Even though the PDF specification does not state that `Opt` fields are
inheritable, in practice there are PDF generators that let annotations
inherit the options from a parent.
This fixes something that I noticed while working with the code in `Catalog.getPageDict` when debugging issue 8088.
Note that while I don't have an example where this patch really matters, given that e.g. `PartialEvaluator.hasBlendModes` depends on the `objId` to avoid cyclic references this patch could potentially help for some PDF files.
As discussed on IRC, we need to check all nodes at the *bottom* of the tree to ensure that we find the correct `Page` dict.
Furthermore, this patch also gets rid of the caching present in a previous version, since it's not clear if that really helps.
Note that this patch purposely adds an `eq` test, using a reduced test-case, so that we can be sure that the algorithm actually finds the correct `Page` dict for each `pageIndex`.
Fixes 8088.
[api-minor] Refactor fetching of built-in CMaps to utilize a factory on the `display` side instead, to allow users of the API to provide a custom CMap loading factory (e.g. for use with Node.js)
Currently the built-in CMap files are loaded in `src/core/cmap.js` using `XMLHttpRequest` directly. For some environments that might be a problem, hence this patch refactors that to instead use a factory to load built-in CMaps on the main thread and message the data to the worker thread.
This is inspired by other recent work, e.g. the addition of the `CanvasFactory`, and to a large extent on the IRC discussion starting at http://logs.glob.uno/?c=mozilla%23pdfjs&s=12+Oct+2016&e=12+Oct+2016#c53010.
Previously, we had a function called `getDefaultAppearance`. This name,
however, is misleading as the method gets the normal appearance (in the
`N` entry) and not the default appearance (in the `DA` entry). Moreover,
it was not entirely clear how it works just from reading the code. It
primarily lacks comments and explicit error case handling.
This patch improves the situation by fixing the issues mentioned above
and making this function a proper method of the `Annotation` class, just
like e.g., `setColor` and `setBorderStyle`.
This patch basically reverts one aspect of TrueType (3, 1) cmap parsing to the state prior to PR 4259. After that PR, a number of regressions occurred in this particular code-path, which necessitated a number of follow-ups such as PRs 5703, 5743, and 6425.
The empirical data suggests, at least to me, that we should always prefer a (3, 1) cmap for TrueType fonts when they have an encoding, regardless of the Symbolic font flag.
Obviously this patch passes all unit/font/reference tests locally, and I made sure that all the PRs mentioned above landed with test-cases included.
However, in my opinion, there's still a very real possibility that this patch could potentially cause new regressions.
Given that the PDF file in bug 1337429 has been broken for almost *three* years before anyone noticed, and considering that the code-path in question has been the source of numerous regressions, I do *not* intend to request uplift of this patch to previous Firefox versions (assuming that it's even accepted).
Fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1337429.
*Please note:* The rendering of the PDF file in issue 8061 first regressed in PR 7039, and then PR 7493 exacerbated the problem even further by causing an infinite loop.
In this particular case, when errors were encountered inside of the `Lexer.getObject` method *itself*, we didn't advance the stream position. This thus caused an inifinite loop in `parseCMap`, since the exact same character was then parsed over and over again.
Fixes 8061.
Note that I initially tried to add this as a parameter to the `PDFPageProxy.render` method, such that it could be passed to `PartialEvaluator.getOperatorList`.
However, given all the different code-paths that call `getOperatorList` (there's a bunch only in `annotation.js`), this seemed to very quickly become unwieldy and thus difficult to maintain compared to simply using the existing `evaluatorOptions`.
See http://eslint.org/docs/rules/brace-style.
Having the opening/closing braces on the same line can often make the code slightly more difficult to read, in particular for `if`/`else if` statements, compared to using new lines.
This patch also, for consistency with `mozilla-central`, enables the [`no-iterator`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-iterator) rule. Note that this rule didn't require a single code change.
This property was added all the way back in PR 542, but hasn't actually been relied upon ever since PR 692.
Note that there's a `isStream()` utility function which replaced the property years ago, hence the `isStream` property is now dead code.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-unused-vars; note that this patch purposely uses the same rule options as in `mozilla-central`, such that it fixes part of issue 7957.
It wasn't, in my opinion, entirely straightforward to enable this rule compared to the already existing rules. In many cases a `var descriptiveName = ...` format was used (more or less) to document the code, and I choose to place the old variable name in a trailing comment to not lose that information.
I welcome feedback on these changes, since it wasn't always entirely easy to know what changes made the most sense in every situation.
Given the nature of `EOF` and `isEOF`, it seems to me that they really ought to be placed in `core/primitives.js` instead.
In general, it doesn't seem great to have to depend on the entire `core/parser.js` file for such simple primitives/helper functions.
In particular, while `core/ps_parser.js` is completely separate from `core/parser.js` with regards to its function, it still depends on the latter for just *one* primitive.
Note that compared to e.g. PR 7389, this will not reduce the number of dependencies for `core/ps_parser`, however the new dependency IMHO makes more sense.
PR 7322 added the `PdfJsNetwork.jsm` file, instead of the general `src/core/network.js` file for the Firefox addon. However, `make.js` wasn't updated to actually stop including the now obsolete network file.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/spaced-comment.
Note that the exceptions added for `line` comments are intended to still allow use of the old preprocessor without linting errors.
Also, I took the opportunity to improve the grammar slightly (w.r.t. capitalization and punctuation) for comments touched in the patch.
