These functions invoke the `PDFViewer.currentPageNumber` setter, which already checks that a `pdfDocument` is currently active. Also, given that they're event handlers for the First/Last-page buttons (in the SecondaryToolbar) they can't be invoked before the viewer has been fully initalized.
The reasons for making this change are:
- There's no UI available to toggle the cursor-tools in the GeckoView-specific viewer.
- The `HandTool`-implementation basically *simulates* touch scrolling, and is thus unlikely to be helpful/useful anyway.
- PR 15831 already changed the relevant call-sites to handle `PDFViewerApplication.pdfCursorTools` being undefined.
Some of the code in this method is *very* old, and we could thus modernize it a little bit by removing a couple of the loops used to build the `getDocument` argument.
The only parameter that we actually need here is the `PDFDataRangeTransport`-instance, since the others are not necessary.
- The `url` parameter, as passed to the `getDocument` function in the API, is simply being ignored; see 2d87a2eb1c/src/display/api.js (L447-L458)
- The `length` parameter, as passed to the `getDocument` function in the API, is always being overwritten; see 2d87a2eb1c/src/display/api.js (L519-L525)
Until PR 12563 is deemed safe to land, I'd still like to be able to use worker-modules in the viewer during local development.
Hence this patch which *temporarily* adds a new `workerModules` hash-parameter, only available in non-PRODUCTION mode, that allows using worker-modules in the development viewer.
To enable this functionality, simply use http://localhost:8888/web/viewer.html#workerModules=true
If this method was added today, I really can't imagine that we'd support anything *except* objects. Unfortunately we cannot just remove this now, since the code has existed since "forever", however we can deprecate this and limit it to only the GENERIC build.
Furthermore, we can avoid a redundant `PDFViewerApplication.setTitleUsingUrl` call in the Firefox PDF Viewer since the title has already been set previously in that case.
It seems nicer overall, since we're exporting the `ProgressBar` in the viewer-components, to move this functionality into the `ProgressBar`-class itself rather than handling it "manually" in the default-viewer.
- Scale factor is rounded to only scale by integer percent, hence the unused
ticks are accumulated (like we already do for zoom with the mouse wheel).
- Use the same thing for the pinch-to-zoom on a touchscreen: it led to slightly
refactor the code because it happened to ignore a not so small scale which
led to a not so smooth zooming.
In GeckoView, on an event, a callback must be executed with the result of an action,
but the callback can be used only one time.
So for each FindInPage event, we must trigger only one matches count update.
This tweaks a few name that originated in PR 15812, to improve overall consistency:
- Use the `drawingDelay` parameter-name in all methods that accept a delay.
- Use the `postponeDrawing` variable-name in all relevant methods.
*This makes the same kind of changes as in the previous patch, but for the pageNumber-loadingIcon in the main toolbar.*
To display the pageNumber-loadingIcon when rendering starts, if the page is the most visible one, we'll utilize the existing "pagerender" event.
To toggle the pageNumber-loadingIcon as the user moves through the document we'll now instead utilize the "pagechanging" event, which should actually be slightly more efficient overall[1]. Note how we'd, in the old code, only consider the most visible page anyway when toggling the pageNumber-loadingIcon.
---
[1] Even in a PDF document as relatively short/simple as `tracemonkey.pdf`, scrolling through the entire document can easily trigger the "updateviewarea" event more than a thousand times.
Right now, the visible pages are redrawn for each scale change.
Consequently, zooming with mouse wheel or in pinching can be pretty janky
(even on a desktop machine but with a hdpi screen).
So the main idea in this patch is to draw the visible pages only once zooming
is finished.
The container position and dimensions should be almost constant, hence
it's pretty useless to query them on each rescale.
Finally it avoids to trigger some reflows.
First of all, given the screen-sizes of most mobile phones using Spread modes is unlikely to be useful.
Secondly, and more importantly, since there's (currently) no UI available for the user to override a PDF document-specified Spread mode this would result in a bad UX otherwise.
Also, removes an outdated comment from the `apiPageLayoutToViewerModes` helper function.
The idea is just to resuse what we got on the first draw.
Now, we only update the scaleX of the different spans and the other values
are dependant of --scale-factor.
Move some properties in the CSS in order to avoid any updates in JS.
This patch has been successfully tested in a local, artifact, Firefox build.
*Please note:* The only thing that'll no longer work for PDF documents opened using "data:"-URLs is middle-clicking on internal/outline links, in order to open the destination in a new tab. This is however an extremely small loss of functionality, and as can be seen in the bug the alternative (i.e. doing nothing) is surely much worse.
Add a deprecation notification for PDFDocumentLoadingTask.onUnsupportedFeature and PDFDocumentProxy.stats
which are likely useless.
