In many cases in the code you don't actually care about the index itself, but rather just want to know if something exists in a String/Array or if a String starts in a particular way. With modern JavaScript functionality, it's thus possible to remove a number of existing `indexOf` cases.
For PDF documents with sufficiently broken XRef tables, it's usually quite obvious when you need to fallback to indexing the entire file. However, for certain kinds of corrupted PDF documents the XRef table will, for all intents and purposes, appear to be valid. It's not until you actually try to fetch various objects that things will start to break, which is the case in the referenced issues[1].
Since there's generally a real effort being in made PDF.js to load even corrupt PDF documents, this patch contains a suggested approach to attempt to do a bit more validation of the XRef table during the initial document loading phase.
Here the choice is made to attempt to load the *first* page, as a basic sanity check of the validity of the XRef table. Please note that attempting to load a more-or-less arbitrarily chosen object without any context of what it's supposed to be isn't a very useful, which is why this particular choice was made.
Obviously, just because the first page can be loaded successfully that doesn't guarantee that the *entire* XRef table is valid, however if even the first page fails to load you can be reasonably sure that the document is *not* valid[2].
Even though this patch won't cause any significant increase in the amount of parsing required during initial loading of the document[3], it will require loading of more data upfront which thus delays the initial `getDocument` call.
Whether or not this is a problem depends very much on what you actually measure, please consider the following examples:
```javascript
console.time('first');
getDocument(...).promise.then((pdfDocument) => {
console.timeEnd('first');
});
console.time('second');
getDocument(...).promise.then((pdfDocument) => {
pdfDocument.getPage(1).then((pdfPage) => { // Note: the API uses `pageNumber >= 1`, the Worker uses `pageIndex >= 0`.
console.timeEnd('second');
});
});
```
The first case is pretty much guaranteed to show a small regression, however the second case won't be affected at all since the Worker caches the result of `getPage` calls. Again, please remember that the second case is what matters for the standard PDF.js use-case which is why I'm hoping that this patch is deemed acceptable.

