- it aims to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1749563;
- use some helper functions to get (u|i)int** values in buffer: it helps to have a clearer code;
- in composite glyphes the translations values with a transformations are signed so consequently get some int8 instead of uint8;
- add few TODOs.
Please refer to https://www.pdfa.org/norm-refs/Type1Fonts.pdf#page=15 for the expected format for the /CharStrings entries.
In the referenced PDF document the /CharStrings are missing the expected end-token, which causes us to swallow the start of the next glyph name.
This patch implements this by looking for the UTF-8 BOM, i.e. `\xEF\xBB\xBF`, in order to determine the encoding.[1]
The actual conversion is done using the `TextDecoder` interface, which should be available in all environments/browsers that we support; please see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TextDecoder#browser_compatibility
---
[1] Assuming that everything lacking a UTF-16 BOM would have to be UTF-8 encoded really doesn't seem correct.
In corrupt PDF documents Type3 fonts may introduce circular dependencies, thus resulting in the affected font(s) never loading and parsing/rendering never completing.
Note that I've not seen any real-world examples of this kind of font corruption, but the attached PDF document was rather found in https://github.com/pdf-association/safedocs/tree/main/Miscellaneous%20Targeted%20Test%20PDFs
*Please note:* That repository contains a number of reduced test-cases that are specifically intended to test interoperability (between PDF viewer) and parsing/rendering for various kinds of strange/corrupt PDF documents.
Some of the test-cases found there may thus not make sense to try and "fix" upfront, in my opinion, unless the problems are also found in real-world PDF documents.
While `PageViewport` apparently makes sense in TypeScript environments, given that it's being returned by the `PDFPageProxy.getViewport`-method in the API, we really don't want to extend the *public* API by simply exporting the class directly in `src/pdf.js` since it should never be called/initialized manually.
Hence we follow the same pattern as in PR 14013, and also extend the API unit-tests to ensure that `PDFPageProxy.getViewport` always returns a `PageViewport`-instance as expected.
This prevents the `BaseSVGFactory.create`-method from throwing, and thus preventing any remaining Annotations (on the page) from rendering in corrupt documents.
This helper function has never been used in e.g. the worker-thread, hence its placement in `src/shared/util.js` led to a *small* amount of unnecessary duplication.
After the previous patches this 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 this 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.)
I happened to notice that we didn't have *any* unit-tests for either `getFieldObjects` or `getCalculationOrderIds`, on the `PDFDocumentProxy` class, which seems unfortunate since it's API functionality that we depend on in e.g. the viewer.
Besides converting `Catalog.getPageDict` to an `async` method, thus simplifying the code, this patch also allows us to pro-actively fix a existing issue.
Note how we're looking up References in such a way that `MissingDataException`s won't cause trouble, however it's *technically possible* that the entries (i.e. /Count, /Kids, and /Type) in a /Pages Dictionary could actually be indirect objects as well. In the existing code this could lead to *some*, or even all, pages failing to load/render as intended.
In practice that doesn't *appear* to happen in real-world PDF documents, but given all the weird things that PDF software do I'd prefer to fix this pro-actively (rather than waiting for a bug report).
With `Catalog.getPageDict` being `async` this is now really simple to address, however I didn't want to introduce a bunch more *unconditional* asynchronicity in this method if it could be avoided (since that could slow things down). Hence we'll *synchronously* lookup the *raw* data in a /Pages Dictionary, and only fallback to asynchronous data lookup when a Reference was encountered.
In addition to the above, this patch also makes the following notable changes:
- Let `Catalog.getPageDict` *consistently* reject with the actual error, regardless of what data we're fetching. Previously we'd "swallow" the actual errors except when looking up Dictionary entries, which is inconsistent and thus seem unfortunate. As can be seen from the updated unit-tests this change is API-observable, hence why the patch is tagged `[api-minor]`.
- Improve the consistency of the Dictionary /Type-checks in both the `Catalog.getPageDict` and `Catalog.getAllPageDicts` methods.
