*This fixes something that I noticed, having recently looked at both the `Lexer.getObj` and `writeValue` code.*
Please note that I unfortunately don't have an example of a form where saving fails without this patch. However, given its overall simplicity and that unit-tests are added, it's hopefully deemed useful to fix this potential issue pro-actively rather than waiting for a bug report.
At this point one might, and rightly so, wonder if there's actually any real-world PDF documents where a `null` value is being used?
Unfortunately the answer is *yes*, and we have a couple of examples in the test-suite (although none of those are related to forms); please see: `issue1015`, `issue2642`, `issue10402`, `issue12823`, `issue13823`, and `pr12564`.

- in some pdfs the XFA array in AcroForm dictionary doesn't contain an entry for 'datasets' (which contains saved data), so basically this patch allows to overwrite the AcroForm dictionary with an updated XFA array when doing an incremental update.
- when some named nodes in the template don't have their counterpart in datasets we create some nodes: the main node mustn't belong to the datasets namespace because it doesn't make sense and Acrobat Reader isn't able to read pdf with such nodes.
- so created nodes under a datasets node have a namespaceId set to -1 and consequently when serialized no namespace prefix will appear.
There's a fair number of regular expressions througout the code-base which are slightly more verbose than strictly necessary, in particular:
- We have a lot of regular expressions that use `[0-9]` explicitly, and those can be simplified to use `\d` instead.
- We have one instance of a regular expression containing a `A-Za-z0-9_` sequence, which can be simplified to use `\w` instead.
*This is a follow-up to PRs 13867 and 13899.*
This patch is tagged `api-minor` for the following reasons:
- It replaces the `renderInteractiveForms`/`includeAnnotationStorage`-options, in the `PDFPageProxy.render`-method, with the single `annotationMode`-option that controls which annotations are being rendered and how. Note that the old options were mutually exclusive, and setting both to `true` would result in undefined behaviour.
- For improved consistency in the API, the `annotationMode`-option will also work together with the `PDFPageProxy.getOperatorList`-method.
- It's now also possible to disable *all* annotation rendering in both the API and the Viewer, since the other changes meant that this could now be supported with a single added line on the worker-thread[1]; fixes 7282.
---
[1] Please note that in order to simplify the overall implementation, we'll purposely only support disabling of *all* annotations and that the option is being shared between the API and the Viewer. For any more "specialized" use-cases, where e.g. only some annotation-types are being rendered and/or the API and Viewer render different sets of annotations, that'll have to be handled in third-party implementations/forks of the PDF.js code-base.
This patch removes the only remaining closure in the `src/display/api.js` file, utilizing a similar approach as used in lots of other parts of the code-base, which results in a small decrease in the size of the *build* `pdf.js` file.
Given that `PDFWorker` is exposed through the *public* API, this complicates things somewhat since there's a couple of worker-related properties that really should stay *private*. Initially, while working on PR 13813, I believed that we'd need support for private (static) class fields in order to get rid of this closure, however I've managed to come up with what's hopefully deemed an acceptable work-around here.
Furthermore, some helper functions were simply moved into the `PDFWorker` class as static methods, thus simplifying the overall implementation (e.g. we don't need to manually cache the Promise in the `PDFWorker._setupFakeWorkerGlobal`-method).
Finally, as part of this re-factoring a number of missing JSDoc-comments were added which *together* with the removal of the closure significantly improves the `gulp jsdoc` output for the `PDFWorker` class.
*Please note:* This patch is tagged with `api-minor` since it deprecates `PDFWorker.getWorkerSrc()` in favor of the shorter `PDFWorker.workerSrc`, with the fallback limited to `GENERIC` builds.
With the changes made in PR 13746 the *internal* renderingIntent handling became somewhat "messy", since we're now having to do string-matching in various spots in order to handle the "oplist"-intent correctly.
Hence this patch, which implements the idea from PR 13746 to convert the `intent`-strings, used in various API-methods, into an *internal* renderingIntent that's implemented using a bit-field instead. *Please note:* This part of the patch, in itself, does *not* change the public API (but see below).
This patch is tagged `api-minor` for the following reasons:
1. It changes the *default* value for the `intent` parameter, in the `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations` method, to "display" in order to be consistent across the API.
2. In order to get *all* annotations, with the `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations` method, you now need to explicitly set "any" as the `intent` parameter.
3. The `PDFPageProxy.getOperatorList` method will now also support the new "any" intent, to allow accessing the operatorList of all annotations (limited to those types that have one).
4. Finally, for consistency across the API, the `PDFPageProxy.render` method also support the new "any" intent (although I'm not sure how useful that'll be).
Points 1 and 2 above are the significant, and thus breaking, changes in *default* behaviour here. However, unfortunately I cannot see a good way to improve the overall API while also keeping `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations` unchanged.
Given how trivial the `isEOF` function is, we can simply inline the check at the various call-sites and remove the function (which ought to be ever so slightly more efficient as well).
Furthermore, this patch also changes the `EOF` primitive itself to a `Symbol` instead of an Object since that has the nice benefit of making it unclonable (thus preventing *accidentally* trying to send `EOF` from the worker-thread).
This patch utilizes the same approach as used in lots of other parts of the code-base, which thus *slightly* reduces the size of this code.
By removing some of the (current) indirection, we can also simplify the JSDocs a little bit. Looking at the `gulp jsdoc` output, this actually seem to *improve* the documentation for this class.
With this patch, the `PDFPageProxy.getOperatorList` method will now return `PDFOperatorList`-instances that also include Annotation-operatorLists (when those exist). Hence this closes a small, but potentially confusing, gap between the `render` and `getOperatorList` methods.
Previously we've been somewhat reluctant to do this, as explained below, but given that there's actual use-cases where it's required probably means that we'll *have* to implement it now.
Since we still need the ability to separate "normal" rendering operations from direct `getOperatorList` calls in the worker-thread, this API-change unfortunately causes the *internal* renderingIntent to become a bit "messy" which is indeed unfortunate (note the `"oplist-"` strings in various spots). As-is I suppose that it's not all that bad, but we may want to consider changing the *internal* renderingIntent to e.g. a bitfield in the future.
Besides fixing issue 13704, this patch would also be necessary if someone ever tries to implement e.g. issue 10165 (since currently `PDFPageProxy.getOperatorList` doesn't include Annotation-operatorLists).
*Please note:* This patch is *also* tagged "api-minor" for a second reason, which is that we're now including the Annotation-id in the `beginAnnotation` argument. The reason for this is to allow correlating the Annotation-data returned by `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations`, with its corresponding operatorList-data (for those Annotations that have it).
When working on PR 13612, I mostly prioritized a simple solution that didn't require touching a lot of code. However, while working on PR 13735 I started to realize that the static `Name.empty` construction really wasn't a good idea.
In particular, having a special `Name`-instance where the `name`-property isn't actually a String is confusing (to put it mildly) and can easily lead to issues elsewhere. The only reason for not simply allowing the `name`-property to be an *empty* string, in PR 13612, was to avoid having to touch a lot of existing code. However, it turns out that this is only limited to a few methods in the `PartialEvaluator` and a few of the `BaseLocalCache`-implementations, all of which can be easily re-factored to handle *empty* `Name`-instances.
All-in-all, I think that this patch is even an *overall* improvement since we're now validating (what should always be) `Name`-data better in the `PartialEvaluator`.
This is what I ought to have done from the start, sorry about the code churn here!
- font line height is taken into account by acrobat when it isn't with masterpdfeditor: I extracted a font from a pdf, modified some ascent/descent properties thanks to ttx and the reinjected the font in the pdf: only Acrobat is taken it into account. So in this patch, line heights for some substituted fonts are added.
