* Move display/xml_parser.js in shared to use it in worker
* Save form data in XFA datasets when pdf is a mix of acroforms and xfa

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.
