In PR 11912 we started caching images that occur on multiple pages globally, which improved performance a lot in many PDF documents.
However, one slightly annoying limitation of the implementation is the need to re-parse the image once the global-caching threshold has been reached. Previously this was difficult to avoid, since large image-resources will cause cleanup to run on the main-thread after rendering has finished. In PR 16108 we started delaying this cleanup a little bit, to improve performance if a user e.g. zooms and/or rotates the document immediately after rendering completes.
Taking those two PRs together, we now have a situation where it's much more likely that the main-thread has "globally used" images cached at the page-level. Hence we can instead attempt to *copy* a locally cached image into the global object-cache on the main-thread and thus reduce unnecessary re-parsing of large/complex global images, which significantly reduces the rendering time in many cases.
For the PDF document in issue 11878, the rendering time of *the second page* changes as follows (on my computer):
- With the `master`-branch it takes >600 ms to render.
- With this patch that goes down to ~50 ms, which is one order of magnitude faster.
(Note that all other pages are, as expected, completely unaffected by these changes.)
This new main-thread copying is limited to "large" global images, since:
- Re-parsing of small images, on the worker-thread, is usually fast enough to not be an issue.
- With the delayed cleanup after rendering, it's still not guaranteed that an image is available in a page-level cache on the main-thread.
- This forces the worker-thread to wait for the main-thread, which is a pattern that you always want to avoid unless absolutely necessary.
This commit changes the code to use a template string and to use `const`
instead of `var`. Combined with the previous commits this allows for
enabling the ESLint `no-var` rule for this file now.
The test helper code largely predates the introduction of modern
JavaScript features and should be refactored to improve readability.
In particular callbacks make the code harder to understand and maintain.
This commit:
- replaces the callback argument with returning a promise;
- replaces the recursive function calls with a simple loop;
- uses `const`/`let` instead of `var`;
- uses arrow functions for shorter code;
- uses template strings for shorter string formatting code.

This test intermittently fails, likely because the auto-print is triggered fast enough
that we don't manage to get it.
So this patch aims to try to set a listener very early in order to be sure that
we'll be aware that a print has been triggered.
It seems this unit-test now fails consistently in "all" up-to-date Node.js versions. We should probably try and understand why, but for now just disable it to get passing CI tests.
There's obviously a few things wrong with the Annotations in the referenced PDF document, however parsing of an Annotation shouldn't just break if the /BS-entry isn't a dictionary.
The doorhanger for highlighting has a basic color picker composed of 5 predefined colors
to set the default color to use.
These colors can be changed thanks to a preference for now but it's something which could
be changed in the Firefox settings in the future.
Each highlight has in its own toolbar a color picker to just change its color.
The different color pickers are so similar (modulo few differences in their styles) that
this patch introduces a new class ColorPicker which provides a color picker component
which could be reused in future editors.
All in all, a large part of this patch is dedicated to color picker itself and its style
and the rest is almost a matter of wiring the component.
When a pdf as a FreeText without appearance, we use a fake font in order to render it
and that leads to create few new refs for the font.
But then when we're saving, we create some new refs which start at the same number
as the previous created ones.
Consequently, when saving we're using some wrong objects (like a font) to check if
we're able to render the newly added FreeText.
In order to fix this bug, we just remove the persistent refs (which are only used
when rendering/printing) during the saving.
Having just tested PR 17337 locally I noticed that especially the `JpxImage`-test causes a "ridiculous" amount of warning messages to be printed, which doesn't seem helpful.
Given that only actual `Error`s should be relevant here, we can easily disable this logging during the tests.

The goal is to be able to get these outlines to fill the shape corresponding
to a text selection in order to highlight some text contents.
The outlines will be used either to show selected/hovered highlights.
- Re-factor the existing `fetchData` helper function such that it can fetch more types of data, and it now supports "arraybuffer", "json", and "text".
This only needed minor adjustments in the `DOMCMapReaderFactory` and `DOMStandardFontDataFactory` classes.[1]
- Expose the `fetchData` helper function in the API, such that the viewer is able to access it.
- Use the `fetchData` helper function in the `GenericL10n` class, since this should allow fetching of localization-data even if the default viewer is run in an environment without support for the Fetch API.

[1] While testing this I also noticed a minor inconsistency when handling standard font-data on the worker-thread.
Some fields, somewhere under the Fields entry in Acroform, could have no name (in T)
but with a parent which has a name but which isn't somewhere under Fields.
As a side-effect, this patch prevents infinite loops because of potential cycles
under Fields.
This commit migrates the font tests away from the bots. Not only are the
font tests broken on the Windows bot since some time, they also run on
Python 2 (end of life since January 2020) and `ttx` 3.19.0 (released in
November 2017). The latter is installed via a submodule, which requires
more complicated logic for finding and running `ttx`.
We solve the issues by implementing a modern workflow that installs the
most recent stable Python and `ttx` (`fonttools` package) versions. This
simplifies the `ttx` driver code as well because it can now assume `ttx`
is available on the path (just like we do for e.g. `node` invocations).
GitHub Actions takes care of creating a virtual environment with
`fonttools` in it so that the `ttx` entrypoint is available. Locally
the font tests can be run in a similar way by creating and sourcing a
virtual environment with `fonttools` in it before running the font
tests, and a README file is included with instructions for doing so.
This commit prepares for running the font tests on GitHub Actions where
we can't spin up headful browsers because there are no display
capabilities on the workers. This will also be useful for porting other
test targets to GitHub Actions at a later time, as well as running the
tests locally in headless mode.
This commit prepares for the introduction of extra options in later
commits by changing the function signatures of the `startBrowser(s)`
functions to take parameter objects instead of plain parameters. This
makes the call sites explicitly state which parameters they pass,
improving overall readability as well.
The current logic is more complicated than it needs to be because it's
passing a callback function to `startBrowsers` instead of a string.
This commit simplifies the logic by passing the base URL as a string to
`startBrowsers` and having it do further augmentation internally,
thereby removing all indirection of the function calls to `makeTestUrl`
and the inner function it returned.
