The `src/shared/util.js` file is being bundled into both the `pdf.js` and `pdf.worker.js` files, meaning that its code is by definition duplicated.
Some main-thread only utility functions have already been moved to a separate `src/display/display_utils.js` file, and this patch simply extends that concept to utility functions which are used *only* on the worker-thread.
Note in particular the `getInheritableProperty` function, which expects a `Dict` as input and thus *cannot* possibly ever be used on the main-thread.
After PR 9340 all glyphs are now re-mapped to a Private Use Area (PUA) which means that if a font fails to load, for whatever reason[1], all glyphs in the font will now render as Unicode glyph outlines.
This obviously doesn't look good, to say the least, and might be seen as a "regression" since previously many glyphs were left in their original positions which provided a slightly better fallback[2].
Hence this patch, which implements a *general* fallback to the PDF.js built-in font renderer for fonts that fail to load (i.e. are rejected by the sanitizer). One caveat here is that this only works for the Font Loading API, since it's easy to handle errors in that case[3].
The solution implemented in this patch does *not* in any way delay the loading of valid fonts, which was the problem with my previous attempt at a solution, and will only require a bit of extra work/waiting for those fonts that actually fail to load.
*Please note:* This patch doesn't fix any of the underlying PDF.js font conversion bugs that's responsible for creating corrupt font files, however it does *improve* rendering in a number of cases; refer to this possibly incomplete list:
[Bug 1524888](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1524888)
Issue 10175
Issue 10232
---
[1] Usually because the PDF.js font conversion code wasn't able to parse the font file correctly.
[2] Glyphs fell back to some default font, which while not accurate was more useful than the current state.
[3] Furthermore I'm not sure how to implement this generally, assuming that's even possible, and don't really have time/interest to look into it either.
For PDF documents with sufficiently broken XRef tables, it's usually quite obvious when you need to fallback to indexing the entire file. However, for certain kinds of corrupted PDF documents the XRef table will, for all intents and purposes, appear to be valid. It's not until you actually try to fetch various objects that things will start to break, which is the case in the referenced issues[1].
Since there's generally a real effort being in made PDF.js to load even corrupt PDF documents, this patch contains a suggested approach to attempt to do a bit more validation of the XRef table during the initial document loading phase.
Here the choice is made to attempt to load the *first* page, as a basic sanity check of the validity of the XRef table. Please note that attempting to load a more-or-less arbitrarily chosen object without any context of what it's supposed to be isn't a very useful, which is why this particular choice was made.
Obviously, just because the first page can be loaded successfully that doesn't guarantee that the *entire* XRef table is valid, however if even the first page fails to load you can be reasonably sure that the document is *not* valid[2].
Even though this patch won't cause any significant increase in the amount of parsing required during initial loading of the document[3], it will require loading of more data upfront which thus delays the initial `getDocument` call.
Whether or not this is a problem depends very much on what you actually measure, please consider the following examples:
```javascript
console.time('first');
getDocument(...).promise.then((pdfDocument) => {
console.timeEnd('first');
});
console.time('second');
getDocument(...).promise.then((pdfDocument) => {
pdfDocument.getPage(1).then((pdfPage) => { // Note: the API uses `pageNumber >= 1`, the Worker uses `pageIndex >= 0`.
console.timeEnd('second');
});
});
```
The first case is pretty much guaranteed to show a small regression, however the second case won't be affected at all since the Worker caches the result of `getPage` calls. Again, please remember that the second case is what matters for the standard PDF.js use-case which is why I'm hoping that this patch is deemed acceptable.
---
[1] In issue 7496, the problem is that the document is edited without the XRef table being correctly updated.
In issue 10326, the generator was sorting the XRef table according to the offsets rather than the objects.
[2] The idea of checking the first page in particular came from the "standard" use-case for the PDF.js library, i.e. the default viewer, where a failure to load the first page basically means that nothing will work; note how `{BaseViewer, PDFThumbnailViewer}.setDocument` depends completely on being able to fetch the *first* page.
[3] The only extra parsing is caused by, potentially, having to traverse *part* of the `Pages` tree to find the first page.
Note that the OpenAction dictionary may contain other information besides just a destination array, e.g. instructions for auto-printing[1].
Given first of all that an arbitrary `Dict` cannot be sent from the Worker (since cloning would fail), and second of all that the data obviously needs to be validated, this patch purposely only adds support for fetching a destination from the OpenAction entry[2].
