With PDF.js version `2.0` we'll only support browsers with built-in `TypedArray` functionality, hence there doesn't seem to be any good reason not to implement this now.
Fixes 4888.
Despite this patch removing the `disableWorker` option itself, please note that we'll still fallback to loading the worker file(s) on the main-thread when running in environments without proper Web Worker support.
Furthermore it's still possible, even with this patch, to force the use of fake workers by manually loading the necessary file using a `<script>` tag on the main-thread.[1]
That way, the functionality of the now removed `SINGLE_FILE` build target and the resulting `build/pdf.combined.js` file can still be achieved simply by adding e.g. `<script src="build/pdf.worker.js"></script>` to the HTML (obviously with the path adjusted as needed).
Finally note that the `disableWorker` option is a performance footgun, and unfortunately many existing third-party examples actually use it without providing any sort of warning/justification.

[1] This approach is used in the default viewer, since certain kind of debugging may be easier if the code is running directly on the main-thread.
This method returns the currently used `workerSrc`, which thus allows obtaining the fallback `workerSrc` value (e.g. when the option wasn't set by the user).
This patch updates the `IPDFStreamReader` interface and ensures that the interface/implementation of `network.js`, `fetch_stream.js`, `node_stream.js`, and `transport_stream.js` all match properly.
The unit-tests are also adjusted, to more closely replicate the actual behaviour of the various actual `IPDFStreamReader` implementations.
Finally, this patch adjusts the use of the Content-Disposition filename when setting the title in the viewer, and adds `PDFDocumentProperties` support as well.
These were removed in PR 9170, since they were unused in the browsers that we'll support in PDF.js version `2.0`.
However looking at the output of Travis, where a subset of the unit-tests are run using Node.js, there's warnings about `btoa` being undefined. This doesn't appear to cause any errors, which probably explains why we didn't notice this before (despite PR 9201).
Nothing uses this option anymore, so setting it is a no-op now. We can
safely remove it.
Use `SKIP_BABEL` (instead of `PDFJS_NEXT`) now if you want to skip Babel
translation for a build.
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.
Unfortunately, based on commit 9276d1dcd9, it seems that we still need to maintain compatibility with old Node.js versions, hence certain files/directories that are executed in Node.js are currently exempt from this rule.
Furthermore, since the files specific to the Chromium extension are not run through Babel, the `/extensions/chromium/` directory is also exempt from this rule.
There's still some work necessary if we want to be able to run (even a subset of) the API unit-tests on Travis.
However, this patch could be considered a small first step, since the relevant unit-tests will now rely on a `CanvasFactory` rather than using `document.createElement('canvas')` directly.
This patch gets rid of the only case in the code-base where we're throwing a plain `string`, rather than an `Error`, which besides better/more consistent error handling also allows us to enable the [`no-throw-literal`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-throw-literal) ESLint rule.
See http://eslint.org/docs/rules/brace-style.
Having the opening/closing braces on the same line can often make the code slightly more difficult to read, in particular for `if`/`else if` statements, compared to using new lines.
This patch also, for consistency with `mozilla-central`, enables the [`no-iterator`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-iterator) rule. Note that this rule didn't require a single code change.
This patch also removes the `UpdatePassword` message, in favour of using the `sendWithPromise` method of `MessageHandler`.
Furthermore, the patch also refactors the `BasePdfManager_updatePassword`/`BasePdfManager_passwordChanged` methods (in pdf_manager.js), and the `pdfManagerReady` function (in worker.js).
I just realized that none of our current unit-tests cover this particular part of the Page Label parsing code, hence this patch adjusts an existing test PDF to include a "St" entry in the Page Label dictionary.
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.
In general we neither want, nor can, support arbitrary `Launch` actions. But in practice, all the cases we've seen so far just contains relative URLs to other PDF files. Building on PR 7689, we can thus at least support basic `Launch` actions.
Note that in `FIREFOX/MOZCENTRAL/CHROME` builds of the standard viewer the `docBaseUrl` parameter will be set by default, since in that case it makes sense to use the current URL as a base.
For the `GENERIC` viewer, or the API itself, it doesn't make sense to try and set the `docBaseUrl` by default. However, custom deployments/implementations may still find the parameter useful.
Note that this will automatically reject any relative URL.
To make the API more useful to consumers, URLs that are rejected will be available via the `unsafeUrl` property in the data object returned by `PDFPageProxy_getAnnotations`.
The patch also adds a bit more validation of the data for `Named` actions.
This not only reduces code duplication, but it also allow us to easily support the same kind of URLs we currently do for Link annotations in the Outline as well.
In the case where the document was destroyed, we were rejecting the `Promise` in `JpegDecode` with a string instead of an `Error`. The patch also brings the wording more inline with other such rejections.
Use the `isInt` utility function when validating the `pageNumber` parameter in `WorkerTransport_getPage`, to make it more obvious what's actually happening. There's also a couple more unit-tests added, to ensure that we always fail in the expected way.
Finally, we can simplify the rejection handling in `WorkerTransport_getPageIndexByRef` somewhat. (Note that the only reason for using `catch` here is that since the promise is rejected on the worker side, the `reason` becomes a string instead of an `Error` which is why we "re-reject" on the display side.)
From the discussion in issue 7445, it seems that there may be cases where an API consumer would want to get the text content as is, without combined text items.
Currently the `getPageIndex` method will happily return `0`, even if the `Ref` parameter doesn't actually point to a proper /Page dictionary.
Having the API trust that the consumer is doing the right thing seems error-prone, hence this patch which adds a check for this case.
Given that the `Catalog_getPageIndex` method isn't used in any hot part of the codebase, this extra check shouldn't be a problem.
(Note: in the standard viewer, it is only ever used from `PDFLinkService_navigateTo` if a destination needs to be resolved during document loading, which isn't common enough to be an issue IMHO.)
These have been found using `gulp lint` in combination with the `unused:
true` parameter for JSHint. Unfortunately there are too many false
positives to enable this feature, but now that most globals have been
removed because of the conversion to UMD the results are much more
useful than before.
In the API unit-tests, we're currently loading the `basicapi.pdf` before every sub-test in `PDFDocument` and `Page`, which slows down the unit-tests quite a bit.
Locally this patch reduces the run time for `gulp unittest` by at least 40% for me.
Currently the `C` entry in an outline item is returned as is, which is neither particularly useful nor what the API documentation claims.
This patch also adds unit-tests for both the color handling, and the `F` entry (bold/italic flags).