The unsupported feature stuff have initially been added in (#4048) in order to be able to display a
warning bar and to help to have some numbers to know how a feature was used.
Those data are no more used in Firefox.
While it can't hurt to localize the main error-messages, also localizing the error *details* has always seemed somewhat unnecessary since those are only intended for debugging/development purposes. However, I can understand why that's done since the GENERIC viewer used to expose this information in the UI; via the `errorWrapper` UI that's removed in PR 15533.
At this point, when any errors are simply logged in the console, it no longer seems necessary to keep localizing the error *details* in the default viewer.
*Please note:* The referenced issue is the only mention that I can find, in either GitHub or Bugzilla, of "GoToE" actions.
Hence why I've purposely settled for a very simple, and partial, "GoToE" implementation to avoid complicating things initially.[1] In particular, this patch only supports "GoToE" actions that references the /EmbeddedFiles-dict in the PDF document.
See https://web.archive.org/web/20220309040754if_/https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#G11.2048909

[1] Usually I always prefer having *real-world* test-cases to work with, whenever I'm implementing new features.
In the Firefox PDF Viewer this has never been used, with the error message simply printed in the web-console, and (somewhat) recently we've also updated the viewer code to avoid bundling the relevant code there. Furthermore, in the Firefox PDF Viewer we're not even display the *browser* fallback bar any more; see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1705327.
Hence it seems slightly strange to keep this UI around in the GENERIC viewer, and this patch proposes that we simply remove it to simplify/unify the relevant code in the viewer. In particular this also allows us to remove a couple of l10n-strings, which have always been unused in the Firefox PDF Viewer.
By force-quitting the browser while the FullScreen API is active, we don't get a chance to exit PresentationMode *cleanly* and some of its state thus remains (via the `ViewHistory`).
To try and improve things here we can skip updating the Scroll/Spread-mode while PresentationMode is active, since they will be changed when entering PresentationMode, which seems to help and is really the best that we can do here (and what the issue describes is very much an edge-case anyway).
There's no point in having this variable defined (implicitly) as `undefined` in e.g. the Firefox PDF Viewer.
By defining it with `var` and using an ESLint ignore, rather than `let`, we can move it into the relevant pre-processor block instead. Note that since the entire viewer-code is placed, by Webpack, in a top-level closure this variable will thus not become globally accessible.
This is a slightly speculative change, based on something that I happened to notice while browsing MDN, to hopefully prevent PDF.js from outright breaking in older browsers.
According to the following information on MDN, Safari didn't implement support for the necessary features until version 14:
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaQueryList#browser_compatibility
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaQueryList/change_event#browser_compatibility
Given the browsers that we currently support only older versions of Safari should be affected, hence it seems reasonable to simply disable the functionality rather than trying to polyfill it.
(It's interesting how it's very often Safari which is *much* slower than the other browsers at implementing new features.)
Note that this patch prepends the document title with "* ", rather than only "*" as suggested in the bug, since there's nothing that says that a PDF document cannot specify a title[1] beginning with an asterisk. To reduce possible confusion, having a space between the "editing marker" and the actual document title thus cannot hurt as far as I'm concerned.
In order to notify the viewer when all `AnnotationEditor`s have been removed, we utilize the existing `onAnnotationEditor`-callback to allow the document title to be updated as necessary.
Finally, this patch makes the following (slightly unrelated) changes:
- Rename the `AnnotationStorage.removeKey` method to just `AnnotationStorage.remove` instead. This is consistent with e.g. the `has`-method and should suffice to explain what it does.
- Remove the `AnnotationStorage.hasAnnotationEditors` getter, since the viewer now tracks the necessary state internally. This avoids unnecessarily having to iterate through the `AnnotationStorage`-instance when saving/printing the document.
---
[1] Using either an /Info dictionary or a /Metadata stream.
Given that the SVG back-end is not defined anywhere except in GENERIC builds, we can remove a little bit more unnecessary code in e.g. the Firefox PDF Viewer.
- this way the context menu in Firefox can take into account what we
have in the clipboard, if an editor is selected, ...
- when the user will click on a context menu item, an action will be
triggered, hence this patch adds what is required to handle it;
- some tests will be added in the Firefox' patch.
- Simplify how we look-up the DOM-element, which should also be a tiny bit more efficent.
- Use private class-fields, rather than property-names prefixed with underscores.
- Inline the `#updateBar` helper-method directly in the `percent`-setter, since having a separate method doesn't seem necessary in this case.
- Set the `indeterminate`-class on the ProgressBar DOM-element, to simplify the code.
Finally, also (slightly) re-factors the `PDFViewerApplication.progress`-method to make it a bit smaller.
This replaces the boolean `annotationEditorEnabled` option/preference with a "proper" `annotationEditorMode` one. This way it's not only possible for the user to control if Editing is enabled/disabled, but also which *specific* Editing-mode should become enabled upon PDF document load.
