There's a number of issues with the fonts in the referenced PDF file. First of all, they contain broken `ToUnicode` data (`NUL` bytes all over the place). However even if you skip those, the `ToUnicode` data appears to contain nothing but a `IdentityH` CMap which won't help provide a proper glyph mapping.
The real issue actually turns out to be that the PDF file uses the "Calibri" font[1], but doesn't include any font files. Since that one isn't a standard font, and uses a fairly different CID to GID map compared to the standard fonts, we're not able to render the file even remotely correct.
To work around this, I'm thus proposing that we include a (incomplete) glyph map for Calibri, and fallback to the standard Helvetica font. Obviously this isn't going to look perfect, but it's really the best that we can hope to achieve given that the PDF file is missing the necessary font data.
Finally, please note that none of the PDF readers I've tried (Adobe Reader, PDFium in Chrome) were able to extract the text (which isn't very surprising, given the broken `ToUnicode` data).
Fixes 9195.

[1] According to Wikipedia, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibri, Calibri is (primarily) a Windows font.
In some fonts, the included `ToUnicode` data is incomplete causing text-selection to not work properly. For simple fonts that contain encoding data, we can manually build a `ToUnicode` map to attempt to improve things.
Please note that since we're currently using the `ToUnicode` data during glyph mapping, in an attempt to avoid rendering regressions, I purposely didn't want to amend to original `ToUnicode` data for this text-selection edge-case.
Instead, I opted for the current solution, which will (hopefully) give slightly better text-extraction results in PDF file with incomplete `ToUnicode` data.
According to the PDF specification, see [section 9.10.2](http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#G8.1873172):
> A conforming reader can use these methods, in the priority given, to map a character code to a Unicode value.

Reading that paragraph literally, it doesn't seem too unreasonable to use *different* methods for different charcodes.
Fixes 8229.
In the PDF file, the `ToUnicode` data first maps the hyphen correctly, and then *overwrites* it to point to the softhyphen instead. That one cannot be rendered in browsers, and an empty space thus appear instead.
Fixes 9084.
Moreover, adjust one linked test case that did not conform to the
standard Web Archive URL format and adjust one linked test case because
the link was dead.
This patch makes use of the existing `ignoreErrors` property in `src/core/evaluator.js`, see PRs 8240 and 8441, thus allowing us to attempt to recovery as much as possible of a page even when it contains broken XObjects.
Fixes 8702.
Fixes 8704.
Bug 1392647 has a PDF where the default width of the font
is 0. It draws some charcodes that don't have glyphs, but
we were wrongly using the 1000 default width for these
charcodes causing some text to be overlapping.
(for issue #6289)
This does the same for 16 bit as the existing 8 bit tiff predictor code, an addition of the last word to this word.
The last two "& 0xFF" may or may not be needed, I see this isn't done in the 8 bit code, but I'm not a JS developer.
Rather than displaying links that does *nothing* when clicked, it probably makes more sense to simply not render them instead. Especially since it turns out that, at least at this point in time, this is *very* easy to both implement and test.
Fixes 3897.
Since this patch will now treat (some) `NUL` bytes as "ASCII", the number of `followingBytes` checked are thus increased to (hopefully) reduce the risk of introducing new false positives.
Fixes 8823.
In issue #8707, there's a char code mapped to a non-
existing glyph which shouldn't be drawn. However, we
saw it was missing and tried to then use the post table and
end up mapping it incorrectly.
This illuminated a problem with issue #5704 and bug
893730 where glyphs disappeared after above fix. This was
from the cmap returning the wrong glyph id. Which in turn was
caused because the font had multiple of the same type of cmap
table and we were choosing the last one. Now, we instead
default to the first one. I'm unsure if we should instead be
merging the multiple cmaps, but using only the first one works.
The PDF file uses a non-embedded SegoeUISymbol font, which is *not* a standard font (and is mainly used by Microsoft, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segoe).
Fixes 8697.
Issue 7696 was one of the issues fixed by PR 8580. The other ones were all cases of missing glyphs, however in this particular one glyphs did render but every single one was incorrect.
Hence it probably cannot hurt to have a small, reduced, reference test for that PDF file as well.
Use the environment's zlib implementation if available to get
reasonably-sized SVG files when an XObject image is converted to PNG.
The generated PNG is not optimal because we do not use a PNG predictor.
Futher, when our SVG backend is run in a browser, the generated PNG
images will still be unnecessarily large (though the use of blob:-URLs
when available should reduce the impact on memory usage). If we want to
optimize PNG images in browsers too, we can either try to use a DEFLATE
library such as pako, or re-use our XObject image painting logic in
src/display/canvas.js. This potential improvement is not implemented by
this commit
Tested with:
- Node.js 8.1.3 (uses zlib)
- Node.js 0.11.12 (uses zlib)
- Node.js 0.10.48 (falls back to inferior existing implementation).
- Chrome 59.0.3071.86
- Firefox 54.0
Tests:
Unit test on Node.js:
```
$ gulp lib
$ JASMINE_CONFIG_PATH=test/unit/clitests.json node ./node_modules/.bin/jasmine --filter=SVG
```
Unit test in browser: Run `gulp server` and open
http://localhost:8888/test/unit/unit_test.html?spec=SVGGraphics
To verify that the patch works as desired,
```
$ node examples/node/pdf2svg.js test/pdfs/xobject-image.pdf
$ du -b svgdump/xobject-image-1.svg
# ^ Calculates the file size. Confirm that the size is small
# (784 instead of 80664 bytes).
```
This is a trivial follow-up to PR 5383, and it's a bit strange that this has been wrong since late 2014 without anyone noticing (maybe because inline images aren't too common).
So, apparently code works better if you actually spell correctly, who knew ;-)
Fixes 8613.