- it seems that Acrobat is using a line height of 1.2 when the line height in the font is not enough (it's the only way I found to fix correctly bug 1718741).
- don't use flex in wrapper container (which was causing an horizontal overflow in the above bug).
- consequently, the above fixes introduced a lot of small regressions, so in order to see real improvements on reftests, I fixed the regressions in this patch:
- replace margin by padding in some case where padding is a part of a container dimensions;
- remove some flex display: some containers are wrongly sized when rendered;
- set letter-spacing to 0.01px: it helps to be sure that text is not broken because of not enough width in Firefox.
The PDF.js API has only ever supported accessing the original file ID, however the second one that (should) exist in *modified* documents have thus far been completely inaccessible through the API.
That seems like a simple oversight, caused e.g. by the viewer not needing it, since it really shouldn't hurt to provide API-users with the ability to check if a PDF document has been modified since its creation.[1]
Please refer to https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#G13.2261661 for additional information.
For an example of how to update existing code to use the new API, please see the changes in the `web/app.js` file included in this patch.
*Please note:* While I'm not sure if we'll ever be able to remove the old `PDFDocumentProxy.fingerprint` getter, given that it's existed since "forever", that probably isn't a big deal given that it's now limited to only `GENERIC`-builds.
---
[1] Although this obviously depends on the PDF software following the specification, by updating the second file ID as intended.
- it aims to fix#13583;
- fix the switch to breakBefore target;
- force the layout of an unsplittable element on an empty page;
- don't fail when there is horizontal overflow (except in lr-tb);
- handle correctly overflow in the same content area (bug 1717805, bug 1717668);
- fix a typo in radial gradient first argument.
- when binding (after parsing) we get a map between some template nodes and some data nodes;
- so set user data in input handlers in using data node uids in the annotation storage;
- to save the form, just put the value we have in the storage in the correct data nodes, serialize the xml as a string and then write the string at the end of the pdf using src/core/writer.js;
- fix few bugs around data bindings:
- the "Off" issue in Bug 1716980.
Apparently some really bad PDF software can create documents with *empty* `Name`-entries, which we thus need to somehow deal with.
While I don't know if this patch is necessarily the best solution, it should at least ensure that the *empty* `Name`-instance cannot accidentally match a proper `Name`-instance (and it doesn't require changes to a lot of existing code).[1]
---
[1] I briefly considered using a `Symbol` rather than an Object, but quickly decided against that since the former one [is not clonable](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API/Structured_clone_algorithm#supported_types) and `Name`-instances may be sent to the API.
- it aims to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1716838.
- some fonts in the pdf in the bug where bold when they shouldn't so write the font properties in the html to avoid to use some wrong inherited ones.
- partial fix for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1716980;
- some pdf can contain an invalid font family (e.g. 'Windings 3') so in this case remove the space;
- the font family in typeface attribute doesn't always match the one defined in the FontDescriptor dictionary.
- PR #13554 is buggy, so this patch aims to fix bugs.
- check if a component fits into its parent in taking into account the parent layout.
- introduce method isSplittable for template nodes to know if a component can be splitted in case of overflow.
- some containers doesn't always have their 2 dimensions and those dimensions re based on contents;
- so in order to measure text, we must get the glyph widths (for the xfa fonts) before starting the layout;
- implement a word-wrap algorithm;
- handle font change during text layout.
*This implementation is basically a copy of the pre-existing `builtInCMapCache` implementation.*
For some, badly generated, PDF documents it's possible that we'll end up having to fetch the *same* standard font data over and over (which is obviously inefficient).
While not common, it's certainly possible that a PDF document uses *custom* font names where the actual font then references one of the standard fonts; see e.g. issue 11399 for one such example.
Note that I did suggest adding worker-thread caching of standard font data in PR 12726, however it wasn't deemed necessary at the time. Now that we have a real-world example that benefit from caching, I think that we should simply implement this now.
- Some js files contain scale factors for each glyph in order to rescale Liberation to have a final font with the correct width.
- A lot of XFA have some containers where their dimensions are based on their text content, so using default font from browser can lead to an almost unreadable pdf.
- some elements weren't displayed because their rotation angle was not taken into account;
- fix box model (XFA concept):
- remove use of outline;
- position correctly border which isn't part of box dimensions;
- fix margins issues (see issue #13474).
- move border on button instead of having it on wrapping div;
- attribute 'use' was already implemented but not usehref
- in general, usehref should make reference to current document
- add support for SOM expressions in use and usehref to search a node.
- get prototype for all nodes if any.
Given that the same `PartialEvaluator`-instance is used for a lot of these unit-tests, manually changing the options in any one test-case could lead to intermittently failing unit-tests since they're run in a random order.
To fix this, we simply have to use the existing method to clone the `PartialEvaluator`-instance but with the custom options.
- the only goal of this patch is to be able to get synchronously the fake html when printing from firefox:
- in order to print we need to inject some html in beforeprint callback but we cannot block in waiting for all the pages.
- from a memory point of view: it doesn't change anything since the fake HTML is deleted in the worker;
- this way we don't break any assumptions.
- I thought it was possible to rely on browser layout engine to handle layout stuff but it isn't possible
- mainly because when a contentArea overflows, we must continue to layout in the next contentArea
- when no more contentArea is available then we must go to the next page...
- we must handle breakBefore and breakAfter which allows to "break" the layout to go to the next container
- Sometimes some containers don't provide their dimensions so we must compute them in order to know where to put
them in their parents but to compute those dimensions we need to layout the container itself...
- See top of file layout.js for more explanations about layout.
- fix few bugs in other places I met during my work on layout.
According to the specification, see https://web.archive.org/web/20210404042322if_/https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#G6.2384179, the keys of a NameTree/NumberTree should be ordered.
For corrupt PDF files, which violate this assumption, it's thus possible that trying to lookup a single entry fails.
Previously, in PR 10274, we implemented a fallback that only applies to the "bottom" node of a NameTree/NumberTree, which in general might not actually help for sufficiently corrupt NameTree/NumberTree data.
Instead we remove the current *limited* fallback from `NameOrNumberTree.get`, and defer to the call-site to handle this case explicitly e.g. by using `NameOrNumberTree.getAll` for data where that makes sense. For well-formed documents, these changes should *not* lead to any additional data fetching/parsing.
Finally, as part of these changes, the validation of named destination data is improved in the `Catalog` and a new unit-test is also added.
To get the maximum benefit from something like Prettier, you obviously don't want to disable the automatic formatting unless absolutely necessary. When we added Prettier there were a number of cases, mostly involving larger Arrays, which required disabling of the automatic formatting for overall readability and/or to not break inline comments.
With changes in Prettier version `2.3.0`, see [the release notes](https://prettier.io/blog/2021/05/09/2.3.0.html#concise-formatting-of-number-only-arrays-10106httpsgithubcomprettierprettierpull10106-10160httpsgithubcomprettierprettierpull10160-by-thorn0httpsgithubcomthorn0), there's now better formatting support for Arrays containing only numbers. Hence we can now remove a number of `// prettier-ignore` comments, and thus get the benefit of automatic formatting in (slightly) more of the code-base.
This patch was tested using the PDF file from issue 2618, i.e. https://bug570667.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=226471, with the following manifest file:
```
[
{ "id": "issue2618",
"file": "../web/pdfs/issue2618.pdf",
"md5": "",
"rounds": 50,
"type": "eq"
}
]
```
which gave the following results when comparing this patch against the `master` branch:
```
-- Grouped By browser, stat --
browser | stat | Count | Baseline(ms) | Current(ms) | +/- | % | Result(P<.05)
------- | ------------ | ----- | ------------ | ----------- | --- | ---- | -------------
firefox | Overall | 50 | 3417 | 3426 | 9 | 0.27 |
firefox | Page Request | 50 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 5.41 |
firefox | Rendering | 50 | 3416 | 3426 | 9 | 0.27 |
```
Based on these results, there's no significant performance regression from using standard classes and this patch should thus be OK.