Given that Editing is not enabled/released yet, I cannot imagine that changing the name and type of the option/preference should be an issue.
Given that printing is triggered *synchronously* in browsers, it's thus possible for scripting (in PDF documents) to modify the Annotation-data while printing is currently ongoing.
To work-around that we add a new printing-specific `AnnotationStorage`, where the serializable data is *frozen* upon initialization, which the viewer can thus create/utilize during printing.
For encrypted PDF documents without the required permissions set, this patch adds support for disabling of Annotation-editing. However, please note that it also requires that the `pdfjs.enablePermissions` preference is set to `true` (since PDF document permissions could be seen as user hostile).[1]
As I started looking at the issue, it soon became clear that *only* trying to fix the issue without slightly re-factor the surrounding code would be somewhat difficult.
The following is an overview of the changes in this patch; sorry about the size/scope of this!
- Use a new `AnnotationEditorUIManager`-instance *for each* PDF document opened in the GENERIC viewer, to prevent user-added Annotations from "leaking" from one document into the next.
- Re-factor the `BaseViewer.#initializePermissions`-method, to simplify handling of temporarily disabled modes (e.g. for both Annotation-rendering and Annotation-editing).
- When editing is enabled, let the Editor-buttons be `disabled` until the document has loaded. This way we avoid the buttons becoming clickable temporarily, for PDF documents that use permissions.
- Slightly re-factor how the Editor-buttons are shown/hidden in the viewer, and reset the toolbar-state when a new PDF document is opened.
- Flip the order of the Editor-buttons and the pre-exising toolbarButtons in the "toolbarViewerRight"-div. (To help reduce the size, a little bit, for the PR that adds new Editor-toolbars.)
- Enable editing by default in the development viewer, i.e. `gulp server`, since having to (repeatedly) do that manually becomes annoying after a while.
- Finally, support disabling of editing when `pdfjs.enablePermissions` is set; fixes issue 15049.
---
[1] Either manually with `about:config`, or using e.g. a [Group Policy](https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates).
Given that the SVG back-end is not defined anywhere except in GENERIC builds, we can remove a little bit of unnecessary code in e.g. the Firefox PDF Viewer.
- Approximate the drawn curve by a set of Bezier curves in using
js code from https://github.com/soswow/fit-curves.
The code has been slightly modified in order to make the linter
happy.
Given the differences between XFA documents and "normal" PDF documents, we don't support editing of the former ones. Hence, when a XFA-document is opened, we temporarily disable the editor-buttons.
Currently, when range-requests and/or streaming are not supported or for documents opened from `data`-URLs, we'll manually set the `contentDispositionFilename` (assuming it exists and is valid) from the `onOpenWithData`-callback in `PDFViewerApplication.initPassiveLoading`.
However, because of a small oversight in `PDFViewerApplication._initializeMetadata`, this *cached* `contentDispositionFilename` would be ignored and we'd only attempt to use the one returned by `PDFDocumentProxy.getMetadata` in the API (which in the cases outlined above will always be empty).
Also, to ensure that the document properties dialog always displays the *correct* fileName we'll now lookup it using the same exact method as in the viewer itself (via a new callback-function).
With the exception of `isThumbnailViewVisible`, these getters are completely unused. Generally speaking, using the `visibleView`-getter directly works just as well and seems (at least to me) to be overall preferable considering how our classes are usually implemented.
Currently, when non-standard `pageColors` are specified, the thumbnails will look inconsistent depending on how they're created.
The thumbnails that are created by downsizing the *page* canvases will obviously use the `pageColors` as intended, however the thumbnails which are rendered *directly* will always use the default colors.
After the changes in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1757771, that simplified the MOZCENTRAL downloading code, the `sourceEventType` is now completely unused and should thus be removed (in my opinion).
Furthermore, with these changes, we also no longer need a *separate* internal "save"-event and can instead just use the older "download"-event everywhere.
Given that the new API-option is an Object named `pageColors`, with `background`/`foreground` keys, it occurred to me that it'd be slightly more consistent if the options/preferences names fully reflected that.
These methods are completely unused in the Firefox PDF Viewer, and were only added to supplement the `PDFViewerApplication.{bindEvents, bindWindowEvents}`-methods since third-party implementations may apparently need to remove event listeners (see PR 8525).
However, in the MOZCENTRAL build that's just dead code and this patch reduces the size of the *built* `web/viewer.js`-file by `~3.5` kB.
This new CSS variable will allow us to simplify a couple of different viewer components, since we no longer need to use JavaScript-based hacks and can directly set the CSS rules instead. In particular:
- The `BaseViewer`-handling, used as part of the code that will center pages *vertically* in PresentationMode, can be simplified.