[1] In issue 7496, the problem is that the document is edited without the XRef table being correctly updated.
In issue 10326, the generator was sorting the XRef table according to the offsets rather than the objects.
[2] The idea of checking the first page in particular came from the "standard" use-case for the PDF.js library, i.e. the default viewer, where a failure to load the first page basically means that nothing will work; note how `{BaseViewer, PDFThumbnailViewer}.setDocument` depends completely on being able to fetch the *first* page.
[3] The only extra parsing is caused by, potentially, having to traverse *part* of the `Pages` tree to find the first page.
Note how nowhere in the code `canvasInRendering.get()` is ever called, and that this structure is really only used to store references to `<canvas>` DOM elements.
The reason for this being a `WeakMap` is probably because at the time we weren't using `core-js` polyfills yet, and since there already existed a manually implemented `WeakMap` polyfill it was probably simpler to use that.
There have been lots of problems with trying to map glyphs to their unicode
values. It's more reliable to just use the private use areas so the browser's
font renderer doesn't mess with the glyphs.
Using the private use area for all glyphs did highlight other issues that this
patch also had to fix:
* small private use area - Previously, only the BMP private use area was used
which can't map many glyphs. Now, the (much bigger) PUP 16 area can also be
used.
* glyph zero not shown - Browsers will not use the glyph from a font if it is
glyph id = 0. This issue was less prevalent when we mapped to unicode values
since the fallback font would be used. However, when using the private use
area, the glyph would not be drawn at all. This is illustrated in one of the
current test cases (issue #8234) where there's an "ä" glyph at position
zero. The PDF looked like it rendered correctly, but it was actually not
using the glyph from the font. To properly show the first glyph it is always
duplicated and appended to the glyphs and the maps are adjusted.
* supplementary characters - The private use area PUP 16 is 4 bytes, so
String.fromCodePoint must be used where we previously used
String.fromCharCode. This is actually an issue that should have been fixed
regardless of this patch.
* charset - Freetype fails to load fonts when the charset size doesn't match
number of glyphs in the font. We now write out a fake charset with the
correct length. This also brought up the issue that glyphs with seac/endchar
should only ever write a standard charset, but we now write a custom one.
To get around this the seac analysis is permanently enabled so those glyphs
are instead always drawn as two glyphs.
For proof-of-concept, this patch converts a couple of `Promise` returning methods to use `async` instead.
Please note that the `generic` build, based on this patch, has been successfully testing in IE11 (i.e. the viewer loads and nothing is obviously broken).
Being able to use modern JavaScript features like `async`/`await` is a huge plus, but there's one (obvious) side-effect: The size of the built files will increase slightly (unless `SKIP_BABEL == true`). That's unavoidable, but seems like a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things.
Finally, note that the `chromium` build target was changed to no longer skip Babel translation, since the Chrome extension still supports version `49` of the browser (where native `async` support isn't available).
Compared to all the other (static) methods in `Util`, the `toRoman` one looks slightly out of place. Even more so considering that `Util` is being exposed through `pdfjsLib`, where access to a Roman numerals conversion method doesn't make much sense.
This moves/exposes the `URL` polyfill similarily to the existing `ReadableStream` polyfill, rather than exposing it globally, to avoid interfering with any "outside" code.
Both the `URL` and `ReadableStream` polyfills are now exposed on the `pdfjsLib` object, such that they are accessible to the viewer components.
Furthermore, the `no-restricted-globals` ESLint rule is also enabled to prevent accidental usage of the native `URL`/`ReadableStream` implementations directly in the `src/` and `web/` folders; see also https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-restricted-globals
Addresses the remaining TODO in https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/projects/6
Please note that the standalone `pdf.image_decoders.js` file will be including the complete `src/shared/util.js` file, despite only using parts of it.[1] This was done *purposely*, to not negatively impact the readability/maintainability of the core PDF.js code.
Furthermore, to ensure that the compatibility is the same in the regular PDF.js library *and* in the the standalone image decoders, `src/shared/compatibility.js` was included as well.
To (hopefully) prevent future complaints about the size of the built `pdf.image_decoders.js` file, a few existing async-related polyfills are being skipped (since all of the image decoders are completely synchronous).
Obviously this required adding a couple of pre-processor statements, but given that these are all limited to "compatibility" code, I think this might be OK!?
---
[1] However, please note that previous commits moved `PageViewport` and `MessageHandler` out of `src/shared/util.js` which reduced its size.
Not only is the `Util.loadScript` helper function unused on the Worker side, even trying to use it there would throw an Error (since `document` isn't defined/available in Workers).
Hence this helper function is moved, and its code modernized slightly by having it return a Promise rather than needing a callback function.
Finally, to reduced code duplication, the "new" loadScript function is exported and used in the viewer.
The `MessageHandler` itself, and its assorted helper functions, are currently the single largest[1] piece of code in the `src/shared/util.js` file. By moving this code into its own file, `src/shared/util.js` thus becomes smaller and more manageable.
This function combines the logic of two separate methods into one.
The loop limit is also a good thing to have for the calls in
`src/core/annotation.js`.
Moreover, since this is important functionality, a set of unit tests and
documentation is added.
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, we still need the ability to adjust certain API options depending on the browser environment in PDF.js version `2.0`. However, we should be able to separate this from the general compatibility code in the `src/shared/compatibility.js` file.
I don't understand why the previous way importing the polyfills didn't work, and I don't have time to try and figure it out, however this patch seems to fix things.
Fixes 9514.

This rule is available from https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-mozilla, and is enforced in mozilla-central. Note that we have the necessary `Array`/`String` polyfills and that most cases have already been fixed, see PRs 9032 and 9434.

Since `loadJpegStream` is only used at a *single* spot in the code-base, and given that it's very heavily tailored to the calling code (since it relies on the data structure of `PDFObjects`), this patch simply inlines the code in `src/display/api.js` instead.
Add comments with supported browser versions where missing.
Method:
- Use MDN compat tables if available.
- Otherwise test in Chrome (31+) otherwise.
(the Chrome Web Store does not update older versions of
Chrome, so probably nobody is interested in even older
versions, even though there is an existing comment for
Chrome<29 at `document.currentScript`).
These were removed in PR 9170, since they were unused in the browsers that we'll support in PDF.js version `2.0`.
However looking at the output of Travis, where a subset of the unit-tests are run using Node.js, there's warnings about `btoa` being undefined. This doesn't appear to cause any errors, which probably explains why we didn't notice this before (despite PR 9201).
It is quite confusing that the custom function is called `log2` while it
actually returns the ceiling value and handles zero and negative values
differently than the native function.
To resolve this, we add a comment that explains these differences and
make the function use the native `Math` functions internally instead of
using our own custom logic. To verify that the function does what we
expect, we add unit tests.
All browsers except for IE support `Math.log2` for quite a long time
already (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/log2).
For IE, we use the core-js polyfill.
According to the microbenchmark at https://jsperf.com/log2-pdfjs/1,
using the native functions should also be faster, in my testing almost
six times as fast.
We're currently disabling range requests and streaming for a number of configurations. A couple of those will no longer be supported (with PDF.js version 2.0), hence we ought to be able to clean up the compatibility code slightly.
This compatibility code is only relevant for browsers that will no longer be supported (with PDF.js version 2.0), hence we ought to be able to remove it.
Since we're already using core-js elsewhere in `compatibility.js`, we can reduce the amount of code we need to maintain ourselves.

