `initialData`-parameter JSDocs for the `getDocument`-function given that this parameter has been completely unused since PR 8982 (over five years ago). Note that the `initialData`-parameter is, and always was, intended to be provided when initializing a `PDFDataRangeTransport`-instance.
Given that this is internal functionality, not exposed in the official API, it's not entirely clear (at least to me) why we can't just initialize this directly in `src/display/api.js` instead.
When testing both the development viewer and all the ways in which we run tests, everthing still appears to work just fine with this patch.
This was deprecated in PR 15758 but it's unfortunately quite difficult to tell if third-party users are depending on this, e.g. to implement custom error reporting, and if so to what extent.
However, thanks to the pre-processor we can limit *most* of this code to GENERIC builds which still seem like a worthwhile change.
These changes reduce the bundle size of the Firefox PDF Viewer by 3.8 kB in total.
This was deprecated in PR 15758 and given that it's quite unlikely that any third-party users are relying on this functionality, since it was only ever added to support telemetry reporting in the Firefox PDF Viewer, it should hopefully be fine to remove this fairly quickly.
These changes reduce the bundle size of the Firefox PDF Viewer by 4.5 kB in total.
Given that the Fetch API only supports the http/https protocols, worker-thread fetching of CMaps and Standard-fonts may thus fail in certain cases. To improve the default behaviour we'll now also check that the `cMapUrl` and `standardFontDataUrl` options are appropriate, except in Firefox where this should always work.
Note how, in the scripting initialization in the viewer, we only ever invoke `PDFPageProxy.getJSActions` *once* per page in order to improve overall performance; see a575aa13b9/web/pdf_scripting_manager.js (L372-L375)
Hence it really shouldn't be necessary to cache its result in the API, especially when that is done *manually* rather than using something like `shadow`.
When we're destroying a `PDFPageProxy`-instance, during full document destruction, we'll force-abort any worker-thread parsing of operatorLists. Hence we should make sure that any pending cancel timeout is always aborted, since a later `PDFPageProxy._abortOperatorList` call should always "replace" a previous one.
*Please note:* Technically this was always wrong, but with the changes in PR 15825 it became *ever so slightly* easier to trigger this thanks to the potentially longer timeout.
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.
This is done to support upcoming viewer-changes, and in order to prevent third-party users from outright breaking things we'll simply ignore too large values.
It's a follow-up of #14950: some format actions are ran when the document is open
but we must be sure we've everything ready for that, hence we have to run some
named actions before runnig the global format.
In playing with the form, I discovered that the blur event wasn't triggered when
JS called `setFocus` (because in such a case the mouse was never down). So I removed
the mouseState thing to just use the correct commitKey when blur is triggered by a
TAB key.
In order to move the annotations in the DOM to have something which corresponds
to the visual order, we need to have their dimensions/positions which means that
the parent must have some dimensions.
While reviewing recent patches, I couldn't help but noticing that we now have a lot of call-sites that manually access the `PageViewport.viewBox`-property.
Rather than repeating that verbatim all over the code-base, this patch adds a lazily computed and cached getter for this data instead.
This was essentially done only to compensate for the viewer calling `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations` unconditionally on every annotationLayer-rendering invocation. With the previous patch that's no longer happening, and this API-caching should thus no longer be necessary.
An annotation editor layer can be destroyed when it's invisible, hence some
annotations can have a null parent but when printing/saving or when changing
font size, color, ... of all added annotations (when selected with ctrl+a) we
still need to have some parent properties especially the page dimensions, global
scale factor and global rotation angle.
This patch aims to remove all the references to the parent in the editor instances
except in some cases where an editor should obviously have one.
It fixes#15780.
The main issue is due to the fact that an editor's parent can be null when
we want to serialize it and that lead to an exception which break all the
saving/printing process.
So this incomplete patch fixes only the saving/printing issue but not the
underlying problem (i.e. having a null parent) and doesn't bring that much
complexity, so it should help to uplift it the next Firefox release.
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.
*Please note:* I don't really expect that this is will be an observable change, since virtually all PDF documents already order e.g. /MediaBox and /CropBox entries correctly.
By normalizing boundingBoxes already on the worker-thread, we can be sure that even a corrupt document won't cause issues.
Note how we're passing the `view`-getter to the `PartialEvaluator.getTextContent` method, in order to detect textContent which is outside of the page, hence it makes sense to ensure that it's formatted as expected.
Furthermore, by normalizing this once on the worker-tread we should no longer have to worry about a possibly negative width/height in the `PageViewport` constructor.
Finally, the patch also simplifies the `view`-getter a little bit.
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.
The deprecation is included in the current release, i.e. version `3.1.81`, and given the edge-case nature of this option I really don't think that we need to keep it deprecated for multiple releases.