- `FontFlags`, is used in both `src/core/fonts.js` and `src/core/evaluator.js`.
- `getFontType`, same as the above.
- `MacStandardGlyphOrdering`, is a fairly large data-structure and `src/core/fonts.js` is already a *very* large file.
- `recoverGlyphName`, a dependency of `type1FontGlyphMapping`; please see below.
- `SEAC_ANALYSIS_ENABLED`, is used by both `Type1Font`, `CFFFont`, and unit-tests; please see below.
- `type1FontGlyphMapping`, is used by both `Type1Font` and `CFFFont` which a later patch will move to their own files.
- Improve chunking in order to fix some bugs where the spaces aren't here:
* track the last position where a glyph has been drawn;
* when a new glyph (first glyph in a chunk) is added then compare its position with the last saved one and add a space or break:
- there are multiple ways to move the glyphs and to avoid to have to deal with all the different possibilities it's a way easier to just compare positions;
- and so there is now one function (i.e. "compareWithLastPosition") where all the job is done.
- Add some breaks in order to get lines;
- Remove the multiple whites spaces:
* some spaces were filled with several whites spaces and so it makes harder to find some sequences of words using the search tool;
* other pdf readers replace spaces by one white space.

First of all, while it should be very unlikely that the /ID-entry is an *indirect* object, note how we're using `Dict.get` when parsing it e.g. in `PDFDocument.fingerprint`. Hence we definitely should be consistent here, since if the /ID-entry is an *indirect* object the existing code in `src/core/writer.js` would already fail.
Secondly, to fix the referenced issue, we also need to check that the /ID-entry actually is an Array before attempting to access its contents in `src/core/writer.js`.
*Drive-by change:* In the `xrefInfo` object passed to the `incrementalUpdate` function, re-name the `encrypt` property to `encryptRef` since its data is fetched using `Dict.getRaw` (given the names of the other properties fetched similarly).
- Use `PDFManager.ensureDoc`, rather than `PDFManager.ensure`, in a couple of spots in the code. If there exists a short-hand format, we should obviously use it whenever possible.
- Fix a unit-test helper, to account for the previous changes. (Also, converts a function to be `async` instead.)
- Add one more exists-check in `PDFDocument.loadXfaFonts`, which I missed to suggest in PR 13146, to prevent any possible errors if the method is ever called in a situation where it shouldn't be.
Also, print a warning if the actual font-loading fails since that could help future debugging. (Finally, reduce overall indentation in the loop.)
- Slightly unrelated, but make a small tweak of a comment in `src/core/fonts.js` to reduce possible confusion.
- Different fonts can be used in xfa and some of them are embedded in the pdf.
- Load all the fonts in window.document.

There is no asynchronous code involved here, so we can get rid of all
done callbacks here and simply use the fact that if the function call
ends without failed assertion that the test passed.

With the current implementation of `PDFDocument.hasJSActions`, in the worker-thread, we're not actually handling not-yet-loaded data correctly. This can thus fail in *two* different ways:
- The `PDFDocument.fieldObjects` getter (and its helper method), while it may *return* a Promise, still fetches all of its data synchronously and it can thus throw a `MissingDataException` during parsing.
- The `Catalog.jsActions` getter, which is completely synchronous, can obviously throw a `MissingDataException` during parsing.
If either of these cases occur currently, the `PDFDocumentProxy.hasJSActions` method in the API can either return a *rejected* Promise (which it never should) or possibly "hang" and never resolve.
*Please note:* While I've not *yet* seen this error in an actual PDF document, it can happen during loading if you're unlucky enough with e.g. the structure of the PDF document and/or the download speed offered by the server.
This patch is thus based on code-inspection *and* on manually throwing a `MissingDataException` on the first access of `Catalog.jsActions` to simulate this situation.
Finally, this patch adds a couple of *API* unit-tests for this (since none existed).
This is first of all consistent with existing API-methods, where we return `null` when the data in question doesn't exist. Secondly, it should also be (slightly) more efficient since there's less dummy-data that we need to transfer between threads.
Finally, this prevents us from adding an empty/unnecessary span to *every* single page even in documents without any structure tree data.
The done callbacks are an outdated mechanism to signal Jasmine that a
unit test is done, mostly in cases where a unit test needed to wait for
an asynchronous operation to complete before doing its assertions.
Nowadays a much better mechanism is in place for that, namely simply
passing an asynchronous function to Jasmine, so we don't need callbacks
anymore (which require more code and may be more difficult to reason
about).
In these particular cases though the done callbacks never had any real
use since nothing asynchronous happens in these places. Synchronous
functions don't need to use done callbacks since Jasmine simply knows
it's done when the function reaches its normal end, so we can safely get
rid of these callbacks. The telltale sign is if the done callback is
used unconditionally at the end of the function.
This is all done in an effort to over time get rid of all callbacks in
the unit test code.
- but don't validate them for now;
- Firefox will display a bar to warn that the signature validation is not supported (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=854315)
- almost all (all ?) pdf readers display signatures;
- validation is done in edge but for now it's behind a pref.
When a PDF is "marked" we now generate a separate DOM that represents
the structure tree from the PDF. This DOM is inserted into the <canvas>
element and allows screen readers to walk the tree and have more
information about headings, images, links, etc. To link the structure
tree DOM (which is empty) to the text layer aria-owns is used. This
required modifying the text layer creation so that marked items are
now tracked.
Currently the `fontName`-property contains an actual /Name-instance, which is a problem given that its fallback value is an empty string; see ca7f546828/src/core/default_appearance.js (L35)
The reason that this is a problem can be seen in ca7f546828/src/core/primitives.js (L30-L34), since an empty string short-circuits the cache. Essentially, in PDF documents, a /Name-instance cannot be empty and the way that the `DefaultAppearanceEvaluator` does things is unfortunately not entirely correct.
Hence the `fontName`-property is changed to instead contain a string, rather than a /Name-instance, which simplifies the code overall.
*Please note:* I'm tagging this patch with "[api-minor]", since PR 12831 is included in the current pre-release (although we're not using the `fontName`-property in the display-layer).
Currently only URL-strings are officially supported by `getDocument`, however at this point in time I cannot really see any compelling reason to not support `URL`-objects as well.
Most likely the reason that we've don't already support `URL`-objects, in `getDocument`, is that historically `URL` wasn't fully implemented across browsers and our old polyfill wasn't perfect; see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/URL#browser_compatibility
*Please note:* Because of how the `url` parameter is currently handled, there's actually *some* cases where passing a `URL`-object to `getDocument` already works. That, in my opinion, provides additional motivation for supporting `URL`-objects officially, since it makes the API more consistent.
The following is an attempt to summarize the *current* situation, based on the actual code rather than the JSDocs:
- `getDocument("url string")` works and is documented.[1]
- `getDocument({ url: "url string", })` works and is documented.[1]
- `getDocument(new URL(...))` throws immediately, since no supported parameters are found.
- `getDocument({ url: new URL(...), })` actually works even though it's not documented.[1] Originally, when data was fetched on the worker-thread, this would likely have thrown since `URL` isn't clonable.[2]
- `getDocument({ url: { abc: 123, }, })`, or some similarily meaningless input, will be "accepted" by `getDocument` and then throw a `MissingPDFException` when attempting to fetch the bogus data.