`__pdfjsdev_webpack__` was used to skip evaluating part of an AST,
in order to not mangle some `require` symbols.
This commit removes `__pdfjsdev_webpack__`, and:
- Uses `__non_webpack_require__` when one wants the output to
contain `require` instead of `__webpack_require__`.
- Adds options to the webpack config to prevent "polyfills" for
some Node.js-specific APIs to be added.
- Use `// eslint-disable-next-line no-undef` instead of `/* globals ... */`
for variables that are not meant to be used globally.
This patch adds Streams API support in getTextContent
so that we can stream data in chunks instead of fetching
whole data from worker thread to main thread. This patch
supports Streams API without changing the core functionality
of getTextContent.
Enqueue textContent directly at getTextContent in partialEvaluator.
Adds desiredSize and ready property in streamSink.
Adds functionality to accept Queueing Strategy in
sendWithStream method. Using Queueing Strategy we
can control the data that is enqueued into the sink,
and hence regulated the flow of chunks from worker
to main thread.
Adds capability in pull and cancel methods.
Adds ready and desiredSize property in streamSink.
Adds unit test for ReadableStream and sendWithStream.

Given that we currently have quite inconsistent object formatting, fixing this in *one* big patch probably wouldn't be feasible (since I cannot imagine anyone wanting to review that); hence I've opted to try and do this piecewise instead.
Please note: This patch was created automatically, using the ESLint `--fix` command line option. In a couple of places this caused lines to become too long, and I've fixed those manually; please refer to the interdiff below for the only hand-edits in this patch.

This is a regression from commit 3888a993b1.
It turns out the even though we have a `URL` polyfill, it's still dependent on the existence of native `URL.{createObjectURL, revokeObjectURL}` functions.
Since no such thing exists in Node.js, our `createObjectURL` utility function breaks there.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/object-shorthand.
For the most part, these changes are of the search-and-replace kind, and the previously enabled `no-undef` rule should complement the tests in helping ensure that no stupid errors crept into to the patch.
The existing implementation of fakeRequestAnimationFrame
did not return a timer ID, so the frame could not be cancelled
if you wanted to cancel it. But if you do want to cancel it,
it needs to be cancelled through clearTimeout instead of
cancelAnimationFrame, because the timer IDs are different.

I happened to notice that some inequalities had the wrong order, and was surprised since I thought that the `yoda` rule should have caught that.
However, reading http://eslint.org/docs/rules/yoda#options a bit more closely than previously, it's quite obvious that the `onlyEquality` option does *exactly* what its name suggests. Hence I think that it makes sense to adjust the options such that only ranges are allowed instead.
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.
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.
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.
*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.

Directly use the hexadecimal representation, just like the
`AnnotationFlags`, to avoid calculations and to improve readability.
This allows us to simplify the unit tests for text widget annotations as
well.
This patch improves performance by avoiding unnecessary type
conversions, which also help the JIT for optimizations.
Moreover, this patch fixes issues with the div expansion code where
`textScale` would be undefined in a division. Because of the `dataset`
usage, other comparisons evaluated to `true` while `false` would have
been correct. This makes the expansion mode now work correctly for cases
with, for example, each glyph in one div.
The polyfill for `WeakMap` has been provided by @yurydelendik.
Currently the `isSpace` utility function is a member of `Lexer`, which seems suboptimal, given that it's placed in `core/parser.js`. In practice, this means that in a number of `core/*.js` files we thus have an *otherwise* completely unnecessary dependency on `core/parser.js` for a one-line function.
Instead, this patch moves `isSpace` into `shared/util.js` which seems more appropriate for this kind of utility function. Not to mention that since all the affected `core/*.js` files already depends on `shared/util.js`, this doesn't incur any more file dependencies.
This is required to be able to use it in the annotation display code,
where we now apply it to sanitize the filename of the FileAttachment
annotation. The PDF file from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1230933 has shown that some PDF generators include the path of the file rather than the filename, which causes filenames with weird initial characters. PDF viewers handle this differently (for example Foxit Reader just replaces forward slashes with spaces), but we think it's better to only show the filename as intended.
Additionally we add unit tests for the `getFilenameFromUrl` helper
function.
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!

[1] In e.g. Firefox it doesn't seem possible to prevent deprecation warnings from being displayed (in the Browser Console).