Currently both of the `AnnotationElement` and `KeyboardManager` classes contain *identical* `platform` getters, which seems like unnecessary duplication.
With the pre-processor we can also limit the feature-testing to only GENERIC builds, since `navigator` should always be available in browsers.
Add a deprecation notification for PDFDocumentLoadingTask.onUnsupportedFeature and PDFDocumentProxy.stats
which are likely useless.
The unsupported feature stuff have initially been added in (#4048) in order to be able to display a
warning bar and to help to have some numbers to know how a feature was used.
Those data are no more used in Firefox.
This is very old code, which is unused (by default) in browsers nowadays since the Font Loading API will always be preferred.
For Node.js environments we use the same constant as elsewhere throughout the code-base, and we can also simplify the Firefox-specific check given that the lowest supported version is `102` (as of this writing).
Finally the old TODO is removed, since the general availability of the Font Loading API has made it redundant.
This has never really been used anywhere within the PDF.js library[1], and when streaming of textContent was introduced this parameter was effectively made redundant.
Note that when streaming of textContent is used, all text-layout has already happened by the time that this `timeout`-functionality is actually invoked (thus making it pointless).
While the `timeout`-functionality may still "work" when the textContent is provided upfront, although it's never been used/tested, streaming will generally perform better (in e.g. a viewer setting).
*Please note:* While unrelated here, also removes a now unused property that I forgot in PR 15259.
---
[1] At least not since the code was moved into its current file, which happened in PR 6619 and landed seven years ago.
This can't be a particularly common feature, since we've supported Optional Content for over two years and this is the very first TilingPattern-case we've seen.
The reason for the issue is that we use the generic `getFilenameFromUrl` helper function, which was originally intended for regular URLs.
For the filenames we're dealing with in FileAttachments, we really only want to strip the path when one exists[1].
---
[1] See [bug 1230933](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1230933) for an example of such a case.
With modern EcmaScript features, we can define these fields directly instead. Please note that for backwards compatibility purposes they are still public as before, however note that this functionality is *disabled* by default (see the `pdfBug` API option).
Also, we can (slightly) simplify the two loops used in the `toString` method.
These fields were never intended to be public, since modifying them manually would lead to inconsistent state, and with modern EcmaScript features we can now enforce this.
Also, this patch removes a couple of JSDoc comments that we generally don't use.
- 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.
PR 13725 was only intended as a temporary work-around, and it seems that we can now revert that.
- Firefox 102 is the currently maintained ESR-branch, and the PDF.js project only supports the active one.
- Node.js now works, thanks to the `node-canvas` package, and I've confirmed locally that following the STR in issue 13724 generates a correct image.
- When we're editing some annotations, keeping the role="text-box" make them visible
as editable and VoiceOver (Mac) is able to read the contents when they're focused;
- Add an attribute "aria-activedescendant" in order to make the content discoverable
by NVDA on Windows.
Note how we're currently skipping all main-thread cleanup when document destruction has started, but for some reason we're still dispatching the "Cleanup" message.
This seems like a simple oversight, since destruction will already invoke the `BasePdfManager.cleanup` method (on the worker-thread) to fully clear-out all caches.
When a new PDF document is opened in the GENERIC viewer we (obviously) create a new `AnnotationEditorUIManager`-instance, since those are document-specific, and thus we need to ensure that we actually register the `editorTypes` for each one.
Looking at the code on the worker-thread, there doesn't appear to be any particular reason for placing *some* of the properties in a `source`-object when sending them with "GetDocRequest".
As is often the case the explanation for this structure is rather "for historical reasons", since originally we simply sent the `source`-object as-is. Doing that was obviously a bad idea, for a couple of reasons:
- It makes it less clear what is/isn't actually needed on the worker-thread.
- Sending unused properties will unnecessarily increase memory usage.
- The `source`-object may contain unclonable data, which would break the library.
Rather than sending all of these parameters individually and then grouping them together on the worker-thread, we can simply handle that in the API instead.
This patch first of all makes `isOffscreenCanvasSupported` configurable, defaulting to `true` in browsers and `false` in Node.js environments, with a new `getDocument` parameter. While you normally want to use this, in order to improve performance, it should still be possible for users to control it (similar to e.g. `isEvalSupported`).
The specific problem, as reported in issue 14952, is that the SVG back-end doesn't support the new ImageMask data-format that's introduced in PR 14754. In particular:
- When the SVG back-end is used in Node.js environments, this patch will "just work" without the user needing to make any code changes.
- If the SVG back-end is used in browsers, this patch will require that `isOffscreenCanvasSupported: false` is added to the `getDocument`-call.
*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.