In `Catalog.getPageDict` there's a fallback code-path where we're *incorrectly* checking the /Page Dictionary for a /Contents-entry, which is wrong since a /Page Dictionary doesn't need to have a /Contents-entry in order to be valid.
For consistency the `Catalog.getAllPageDicts` method is also updated to handle errors in the /Type-lookup correctly.
- Reduce the `PagesCountLimit.PAUSE_EAGER_PAGE_INIT` viewer constant, to further improve loading/rendering performance of the *second* page during initialization of very long documents; PR 14359 follow-up.
Most likely this code predates our use of Node.js, but in Node.js asking
for user confirmation is a solved problem, so we can remove the custom
logic we have for this, which overall makes things much simpler.
This patch circumvents the issues seen when trying to update TypeScript to version `4.5`, by "simply" fixing the broken/missing JSDocs and `typedef`s such that `gulp typestest` now passes.
As always, given that I don't really know anything about TypeScript, I cannot tell if this is a "correct" and/or proper way of doing things; we'll need TypeScript users to help out with testing!
*Please note:* I'm sorry about the size of this patch, but given how intertwined all of this unfortunately is it just didn't seem easy to split this into smaller parts.
However, one good thing about this TypeScript update is that it helped uncover a number of pre-existing bugs in our JSDocs comments.
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.
We use string arguments in all other places, so these two places are a
bit inconsistent in that sense. Moreover, it's just one argument now,
which makes it a bit easier to read and see what it does because we
don't have to pass the always-empty options argument anymore. Finally,
doing it like this ensures it works in all Puppeteer versions given
https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/issues/7836.
Once the upstream bug is fixed it can be enabled again because it's
causing way too much noise now. This is tracked in issue #14293. Note
that I deliberately added a new block so we can easily remove it later
on and because the other block is about another bug.
Given that [bug 1336591](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1336591) was just closed as fixed, thus fixing issue 8022 in Firefox, let's add a test-case to enable us to catch any future regressions either in PDF.js or in browsers themselves.
Currently the `Catalog.metadata` getter only handles errors during parsing, however in a *corrupt* PDF document fetching of the raw /Metadata can obviously fail as well.
Without this patch the `PDFDocumentProxy.getMetadata` method, in the API, can thus fail which it *never* should and this will cause the viewer to not initialize all state as expected.
Fixes one of the documents in issue 14305.
Given that [bug 1336572](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1336572) was just closed as fixed, thus fixing issue 8019 in Firefox[1], let's add a test-case to enable us to catch any future regressions either in PDF.js or in browsers themselves.
---
[1] It also seems to be working in Google Chrome, although I'm having a slightly difficult time deciphering *exactly* what configurations were affected when looking through issue 8019.
*This patch improves handling of a couple of PDF documents from issue 14303.*
- Update `XRef.indexObjects` to actually clear *all* XRef-caches. Invalid XRef tables *usually* cause issues early enough during parsing that we've not populated the XRef-cache, however to prevent any issues we obviously need to clear that one as well.
- Improve the /Root dictionary validation in `XRef.parse` (PR 9827 follow-up). In addition to checking that a /Pages entry exists, we'll now also check that it can be successfully fetched *and* that it's of the correct type. There's really no point trying to use a /Root dictionary that e.g. `Catalog.toplevelPagesDict` will reject, and this way we'll be able to fallback to indexing the objects in corrupt documents.
- Throw an `InvalidPDFException`, rather than a general `FormatError`, in `XRef.parse` when no usable /Root dictionary could be found. That really seems more appropriate overall, since all attempts at parsing/recovery have failed. (This part of the patch is API-observable, hence the tag.)
With these changes, two existing test-cases are improved and the unit-tests are updated/re-factored to highlight that. In particular `GHOSTSCRIPT-698804-1-fuzzed.pdf` will now both load and "render" correctly, whereas `poppler-395-0-fuzzed.pdf` will now fail immediately upon loading (rather than *appearing* to work).
*Please note:* This is similar to the method that existed prior to PR 3848, but the new method will *only* be used as a fallback when parsing of corrupt PDF documents.