By using CSS to control the height of the "dummy"-page we avoid unnecessarily invalidating the scale-value, which can reduce *some* unneeded re-rendering while PresentationMode is active.
- The `SecondaryToolbar.#setMaxHeight`-method, and its associated parameters, are no longer necessary and can be completely removed.
Note that in order for things to work correctly in general, the new `--viewer-container-height` CSS variable must potentially be updated on any window-based "resize"-event (even when there's no zooming). While this is currently only done in the default viewer, that shouldn't be an issue since neither PresentationMode nor Toolbar-functionality is included in the "viewer components".
- Use Canvas & CanvasText color when they don't have their default value
as background and foreground colors.
- The colors used to draw (stroke/fill) in a pdf are replaced by the bg/fg
ones according to their luminance.
There's no point in having these variables defined (implicitly) as `undefined` in e.g. the Firefox PDF Viewer.
By defining them with `var` and using ESList ignores, rather than `let`, we can move them into the relevant pre-processor block instead. Note that since the entire viewer-code is placed, by Webpack, in a top-level closure these variables will thus *not* become globally accessible.
Given that `webViewerOpenFileViaURL` only has a single call-site, and also isn't a particularly large/complex function, it doesn't seem necessary for this to be a separate function and hence it's simply inlined instead.
Also, changes the "no valid build-target was set"-case to throw unconditionally since the only way that it could ever be hit is if there are bugs in the `gulpfile`-code.
Note how both of the openFile-buttons are always hidden during viewer initialization in the MOZCENTRAL build, i.e. the *built-in* Firefox PDF Viewer. Despite that we still include HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code for these buttons in the build.
This patch *reduces* the size of the `gulp mozcentral` output by `1679` bytes, which isn't a lot but still cannot hurt.
Given that none of these CSS rules are used at all, unless debugging is enabled, it seems completely unnecessary to load them *unconditionally* for all users.[1]
Note that if *both* the `textLayer` and `pdfBug` debugging hash-parameters are specified simultaneously, we'll now load the `PDFBug`-file *twice* (since the code is simpler that way). However, given first of all that none of this is enabled by default and secondly that using those parameters together isn't helpful[2], potentially loading that file twice is hopefully not an issue.
For the `gulp mozcentral` target, the size of the *built* `viewer.css` file is reduced `> 3%` with this patch.
---
[1] For the Firefox built-in PDF Viewer, in order to even be able to access the `PDFBug` functionality, you need to first of all set `pdfjs.pdfBugEnabled = true` manually in `about:config`. Secondly, you then also need to append the `pdfBug=...` hash-parameter to the URL when *initially* loading the document.
[2] Note how the `textLayer`-settings are already, since essentially forever, overriding the highlighting-features of the "FontInspector"-tab.
*This is yet another installment in a never-ending series of patches that attempt to simplify and improve old code.*
The `fileInput`-element is used to support the "Open file"-button in the `GENERIC` viewer, however this is very old code.
Rather than creating the element dynamically in JavaScript, we can simply define it conditionally in the HTML code thanks to the pre-processor. Furthermore, the `fileInput`-element currently has a number of unnecessary CSS rules, since the element is *purposely* never made visibly.
Note that with these changes, the `fileInput`-element will now *always* have `display: none;` set. This shouldn't matter, since we can still trigger the `click`-event of the element just fine (via JavaScript) and this patch has been successfully tested in both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
The various functionality in `web/debugger.js` is currently *indirectly* added to the global scope, since that's how `var` works when it's used outside of any functions/closures.
Given how this functionality is being accessed/used, not just in the viewer but also in the API and textLayer, simply converting the entire file to a module isn't trivial[1]. However, we can at least export the `PDFBug`-part properly and then `import` that dynamically in the viewer.
Also, to improve the code a little bit, we're now *explicitly* exporting the necessary functionality globally.
According to MDN, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import#browser_compatibility, all the browsers that we now support have dynamic `imports` implementations.
---
[1] We could probably pass around references to the necessary functionality, but given how this is being used I'm just not sure it's worth the effort. Also, adding *official* support for these viewer-specific debugging tools in the API feels both unnecessary and unfortunate.
At this point in time, after recent rounds of clean-up, the `webkit`-prefixed Fullscreen API is the only remaining *browser-specific* compatibility hack in the `web/`-folder JavaScript code.
The standard, and thus unprefixed, Fullscreen API has been supported for *over three years* in both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. [According to MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fullscreen_API#browser_compatibility), the unprefixed Fullscreen API has been available since:
- Mozilla Firefox 64, released on 2018-12-11; see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar#Past_branch_dates
- Google Chrome 71, released on 2018-12-04; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_version_history
Hence *only* Safari now requires using a prefixed Fullscreen API, and it's thus (significantly) lagging behind other browsers in this regard.
