This patch makes it possible to set and get all possible flags that the PDF specification defines. Even though we do not support all possible annotation types and not all possible annotation flags yet, this general framework makes it easy to access all flags for each annotation such that annotation type implementations can use this information.
We add constants for all possible annotation flags such that we do not need to hardcode the flags in the code anymore. The `isViewable()` and `isPrintable()` methods are now easier to read. Additionally, unit tests have been added to ensure correct behavior.
This is another part of #5218.
Currently, `src/core/core.js` uses the `fromRef` method on an `Annotation` object to obtain the right annotation type object (such as `LinkAnnotation` or `TextAnnotation`). That method in turn uses a method `getConstructor` to find out which annotation type object must be returned.
Aside from the fact that there is currently a lot of code to achieve this, these methods should not be part of the base `Annotation` class at all. Creation of annotation object should be done by a factory (as also recommended by @yurydelendik at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/5218#issuecomment-52779659) that handles finding out the correct annotation type object and returning it. This patch implements this separation of concerns.
Doing this allows us to also simplify the code quite a bit and to make it more readable. Additionally, we are now able to get rid of the hardcoded array of supported annotation types. The factory takes care of checking the annotation types and falls back to returning the base annotation type (and issuing a warning, which the current code also does not do well) when an annotation type is unsupported.
I have manually tested this commit with 20 test PDFs with different annotation types, such as /Link, /Text, /Widget, /FileAttachment and /FreeText. All render identically before and after the patch, and unsupported annotation types are now properly indicated with a warning in the console.
This patch refactors the code responsible for setting the annotation's rectangle. Its goal is to:
- Actually check that the input array is actually an array, and if so, that it contains exactly four elements.
- Only call `normalizeRect` if the input array is valid, i.e., we do not call it for the default rectangle anymore.
Unit tests are provided just like with the other patches in this series.
This became obsolete in bdeca30fbf. All it does is call the Annotation contructor and add hasHtml. This patch lets the Link and Text annotations directly extend the Annotation class and add hasHtml themselves.
This patch also removes an unused global.
This change does the following:
* Address TODO to remove getEmptyContainer helper.
* Not set container bg-color. The old code is incorrect, causing it to
not have any effect. It sets color to an array (item.color) rather
css string. Also in most cases it would set it to black background
which is incorrect.
* only add border instructions when there is actually a border
* reduce memory consumption by not creating new 3 element arrays for
annotation colors. In fact according to spec, this would be incorrect,
as the default should be "transparent" for an empty array. Adobe
Reader interprets a missing color array as black however.
Note that only Link annotations were actually setting a border style and
color. While Text annotations might have calculated a border they did
not color it. This behaviour is now controlled by the boolean flag.
