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 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
- 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.
- All the scale factors in for the substitution font were wrong because of different glyph positions between Liberation and the other ones:
- regenerate all the factors
- Text may have polish chars for example and in this case the glyph widths were wrong:
- treat substitution font as a composite one
- add a map glyphIndex to unicode for Liberation in order to generate width array for cid font
- In order to better compute text fields size, use line height with no gaps (and consequently guessed height for text are slightly better in general).
- Fix default background color in fields.
- an Image element was created, attached to its parent but the $globalData property was not set and that led to an error.
- the pdf in bug 1722029 has 27 rendered rows (checked in Acrobat) when only one was displayed: this patch some binding issues around the occur element.
- in real life some xfa contains xml like <xfa:data><xfa:Foo><xfa:Bar>...</xfa:data>
since there are no Foo or Bar in the xfa namespace the JS representation are empty
and that leads to errors.
- so the idea is to make all nodes under xfa:data namespace agnostic which means
that ns are removed from nodes in the parser but only xfa:data descendants.
*Please note:* The PDF document in issue 13751 is *dynamically* created (in e.g. Adobe Reader), with pages added when certain buttons are clicked, hence this patch simply fixes the breaking error and nothing more.
It looks like the current code contains a little bit too much copy-and-paste from the *similar* `index` branch above, since we cannot set the `startIndex` to a negative value. Note how it's being used to initialize the loop-variable, which is then used to lookup values in an Array and accessing the `-1`th element of an Array obviously makes no sense.
*This is yet another case where I've got no idea if the patch is correct, but it does at least fix a breaking error :-)*
Note how in the [`Binder._bindValue` method](683ce66a48/src/core/xfa/bind.js (L92-L93)), we're assuming that if a `data`-value exists then it'll also be possible to actually access it. For the `XFAAttribute`-implementation however, the second method is missing and that's what causes the breaking errors in issue 13748.
Please note that another possible way of "fixing" the error wouldn't been to simply change the exists-check to return `false`, and I could see that being a preferred solution.
However, the reason for submitting the current patch is that we get *fewer* warnings about Nodes with mis-matched types this way.
As can be seen in the code (see below), the `searchNode` helper function will return `null` in some cases and all of its call-sites should protect against that before attempting to access the returned data.
While only one of these changes were necessary to fix the breaking errors in issue 13756, in order to prevent future bugs I've added similar defensive code throughout this file.
- 07955fa1d3/src/core/xfa/som.js (L169)
- 07955fa1d3/src/core/xfa/som.js (L239)
- 07955fa1d3/src/core/xfa/som.js (L254)
This way we ensure that these BBox values are *always* defined as expected for every `case`-block, and we also don't need to duplicate the lookup in multiple places. (Also, the patch removes a couple of unnecessary line-breaks in existing comments.)
Fixes https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/13691#pullrequestreview-702356627, which was flagged by LGTM.