With the changes in this patch, not only is `URL`-objects now officially supported and documented when calling `getDocument`, but we'll also do a much better job at actually validating any URL-data passed to `getDocument` (and instead fail early).
---
[1] In *browsers*, we create a valid URL thus indirectly validating the input. In Node.js environments, on the other hand, no validation is done since obtaining a baseUrl is more difficult (and PDF.js is primarily written for browsers anyway).

- implement few positioning properties: position, width, height, anchor;
- implement font element;
- implement fill element (used by font) and its children (linear, radial, ...);
- font property is inherited from ancestor container (see https://www.pdfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/XFA-3_3.pdf#page=43) so let CSS handles that stuff;
- in order to reduce the number of properties to set, only set non default properties and put the default in CSS;
- set a background to some containers to be able to see them (will be removed in a future commit).
- add an option to enable XFA rendering if any;
- for now, let the canvas layer: it could be useful to implement XFAF forms (embedded pdf in xml stream for the background and xfa form for the foreground);
- ui elements in template DOM are pretty close to their html counterpart so we generate a fake html DOM from template one:
- it makes easier to translate template properties to html ones;
- it makes faster the creation of the html element in the main thread.
It seems reasonable to place this alongside the *similar* `getFilenameFromUrl` helper function. This way, with the changes in the next patch, we also avoid having to expose the `isDataScheme` function in the API itself and we instead expose `getPdfFilenameFromUrl` in the API (which feels overall more appropriate).
A significant portion of the code-base has now been converted to use `let`/`const`, rather than `var`, hence it should be possible to simply enable the ESLint `no-var` rule globally.
This way we can ensure that new code won't accidentally use `var`, and it also removes the need to manually enable the rule in various folders.
Obviously it makes sense to continue the efforts to replace `var`, but that should probably happen on a file and/or folder basis.
Please note that this patch excludes the following code:
- The `extensions/` folder, since that seemed easiest for now (and I don't know exactly what the support situation is for the Chromium-extension).
- The entire `external/` folder is ignored, since most of it's currently excluded from linting.
For the code that isn't imported from elsewhere (and should be ignored), we should probably (at some point) bring the code up to the same linting/formatting standard as the rest of the code-base.
- Various files in the `test/` folder are ignored, as necessary, since the way that a lot of this code is loaded will require some care (or perhaps larger re-factoring) when removing `var` usage.
- strokeColor corresponds to borderColor;
- support fillColor and textColor;
- support colors on the different annotations;
- fix typo in aforms (+test).
Rather than converting the `AnnotationStorage`-data to an Object, before sending it to the worker-thread, we should be able to simply send the internal `Map` directly.
The "structured clone algorithm" doesn't have a problem with `Map`s, however the `LoopbackPort` used when workers are *disabled* (e.g. in Node.js environments) didn't use to support them. With PR 12997 having lifted that restriction, we should now be able to simply send the `AnnotationStorage`-data as-is rather than having to iterate through it to first create an Object.
*Please note:* The changes in `src/core/annotation.js` could have been a lot more compact if we were able to use optional chaining in the `src/core` folder. Unfortunately that's still not possible, since SystemJS is being used in the development viewer (i.g. `gulp server`) and fixing that is *still* blocked by [bug 1247687](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687).
With the previous patch this function is now *only* accessed on the worker-thread, hence it's no longer necessary to include it in the *built* `pdf.js` file.
With the previous patch this functionality is now *only* accessed on the worker-thread, hence it's no longer necessary to include it in the *built* `pdf.js` file.
The only reason, as far as I can tell, for parsing the Metadata on the main-thread is how it was originally implemented. When Metadata support was first implemented, it utilized the [`DOMParser`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DOMParser) which isn't available in workers.
Today, with the custom XML-parser being used, that's no longer an issue and it seems reasonable to move the Metadata parsing to the worker-thread[1], since that's where all parsing should happen (for performance reasons).
Based on these changes, we'll be able to reduce the now unnecessary duplication of the XML-parser (and related code) in both of the *built* `pdf.js`/`pdf.worker.js` files.
Finally, this patch changes the `_repair` method to use "Array + join" rather than string concatenation.

[1] This needed the previous patch, to enable sending of `Map`s between threads with workers disabled.
* don't set a value in annotationStorage by default:
- having an undefined when the annotation is rendered for saving/printing means nothing has changed so use normal appearance
- aims to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1681687
* change the way to compute font size when this one is null in DA:
- make fontSize proportional to line height
- in multiline case, take into account the number of lines for text entered to adapt the font size
- the parser is base on a class extending XMLParserBase
- it handle xml namespaces:
* each namespace is assocated with a builder
* builder builds nodes belonging to the namespace
* when a node is inserted in the parent namespace compatibility is checked (if required)
- to avoid name collision between xml names and object properties, use Symbol.
Note how, in the `if (this.stateManager.stateStack.length !== 0) {` branch, we're attempting to access the not yet defined variable[1] `args`. If this code-path is ever hit, an Error will be thrown and parsing will thus be aborted immediately (likely leading to e.g. rendering bugs).
Note that I found this purely by accident, since I happened to glance at the LGTM report. However, I've since found that the error is also present during the unit-test[2] and with this patch we're actually testing the *intended* thing here.
As part of fixing this, and to avoid re-introducing a similar bug in the future, we'll now instead always reset `args.length` *before* attempting to read the next operator.
Also, we can use the existing `EvaluatorPreprocessor.savedStatesDepth` getter to simplify the save/restore detection a tiny bit.
---
[1] The ESLint rule `no-use-before-define` would have helped catch this problem, but unfortunately we cannot enable that without quite a bit of refactoring all over the code-base.
[2] The unit-test was updated such that it would fail in the `master`-branch.
- For wrapped scrolling, we unfortunately need to do a fair bit of parsing of the *current* page layout. Compared to e.g. the spread-modes, where we can easily tell how the pages are laid out, with wrapped scrolling we cannot tell without actually checking. In particular documents with varying page sizes require some care, since we need to check all pages on the "row" of the current page are visible and that there aren't any "holes" present. Otherwise, in the general case, there's a risk that we'd skip over pages if we'd simply always advance to the previous/next "row" in wrapped scrolling.
- For horizontal scrolling, this patch simply maintains the current behaviour of advancing *one* page at a time. The reason for this is to prevent inconsistent behaviour for the next and previous cases, since those cannot be handled identically. For the next-case, it'd obviously be simple to advance to the first not completely visible page. However for the previous-case, we'd only be able to go back *one* page since it's not possible to (easily) determine the page layout of non-visible pages (documents with varying page sizes being a particular issue).
- For vertical scrolling, this patch maintains the current behaviour by default. When spread-modes are being used, we'll now attempt to advance to the next *spread*, rather than just the next page, whenever possible. To prevent skipping over a page, this two-page advance will only apply when both pages of the current spread are visible (to avoid breaking documents with varying page sizes) and when the second page in the current spread is fully visible *horizontally* (to handle larger zoom values).
In order to reduce the performance impact of these changes, note that the previous/next-functionality will only call `getVisibleElements` for the scroll/spread-modes where that's necessary and that "normal" vertical scrolling is thus unaffected by these changes.
To support these changes, the `getVisibleElements` helper function will now also include the `widthPercent` in addition to the existing `percent` property.
The `PDFViewer._updateHelper` method is changed slightly w.r.t. updating the `currentPageNumber` for the non-vertical/spread modes, i.e. won't affect "normal" vertical scrolling, since that helped simplify the overall calculation of the page advance.
Finally, these new `BaseViewer` methods also allow (some) simplification of previous/next-page functionality in various viewer components.