Considering that the default viewer is written *specifically* to be the UI for the Firefox PDF Viewer, and that we ask users to not just use it as-is[1], I think that we should only support the standard Fullscreen API now.
Furthermore, note also that the FAQ already lists Safari as "Mostly" supported; see https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#faq-support

> The viewer is built on the display layer and is the UI for PDF viewer in Firefox and the other browser extensions within the project. It can be a good starting point for building your own viewer. *However, we do ask if you plan to embed the viewer in your own site, that it not just be an unmodified version. Please re-skin it or build upon it.*

This `disableCreateObjectURL` option was originally introduced all the way back in PR 4103 (eight years ago), in order to work-around `URL.createObjectURL()`-bugs specific to Internet Explorer.
In PR 8081 (five years ago) the `disableCreateObjectURL` option was extended to cover Google Chrome on iOS-devices as well, since that configuration apparently also suffered from `URL.createObjectURL()`-bugs.[1]
At this point in time, I thus think that it makes sense to re-evaluate if we should still keep the `disableCreateObjectURL` option.
- For Internet Explorer, support was explicitly removed in PDF.js version `2.7.570` which was released one year ago and all IE-specific compatibility code (and polyfills) have since been removed.
- For Google Chrome on iOS-devices, while we still "support" such configurations, it's *not* the focus of any development and platform-specific bugs are thus often closed as WONTFIX.
Note here that at this point in time, the `disableCreateObjectURL` option is *only* being used in the viewer and any `URL.createObjectURL()`-bugs browser/platform bugs will thus not affect the main PDF.js library. Furthermore, given where the `disableCreateObjectURL` option is being used in the viewer the basic functionality should also remain unaffected by these changes.[2]
Furthermore, it's also possible that the `URL.createObjectURL()`-bugs have been fixed in *browser* itself since PR 8081 was submitted.[3]
Obviously you could argue that this isn't a lot of code, w.r.t. number of lines, and you'd be technically correct. However, it does add additional complexity in a few different viewer components which thus add overhead when reading and working with this code.
Finally, assuming the `URL.createObjectURL()`-bugs are still present in Google Chrome on iOS-devices, I think that we should ask ourselves if it's reasonable for the PDF.js project (and its contributors) to keep attempting to support a configuration if the *browser* developers still haven't fixed these kind of bugs!?
---
[1] According to https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-html5/RKQ0ZJIj7c4, which is linked in PR 8081, that bug was mentioned/reported as early as the 2014 (eight years ago).
[2] Viewer functionality such as e.g. downloading and printing may be affected.
[3] I don't have access to any iOS-devices to test with.
So that Firefox doesn't switch to pixel mode for compat with other
browsers.
This should fix https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/14476, in terms
of restoring the previous behavior.
We probably want to change the pixel-based scrolling code to not scroll
so much (the deltaMode stuff normalizes to +/-1 tick for each wheel
event, perhaps the pixel-based value should do the same).
*Please note:* This is a tentative patch, since I don't know if this is deemed important enough to fix.
The new event could be seen as a *supplement* to the existing "documentinit" and "documentloaded" events, but for the case when a PDF document fails to load.
To make the "documenterror" event generally useful, it'll include both the localized error message as well as the original reason for the error (when that exists).
As part of the changes/improvement in PR 14092, we're no longer using the `addLinkAttributes` directly in e.g. the AnnotationLayer-code.
Given that the helper function is now *only* used in the viewer, hence it no longer seems necessary to expose it through the official API.
*Please note:* It seems somewhat unlikely that third-party users were relying *directly* on the helper function, which is why it's not being exported as part of the viewer components. (If necessary, we can always change this later on.)
This structure contains *almost* exclusively references to DOM elements (and a couple of simple strings), rather than complete classes/functions. Hence the `eventBus`-option sticks out a fair bit, and I'd guess that it's *mostly* unused in e.g. third-party implementations.
Given that we, in multiple places, mention that the default viewer shouldn't be used as-is I really don't think that we need to keep this special `eventBus`-option around. Furthermore, nowadays it's also a lot easier to (safely) access the existing `EventBus`-instance in the viewer; see https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Third-party-viewer-usage#initialization-promise which shows how to listen for the default viewer being initialized (and its `eventBus` thus being available).
This patch, first of all, removes circular dependencies in the TypeScript definitions. Secondly, it also moves `RenderingStates` into `web/ui_utils.js` to break another type-dependency and directly use the `XfaLayerBuilder` during XFA-printing.
Finally, note that this patch *slightly* reduces the size of the default viewer (e.g. in the `MOZCENTRAL` build) by not having to bundle code which is completely unused.
The size of the `web/ui_utils.js` file has increased over time, as more code has been added to (or moved into) that file. To reduce its size slightly, this patch moves the event-related functionality into a separate file.