---
[1] This information is, currently in PDF.js, being included through the `getJavaScript` API method.
[2] This significantly reduces the complexity of the implementation, which seems fine for now. If there's ever need for other kinds of OpenAction to be fetched, additional API methods could/should be implemented as necessary (could e.g. follow the `getOpenActionWhatever` naming scheme).
These interfaces are already used in different files, in both the `src/core/` and `src/display/` folders, and having them reside in their own file seems a lot clearer and is also similar to the existing viewer interfaces.
As part of moving the `interface` definitions, they're also converted to ES6 classes.
This commit is the first step towards implementing parsing for the
appearance streams of annotations.

Since the tests (currently) run with the `pdf.worker.js` file built, i.e. with `PRODUCTION = true` set, there's no simple way to add e.g. `assert` calls for both non-production *and* test-only builds without also affecting PRODUCTION builds.
Since the old comment mentions a now unsupported browser, let's update it such that someone won't accidentally conclude that the code in question can be removed.
Since `PDFPageProxy` already provide getters for all the data returned by `GetPage` (in the Worker), there isn't any compelling reason for accessing the `pageInfo` directly on `PDFPageProxy`.
The patch also changes the `GetPage` handler, in `src/core/worker.js`, to use modern JavaScript features.
After PR 8617 the `PDFManagerReady` message handler function, in `src/display/api.js`, is now a no-op. Hence it seems completely unnecessary to keep sending this message from `src/core/worker.js`.
With native typed array support now being mandatory in PDF.js, since version 2.0, this probably isn't a huge problem even though the current code seems wrong (it was changed in PR 6571).
Note how in the `!(data instanceof Uint8Array)` case we're currently attempting to send `handler.send('test', 'main', false);` to the main-thread, which doesn't really make any sense since the signature of the method reads `send(actionName, data, transfers) {`.
Hence the data that's *actually* being sent here is `'main'`, with `false` as the transferList, which just seems weird. On the main-thread, this means that we're in this case checking `data && data.supportTypedArray`, where `data` contains the string `'main'` rather than being falsy. Since a string doesn't have a `supportTypedArray` property, that check still fails as expected but it doesn't seem great nonetheless.
The `MessageHandler` itself, and its assorted helper functions, are currently the single largest[1] piece of code in the `src/shared/util.js` file. By moving this code into its own file, `src/shared/util.js` thus becomes smaller and more manageable.
Please note that while the current code works, both in the viewer and the unit-tests, it can leave the `WorkerTransport._passwordCapability` Promise in a pending state.
In the `PasswordRequest` handler, in src/display/api.js, we're returning the Promise from a `capability` object (rather than just a "plain" Promise). While an error thrown anywhere within this handler was fortunately enough to propagate it to the Worker side, it won't cause the Promise (in `WorkerTransport._passwordCapability`) to actually be rejected.
Finally note that while we're now catching errors in the `PasswordRequest` handler, those errors are still propagated to the Worker side via the (now) rejected Promise and the existing `return this._passwordCapability.promise;` line.
This prevents warnings about uncaught Promises, with messages such as "Error: Worker was destroyed during onPassword callback", when running the unit-tests both in browsers *and* in Node.js/Travis.
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).
I recall being confused as to the purpose of the `encrypted` property all the way back when working on PR 4750.
Looking at the history, this property was added in PR 1698 when password support was added to the API/viewer. However, its only purpose seem to have been to facilitate the addition of a `isEncrypted` function in the API. That function never, as far as I can tell, saw any use and was unceremoniously removed in PR 4144.
Since we want to avoid sending all non-essential data early during initial document loading (e.g. PR 4750), it seems correct to get rid of the `encrypted` property. Especially since it hasn't even been exposed in the API for over three years, with no complaints that I'm aware of.
Finally note that the `encrypt` property on the `XRef` instance isn't tied to the code that's being removed here. Given that we're calling `PDFDocument.parse` during `createDocumentHandler` in the worker which, via `PDFDocument.setup`, calls `XRef.parse` where the `Encrypt` data (if it exists) is always parsed.
I don't have a good example at hand right know, but I recall seeing custom deployments of PDF.js that bundle a *specific* version of the `build/pdf.js` file and then set `PDFJS.workerSrc` to point to https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/build/pdf.worker.js.
