The code in question is *only* relevant in non-`PRODUCTION` mode, i.e. the *development* version of the viewer run with `gulp server`, and has been completely unused at least since SystemJS was added.
I really cannot see any reason to keep this, since it's code which first of all isn't shipping and secondly isn't even being used in the development viewer.
For *very* long/large documents fetching all pages on load may cause quite bad performance, both memory and CPU wise. In order to at least slightly alleviate this, we can let the viewer treat these kind of documents[1] as if `disableAutoFetch` were set.

[1] One example of a really bad case is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1588435, which this patch should at least help somewhat. In general, for these cases, we'd probably need to implement switching between `PDFViewer`/`PDFSinglePageViewer` (as already tracked on GitHub) and use the latter for these kind of long documents.
The issue has been open for years now, and has even been marked with `5-good-beginner-bug` for *months*, without any movement.
Considering just how simple the suggested solution is, I'm submitting this patch just to close out a long-standing issue.
Obviously userAgent checks aren't that great, since it's very easy to spoof, but it probably doesn't hurt to attempt to extend this (since it's limited to `GENERIC` builds).
Besides, anyone using the default viewer can always set the `maxCanvasPixels` option to a value of their choosing.
Sometimes we also used `@return`, but `@returns` is what the JSDoc
documentation recommends. Even though `@return` works as an alias, it's
good to use the recommended syntax and to be consistent within the
project.
Sometimes we also used `@return` or `@returns`, but `@type` is what
the JSDoc documentation recommends. This also improves the documentation
because before this commit the types were not shown and now they are.
I've absolutely no idea why I wrote the code that way originally, since the nested `if`s are not really helping readability one bit.
Hence this patch which changes things to use early `return`s instead, to help readability.
Rather than manually clamping the `width` here, we can just `export` an already existing helper function from `ui_utils.js` instead.
(Hopefully it will eventually be possible to replace this helper function with a native `Math.clamp` function, given that there exists a "Stage 1 Proposal" for adding such a thing to the ECMAScript specification.)
Besides avoiding errors during loading, this also ensures that the document will be correctly scrolled/zoomed into view once the viewer becomes visible.
This "new" behaviour was always intended, see PR 2613, however various re-factoring over the years seem to have broken this (and I'm probably at least somewhat responsible for that).
By transfering, rather than copying, `ArrayBuffer`s between the main- and worker-threads, you can avoid unnecessary allocations by only having *one* copy of the same data.
Hence manually setting `postMessageTransfers: false`, when calling `getDocument`, is a performance footgun[1] which will do nothing but waste memory.
Given that every reasonably modern browser supports `postMessage` transfers[2], I really don't see why it should be possible to force-disable this functionality.
Looking at the browser support, for `postMessage` transfers[2], it's highly unlikely that PDF.js is even usable in browsers without it. However, the feature testing of `postMessage` transfers is kept for the time being just to err on the safe side.