In PR 14114 this was only added to the default viewer, which means that in the viewer components the user would need to *manually* implement /Lang handling. This was (obviously) a bad choice, since the viewer components already support e.g. structTrees by default; sorry about overlooking this!
To avoid having to make *two* `getMetadata` API-calls[1] very early during initialization, in the default viewer, the API will now cache its result. This will also come in handy elsewhere in the default viewer, e.g. by reducing parsing when opening the "document properties" dialog.
---
[1] This not only includes a round-trip to the worker-thread, but also having to re-parse the /Metadata-entry when it exists.
*This patch can be tested e.g. with the `poppler-85140-0.pdf` document from the test-suite.*
For some sufficiently corrupt documents the `getDocument` call will succeed, but fetching even the very first page fails. Currently we only print error messages (in the console) from the `{BaseViewer, PDFThumbnailViewer}.setDocument` methods, but don't actually provide these errors to allow the viewer to handle them properly.
In practice this means that the GENERIC viewer won't display the `errorWrapper`, and in the MOZCENTRAL viewer the *browser* loading indicator is never hidden (since we never unblock the "load" event).
*Please note:* These changes will primarily benefit longer documents, somewhat at the expense of e.g. one-page documents.
The existing `PDFDocumentProxy.getStats` function, which in the default viewer is called for each rendered page, requires a round-trip to the worker-thread in order to obtain the current document stats. In the default viewer, we currently make one such API-call for *every rendered* page.
This patch proposes replacing that method with a *synchronous* `PDFDocumentProxy.stats` getter instead, combined with re-factoring the worker-thread code by adding a `DocStats`-class to track Stream/Font-types and *only send* them to the main-thread *the first time* that a type is encountered.
Note that in practice most PDF documents only use a fairly limited number of Stream/Font-types, which means that in longer documents most of the `PDFDocumentProxy.getStats`-calls will return the same data.[1]
This re-factoring will obviously benefit longer document the most[2], and could actually be seen as a regression for one-page documents, since in practice there'll usually be a couple of "DocStats" messages sent during the parsing of the first page. However, if the user zooms/rotates the document (which causes re-rendering), note that even a one-page document would start to benefit from these changes.
Another benefit of having the data available/cached in the API is that unless the document stats change during parsing, repeated `PDFDocumentProxy.stats`-calls will return *the same identical* object.
This is something that we can easily take advantage of in the default viewer, by now *only* reporting "documentStats" telemetry[3] when the data actually have changed rather than once per rendered page (again beneficial in longer documents).
---
[1] Furthermore, the maximium number of `StreamType`/`FontType` are `10` respectively `12`, which means that regardless of the complexity and page count in a PDF document there'll never be more than twenty-two "DocStats" messages sent; see 41ac3f0c07/src/shared/util.js (L206-L232)
[2] One example is the `pdf.pdf` document in the test-suite, where rendering all of its 1310 pages only result in a total of seven "DocStats" messages being sent from the worker-thread.
[3] Reporting telemetry, in Firefox, includes using `JSON.stringify` on the data and then sending an event to the `PdfStreamConverter.jsm`-code.
In that code the event is handled and `JSON.parse` is used to retrieve the data, and in the "documentStats"-case we'll then iterate through the data to avoid double-reporting telemetry; see https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/8f4c180b87e52f3345ef8a3432d6e54bd1eb18dc/toolkit/components/pdfjs/content/PdfStreamConverter.jsm#515-549
Reporting telemetry, in Firefox, includes using `JSON.stringify` on the data and then sending an event to the `PdfStreamConverter.jsm`-code.
In that code the event is handled and `JSON.parse` is used to retrieve the data, and in the "pageInfo"-case we'll then proceed to ignore everything except *the first* such event; see https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/24fac1ad31fb9c6e9c4c767c6a7ff45d226078f3/toolkit/components/pdfjs/content/PdfStreamConverter.jsm#509-514
All-in-all, sending the "pageInfo" telemetry for each rendered page is thus unnecessary and this patch makes the viewer send it only *once* instead.
I missed this one spot in PR 12870, when converting the other cases in the "keydown" event handler. However, given that it only matters in PresentationMode and/or when "page-fit" zooming is enabled, this oversight shouldn't have had any user-observable impact (but we should fix it nonetheless).
Unfortunately there exist PDF documents where all pageLabels are empty strings, see e.g. http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~ragarwal/pubs/blk-switch.pdf (taken from an old issue), which result in the pageNumber-input being completely blank. That doesn't seem very helpful, and this patch simply extends the approach used to ignore pageLabels that are identical to standard page numbering.
*Please note:* This is a tentative patch, since I don't have the necessary a11y-software to actually test it.
To avoid having to add a new API-method just for a single string, I figured that adding the new property to the existing `documentInfo`-data (accessed via `PDFDocumentProxy.getMetadata` in the API) will hopefully be deemed acceptable.
