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).
With the `builtInCMapCache` being a simple Object, it unfortunately means that the `Catalog.cleanup` method isn't resetting it as intended.
By just replacing the `builtInCMapCache` with an empty Object, existing references to it will not actually be updated. The result is that e.g. `Page` instances still keeps references to, what should have been removed, CMap data.
To fix these problems, the `builtInCMapCache` is converted into a `Map` instead (since it can be easily reset).
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 patch avoids choosing a (possible) 'trailer' dictionary that `XRef.parse` and/or the `Catalog` constructor/methods will reject anyway.
Since `XRef.indexObjects` is already parsing the entire PDF file, the extra dictionary look-ups added here shouldn't matter much. Besides, this is a fallback code-path that only applies to corrupt PDF files anyway.
Note that the `Catalog` constructor, and some of its methods, are already enforcing that the 'Root' dictionary is valid/well-formed. However, by doing additional validation already in `XRef.parse` there's a slightly larger chance that corrupt PDF files could be successfully parsed/rendered.
The built-in image decoders are already using `Uint8ClampedArray` when returning data, and this patch simply extends that to the rest of the image/colorspace code.
As far as I can tell, the only reason for using manual clamping/rounding in the first place was because TypedArrays used to be polyfilled (using regular arrays). And trying to polyfill the native clamping/rounding would probably have been had too much overhead, but given that TypedArray support is required in PDF.js version `2.0` that's no longer a concern.
*Please note:* Because of different rounding behaviour, basically `Math.round` in `Uint8ClampedArray` respectively `Math.floor` in the old code, there will be very slight movement in quite a few existing test-cases. However, the changes should be imperceivable to the naked eye, given that the absolute difference is *at most* `1` for each RGB component when comparing `master` and this patch (see also the updated expectation values in the unit-tests).
The current PageLabel dictionary validation code won't catch some (unlikely) forms of corruption. For example: a `Type`/`S` entry being `null`/`0`/empty string, a `P`/`St` entry being `null`/`0`.
Please note: I'm not aware of any bugs caused by the old code, but I've had this patch sitting locally for some time and figured it couldn't hurt to submit it.
This patch refactors the searching for 'endobj', to try and find the next occurance of "obj" and then check if it was in fact an 'endobj' and continue searching otherwise.
This approach is used to avoid having to first find 'endobj', and then re-check the entire contents of the object and having to run (potentially expensive) regular expressions on arbitrary long strings.
Fixes 9105.
When looking briefly at using `Number.isInteger`/`Number.isNan` rather than `isInt`/`isNaN`, I noticed that there's a couple of not entirely straightforward cases to consider.
At first I really couldn't understand why `parseInt` is being used like it is in `XRef.fetchUncompressed`, since the `num` and `gen` properties of an object reference should *always* be integers.
However, doing a bit of code archaeology pointed to PR 4348, and it thus seem that this was a very deliberate change. Since I didn't want to inadvertently introduce any regressions, I've kept the `parseInt` calls intact but moved them to occur *only* when actually necessary.[1]
Secondly, I noticed that there's a redundant `isCmd` check for an edge-case of broken operators. Since we're throwing a `FormatError` if `obj3` isn't a command, we don't need to repeat that check.
In practice, this patch could perhaps be considered as a micro-optimization, but considering that `XRef.fetchUncompressed` can be called *many* thousand times when loading larger PDF documents these changes at least cannot hurt.

[1] I even ran all tests locally, with an added `assert(Number.isInteger(obj1) && Number.isInteger(obj2));` check, and everything passed with flying colours.
However, since it appears that this was in fact necessary at one point, one possible explanation is that the failing test-case(s) have now been replaced by reduced ones.
According to the specification, see http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#page=377, a `Dest` entry in an outline item should *not* contain a dictionary.
Unsurprisingly there's PDF generators that completely ignore this, treating is an `A` entry instead.
The patch also adds a little bit more validation code in `Catalog.parseDestDictionary`.
This replaces `assert` calls with `throw new FormatError()`/`throw new Error()`.
In a few places, throwing an `Error` (which is what `assert` meant) isn't correct since the enclosing function is supposed to return a `Promise`, hence some cases were changed to `Promise.reject(...)` and similarily for `createPromiseCapability` instances.
Looking at the blame, it seems that this typo was present even before PR 700 (almost six years ago).
The result of using `'num'`, rather than the *correct* `'numPages'` string, is that the `Catalog.numPages` getter isn't actually being shadowed.
The `ObjectLoader` currently takes an Object as input, despite actually working with `Dict`s internally. This means that at the (two) existing call-sites, we're passing in the "private" `Dict.map` property directly.
Doing this seems like an anti-pattern, and we could (and even should) simply provide the actual `Dict` when creating an `ObjectLoader` instance.
Accessing properties stored in the `Dict` is now done using the intended methods instead, in particular `getRaw` which (as the name suggests) doesn't do any de-referencing, thus maintaining the current functionality of the code.
The only functional change in this patch is that `ObjectLoader.load` will now ignore empty nodes, such that `ObjectLoader._walk` only needs to deal with nodes that are known to contain data. (This lets us skip, among other checks, meaningless `addChildren` function calls.)
Please note that the `glyphlist.js` and `unicode.js` files are converted to CommonJS modules instead, since Babel cannot handle files that large and they are thus excluded from transpilation.
PR 7341 added special handling for `nameddest`s that look like pageNumbers, to prevent issues since we previously *incorrectly* supported specifying a pageNumber directly in the hash; i.e. `#10` versus the correct `#page=10` format.
Since this behaviour wasn't correct, PR 7757 fixed and deprecated the old format, which means that we no longer need to maintain the `nameddest` hack in multiple files.
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.
I found that PR 8105 unfortunately causes a *very serious* performance regression in long PDF documents where the `Pages` tree only has one level; my apologies for this!
Obviously we cannot revert that PR, since that would cause more issues than it solves. Hence it seems to me that the only viable solution here, is to add a simple `RefSetCache` to reduce the amount of redundant lookups.
Previously in PR 8105 caching was thought to be unnecessary, but as it turns out I don't think that we really have a choice in the matter any more.
In core/document.js: `PDFDocument.prototype.parse` accesses a dictionary
property, which could throw if the underlying data is not yet available.
In core/obj.js: `get Catalog.prototype.metadata` calls
`stream.getBytes`, which can throw MissingDataException too when the
stream is a ChunkedStream.
This fixes something that I noticed while working with the code in `Catalog.getPageDict` when debugging issue 8088.
Note that while I don't have an example where this patch really matters, given that e.g. `PartialEvaluator.hasBlendModes` depends on the `objId` to avoid cyclic references this patch could potentially help for some PDF files.
As discussed on IRC, we need to check all nodes at the *bottom* of the tree to ensure that we find the correct `Page` dict.
Furthermore, this patch also gets rid of the caching present in a previous version, since it's not clear if that really helps.
Note that this patch purposely adds an `eq` test, using a reduced test-case, so that we can be sure that the algorithm actually finds the correct `Page` dict for each `pageIndex`.
Fixes 8088.
Using `else` after `return` is not necessary, and can often lead to unnecessarily cluttered code. By using the `no-else-return` rule in ESLint we can avoid this pattern, see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-else-return.
We're already passing in a, currently unused, `PdfManager` instance when initializing the `XRef`. To avoid having to pass a single `password` parameter around, we could thus simply get the `password` through the `PdfManager` instance instead.
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.