That practice seems really bad since, besides (obviously) causing unnecessary server load, it will very quickly result in a version mismatch between the `pdf.js` and `pdf.worker.js` files in those PDF.js deployments.
Such a version mismatch could easily lead to either breaking errors, or even worse slightly inconsistent behaviour for an API call (if the API -> Worker interface changes, which does happen from time to time).
To avoid the problems described above, I'm thus proposing that we enforce that the versions of the `pdf.js` and `pdf.worker.js` files must always match.
Currently `PDFFunction` is implemented (basically) like a class with only `static` methods. Since it's used directly in a number of different `src/core/` files, attempting to pass in `isEvalSupported` would result in code that's *very* messy, not to mention difficult to maintain (since *every* single `PDFFunction` method call would need to include a `isEvalSupported` argument).
Rather than having to wait for a possible re-factoring of `PDFFunction` that would avoid the above problems by design, it probably makes sense to at least set `isEvalSupported` globally for `PDFFunction`.
Please note that there's one caveat with this solution: If `PDFJS.getDocument` is used to open multiple files simultaneously, with *different* `PDFJS.isEvalSupported` values set before each call, then the last one will always win.
However, that seems like enough of an edge-case that we shouldn't have to worry about it. Besides, since we'll also test that `eval` is actually supported, it should be fine.
Fixes 5573.
This replaces `assert` calls with `throw new FormatError()`/`throw new Error()`.
In a few places, throwing an `Error` (which is what `assert` meant) isn't correct since the enclosing function is supposed to return a `Promise`, hence some cases were changed to `Promise.reject(...)` and similarily for `createPromiseCapability` instances.
All other code-paths already checks that the `MessageHandler` isn't terminated, but apparently `onFailure` was missing that check (compare e.g. with the `onSuccess` function).
From what I can tell, this is only an issue if workers are *disabled*, hence why I didn't bother adding a unit-test.
Fixes 8584.
This patch adds Streams API support in getTextContent
so that we can stream data in chunks instead of fetching
whole data from worker thread to main thread. This patch
supports Streams API without changing the core functionality
of getTextContent.
Enqueue textContent directly at getTextContent in partialEvaluator.
Adds desiredSize and ready property in streamSink.
Please note that the `glyphlist.js` and `unicode.js` files are converted to CommonJS modules instead, since Babel cannot handle files that large and they are thus excluded from transpilation.
Currently these methods accept a large number of parameters, which creates quite unwieldy call-sites. When invoking them, you have to remember not only what arguments to supply, but also the correct order, to avoid runtime errors.
Furthermore, since some of the parameters are optional, you also have to remember to pass e.g. `null` or `undefined` for those ones.
Also, adding new parameters to these methods (which happens occasionally), often becomes unnecessarily tedious (based on personal experience).
Please note that I do *not* think that we need/should convert *every* single method in `evaluator.js` (or elsewhere in `/core` files) to take parameter objects. However, in my opinion, once a method starts relying on approximately five parameter (or even more), passing them in individually becomes quite cumbersome.
With these changes, I obviously needed to update the `evaluator_spec.js` unit-tests. The main change there, except the new method signatures[1], is that it's now re-using *one* `PartialEvalutor` instance, since I couldn't see any compelling reason for creating a new one in every single test.
*Note:* If this patch is accepted, my intention is to (time permitting) see if it makes sense to convert additional methods in `evaluator.js` (and other `/core` files) in a similar fashion, but I figured that it'd be a good idea to limit the initial scope somewhat.
---
[1] A fun fact here, note how the `PartialEvaluator` signature used in `evaluator_spec.js` wasn't even correct in the current `master`.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/object-shorthand.
For the most part, these changes are of the search-and-replace kind, and the previously enabled `no-undef` rule should complement the tests in helping ensure that no stupid errors crept into to the patch.
Other PDF readers, e.g. Adobe Reader and PDFium (in Chrome), will attempt to render as much of a page as possible even if there are errors present.
Currently we just bail as soon the first error is hit, which means that we'll usually not render anything in these cases and just display a blank page instead.
NOTE: This patch changes the default behaviour of the PDF.js API to always attempt to recover as much data as possible, even when encountering errors during e.g. `getOperatorList`/`getTextContent`, which thus improve our handling of corrupt PDF files and allow the default viewer to handle errors slightly more gracefully.