Further adjust the heuristics used to detect OpenType font files with CFF data, to ensure that all Type0 fonts are handled the same way regardless of font Subtype (issue 7901)
We're currently making use of `uniquePrefix`/`idCounters` in multiple files, to create unique object id's, and adding a new occurrence of them requires some care to ensure that an object id isn't accidentally reused.
Furthermore, having to pass around multiple parameters as we currently do seem like something you want to avoid.
Instead, this patch adds a factory which means that there's only *one* thing that needs to be passed around. And since it's now only necessary to call a method in order to obtain a unique object id, the details are thus abstracted away at the call-sites which avoids accidental reuse of object id's.
To test that this works as expected a very simple `Page` unit-test is added, and the existing `Annotation layer` tests are also adjusted slightly.
Using `else` after `return` is not necessary, and can often lead to unnecessarily cluttered code. By using the `no-else-return` rule in ESLint we can avoid this pattern, see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-else-return.
We're already passing in a, currently unused, `PdfManager` instance when initializing the `XRef`. To avoid having to pass a single `password` parameter around, we could thus simply get the `password` through the `PdfManager` instance instead.
This patch also removes the `UpdatePassword` message, in favour of using the `sendWithPromise` method of `MessageHandler`.
Furthermore, the patch also refactors the `BasePdfManager_updatePassword`/`BasePdfManager_passwordChanged` methods (in pdf_manager.js), and the `pdfManagerReady` function (in worker.js).
I recently happened to look at the code I wrote for PR 5964, which fixed [bug 1157493](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1157493), and I quickly realized that the solution is way too simplistic.
The fact that only using the `length` of a `Differences` array worked seems more like a happy accident for a particular set of font data, but could just as easily be incorrect for other PDF files.
Note that in practice, the case where the `Encoding` entry is a regular `Dict` (and not a `Ref` or `Name`) is very rare, hence I don't think that we really need to worry about having to reparse this data.
Also, the performance of this code-block is quite a bit better by updating the `hash` with the data from the *entire* `Differences` array, instead of at every loop iteration.
Changing this particular code makes me somewhat nervous about regressions, since PR 5770 necessitated the follow-up PR 6270.
However, the patch passes all tests added in those PRs (and obviously all other tests). Furthermore, I've manually checked all the issues/bugs referenced in PRs 5770 and 6270 without finding any issues.
**Please note:** This patch fixes *only* the font bug, not the SVG conversion, present on pages two and three of the PDF file in issue 7901.
Modern browsers support styling radio buttons and checkboxes with CSS.
This makes the implementation much easier, and the fallback for older
browsers is still decent.
I haven't got an example where the current code breaks, but given all the previous cases we've seen where PDF generators use indirect objects in Arrays it makes sense to fix this pro-actively.
I've modified the relevant unit-tests slightly, and they would *not* pass without the code changes in this patch.
*Note:* `Dict_getArray` only dereferences Array elements on the "top-level", to avoid recursion issues. Furthermore if you have to loop through the Array at the call-site anyway, then using `Dict_get` in combination with `XRef_fetchIfRef` is a tiny bit more efficient.
*Please note that most of the necessary code adjustments were made in PR 7890.*
ESLint has a number of advantageous properties, compared to JSHint. Among those are:
- The ability to find subtle bugs, thanks to more rules (e.g. PR 7881).
- Much more customizable in general, and many rules allow fine-tuned behaviour rather than the just the on/off rules in JSHint.
- Many more rules that can help developers avoid bugs, and a lot of rules that can be used to enforce a consistent coding style. The latter should be particularily useful for new contributors (and reduce the amount of stylistic review comments necessary).
- The ability to easily specify exactly what rules to use/not to use, as opposed to JSHint which has a default set. *Note:* in future JSHint version some of the rules we depend on will be removed, according to warnings in http://jshint.com/docs/options/, so we wouldn't be able to update without losing lint coverage.
- More easily disable one, or more, rules temporarily. In JSHint this requires using a numeric code, which isn't very user friendly, whereas in ESLint the rule name is simply used instead.
By default there's no rules enabled in ESLint, but there are some default rule sets available. However, to prevent linting failures if we update ESLint in the future, it seemed easier to just explicitly specify what rules we want.
Obviously this makes the ESLint config file somewhat bigger than the old JSHint config file, but given how rarely that one has been updated over the years I don't think that matters too much.
I've tried, to the best of my ability, to ensure that we enable the same rules for ESLint that we had for JSHint. Furthermore, I've also enabled a number of rules that seemed to make sense, both to catch possible errors *and* various style guide violations.
Despite the ESLint README claiming that it's slower that JSHint, https://github.com/eslint/eslint#how-does-eslint-performance-compare-to-jshint, locally this patch actually reduces the runtime for `gulp` lint (by approximately 20-25%).
A couple of stylistic rules that would have been nice to enable, but where our code currently differs to much to make it feasible:
- `comma-dangle`, controls trailing commas in Objects and Arrays (among others).
- `object-curly-spacing`, controls spacing inside of Objects.
- `spaced-comment`, used to enforce spaces after `//` and `/*. (This is made difficult by the fact that there's still some usage of the old preprocessor left.)
Rules that I indend to look into possibly enabling in follow-ups, if it seems to make sense: `no-else-return`, `no-lonely-if`, `brace-style` with the `allowSingleLine` parameter removed.
