*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.

This patch refactors the `CropBox` code to combine fetching and
validation code in a getter, like we already did for the `MediaBox`
property. Combined with variable name changes, this improves readability
of the code and makes the `view` getter simpler as well.
I've not actually, thus far, come across a PDF file that this patch fixes. However, given the string of recent patches that has fixed issues with indirect objects in arrays, I think that it makes sense to proactively avoid any issues in this code.
This patch avoids the creation of extra arrays when initializing an
array with default (zero) values. Doing this additionally makes the code
more readable by allocating enough space for the number of color
components.
For Arabic characters, the Unicode character codes are mapped to Unicode
character types using the character codes for indexing. However, the
character code 0x061D is undefined (and therefore invalid) in the
Unicode standard. The imported list does not contain this entry, but not
having it in the list breaks indexing for items after it. Therefore, put
an empty string on its position to make indexing work properly and issue
a warning in the unlikely event that we encounter this character.
*This patch fixes something that I noticed while debugging https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1308536.*
The PDF file contains a font called "NuptialScript", which unfortunately is not embedded. Since that is a non-standard font we will not be able to render it entirely correct. However, by adding "NuptialScript" to the `getNonStdFontMap`, we can at least improve the rendering slightly by using an italic (serif) fallback font.
This patch adds support for non-embedded Arial Black fonts, that use a `Arial-Black...` format for the font names.
Also, this patch changes `canvas.js` such that we always render Arial Black fonts with the maximum weight, which actually improves a number of existing test-cases. This should thus explain the test "failures", which are clear improvements compared with e.g. Adobe Reader.
Fixes 7835.
For `PartialEvaluator_getTextContent`, the same `args` Array should be re-used for every `EvaluatorPreprocessor_read` call. Hence we want to ensure that it's not accidentally replaced with `null` in `EvaluatorPreprocessor_read`, since otherwise corrupt PDF files (with too few arguments for certain commands) will cause errors in `PartialEvaluator_getTextContent`.
Perhaps a micro-optimization, but this patch also changes two `!args` comparisons to `args === null`, since that should be a tiny bit more efficient.
By only allowing very specific type of `JavaScript` actions, and also utilizing the existing `URL` validation, this patch shouldn't pose too much risk.
Fixes one of the points in issue 3897 (with the PDF file taken from issue 3438).
Fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=843699 (probably, since that bug doesn't contain a test-case).
It seems that certain bad PDF generators can create badly encoded "Prefix" entries for Page Labels, one example being http://ukjewishfilm.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Jewish-Film-Festival-Programme-ONLINE.pdf.
Unfortunately I didn't come across such a PDF file while adding the API support for Page Labels, but with them now being used in the viewer I just found this issue. With this patch, we now display the Page Labels in the same way as Adobe Reader.
The original code is difficult to read and, more importantly, performs
actions that are not described in the specification. It replaces empty
names with a backtick and an index, but this behavior is not described
in the specification. While the specification is not entirely clear
about what should happen in this case, it does specify that the `T`
field is optional and that multiple field dictionaries may have the same
fully qualified name, so to achieve this it makes the most sense to
ignore missing `T` fields during construction of the field name. This is
the most specification-compliant solution and, judging by opened issue #6623, also the required and expected behavior.
In general we neither want, nor can, support arbitrary `Launch` actions. But in practice, all the cases we've seen so far just contains relative URLs to other PDF files. Building on PR 7689, we can thus at least support basic `Launch` actions.
Note that in `FIREFOX/MOZCENTRAL/CHROME` builds of the standard viewer the `docBaseUrl` parameter will be set by default, since in that case it makes sense to use the current URL as a base.
For the `GENERIC` viewer, or the API itself, it doesn't make sense to try and set the `docBaseUrl` by default. However, custom deployments/implementations may still find the parameter useful.
Note that this will automatically reject any relative URL.
To make the API more useful to consumers, URLs that are rejected will be available via the `unsafeUrl` property in the data object returned by `PDFPageProxy_getAnnotations`.
The patch also adds a bit more validation of the data for `Named` actions.
This not only reduces code duplication, but it also allow us to easily support the same kind of URLs we currently do for Link annotations in the Outline as well.
Let `Parser_makeFilter` pass in the `DecodeParms` data to various image `Stream`s, instead of re-fetching it in various `[...]Stream.prototype.ensureBuffer` methods