In the event that an API consumer wishes to use the old behaviour, where we stop parsing as soon as an error is encountered, the `stopAtErrors` parameter can be set at `getDocument`.
Fixes, inasmuch it's possible since the PDF files are corrupt, e.g. issue 6342, issue 3795, and [bug 1130815](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1130815) (and probably others too).
*My apologies for inadvertently breaking this in PR 8064; apparently we don't have any tests that cover this use-case :(*
Without this patch `getTextContent` will fail if called before `getOperatorList`, since loading of fonts during text-extraction may require fetching of built-in CMap files.
*Please note:* The `text` test added here, which uses an already existing PDF file, fails without this patch.
[api-minor] Refactor fetching of built-in CMaps to utilize a factory on the `display` side instead, to allow users of the API to provide a custom CMap loading factory (e.g. for use with Node.js)
Currently the built-in CMap files are loaded in `src/core/cmap.js` using `XMLHttpRequest` directly. For some environments that might be a problem, hence this patch refactors that to instead use a factory to load built-in CMaps on the main thread and message the data to the worker thread.
This is inspired by other recent work, e.g. the addition of the `CanvasFactory`, and to a large extent on the IRC discussion starting at http://logs.glob.uno/?c=mozilla%23pdfjs&s=12+Oct+2016&e=12+Oct+2016#c53010.
Note that I initially tried to add this as a parameter to the `PDFPageProxy.render` method, such that it could be passed to `PartialEvaluator.getOperatorList`.
However, given all the different code-paths that call `getOperatorList` (there's a bunch only in `annotation.js`), this seemed to very quickly become unwieldy and thus difficult to maintain compared to simply using the existing `evaluatorOptions`.
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.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-unused-vars; note that this patch purposely uses the same rule options as in `mozilla-central`, such that it fixes part of issue 7957.
It wasn't, in my opinion, entirely straightforward to enable this rule compared to the already existing rules. In many cases a `var descriptiveName = ...` format was used (more or less) to document the code, and I choose to place the old variable name in a trailing comment to not lose that information.
I welcome feedback on these changes, since it wasn't always entirely easy to know what changes made the most sense in every situation.
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).
*Please note that most of the necessary code adjustments were made in PR 7890.*
ESLint has a number of advantageous properties, compared to JSHint. Among those are:
- The ability to find subtle bugs, thanks to more rules (e.g. PR 7881).
- Much more customizable in general, and many rules allow fine-tuned behaviour rather than the just the on/off rules in JSHint.
- Many more rules that can help developers avoid bugs, and a lot of rules that can be used to enforce a consistent coding style. The latter should be particularily useful for new contributors (and reduce the amount of stylistic review comments necessary).
- The ability to easily specify exactly what rules to use/not to use, as opposed to JSHint which has a default set. *Note:* in future JSHint version some of the rules we depend on will be removed, according to warnings in http://jshint.com/docs/options/, so we wouldn't be able to update without losing lint coverage.
- More easily disable one, or more, rules temporarily. In JSHint this requires using a numeric code, which isn't very user friendly, whereas in ESLint the rule name is simply used instead.
By default there's no rules enabled in ESLint, but there are some default rule sets available. However, to prevent linting failures if we update ESLint in the future, it seemed easier to just explicitly specify what rules we want.
Obviously this makes the ESLint config file somewhat bigger than the old JSHint config file, but given how rarely that one has been updated over the years I don't think that matters too much.
I've tried, to the best of my ability, to ensure that we enable the same rules for ESLint that we had for JSHint. Furthermore, I've also enabled a number of rules that seemed to make sense, both to catch possible errors *and* various style guide violations.
Despite the ESLint README claiming that it's slower that JSHint, https://github.com/eslint/eslint#how-does-eslint-performance-compare-to-jshint, locally this patch actually reduces the runtime for `gulp` lint (by approximately 20-25%).
A couple of stylistic rules that would have been nice to enable, but where our code currently differs to much to make it feasible:
- `comma-dangle`, controls trailing commas in Objects and Arrays (among others).
- `object-curly-spacing`, controls spacing inside of Objects.
- `spaced-comment`, used to enforce spaces after `//` and `/*. (This is made difficult by the fact that there's still some usage of the old preprocessor left.)
Rules that I indend to look into possibly enabling in follow-ups, if it seems to make sense: `no-else-return`, `no-lonely-if`, `brace-style` with the `allowSingleLine` parameter removed.

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.