*Please note:* There's one thing that this patch does not attempt to change, namely disabling of the previous/next toolbarButtons respectively the firstPage/lastPage secondaryToolbarButtons. The reason for this is that doing so would add quite a bit of complexity in general, and if for some reason `BaseViewer._getPageAdvance` would get things wrong we could end up incorrectly disabling the buttons. Hence it seemed overall safer to *not* touch this, and accept that the buttons won't be `disabled` despite in some edge-cases no further scrolling being possible.
* Add a parser to get font data from the default appearance

This patch is a rebased *and* refactored version of PR 9448, such that it applies cleanly given that `PDFFindController` has changed since that PR was opened; obviously keeping the original author information intact.
This patch will thus ensure that e.g. fractions, and other things that we normalize before searching, will still be highlighted correctly in the textLayer.
Furthermore, this patch also adds basic unit-tests for this functionality.
*Note:* The `[api-minor]` tag is added, since third-party implementations of the `PDFFindController` must now always use the `pageMatchesLength` property to get accurate length information (see the `web/text_layer_builder.js` changes).

There's built-in ESLint rule, see `sort-imports`, to ensure that all `import`-statements are sorted alphabetically, since that often helps with readability.
Unfortunately there's no corresponding rule to sort `export`-statements alphabetically, however there's an ESLint plugin which does this; please see https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-sort-exports
The only downside here is that it's not automatically fixable, but the re-ordering is a one-time "cost" and the plugin will help maintain a *consistent* ordering of `export`-statements in the future.
*Note:* To reduce the possibility of introducing any errors here, the re-ordering was done by simply selecting the relevant lines and then using the built-in sort-functionality of my editor.
Given that the API will now, after PR 12039, automatically pick the correct factories to use depending on the environment (browser vs. Node.js), we can utilize that in the unit-tests as well. This way we don't have to manually repeat the same initialization code in *multiple* unit-tests.
*Note:* The *official* PDF.js API is defined in `src/pdf.js`, hence the new exports in `src/display/api.js` will not affect that.
Also, updates the unit-test `FileReaderFactory` helpers similarily.
*Drive-by change:* Fix the `CMapReaderFactory` usage in the annotation unit-tests, since the cache should only contain raw data and not a Promise. While this obviously works as-is, having unit-tests that "abuse" the intended data format can easily lead to unnecessary failures if changes are made to the relevant `src/core/` code.
This follows the same principle as the `once` option that exists in the native `addEventListener` method, and will thus automatically remove an `EventBus` listener when it's invoked; see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener#Parameters
Finally, this patch also tweaks some the existing `EventBus`-code to use modern features such as optional chaining and logical assignment operators.
* the goal is to execute actions like Open or OpenAction
* can be tested with issue6106.pdf (auto-print)
* once #12701 is merged, we can add page actions
* move set/clear|Timeout/Interval and crackURL code in pdf.js
* remove the "backdoor" in the proxy (used to dispatch event) and so return the dispatch function in the initializer
* remove listeners if an error occured during sandbox initialization
* add support for alert and prompt in the sandbox
* add a function to eval in the global scope
This simplifies not just this code, but the unit-tests as well, and should be sufficient as far as I can tell.
Note also that currently, in the *built* `pdf.sandbox.js` file, there's even a line reading `testMode = testMode && false;` because of an accidentally flipped pre-processor statement.
Finally, in the `scripting_spec.js` unit-test, defines `sandboxBundleSrc` at the top of the file to make it easier to find and/or change it when necessary.
Given that we already include the "Content-Disposition"-header filename, when it exists, it shouldn't hurt to also include the information from the "Content-Length"-header.
For PDF documents opened via a URL, which should be a very common way for the PDF.js library to be used, this will[1] thus provide a way of getting the PDF filesize without having to wait for the `getDownloadInfo`-promise to resolve[2].
With these API improvements, we can also simplify the filesize handling in the `PDFDocumentProperties` class.

Given the number of parameters, and the fact that many of them are booleans, the call-sites are no longer particularly easy to read and understand. Furthermore, this slightly improves the formatting of the JSDoc-comment, since it needed updating as part of these changes anyway.
Finally, this removes an unnecessary `numViews === 0` check from `getVisibleElements`, since that should be *very* rare and more importantly that the `binarySearchFirstItem` function already has a fast-path for that particular case.
This probably ought to have been included in PR 12534, but better late than never I suppose, since it helps to more clearly demonstrate the bug in a way that a reference-test alone just cannot do.
When writing this unit-test I also noticed that it required a certain amount of "luck" to actually trigger the bug, prior to the patch, since it seems that the bug only reproduced for certain *unfortunate* sequences of TypedArray data. (The added unit-test contains one such, purposely simple, example.)
The unit-test files themselves shouldn't be loaded until Jasmine has been setup/configured, however that doesn't matter for the "normal" PDF.js library files. Hence we can simply `import` them in the standard way.
This mainly involves the `crypto_spec.js` file which declared most
variables before their usage, which is not really consistent with the
rest of the codebase. This also required reformatting some long arrays
in that file because otherwise we would exceed the 80 character line
limit. Overall, this makes the code more readable.
Some pdf softwares don't remove highlight annotations but make the QuadPoints array empty.
And the Rect for the annotation can be [-32768, -32768, 32768, 32768] so it leads to have a giant div which catches all the mouse events and make the pdf unusable when there are some forms elements.
*This patch is based on a couple of smaller things that I noticed when working on PR 12479.*
- Don't store the /Fields on the `formInfo` getter, since that feels like overloading it with unintended (and too complex) data, and utilize a `hasFields` boolean instead.
This functionality was originally added in PR 12271, to help determine what kind of form data a PDF document contains, and I think that we should ensure that the return value of `formInfo` only consists of "simple" data.
With these changes the `fieldObjects` getter instead has to look-up the /Fields manually, however that shouldn't be a problem since the access is guarded by a `formInfo.hasFields` check which ensures that the data both exists and is valid. Furthermore, most documents doesn't even have any /AcroForm data anyway.
- Determine the `hasFields` property *first*, to ensure that it's always correct even if there's errors when checking e.g. the /XFA or /SigFlags entires, since the `fieldObjects` getter depends on it.
- Simplify a loop in `fieldObjects`, since the object being accessed is a `Map` and those have built-in iteration support.
- Use a higher logging level for errors in the `formInfo` getter, and include the actual error message, since that'd have helped with fixing PR 12479 a lot quicker.
- Update the JSDoc comment in `src/display/api.js` to list the return values correctly, and also slightly extend/improve the description.
The last unit-test didn't work correctly, since an error was thrown in `PDFDocument._hasOnlyDocumentSignatures` because the mocked `XRef`-instance wasn't actually being set correctly.
Also, updates the `XRefMock` to use `async` methods where appropriate.

This allows for merging of dictionaries one level deeper than previously. This could be useful e.g. for /Resources dictionaries, where you want to e.g. merge their respective /Font dictionaries (and other) together rather than picking just the first one.
Good form type detection is important to get reliable telemetry and to
only show the fallback bar if a form cannot be filled out by the user.
PDF.js only supports AcroForm data, so XFA data is explicitly unsupported
(tracked in issue #2373). However, the previous form type detection
couldn't separate AcroForm and XFA well enough, causing form type
telemetry to be incorrect sometimes and the fallback bar to be shown for
forms that could in fact be filled out by the user.
The solution in this commit is found by studying the specification and
the form documents that are available to us. In a nutshell the rules are:
- There is XFA data if the `XFA` entry is a non-empty array or stream.
- There is AcroForm data if the `Fields` entry is a non-empty array and
it doesn't consist of only document signatures.
The document signatures part was not handled in the old code, causing a
document with only XFA data to also be marked as having AcroForm data.
Moreover, the old code didn't check all the data types.