[1] This is somewhat similar to the, now removed, `disableWorker` parameter which also provided API users a much too simple way of reducing performance.
[2] See e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MessagePort/postMessage#Browser_compatibility and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Transferable#Browser_compatibility
This was added in PR 4470, but doesn't appear to have been used since.
While it's certainly easy to understand how this was helpful during development of that PR, actually providing this hash parameter isn't going to work anymore given that the original CMap files were also removed from the repository.
I suppose that the hash parameter *could* be useful if you'd attempt to update the BCMap files, however that hasn't been attempted even once in over *five* years time. Furthermore, at this point using the `AppOptions` directly in that situation should also work fine.
All in all, this seems like a piece of old and unused code which we can simply remove now.
By using the same internal formatting here as in the `Ref.toString` method, in `src/core/primitives.js`, all cache-keys will become at least two bytes shorter (and most three bytes shorter).
Obviously this won't have a huge effect on memory since there's only one cache entry per page, but it nonetheless seems wasteful to use longer keys than strictly required.
Firefox telemetry supports using string labels now. Convert our integers
that we used for categories to just use strings.
The upstream work will happen in:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1566882
Currently the indicator may remain visible even after the document has been closed, which seems weird given that no page is either visible nor rendering :-)
Ensure that setting the `zoomDisabledTimeout` isn't skipped, regardless of the supported zoom keys, when handling mouse wheel events (PR 7097 follow-up)
*Possible follow-up:* It probably wouldn't hurt to try and shorten the `supportedMouseWheelZoomModifierKeys` name a bit, but I'm not attempting that here since it'd also require updating `PdfStreamConverter.jsm` in mozilla-central in order to be consistent.
Since calling `getDocument` with a `PDFDataRangeTransport` argument will always unconditionally override a manually provided `length` argument, see a1a667809f/src/display/api.js (L390-L394), this patch should thus be safe.
This functionality is very old, and pre-dates e.g. the introduction of the `EventBus` by a number of years. Rather than attaching two callback functions to every single `PDFPageView` instance, it's thus now possible to utilize the `EventBus` such that you only need a grand total of two listeners to achieve the same result.
For the `onAfterDraw` callback the replacement is particularly simple, given that a 'pagerendered' event is already being dispatched in the appropriate spot. An added benefit here is the ability to remove the event listener, since we only ever care about *one* (arbitrary) page being rendered for the `BaseViewer.onePageRendered` promise.
For the `onBeforeDraw` callback, a new 'pagerender' event was thus added to replace the callback.
Given that this special-case only matters for the Firefox PDF viewer, it's probably better to just move it into `firefoxcom.js` instead to reduce unnecessary confusion.
Similar to the `zoomReset` method we need to ensure that this code won't run for zoom events originating within the browser UI itself, since checks in e.g. the `keydown` event handler won't help in that case.
When searching occurs for the first time in a document, the `textContent` of all pages will be fetched from the API. If there's a pending search operation when the document loads that will thus lead to a lot of `getTextContent` calls very early on, which may unnecessarily delay rendering of the first page. Generally, in the viewer, a number of non-essential API calls[1] will be deferred until the first page has been rendered, and there's no good reason as far as I can tell to handle searching differently.

Unless the `PDFLinkService` instance contains all of the expected methods, a lot of things will break in various places in the default viewer. Hence there's not much value in having this check, and outright falling seems more appropriate.
Finally, this also makes the return value explicit in this case, since that's consistent with the rest of the `PDFFindController._shouldDirtyMatch` method.
As have already been stated multiple times, simply increasing the printing resolution may have undesirable effects on both memory usage *and* general performance. Hence why PR 10854 did *not* add a preference, and only exposed AppOption by default in `GENERIC` builds for now.
However, considering how differently printing works in the built-in Firefox version (with `mozPrintCallback`) compared to the general default viewer, any testing done in the latter case might not be completely relevant to the first (and most important) case of the Firefox PDF Viewer.
Note that considering the implementation of `AppOptions.get`, this patch will be safe and should allow experimenting with `printResolution` in all builds of the default viewer[1]. By not, however, having `printResolution` appear in AppOptions for either the `MOZCENTRAL` or `CHROMIUM` build targets, there should be no indication of official support for now.
Furthermore, it shouldn't be a preference at this point in time (or even at all), since that makes it too easy for users to change it permanently[2] and possible "break" printing.
---
[1] By running `PDFViewerApplicationOptions.get('printResolution', /* value here */);` in the console after the viewer loads.
[2] I've seen Firefox bugs, filed in Bugzilla, where users modified e.g. preferences manually in `about:config` and then some time later (maybe months) wondered why something was suddenly broken. In those cases, trying to work out that a preference change was the culprit can take time/effort.
This includes the information in the core and display layers. The
date parsing logic from the document properties is rewritten according
to the specification and now includes unit tests.
Moreover, missing unit tests for the color of a popup annotation have
been added.
Finally the styling of the popup is changed slightly to make the text a
bit smaller (it's currently quite large in comparison to other viewers)
and to make the drop shadow a bit more subtle. The former is done to be
able to easily include the modification date in the popup similar to how
other viewers do this.