Looking at the code, I do have to agree with the point made in issue 12731 about it being unexpected/unhelpful that the `PDFFindController.executeCommand`-method isn't directly usable with the "find"-event.
The reason for it being this way is, as so often, for historical reasons: The `executeCommand`-method was added (just) prior to the introduction of the `EventBus` in the viewer.
Obviously we cannot simply change the existing `PDFFindController.executeCommand`-method, since that'd be a breaking change in code which has existed for over five years.
Initially I figured that we could simply add a new method in `PDFFindController` that'd accept the state from the "find"-event, however after thinking about this and looking through the use-cases in the default viewer I settled on a slightly different approach: Let the `PDFFindController` just listen for the "find"-event (on the `EventBus`-instance) directly instead, which also removes one level of (unneeded) indirection during searching in the default viewer.
For GENERIC builds of the PDF.js library, the old `PDFFindController.executeCommand`-method is still available with a deprecation warning.
This implements a new Page scrolling mode, essentially bringing (and extending) the functionality from `PDFSinglePageViewer` into the regular `PDFViewer`-class. Compared to `PDFSinglePageViewer`, which as its name suggests will only display one page at a time, in the `PDFViewer`-implementation this new Page scrolling mode also support spreadModes properly (somewhat similar to e.g. Adobe Reader).
Given the size and scope of these changes, I've tried to focus on implementing the basic functionality. Hence there's room for further clean-up and/or improvements, including e.g. simplifying the CSS/JS related to PresentationMode and implementing easier page-switching with the mouse-wheel/arrow-keys.
Currently any AppOptions set using e.g. the "webviewerloaded" event listener can/will by default be overridden when the Preferences are read.
To avoid that happening the "disablePreferences"-option can be used, however unless it's been explicitly set all non-default AppOptions will be silently ignored. This patch thus attempts to improve the current situation somewhat, for third-party implementations, by logging a warning in the console when this happens.
Given the simplicity of this functionality, we can move it from the default viewer and into the `BaseViewer` class instead. This way, it's possible to support more scripting functionality in the standalone viewer components; please see PR 14038.
Please note that I purposely went with `increaseScale`/`decreaseScale`-method names, rather than using "zoom", to better match the existing `currentScale`/`currentScaleValue` getters/setters that's being used in the `BaseViewer` class.
Rather than forcing the "regular" `EventBus` to check and handle `isInAutomation` for every `dispatch` call, we can take advantage of subclassing instead.
Hence this PR introduces a new `AutomationEventBus` class, which extends `EventBus`, and is used by the default viewer when `isInAutomation === true`.
Originally the library/viewer didn't support forms, and the hiding of the Download-buttons (when new documents are opened) didn't really matter all that much. Hence the simplest solution, at the time, was to hide the Download-buttons since we use the URL as a fallback when downloading data in the GENERIC `DownloadManager`.
Nowadays we obviously want to support saving of forms in the GENERIC viewer, regardless of how the document was opened, which could thus *potentially* lead to the fallback download-URL being wrong.
In order to be able to show the Download-buttons unconditionally, this patch slightly re-factors the viewer to track the download-URL *separately* to prevent any issues there.
*Please note:* As mentioned in the issue, the ViewBookmark-buttons are specific to the initial URL when the viewer is first opened. Hence they (still) don't make sense when a new document has been opened, since it's then impossible to obtain a usable link to the *currently* active document.
Similar to other viewer components, e.g. the `PDFFindBar` and `PDFPresentationMode`, there's no need to create a `PDFHistory`-instance when it's not going to be used.
A lot of the code in this getter has existed ever since the initial PresentationMode-implementation was first added all the way back in PR 1938 (which is nine years ago now).
At this point in time however, there's now a simpler way detect if a browser supports the FullScreen API and we should thus be able to simplify this getter; please refer to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/fullscreenEnabled#browser_compatibility
*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.
The `loadAndEnablePDFBug` helper function, in `web/app.js`, can be simplified a little bit by making it `async`. Furthermore, given how `PDFBug` is being used, we can also (slightly) re-factor `PDFBug.init` such that the `PDFBug.enable`-call is done internally rather than having to handle that manually at the call-site.
(Finally, utilize `await` more in the `loadFakeWorker` helper function.)
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.
Even though the code as-is *should* be safe, given that we're using an Object with a `null` prototype, it cannot hurt to change this to a Map to prevent any issues (since we're parsing unknown and potentially unsafe data).
Overall I also think that these changes improve the `parseQueryString` call-sites, since we now have a proper way of checking for the existence of a particular key (and don't have to use `in` which stringifies the keys in the Object).
This patch also changes the default, when no `value` exists, from `null` to an empty string since the use of `decodeURIComponent` currently can modify the value in a somewhat surprising way (at least to me).