Now that AcroForm and XFA can be distinguished, the viewer is configured
to only show the fallback bar for documents that only have XFA data. If
a document also has AcroForm data, the viewer can use that to render the
form. We have not found documents where the XFA data was necessary in
that case.
Finally, we include unit tests to ensure that all cases are covered and
move the form type detection out of the `parse` function so that it's
only executed if the document information is actually requested
(potentially making initial parsing a tiny bit faster).
The `AcroForm` entry is part of the catalog, not of the document, so its
logic should be placed there instead. The document should look in the
catalog to fetch it, and not have knowledge of `catDict`, which is a
member internal to the catalog.
Moreover, make the AcroForm member private on the document instance. It's
only used internally and was also never intended to be public. For users
it's exposed by the `getMetadata` API endpoint as `IsAcroFormPresent`.
Only a boolean is exposed, so we now also only store the boolean on the
document instance.
Finally, the annotation code needs access to the full AcroForm
dictionary, so it's updated to fetch the data from the catalog instead
of the document that now only holds the boolean.
The down appearance (`D`) is optional and not available in the document
from #12233, so the checkboxes are never saved/printed as checked
because the checked appearance is based on the export value that is
missing because the `D` entry is not available.
Instead, we should use the normal appearance (`N`) since that one is
required and therefore always available.
Finally, the /Off appearance is optional according to section 12.7.4.2.3
of the specification, so that needs to be taken into account to match
the specification and to fix reference test failures for the
`annotation-button-widget-print` test. That is a file that doesn't
specify an /Off appearance in the normal appearance dictionary.
The helper method `_decodeFormValue` is used to ensure that it happens
in one place. Note that form values are field values, display values
and export values.
The specification states that the field value is `null` if no item is
selected and we didn't handle this case properly. Even though this did
not break the rendering because we always convert the value to an array
and the `includes` check in the display layer would simply not match,
the field value would be `[null]` which is not expected and strange from
an API perspective.
This commit fixes that by ensuring that we return an empty array in
case the field value is `null`. The API therefore still always gives an
array for the field value, but now the code is more specific so that the
value is either an empty array or an array of strings.
This commit follows the same pattern as another unit test in this file
and both reduces existing and future code duplication (since the next
commit will extend this test with an additional input).
This patch should *hopefully* remove the intermittent unit-test failure, by using the *same* `optionalContentConfigPromise` for both `renderTask`s and thus get more predictable timing behaviour.
Add a new method to the API to get the optional content configuration. Add
a new render task param that accepts the above configuration.
For now, the optional content is not controllable by the user in
the viewer, but renders with the default configuration in the PDF.
All of the test files added exhibit different uses of optional content.
Fixes#269.
Fix test to work with optional content.
- Change the stopAtErrors test to ensure the operator list has something,
instead of asserting the exact number of operators.
This might make debugging intermittent failures a bit easier in the
future because it allows us to spot unexpected differences in the number
of tests being run and allows us to run the tests locally in the same
order in case of intermittent failures.
This patch should *hopefully* remove the `Unhandled promise rejection: ...` errors, by returning the "final" promise. Also, by pausing/delaying of rendering slightly the likelihood of the test failing in the first place should thus be reduced.
When the old `Dict.getAll()` method was removed, it was replaced with a `Dict.getKeys()` call and `Dict.get(...)` calls (in a loop).
While this pattern obviously makes a lot of sense in many cases, there's some instances where we actually want the *raw* `Dict` values (i.e. `Ref`s where applicable). In those cases, `Dict.getRaw(...)` calls are instead used within the loop. However, by introducing a new `Dict.getRawValues()` method we can reduce the number of (strictly unnecessary) function calls by simply getting the *raw* `Dict` values directly.
This patch will help pathological cases the most, with issue 2813 being a particularily problematic example. While there's only *four* `/ExtGState` resources, there's a total `29062` of `setGState` operators. Even though parsing of a single `/ExtGState` resource is quite fast, having to re-parse them thousands of times does add up quite significantly.
For simplicity we'll only cache "simple" `/ExtGState` resource, since e.g. the general `SMask` case cannot be easily cached (without re-factoring other code, which may have undesirable effects on general parsing).
By caching "simple" `/ExtGState` resource, we thus improve performance by:
- Not having to fetch/validate/parse the same `/ExtGState` data over and over.
- Handling of repeated `setGState` operators becomes *synchronous* during the `OperatorList` building, instead of having to defer to the event-loop/microtask-queue since the `/ExtGState` parsing is done asynchronously.
---
Obviously I had intended to include (standard) benchmark results with this patch, but for reasons I don't understand the test run-time (even with `master`) of the document in issue 2813 is *a lot* slower than in the development viewer (making normal benchmarking infeasible).
However, testing this manually in the development viewer (using `pdfBug=Stats`) shows a *reduction* of `~10 %` in the rendering time of the PDF document in issue 2813.
Originally there weren't any (generally) good ways to handle errors gracefully, on the worker-side, however that's no longer the case and we can simply fallback to the existing `ignoreErrors` functionality instead.
Also, please note that the "no `/XObject` found"-scenario should be *extremely* unlikely in practice and would only occur in corrupt/broken documents.
Note that the `PartialEvaluator.getOperatorList` case is especially bad currently, since we'll simply (attempt to) send the data as-is to the main-thread. This is quite bad, since in a corrupt/broken document the data *could* contain anything and e.g. be unclonable (which would cause breaking errors).
Also, we're (obviously) not attempting to do anything with this "raw" `OPS.paintXObject` data on the main-thread and simply ensuring that we never send it definately seems like the correct approach.
This special-case was added in PR 1992, however it became unnecessary with the changes in PR 4824 since all of the ColorSpace parsing is now done on the worker-thread (with only RGB-data being sent to the main-thread).
Note how the `getFontID`-method in `src/core/fonts.js` is *completely* global, rather than properly tied to the current document. This means that if you repeatedly open and parse/render, and then close, even the *same* PDF document the `fontID`s will still be incremented continuously.
For comparison the `createObjId` method, on `idFactory`, will always create a *consistent* id, assuming of course that the document and its pages are parsed/rendered in the same order.
In order to address this inconsistency, it thus seems reasonable to add a new `createFontId` method on the `idFactory` and use that when obtaining `fontID`s. (When the current `getFontID` method was added the `idFactory` didn't actually exist yet, which explains why the code looks the way it does.)
*Please note:* Since the document id is (still) part of the `loadedName`, it's thus not possible for different documents to have identical font names.
This moves, and slightly simplifies, code that's currently residing in the unit-test utils into the actual library, such that it's bundled with `GENERIC`-builds and used in e.g. the API-code.
As an added bonus, this also brings out-of-the-box support for CMaps in e.g. the Node.js examples.
This patch contains the following *notable* improvements:
- Changes the `ColorSpace.parse` call-sites to, where possible, pass in a reference rather than actual ColorSpace data (necessary for the next point).
- Adds (local) caching of `ColorSpace`s by `Ref`, when applicable, in addition the caching by name. This (generally) improves `ColorSpace` caching for e.g. the SMask code-paths.
- Extends the (local) `ColorSpace` caching to also apply when handling Images and Patterns, thus further reducing unneeded re-parsing.
- Adds a new `ColorSpace.parseAsync` method, almost identical to the existing `ColorSpace.parse` one, but returning a Promise instead (this simplifies some code in the `PartialEvaluator`).
Since this helper function is no longer used anywhere in the main code-base, but only in a couple of unit-tests, it's thus being moved to a more appropriate spot.
Finally, the implementation of `isEmptyObj` is also tweaked slightly by removing the manual loop.
