Currently the `deprecated` message is using `warn`, meaning that it's possible to disable warnings about deprecated API usage through the `PDFJS.verbosity` setting.
I don't think that it should be possible to opt out of deprecation messages,[1] since it might mean that in a custom deployment of PDF.js these messages could be overlooked, leading to PDF.js being broken (seemingly without any warning) when updating to a future version.
Obviously this could be considered the responsibility of the people doing custom PDF.js implementations, but in order to reduce the support burden later on, it seems better to "annoy" people upfront.
Compared to various `info`/`warn`/`error` messages, `deprecated` messages should be very simple to get rid of -- just update the API usage and the message goes away!

Re: issue 5089.
(Note that since there are other outline features that we currently don't support, e.g. bold/italic text and custom colours, I thus think we can keep the referenced issue open.)
It seems to be fairly common for OCR software to include incomplete TrueType fonts, notable missing the "glyf" table, in PDF files. Since we currently reject such fonts, the result is that text-selection/copying is broken.
This patch contains a suggested approach to try and use these kind of broken fonts, by using existing code in `sanitizeGlyphLocations` to replace a missing "glyf" table with dummy data.
Fixes 4684.
Fixes 6007.
Fixes 6829.
The Firefox addon currently fails with:
```
SyntaxError: missing ; before statement pdf.js:1692:12
TypeError: PDFJS.shadow is not a function viewer.js:6228:12
```
*This patch follows a similar idea as PR 5756.*
The patch is based on the nice debugging done by Brendan in the referenced issue 6782.
A better way to handle this, and similar issues, would probably be to completely ignore what the PDF file claims about font type/subtype, and just check the actual data. But until that kind of rewrite happens, this patch should help.
Fixes 6782.
Apparently some PDF files can have annotations with `URI` entries ending with `null` characters, thus breaking the links.
To handle this edge-case of bad PDFs, this patch moves the already existing utility function from `ui_utils.js` into `util.js`, in order to fix those URLs.
Fixes 6832.
Currently we're not applying Patterns for text, but only for graphics.
This patch is unfortunately not a complete solution, but rather a step on the way, since there are still some PDF files where the Patterns look more like a solid colour, rather than the intended gradient.
I've been unable to fix these issues completely, and I've not managed to determine if the remaining issues are caused either by the pattern code, the canvas code, or perhaps both.
However, given that even this simple patch improves the current situation quite a bit, I figured that it couldn't hurt to submit it as-is.
- Fixes 5804.
- Fixes 6130.
- Improves 3988 a lot, since the text is now visible. However, it looks like the text is *one* solid colour, instead of the correct gradient.
- Improves 5432, since the text is no longer gray. (This file also suffers from the same problem as the previous one.)
Most code for Popup annotations is already present for Text annotations.
This patch extracts the popup creation logic from the Text annotation
code so it can be reused for Popup annotations.
Not only does this add support for Popup annotations, the Text
annotation code is also considerably easier. If a `Popup` entry is
available for a Text annotation, it will not be more than an image. The
popup will be handled by the Popup annotation. However, it is also
possible for Text annotations to not have a separate Popup annotation,
in which case the Text annotation handles the popup creation itself.