Note how `decodeURIComponent(null) === "null"` which is unlikely to be what you actually want, whereas `decodeURIComponent("") === ""` which seems much more helpful.
Prior to PR 13042, when scripting wasn't really possible to use outside of the full viewer, the `enableScripting` option made sense.
However, at this point in time having to both pass in a `PDFScriptingManager`-instance *and* set the `enableScripting`-boolean when creating a `BaseViewer`-instance feels redundant and (mostly) annoying. Hence this patch, which removes the *separate* boolean and always enables scripting when `scriptingManager` is provided.
The relevant "viewer component" examples are also updated (with a comment), but in such a way that scripting support won't just break when used with the current PDF.js releases.
Given that we've over time been reducing the number of `compatibilityParams` in use, there's now few enough left that I think it makes sense to simply inline them directly in the `web/app_options.js` file.
Note that we recently inlined/removed the separate `src/display/api_compatibility.js` file, see PR 13525, and that it (in my opinion) thus makes sense to do the same in the `web/`-folder. This patch will also slightly reduce the size of *built* `web/viewer.js` file, which cannot hurt.
The PDF.js API has only ever supported accessing the original file ID, however the second one that (should) exist in *modified* documents have thus far been completely inaccessible through the API.
That seems like a simple oversight, caused e.g. by the viewer not needing it, since it really shouldn't hurt to provide API-users with the ability to check if a PDF document has been modified since its creation.[1]
Please refer to https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#G13.2261661 for additional information.
For an example of how to update existing code to use the new API, please see the changes in the `web/app.js` file included in this patch.
*Please note:* While I'm not sure if we'll ever be able to remove the old `PDFDocumentProxy.fingerprint` getter, given that it's existed since "forever", that probably isn't a big deal given that it's now limited to only `GENERIC`-builds.

[1] Although this obviously depends on the PDF software following the specification, by updating the second file ID as intended.
Given that this property is only used with password protected documents, and is consequently document-specific rather than viewer-specific, ensure that `IPDFLinkService.externalLinkEnabled` is actually being reset by `PDFViewerApplication.close`.
To make things less confusing/inconsistent, remove the *undocumented* `externalLinkEnabled` property from the `PDFLinkService` constructor and force it to always be manually set when needed.
Reasons for the removal include:
- This functionality was always somewhat experimental and has never been enabled by default, partly because of worries about rendering bugs caused by e.g. bad/outdated graphics drivers.
- After the initial implementation, in PR 4286 (back in 2014), no additional functionality has been added to the WebGL implementation.
- The vast majority of all documents do not benefit from WebGL rendering, since only a couple of *specific* features are supported (e.g. some Soft Masks and Patterns).
- There is, and has always been, *zero* test-coverage for the WebGL implementation.
- Overall performance, in the PDF.js library, has improved since the experimental WebGL implementation was added.
Rather than shipping unused *and* untested code, it seems reasonable to simply remove the WebGL implementation for now; thanks to version control it's always possible to bring back the code should the need ever arise.
According to a decision by UX and PM, please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1705060#c2 (and implemented in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1705327), we no longer show the notification-bar in Firefox; hence the special `PDFViewerApplication._delayedFallback` functionality should no longer be necessary.
Furthermore, note that at this point in time *most* of the features which used the `PDFViewerApplication._delayedFallback` functionality is now enabled by default; hence that provides even less reason to keep this code around and existing calls are thus converted to "regular" `PDFViewerApplication.fallback` calls.
According to a decision by UX and PM, please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1705060#c2, in Firefox we should first of all *not* display the notification-bar for signatures. Secondly, as can also be seen there, we shouldn't display the notification-bar *at all* and it's thus disabled in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1705327.
If we purposely don't display a notification, for documents with signatures, in the *built in* Firefox PDF Viewer then it cannot be necessary in the GENERIC viewer either.
To simplify the overall implementation, given that it only applies to the GENERIC-viewer, this patch purposely re-uses the existing `errorWrapper`-functionality to display the message.
While that one is mostly intended for actual *errors*, by re-using it here we considerably reduce the amount of code/complexity necessary for supporting this new warning. It's obviously possible to re-factor/improve this later on, but the patch should do just fine here since it'll indeed inform users (of the GENERIC-viewer) about unverified signatures.
Finally this patch also tweaks the background-color of the `errorWrapper`, making it 20 percent lighter respectively darker (depending on the theme) to make it "stand out" a little bit *less*.[1] While it may perhaps be useful to re-style/re-factor the `errorWrapper`, this patch probably isn't the right place for doing that.

[1] Note how in the MOZCENTRAL-viewer, which instead uses the browser notification-bar, we're purposely using a neutral colour to not draw too much attention to the notification-bar.