Currently some JPEG images are decoded by the built-in PDF.js decoder in `src/core/jpg.js`, while others attempt to use the browser JPEG decoder. This inconsistency seem unfortunate for a number of reasons:
- It adds, compared to the other image formats supported in the PDF specification, a fair amount of code/complexity to the image handling in the PDF.js library.
- The PDF specification support JPEG images with features, e.g. certain ColorSpaces, that browsers are unable to decode natively. Hence, determining if a JPEG image is possible to decode natively in the browser require a non-trivial amount of parsing. In particular, we're parsing (part of) the raw JPEG data to extract certain marker data and we also need to parse the ColorSpace for the JPEG image.
- While some JPEG images may, for all intents and purposes, appear to be natively supported there's still cases where the browser may fail to decode some JPEG images. In order to support those cases, we've had to implement a fallback to the PDF.js JPEG decoder if there's any issues during the native decoding. This also means that it's no longer possible to simply send the JPEG image to the main-thread and continue parsing, but you now need to actually wait for the main-thread to indicate success/failure first.
In practice this means that there's a code-path where the worker-thread is forced to wait for the main-thread, while the reverse should *always* be the case.
- The native decoding, for anything except the *simplest* of JPEG images, result in increased peak memory usage because there's a handful of short-lived copies of the JPEG data (see PR 11707).
Furthermore this also leads to data being *parsed* on the main-thread, rather than the worker-thread, which you usually want to avoid for e.g. performance and UI-reponsiveness reasons.
- Not all environments, e.g. Node.js, fully support native JPEG decoding. This has, historically, lead to some issues and support requests.
- Different browsers may use different JPEG decoders, possibly leading to images being rendered slightly differently depending on the platform/browser where the PDF.js library is used.
Originally the implementation in `src/core/jpg.js` were unable to handle all of the JPEG images in the test-suite, but over the last couple of years I've fixed (hopefully) all of those issues.
At this point in time, there's two kinds of failure with this patch:
- Changes which are basically imperceivable to the naked eye, where some pixels in the images are essentially off-by-one (in all components), which could probably be attributed to things such as different rounding behaviour in the browser/PDF.js JPEG decoder.
This type of "failure" accounts for the *vast* majority of the total number of changes in the reference tests.
- Changes where the JPEG images now looks *ever so slightly* blurrier than with the native browser decoder. For quite some time I've just assumed that this pointed to a general deficiency in the `src/core/jpg.js` implementation, however I've discovered when comparing two viewers side-by-side that the differences vanish at higher zoom levels (usually around 200% is enough).
Basically if you disable [this downscaling in canvas.js](8fb82e939c/src/display/canvas.js (L2356-L2395)), which is what happens when zooming in, the differences simply vanish!
Hence I'm pretty satisfied that there's no significant problems with the `src/core/jpg.js` implementation, and the problems are rather tied to the general quality of the downscaling algorithm used. It could even be seen as a positive that *all* images now share the same downscaling behaviour, since this actually fixes one old bug; see issue 7041.
Currently image resources, as opposed to e.g. font resources, are handled exclusively on a page-specific basis. Generally speaking this makes sense, since pages are separate from each other, however there's PDF documents where many (or even all) pages actually references exactly the same image resources (through the XRef table). Hence, in some cases, we're decoding the *same* images over and over for every page which is obviously slow and wasting both CPU and memory resources better used elsewhere.[1]
Obviously we cannot simply treat all image resources as-if they're used throughout the entire PDF document, since that would end up increasing memory usage too much.[2]
However, by introducing a `GlobalImageCache` in the worker we can track image resources that appear on more than one page. Hence we can switch image resources from being page-specific to being document-specific, once the image resource has been seen on more than a certain number of pages.
In many cases, such as e.g. the referenced issue, this patch will thus lead to reduced memory usage for image resources. Scrolling through all pages of the document, there's now only a few main-thread copies of the same image data, as opposed to one for each rendered page (i.e. there could theoretically be *twenty* copies of the image data).
While this obviously benefit both CPU and memory usage in this case, for *very* large image data this patch *may* possibly increase persistent main-thread memory usage a tiny bit. Thus to avoid negatively affecting memory usage too much in general, particularly on the main-thread, the `GlobalImageCache` will *only* cache a certain number of image resources at the document level and simply fallback to the default behaviour.
Unfortunately the asynchronous nature of the code, with ranged/streamed loading of data, actually makes all of this much more complicated than if all data could be assumed to be immediately available.[3]
*Please note:* The patch will lead to *small* movement in some existing test-cases, since we're now using the built-in PDF.js JPEG decoder more. This was done in order to simplify the overall implementation, especially on the main-thread, by limiting it to only the `OPS.paintImageXObject` operator.
---
[1] There's e.g. PDF documents that use the same image as background on all pages.
[2] Given that data stored in the `commonObjs`, on the main-thread, are only cleared manually through `PDFDocumentProxy.cleanup`. This as opposed to data stored in the `objs` of each page, which is automatically removed when the page is cleaned-up e.g. by being evicted from the cache in the default viewer.
[3] If the latter case were true, we could simply check for repeat images *before* parsing started and thus avoid handling *any* duplicate image resources.
Having `assert` calls without a message string isn't very helpful when debugging, and it turns out that it's easy enough to make use of ESLint to enforce better `assert` call-sites.
In a couple of cases the `assert` calls were changed to "regular" throwing of errors instead, since that seemed more appropriate.

The other testing code already uses the name of the browser as the
unique identifier, so I don't see a good reason to not use that for
identifying browsers to quit as well. Doing so simplifies the (already
somewhat complex) testing logic and ensures that we can use existing
functionality (such as the `getSession` function) to retrieve sessions.
As evident from the code, `PageViewport` only supports[1] `rotation` values which are a multiple of 90 degrees. Besides it being somewhat difficult to imagine meaningful use-cases for a non-multiple of 90 degrees `rotation`, the code also becomes both simpler and more efficient by not having to consider arbitrary `rotation` values.
However, any invalid rotation will *silently* fallback to assume zero `rotation` which probably isn't great for e.g. `PDFPageProxy.getViewport` in the API. Hence this patch, which will now enforce that only valid `rotation` values are accepted.

[1] As far as I can tell, from looking through the history, nothing else has ever been supported either.
*Please note:* These changes were done automatically, using the `gulp lint --fix` command.
This rule is already enabled in mozilla-central, see https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/567b68b8ff4b6d607ba34a6f1926873d21a7b4d7/tools/lint/eslint/eslint-plugin-mozilla/lib/configs/recommended.js#103-104
The main advantage, besides improved consistency, of this rule is that it reduces the size of the code (by 3 bytes for each case). In the PDF.js code-base there's close to 8000 instances being fixed by the `dot-notation` ESLint rule, which end up reducing the size of even the *built* files significantly; the total size of the `gulp mozcentral` build target changes from `3 247 456` to `3 224 278` bytes, which is a *reduction* of `23 178` bytes (or ~0.7%) for a completely mechanical change.
A large number of these changes affect the (large) lookup tables used on the worker-thread, but given that they are still initialized lazily I don't *think* that the new formatting this patch introduces should undo any of the improvements from PR 6915.

This patch fixes yet another instalment in the never-ending series of "what the *bleep* was I thinking", by changing the `PDFDocumentProxy.getViewerPreferences` method to return `null` by default.
Not only is this method now consistent with many other API methods, for the data not present case, but it also avoids having to e.g. loop through an object to check if it's actually empty (note the old unit-test).
Please note that these changes were done automatically, using `gulp lint --fix`.
Given that the major version number was increased, there's a fair number of (primarily whitespace) changes; please see https://prettier.io/blog/2020/03/21/2.0.0.html
In order to reduce the size of these changes somewhat, this patch maintains the old "arrowParens" style for now (once mozilla-central updates Prettier we can simply choose the same formatting, assuming it will differ here).