The implementation in PR 14311 unfortunately turned out to be *way* too simplistic, as evident by the recently added test-files in issue 14303, since it may *cause* infinite loops in `PDFDocument.checkLastPage` for some corrupt PDF documents.[1]
To avoid this, the easiest solution that I could come up with was to fallback to eagerly parsing the *entire* /Pages-tree when the /Count-entry validation fails during document initialization.
Fixes *at least* two of the issues listed in issue 14303, namely the `poppler-395-0.pdf...` and `GHOSTSCRIPT-698804-1.pdf...` documents.
---
[1] The whole point of PR 14311 was obviously to *get rid of* infinte loops during document initialization, not to introduce any more of those.
Given that we're able to "render" this document, let's extend the unit-test to actually check that we're able to obtain the operatorList; although given the overall issues in the document it'll be empty.
This only applies to severely corrupt documents, where it's possible that the `Parser` throws when we try to access e.g. a /Kids-entry in the /Pages-tree.
Fixes two of the issues listed in issue 14303, namely the `poppler-742-0.pdf...` and `poppler-937-0.pdf...` documents.
In Puppeteer 11 we noticed that Firefox doesn't shut down once the tests
are done anymore. I tracked this down to the `page.goto` call, in
`startBrowser`, never resolving anymore. I can only assume that
something changed in Puppeteer, possibly in combination with recent
Firefox Nightly versions, that caused this, but haven't been able to
fully track it down.
However, I did find that the problem is that the `load` event no longer
triggers, so fortunately we can fix the problem by explicitly waiting
for the `domcontentloaded` event instead. In general this change might
even be better since we now wait until the test framework is fully
loaded before we continue. Note that this also still works for the
current Puppeteer version.
I did find two upstream references that appear to track this issue, both
on the Puppeteer side and on the Firefox side, making me further suspect
that the issue is partly on both sides:
- https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/issues/5806
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1706353
If a browser cannot be started, we currently get the following log:
`Error while starting firefox: [object Object]`. This is simply an
oversight from the initial Puppeteer integration work since we never got
into this code path before. With this fix the error log becomes more
useful: `Error while starting firefox: connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:45387`
*Please note:* While this patch on its own is sufficient to prevent the worker-thread from hanging, however in combination with PR 14311 these PDF documents will both load *and* render correctly.
Rather than focusing on the particular structure of these PDF documents, it seemed (at least to me) to make sense to try and prevent all circular references when fetching/looking-up data using the XRef table.
To avoid a solution that required tracking the references manually everywhere, the implementation settled on here instead handles that internally in the `XRef.fetch`-method. This should work, since that method *and* the `Parser`/`Lexer`-implementations are completely synchronous.
Note also that the existing `XRef`-caching, used for all data-types *except* Streams, should hopefully help to lessen the performance impact of these changes.
One *potential* problem with these changes could be certain *browser* exceptions, since those are generally not catchable in JavaScript code, however those would most likely "stop" worker-thread parsing anyway (at least I hope so).
Finally, note that I settled on returning dummy-data rather than throwing an exception. This was done to allow parsing, for the rest of the document, to continue such that *one* bad reference doesn't prevent an entire document from loading.
Fixes two of the issues listed in issue 14303, namely the `poppler-91414-0.zip-2.gz-53.pdf` and `poppler-91414-0.zip-2.gz-54.pdf` documents.
*This patch basically extends the approach from PR 10392, by also checking the last page.*
Currently, in e.g. the `Catalog.numPages`-getter, we're simply assuming that if the /Pages-tree has an *integer* /Count entry it must also be correct/valid.
As can be seen in the referenced PDF documents, that entry may be completely bogus which causes general parsing to breaking down elsewhere in the worker-thread (and hanging the browser).
Rather than hoping that the /Count entry is correct, similar to all other data found in PDF documents, we obviously need to validate it. This turns out to be a little less straightforward than one would like, since the only way to do this (as far as I know) is to parse the *entire* /Pages-tree and essentially counting the pages.
To avoid doing that for all documents, this patch tries to take a short-cut by checking if the last page (based on the /Count entry) can be successfully fetched. If so, we assume that the /Count entry is correct and use it as-is, otherwise we'll iterate through (potentially) the *entire* /Pages-tree to determine the number of pages.
