By making use of modern CSS features, in this case [CSS variables](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Using_CSS_variables), implementing sidebar resizing is actually quite simple. Not only will the amount of added code be fairly small, but it should also be easy to maintain since there's no need for complicated JavaScript hacks in order to update the CSS. Another benefit is that the JavaScript code doesn't need to make detailed assumptions about the exact structure of the HTML/CSS code.
Obviously this will not work in older browsers, such as IE, that lack support for CSS variables. In those cases sidebar resizing is simply disabled (via feature detection), and the resizing DOM element hidden, and the behaviour is thus *identical* to the current (fixed-width) sidebar.
However, considering the simplicity of the implementation, I really don't see why limiting this feature to "modern" browsers is a problem.
Finally, note that a few edge-cases meant that the patch is a bit larger than what the basic functionality would dictate. Among those is first of all proper RTL support, and secondly (automatic) resizing of the sidebar when the width of the *entire* viewer changes. Another, pre-existing, issue fixed here is the incomplete interface of `NullL10n`.
*Please note:* This patch has been successfully tested in both LTR and RTL viewer locales, in recent versions of Firefox and Chrome.
Fixes 2072.
If we want to (eventually) make it possible to resize the sidebar, then having its width indirectly affect the toolbar is going to wreck havoc on the media queries used to show/hide buttons in the main toolbar (since many of them depend on the toolbar state, and thus its width).
Updating all of the media queries dynamically with JavaScript seems like a non-starter, given that it'd cause *very* messy code. It thus seem to me that we'd need to fix the position of the sidebar, to have any hope of (in the short term) addressing issue 2072.
Hence, I'm suggesting that the we always layout the sidebar in a consistent vertical position, and only animate the `viewerContainer` rather than the entire `mainContainer`.
Fixes 4052.
Fixes bug 850591.
With the current way that the `HandTool` is implemented, if someone would try to also add a Zoom tool (as issue 1260 asks for) that probably wouldn't work very well given that you'd then have two cursor tools which may not play nice together.
Hence this patch, which attempts to refactor things so that it should be simpler to add e.g. a Zoom tool as well (given that that issue is marked as "good-beginner-bug", and I'm not sure if that really applies considering the current state of the code).
Note that I personally have no interest in implementing a Zoom tool (similar to Adobe Reader) since I wouldn't use it, but I figured that it can't hurt to make this code a bit more future proof.
I noticed that we have a `.toolbarButton.group` CSS class, which is currently applied to some buttons in the viewer. Since it attempts to adjust the `margin-right` property, I was initially a bit puzzled as to why there wasn't different rules for LTR/RTL locales.
However, checking the viewer with the DevTools inspector, in both LTR and RTL locales, I quickly found that the rule in question is *always* being overridden by other CSS rules.
It thus seem to me that while this rule was probably useful at some point, it has been dead for years and could now be removed.
The find functionality is currently not available for small devices
because the find dialog is not responsive. This patch fixes that.
To achieve this goal, the HTML is changed to always show the find
button. To prevent issues because of the addition of an extra button for
small views, the previous/next page buttons are hidden if the view
becomes small. These buttons are not useful anyway because on small
devices navigation is usually done via scrolling. The find functionality
is much more useful to have in this case. Moreover, we wrap the existing
elements into separate `div`s so that the browser can position the
elements itself when the view becomes smaller and logically connected
elements stay together when this happens.
In the CSS, extra rules for the find bar have been added to ensure that
the dialog's doorhanger is always below the find button. All findbar
`div`s are forced to be 32 pixels high to prevent the find message text
being aligned under the checkboxes. Finally, the find message is only
visible when there is actually text to display. This prevents wrapping
issues because, by default, the label has padding and margin even if
there is no text.
A longstanding issue with the viewer is that you cannot tell if a PDF document includes an outline and/or attachments without actually opening the sidebar.
This patch contains a suggested solution for that, by displaying an hide-on-interaction notification on the `sidebarToggle` button (and the relevant sidebar view buttons). Note that this was inspired by e.g. the update notification that is displayed on the menu button in Firefox.
For an initial implementation, I've tried to do this in such a way that the notification isn't too distracting. Without being an UX expert, I don't think that we'd want something too in-your-face, in order to keep the viewer toolbars reasonable clean. (We probably do *not* want e.g. an entire notification bar in these situations, since that would take up unnecessary screen space and require actions from the user to close.)
However it's certainly possible that the current notification might simply be *too* inconspicuous to be truly helpful to users, but we could probably iterate on that if the feature itself is deemed useful.
This patch resolves the responsiveness issues for the toolbar in the
viewer. Depending on the language (for example the Dutch language),
elements could overlap when the viewport size is reduced.
The main issue here is that the CSS rules are unnecessarily complex and
handle lots of different cases (LTR/RTL, displacements for specific
viewport widths, et cetera). By removing this complexity and letting the
browser handle the responsiveness, we not only get simpler CSS rules and
HTML mark-up, but the responsiveness issues are mostly fixed at the same
time. We no longer have to position the elements manually (by setting
their `left` attribute value) anymore.
The following reasoning was used for deciding to remove the "Page: " label, and replace it with a tooltip, from the main toolbar:
- We have no other visible labels in the *main* toolbar (e.g. the Zoom dropdown doesn't have a label, but only a tooltip).
- We already hide the "Page: " label when the viewer is narrow.
