*This is done separately from the previous patch, to make it easier to revert these changes once they've been included in a couple of releases.*
Please note that because these two options are mutually exclusive, which is a large part of the reason for the previous patch, it's not guaranteed that the fallback-values will always be correct in every situation (but it's the best that we can do).
*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.
Moves the logic out of TextLayerBuilder to handle
highlighting matches into a new separate class `TextHighlighter`
that can be used with regular PDFs and XFA PDFs.
To mimic the current find functionality in XFA, two arrays
from the XFA rendering are created to get the text content
and map those to DOM nodes.
Fixes#13878
This way there cannot be any *incorrect* cache hits, since Refs are guaranteed to be unique.
Please note that the reason for caching by Ref rather than doing something along the lines of the `localShadingPatternCache` (which uses a `Map` directly), is that TilingPatterns are streams and those cannot be cached on the `XRef`-instance (this way we avoid unnecessary parsing).
*This patch is very similar to the recently fixed `renderInteractiveForms`-options, see PR 13867.*
As far as I can tell, this *subtle* bug has existed ever since `AnnotationStorage`-support was first added in PR 12106 (a little over a year ago).
The value of the `includeAnnotationStorage`-option, as passed to the `PDFPageProxy.render` method, will (potentially) affect the size/content of the operatorList that's returned from the worker (for documents with forms).
Given that operatorLists will generally, unless they contain huge images, be cached in the API, repeated `PDFPageProxy.render` calls where the form-data has been changed by the user in between, can thus *wrongly* return a cached operatorList.
In the viewer we're only using the `includeAnnotationStorage`-option when printing, which is probably why this has gone unnoticed for so long. Note that we, for performance reasons, don't cache printing-operatorLists in the API.
However, there's nothing stopping an API-user from using the `includeAnnotationStorage`-option during "normal" rendering, which could thus result in *subtle* (and difficult to understand) rendering bugs.
In order to handle this, we need to know if the `AnnotationStorage`-instance has been updated since the last `PDFPageProxy.render` call. The most "correct" solution would obviously be to create a hash of the `AnnotationStorage` contents, however that would require adding a bunch of code, complexity, and runtime overhead.
Given that operatorList caching in the API doesn't have to be perfect[1], but only have to avoid *false* cache-hits, we can simplify things significantly be only keeping track of the last time that the `AnnotationStorage`-data was modified.
*Please note:* While working on this patch, I also noticed that the `renderInteractiveForms`- and `includeAnnotationStorage`-options in the `PDFPageProxy.render` method are mutually exclusive.[2]
Given that the various Annotation-related options in `PDFPageProxy.render` have been added at different times, this has unfortunately led to the current "messy" situation.[3]
---
[1] Note how we're already not caching operatorLists for pages with *huge* images, in order to save memory, hence there's no guarantee that operatorLists will always be cached.
[2] Setting both to `true` will result in undefined behaviour, since trying to insert `AnnotationStorage`-values into fields that are being excluded from the operatorList-building will obviously not work, which isn't at all clear from the documentation.
[3] My intention is to try and fix this in a follow-up PR, and I've got a WIP patch locally, however it will result in a number of API-observable changes.
At this point in time, all of the supported browsers (in the PDF.js project) have native `ReadableStream` implementations; see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream#browser_compatibility
Hence the polyfill is *only* necessary in Node.js environments now, and we shouldn't need to do any detailed feature detection either (since that was only done for the non-Chromium versions of the MS Edge browser).
Finally, we can slightly reduce the size of the Chromium-extension since the polyfill shouldn't be needed there either.
By not adding any additional non-`Dict` entries to the list of candidates for merging of sub-dictionaries, we can very slightly reduce the amount of parsing required by not having to *again* iterate through unmergeable data.
Once we're finally able to get rid of SystemJS, which is unfortunately still blocked on [bug 1247687](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247687), we might also want to clean-up (or even completely remove) the `BaseException` abstraction and simply extend `Error` directly instead.
At that point we'd need to (explicitly) set the `name` on each class anyway, so this patch is essentially preparing for future clean-up. Furthermore, after the `BaseException` abstraction was added there's been *multiple* issues filed about third-party minification breaking our code since `this.constructor.name` is not guaranteed to always do what you intended.
While hard-coding the strings indeed feels quite unfortunate, it's likely the "best" solution to avoid the problem described above.
Rather than caching only the *last* `PDFPageProxy.getAnnotations` call, and having to handle the intent separately, we can instead implement the caching in exactly the same way as done in the `PDFPageProxy.{render, getOperatorList}` methods.
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.
The value of the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter, as passed to the `PDFPageProxy.render` method, will (potentially) affect the size/content of the operatorList that's returned from the worker (for documents with forms).
Given that operatorLists will generally, unless they contain huge images, be cached in the API, repeated `PDFPageProxy.render` calls that *only* change the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter can thus return an incorrect operatorList.
As far as I can tell, this *subtle* bug has existed ever since `renderInteractiveForms`-support was first added in PR 7633 (which is almost five years ago).
With the previous patch, fixing this is now really simple by "encoding" the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter in the *internal* renderingIntent handling.
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).
Given that the GitHub Advanced Security workflow now covers everything that LGTM does, but generally faster and with better GitHub-integration, there's no longer much point in also running LGTM separately.
As a follow-up to this patch, we should also disable/remove the LGTM-integration from the PDF.js repository.
While fixing issue 13794, I noticed that cancelling the `ReadableStream` returned by the `PDFPageProxy.streamTextContent`-method could lead to "Uncaught promise" messages in the console.[1]
Generally speaking, we don't really care about errors when *cancelling* a `ReadableStream` and it thus seems reasonable to simply suppress any output in those cases.
---
[1] Although, after that issue was fixed you'd now need to set the API-option `stopAtErrors = true` to actually trigger this.
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.
The PDF in bug 1721949 uses many unique pattern objects
that references the same shading many times. This caused
a new canvas pattern to be created and cached many times
driving up memory use.
To fix, I've changed the cache in the worker to key off the
shading object and instead send the shading and matrix
separately. While that worked well to fix the above bug,
there could be PDFs that use many shading that could
cause memory issues, so I've also added a LRU cache
on the main thread for canvas patterns. This should prevent
memory use from getting too high.