Unfortunately these changes will have a number of *somewhat* negative side-effects, please see a possibly incomplete list below, however I cannot see a better way to address this bug.
- This will slow down initial loading/rendering of all documents, at least by some amount, since we now need to fetch/parse more of the /Pages-tree in order to be able to access the *last* page of the PDF documents.
- For poorly generated PDF documents, where the entire /Pages-tree only has *one* level, we'll unfortunately need to fetch/parse the *entire* /Pages-tree to get to the last page. While there's a cache to help reduce repeated data lookups, this will affect initial loading/rendering of *some* long PDF documents,
- This will affect the `disableAutoFetch = true` mode negatively, since we now need to fetch/parse more data during document initialization. While the `disableAutoFetch = true` mode should still be helpful in larger/longer PDF documents, for smaller ones the effect/usefulness may unfortunately be lost.
As one *small* additional bonus, we should now also be able to support opening PDF documents where the /Pages-tree /Count entry is completely invalid (e.g. contains a non-integer value).
Fixes two of the issues listed in issue 14303, namely the `poppler-67295-0.pdf` and `poppler-85140-0.pdf` documents.
For this particular PDF document, we have `/W [1 2 166666666666666666666666666]` which obviously makes no sense.
While this patch makes no attempt at actually validating the entries in the /W-array, we'll now simply abort all processing when the end of the PDF document has been reached (thus preventing hanging the browser).
Please note that this patch doesn't enable the PDF document to be loaded/rendered, but at least it fails "correctly" now.
Fixes one of the issues listed in issue 14303, namely the `REDHAT-1531897-0.pdf`document.
This bug was surprisingly difficult to track down, since it didn't just depend on range-requests being used but also on how quickly the document was loaded. To even be able to reproduce this locally, I had to use a very small `rangeChunkSize`-value (note the unit-test).
The cause of this bug is a bogus entry in the XRef-table, causing us to attempt to request data from *beyond* the actual document size and thus getting into an infinite loop.
Fixes *one* of the issues listed in issue 14303, namely the `PDFBOX-4352-0.pdf` document.
In the `BaseViewer` this cache is mostly relevant in the `disableAutoFetch = true` mode, since the pages are being initialized *lazily* in that case.
In the `PDFThumbnailViewer` this cache is mostly used for thumbnails that are actually being rendered, as opposed to those created directly from the "regular" pages.
Please note that I'm not suggesting that we remove these caches because they're only used in some situations, but rather because they're for all intents and purposes actually *redundant*. In the API itself, we're already caching both the page-promises and the actual pages themselves on the `WorkerTransport`-instance.
Hence these viewer-caches aren't really necessary in practice, and adds what to me mostly seems like an unnecessary level of indirection.[1]
Given that the viewer now relies on caching in the API itself, this patch also adds a new unit-test to ensure that page-caching works (and keep working) as expected.
---
[1] In the `WorkerTransport.getPage`-method the parameter is being validated on every call, but that's hardly enough code to warrant keeping the "duplicate" caches in the viewer in my opinion.
*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
On the main thread call `driver.log` and the message will output in the
terminal with the pdf id and the message.
I've been using this a lot when trying to find certain PDFs or logging
stats.
There's obviously no guarantee that this will work in general, if the document is sufficiently corrupt, but it should hopefully be better than just throwing `InvalidPDFException` as currently happens.
Please note that, as is often the case with corrupt documents, it's somewhat difficult to know if we're rendering the document "correctly" with this patch[1]. In this case even Adobe Reader cannot open the document, which is always a good sign that it's *really* corrupt, however we're at least able to render *something* with this patch.
---
[1] Whatever "correct" even means when dealing with corrupt PDF documents, where often times different PDF viewers won't agree completely.
- it aims to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=931481;
- real space chars are pushed in the chunk but when there is an extra spacing, the next char position must be compared with the previous one;
- for example, an extra spacing can cancel a space so visually there are no space.