With two kind of builds now being produced, with/without translation/polyfills, it's unfortunately somewhat easy for users to accidentally pick the wrong one.
In the case where a user would attempt to use a modern build of PDF.js in an older browser, such as e.g. IE11, the failure would be immediate when the code is loaded (given the use of unsupported ECMAScript features).
However in some browsers/environments, in particular Node.js, a modern PDF.js build may load correctly and thus *appear* to function, only to fail for e.g. certain API calls. To hopefully lessen the support burden, and to try and improve things overall, this patch adds checks to ensure that a modern build of PDF.js cannot be used in browsers/environments which lack native support for critical functionality (such as e.g. `ReadableStream`). Hence we'll fail early, with an error message telling users to pick an ES5-compatible build instead.
To ensure that we actually test things better especially w.r.t. usage of the PDF.js library in Node.js environments, the `gulp npm-test` task as used by Node.js/Travis was changed (back) to test an ES5-compatible build.
(Since the bots still test the code as-is, without transpilation/polyfills, this shouldn't really be a problem as far as I can tell.)
As part of these changes there's now both `gulp lib` and `gulp lib-es5` build targets, similar to e.g. the generic builds, which thanks to some re-factoring only required adding a small amount of code.
*Please note:* While it's probably too early to tell if this will be a widespread issue, it's possible that this is the sort of patch that *may* warrant being `git cherry-pick`ed onto the current beta version (v2.4.456).
This functionality was only added to the default viewer for backwards compatibility and to support the various PDF viewer tests in mozilla-central, with the intention to eventually remove it completely.
While the different mozilla-central tests cannot be *easily* converted from DOM events, it's however possible to limit that functionality to only MOZCENTRAL builds *and* when tests are running.
Rather than depending of the re-dispatching of internal events to the DOM, the default viewer can instead be used in e.g. the following way:
```javascript
document.addEventListener("webviewerloaded", function() {
PDFViewerApplication.initializedPromise.then(function() {
// The viewer has now been initialized, and its properties can be accessed.
PDFViewerApplication.eventBus.on("pagerendered", function(event) {
console.log("Has rendered page number: " + event.pageNumber);
});
});
});
```
Fixes#11718 in which the `ff` ligature glyph is at index zero in a CFF font. Beacuse this is a CIDFont, glyph names are CIDs, which are integers. Thus the string `".notdef"` is not correct. The rest of the charset data is already parsed correctly as integers when the boolean argument `cid` is true.
*This is part of a series of patches that will try to split PR 11566 into smaller chunks, to make reviewing more feasible.*
Once all the code has been fixed, we'll be able to eventually enable the ESLint no-shadow rule; see https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-shadow
This property has never been documented and/or *intentionally* exposed through the API, instead the `PDFPageProxy.pageNumber` property is the documented/intended API to use here.
Hence pageIndex is changed to a "private" property on `PDFPageProxy` instances, and internal API functionality is also updated to *consistently* use `this._pageIndex` rather than a mix of formats.
Trying to enable the ESLint rule `no-shadow`, against the `master` branch, would result in a fair number of errors in the `Glyph` class in `src/core/fonts.js`.
Since the glyphs are exposed through the API, we can't very well change the `isSpace` property on `Glyph` instances. Thus the best approach seems, at least to me, to simply rename the `isSpace` helper function to `isWhiteSpace` which shouldn't cause any issues given that it's only used in the `src/core/` folder.
Note that `Dict.set` will only be called with values returned through `Parser.getObj`, and thus indirectly via `Lexer.getObj`. Since neither of those methods will ever return `undefined`, we can simply assert that that's the case when inserting data into the `Dict` and thus get rid of `in` checks when doing the data lookups.
In this case, since `Dict.set` is fairly hot, the patch utilizes an *inline check* and when necessary a direct call to `unreachable` to not affect performance of `gulp server/test` too much (rather than always just calling `assert`).
For very large and complex PDF files this will help performance *slightly*, since `Dict.{get, getAsync, has}` is called *a lot* during parsing in the worker.
This patch was tested using the PDF file from issue 2618, i.e. http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=226471, with the following manifest file:
```
[
{ "id": "issue2618",
"file": "../web/pdfs/issue2618.pdf",
"md5": "",
"rounds": 250,
"type": "eq"
}
]
```
which gave the following results when comparing this patch against the `master` branch:
```
-- Grouped By browser, stat --
browser | stat | Count | Baseline(ms) | Current(ms) | +/- | % | Result(P<.05)
------- | ------------ | ----- | ------------ | ----------- | --- | ----- | -------------
Firefox | Overall | 250 | 2838 | 2820 | -18 | -0.65 | faster
Firefox | Page Request | 250 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 11.92 | slower
Firefox | Rendering | 250 | 2837 | 2818 | -19 | -0.65 | faster
```
This patch deprecates the existing `getOpenActionDestination` API method, in favor of a better and more general `getOpenAction` method instead. (For now JavaScript actions, related to printing, are still handled as before.)
By clearly separating "regular" Print actions from the JavaScript handling, it's thus possible to get rid of the somewhat annoying and strictly incorrect warning when the viewer loads.
Given that all of these primitives implement caching, to avoid unnecessarily duplicating those objects *a lot* during parsing, it would thus be good to actually enforce usage of `Cmd.get()`/`Name.get()`/`Ref.get()` in the code-base.
Luckily it turns out that there's an ESLint rule, which is fairly easy to use, that can be used to disallow arbitrary JavaScript syntax.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-restricted-syntax
This patch makes the following changes, to improve these API methods:
- Let `PDFPageProxy.cleanup` return a boolean indicating if clean-up actually happened, since ongoing rendering will block clean-up.
Besides being used in other parts of this patch, it seems that an API user may also be interested in the return value given that clean-up isn't *guaranteed* to happen.
- Let `PDFDocumentProxy.cleanup` return the promise indicating when clean-up is finished.
- Improve the JSDoc comment for `PDFDocumentProxy.cleanup` to mention that clean-up is triggered on *both* threads (without going into unnecessary specifics regarding what *exactly* said data actually is).
Add a note in the JSDoc comment about not calling this method when rendering is ongoing.
- Change `WorkerTransport.startCleanup` to throw an `Error` if it's called when rendering is ongoing, to prevent rendering from breaking.
Please note that this won't stop *worker-thread* clean-up from happening (since there's no general "something is rendering"-flag), however I'm not sure if that's really a problem; but please don't quote me on that :-)
All of the caches that's being cleared in `Catalog.cleanup`, on the worker-thread, *should* be re-filled automatically even if cleared *during* parsing/rendering, and the only thing that probably happens is that e.g. font data would have to be re-parsed.
On the main-thread, on the other hand, clearing the caches is more-or-less guaranteed to cause rendering errors, since the rendering code in `src/display/canvas.js` isn't able to re-request any image/font data that's suddenly being pulled out from under it.
- Last, but not least, add a couple of basic unit-tests for the clean-up functionality.
While it would be nice to change the `PDFFormatVersion` property, as returned through `PDFDocumentProxy.getMetadata`, to a number (rather than a string) that would unfortunately be a breaking API change.
However, it does seem like a good idea to at least *validate* the PDF header version on the worker-thread, rather than potentially returning an arbitrary string.

With the recent introduction of Prettier this sort of mass enabling of ESLint rules becomes a lot easier, since the code will be automatically reformatted as necessary to account for e.g. changed line lengths.
Note that this patch is generated automatically, by using the ESLint `--fix` argument, and will thus require some additional clean-up (which is done separately).