- The varying width of the "Page: " label in different locales is already causing issues for many languages, with overlap in the main toolbar as a result.
Trying to create responsive CSS styles that works well in all locales is already difficult, and if we add support for page labels that will only further compound the issues.
- Some PDF viewers (e.g. Adobe Reader, pdfium in Chrome) doesn't show labels in the UI by default.
This patch contains an alternative solution (see the referenced PRs in 4718), in order for the indeterminate loading bar to have a consistent speed regardless of width.
Fixes 4718.
Prior to PR 6242, the width of all outline items was set such that their right (or left, in RTL locales) edges lined up vertically. In my opinion that looked more consistent, therefore this patch adjusts the CSS to make sure that this will be the case again.
The patch also makes the `border-radius` values of outline items a bit more consistent.
It appears to me that the `expanded/collapsed` part of the names got switched around, since I'd expect the following convention:
- `v` == expanded
- `>` == collapsed
- This commit adds a '>' before every outline item that has subitems.
- Click on the '>' to collapse all subitems under that item (which turns
the '>' in a 'v').
- Shift + click expands/collapses all descendant items under that tree.
- Double-clicking on the "Show Document Outline" button in the toolbar
expands/collapses all outline items.
During A/B testing we found a significant preference (increased engagement
time, reduced downloads of original PDF for local viewing) for the version that
doesn't animate loading thumbnails.
Profiling shows that the transition effects hit at a pessimal time when the
compositor is busy rendering the main PDF page view, and rendering thumbnail
previews, causing the main scroll view to stutter. With the transition removed
scrolling is perceptibly smoother in Chrome and Firefox. We also hypothesize
that the transition effects added to a perception of slowness but presumably
the aforementioned stutter is the primary issue here.
Having recently spent some time staring at the PasswordPrompt, while fixing issue 6010, I felt that the current border style does not really give a good visual indication that the input field actually has focus.
The current appearance was first introduced in PR 3527; but I don't know if having a different border style in Overlay dialogs was intentional, or if it just "happened".
However, given the colour palette used in the viewer UI, I think that using the same border style for all .toolbarFields makes sense.
In Blink-based browsers, there is a mismatch between document size and
paper size. Even if exactly the same values and unit are used, it is
possible that the printed results takes more pages than expected.
To solve the issue, the page size is set via @page size, and the canvas
and ancestor nodes are assigned a width+height of 100% (=relative to the
page). This change resolves bugs such as blank pages and split pages.
Now that [bug 649849](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649849) has been fixed, adding support for `-moz-appearance: none`, the arrow is now too close to the text in the zoom box. This is currently only an issue in Nightly, but assuming the patch doesn't get backed out, this will soon affect all versions of Firefox.
The only simple solution I could find seems to be removing `*-appearance: none` rules from the CSS. I haven't been able to find any easier solutions that still looks the same with/without bug 649849.
When a search term isn't found, the background color of the findInput is supposed to change (to red). This is currently not working as intended, because the CSS rule is not being applied correctly. (It seems that this broke in PR 2208.)
This patch also changes the background color to match the one used in the native Firefox findbar, since the old color seemed a bit too pink.
After PR #5282, the text highlighting in the Font Inspector is very hard to see against a white background. That seems to be an oversight from the mentioned PR, hence this patch fixes that.
As a consequence of merging #5221 it is more likely to have multiple
overlapping selection divs inside the text layer. Because each individual
element gets the selection style applied, the 30%opacity stacks, making a
60% bar visible where the overlap happens.
As proposed by @rocallahan, this can be fixed by making the selection
style solid and setting opacity for the overall layer.
I assume also that this should make the work for the renderer easier, but
was unable to bench it.
Currently in RTL locales, the loading indicator is placed such that it is in the way when entring a search term. Hence this patch moves it to the other side of the input field to fix this.
transformOrigin is set to 0% 0% in all cases. This adds extra memory
impact into the dom tree. It also involves the CustomStyles workaround
to determine the correct css rule for the browser.
By setting all vendor and standard variants in css, the rule is applied
without the dom memory overhead and without the minor computation
overhead to set the value.
Added an "InteractiveAnnotation" class to homogenize the annotations' structure (highlighting) and user interactions (for now, used for text and link annotations).
Text annotations:
The appearance (AP) has priority over the icon (Name).
The popup extends horizontally (up to a limit) as well as vertically.
Reduced the title's font size.
The annotation's color (C) is used to color the popup's background.
On top of the mouseover show/hide behavior, a click on the icon will lock the annotation open (for mobile purposes). It can be closed with another click on either the icon or the popup.
An annotation printing is conditioned by its "print" bit
Unsupported annotations are not displayed at all.
The logic for the hand tool is implemented in a separate project,
maintained at https://github.com/Rob--W/grab-to-pan.js
Integration notes
- Added toggle as an entry under the Secondary toolbar
- Added shortcut "h" to toggle hand tool (to-do: document this in wiki
after merge). This shortcut is also used in Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
To-do: localizations for:
hand_tool_enable.title=
hand_tool_enable_label=
hand_tool_disable.title=
hand_tool_disable_label=
To-do (wish): persistence of hand tool preference, preferably a global setting.

Before this commit there were two main issues:
- In small windows, the zoom controls visually floated above the page number
(e.g. 733px).
- In small windows, the (transparent) zoom container covered the go-to-page
input box, which prevented one from using the input field to quickly navigate
to a different page.
