With the previous patch, this helper function is no longer used and keeping it around will simply increase the size of the builds.
This removal is purposely done *separately*, to make it easy to revert the patch in the future if this helper function would become useful again.
This small change will help validate an important part of the upcoming re-factoring, regarding the *correct* iteration of the `Set` in the `PDFPageViewBuffer.resize` method in particular.
The `PDFPageViewBuffer`-code is very important for the correct function of the viewer, but it's currently not tested at all.
While the `PDFPageViewBuffer` is obviously intended to be used with `PDFPageView`-instances, it only accesses a couple of `PDFPageView` properties/methods and consequently it's fairly easy to unit-test this code with dummy-data.
These unit-tests should help improve our confidence in this code, and will also come in handy with other changes that I'm working on (regarding modernizing and re-factoring the `PDFPageViewBuffer`-code).
Note how in `PDFPageViewBuffer.resize` we're manually iterating through the visible pages in order to build a Set of the visible page `id`s. By instead moving the building of this Set into the `getVisibleElements` helper function, as part of the existing parsing, this code becomes *ever so slightly* more efficient.
Furthermore, more direct access to the visible page `id`s also come in handy in other parts of the viewer as well.
In the `BaseViewer.isPageVisible` method we no longer need to loop through the visible pages, but can instead directly check if the pageNumber is visible.
In the `PDFRenderingQueue.getHighestPriority` method, when checking for "holes" in the page layout, we can also avoid some unnecessary look-ups this way.
Very short strings can narrowly miss the existing Bidi-detection threshold, leading to incorrect text-selection and copying behaviour.
In my testing, neither Adobe Reader or PDFium seem to handle copying "correctly" for this document. Hence it's not entirely clear to me that we actually want to fix this, since tweaking these heuristics can *obviously* cause regressions elsewhere (and our test coverage for RTL-text isn't exactly great).
- PR #13257 fixed a lot of issues but not all and this patch aims to fix almost all remaining issues.
- the idea in this new patch is to compare position of new glyph with the last position where a glyph has been drawn;
- no space are "drawn": it just moves the cursor but they aren't added in the chunk;
- so this way a space followed by a cursor move can be treated as only one space: it helps to merge all spaces into one.
- to make difference between real spaces and tracking ones, we used a factor of the space width (from the font)
- it was a pretty good idea in general but it fails with some fonts where space was too big:
- in Poppler, they're using a factor of the font size: this is an excellent idea (<= 0.1 * fontSize implies tracking space).
*Please note:* This is a tentative patch, since I don't have the necessary a11y-software to actually test it.
To avoid having to add a new API-method just for a single string, I figured that adding the new property to the existing `documentInfo`-data (accessed via `PDFDocumentProxy.getMetadata` in the API) will hopefully be deemed acceptable.
Looking at the code, I do have to agree with the point made in issue 12731 about it being unexpected/unhelpful that the `PDFFindController.executeCommand`-method isn't directly usable with the "find"-event.
The reason for it being this way is, as so often, for historical reasons: The `executeCommand`-method was added (just) prior to the introduction of the `EventBus` in the viewer.
Obviously we cannot simply change the existing `PDFFindController.executeCommand`-method, since that'd be a breaking change in code which has existed for over five years.
Initially I figured that we could simply add a new method in `PDFFindController` that'd accept the state from the "find"-event, however after thinking about this and looking through the use-cases in the default viewer I settled on a slightly different approach: Let the `PDFFindController` just listen for the "find"-event (on the `EventBus`-instance) directly instead, which also removes one level of (unneeded) indirection during searching in the default viewer.
For GENERIC builds of the PDF.js library, the old `PDFFindController.executeCommand`-method is still available with a deprecation warning.
Note how both the annotationLayer and the document outline will apply various URL-related options when creating the link-elements.
For consistency the `xfaLayer`-rendering should obviously use the same options, to ensure that the existing options are indeed applied to all URLs regardless of where they originate.
Having recently worked with, and reviewed patches touching, this code it seemed that it's probably not a bad idea to move that functionality into `createValidAbsoluteUrl` as new options instead.
For the `addDefaultProtocolToUrl` functionality in particular, the existing helper function was not only moved but slightly improved as well. Looking at the code, I realized that there's a small risk that it would incorrectly match a *relative* URL-string too.
With these changes, the `createValidAbsoluteUrl` call-sites in the `src/core/`-code can be simplified a little bit.
*Please note:* This patch may, indirectly, change the format of the `unsafeUrl`-property returned with relevant Annotations and OutlineItems; hence the `api-minor` tag.
However, I'd argue that it's actually more correct this way since the whole purpose of `unsafeUrl` is/was to return the URL data as-is without any parsing done.
- it aims to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1716758;
- some buttons have a JS action with the pattern `app.launchURL(...)` (or similar) so extract when it's possible the url and generate a <a> element with the href equals to the found url;
- pdf.js already had some code to handle that so this patch slightly refactor that.
In order to implement this, we utilize the existing `bidi` function to infer the text-direction of /T and /Contents entries. While this may not be perfect in cases where one PopupAnnotation mixes LTR and RTL languages, it should work well enough in most cases.
To avoid having to add *two new* properties in lots of annotations, supplementing the existing `title`/`contents`-properties, this patch instead re-factors the existing code such that the properties are replaced by Objects (containing `str` and `dir`).
*Please note:* In order avoid breaking existing third-party implementations, `GENERIC`-builds of the PDF.js library will still provide the old `title`/`contents`-properties on annotations returned by `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations`.
- In the pdf in issue #14071, some select fields don't contain any values;
- the corresponding node has a bindItems and a bind elements and _bindItems function was just not called.
With this patch we'll ensure that only valid absolute URLs can be used in XFA documents, similar to the existing validation done for "regular" PDF documents.
Furthermore, we'll also attempt to add a default protocol (i.e. `http`) to URLs beginning with "www." in XFA documents as well; this on its own is enough to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1731240
- it aims to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1719148;
- JS can set a property for a non-rendered annotation using the annotationStorage but the other unset default properties must be used when the annotation is finally rendered;
- so this patch just adds the properties already set in the annotationStorage to the default value.
*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.