- several interactive pdfs use the possibility to hide/show buttons to show different icons;
- render pushbuttons on their own canvas and then insert it the annotation_layer;
- update test/driver.js in order to convert canvases for pushbuttons into images.
With the previous patch, this helper function is no longer used and keeping it around will simply increase the size of the builds.
This removal is purposely done *separately*, to make it easy to revert the patch in the future if this helper function would become useful again.
This small change will help validate an important part of the upcoming re-factoring, regarding the *correct* iteration of the `Set` in the `PDFPageViewBuffer.resize` method in particular.
In `beginGroup` we create a new canvas that is the size of the
bounding box and we translate it to the offset. This means we don't need to
also apply the bounding box during `paintFormXObjectBegin`.
This improves #6961 quite a bit, but it still is missing the indention
in the ruler.
The `PDFPageViewBuffer`-code is very important for the correct function of the viewer, but it's currently not tested at all.
While the `PDFPageViewBuffer` is obviously intended to be used with `PDFPageView`-instances, it only accesses a couple of `PDFPageView` properties/methods and consequently it's fairly easy to unit-test this code with dummy-data.
These unit-tests should help improve our confidence in this code, and will also come in handy with other changes that I'm working on (regarding modernizing and re-factoring the `PDFPageViewBuffer`-code).
- it aims to fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1739502;
- when the target area was the current content area, everything was pushed in it instead of creating a new one (and consequently a new pageArea is created).
- the pdf shows an alignment issue on page 4:
- the hAlign is "center" but the subform was the width of its parent, so compute the real width of the subform with tb layout;
- there is an extra empty page at the end of the pdf:
- there is a subform with some hidden elements which are not rendered for now (since there is no plugged JS engine it isn't possible to draw them in changing their visibility).
- so in case a subform is empty and has no real dimensions (at least one is 0), we just consider it as empty.
We were incorrectly using the transform in the pattern before it had been
adjusted causing the pattern to be misplaced relative to the page.
Fixes: ShowText-ShadingPattern.pdf (already in corpus)
Fixes: #8111Fixes: #9243
Subfrom nomin displays even though it's subform is set to <occur max=-1 min=0>
If we look through specs of XFA 3.3 : https://www.pdfa.org/norm-refs/XFA-3_3.pdf
- The min attribute is used when processing a form that contains data. Regardless of the data at least this number of instances is included. It is permissible to set this value to zero, in which case the container is entirely excluded if there is no data for it.
However, in our case it doesn't happen, because we let our empty dataNode get through. Though by setting a clause:
- eliminate unmatched data with occur min=0
we are checking our empty data and sending it to uselessNode array where at the end it gets removed;
Note how in `PDFPageViewBuffer.resize` we're manually iterating through the visible pages in order to build a Set of the visible page `id`s. By instead moving the building of this Set into the `getVisibleElements` helper function, as part of the existing parsing, this code becomes *ever so slightly* more efficient.
Furthermore, more direct access to the visible page `id`s also come in handy in other parts of the viewer as well.
In the `BaseViewer.isPageVisible` method we no longer need to loop through the visible pages, but can instead directly check if the pageNumber is visible.
In the `PDFRenderingQueue.getHighestPriority` method, when checking for "holes" in the page layout, we can also avoid some unnecessary look-ups this way.
Very short strings can narrowly miss the existing Bidi-detection threshold, leading to incorrect text-selection and copying behaviour.
In my testing, neither Adobe Reader or PDFium seem to handle copying "correctly" for this document. Hence it's not entirely clear to me that we actually want to fix this, since tweaking these heuristics can *obviously* cause regressions elsewhere (and our test coverage for RTL-text isn't exactly great).
It seems that issue 10301 was fixed by PR 13424, by combining the spans, however given that we don't have a lot of test coverage for RTL-text I figured that adding a simple reference test wouldn't hurt (rather than just closing the issue as WORKSFORME).
There were some links not working in some XFA files,I realized that the anchor tag that contains the link has an inline display and couldn't receive any height, solved this by adding a "position: absolute". Tested with two different files in Firefox Nightly and Chrome and now all links are working perfectly fine. Added reftest to avoid future regressions
