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`.
Note that by using `let` instead of `var` in `PartialEvaluator.setGState` and `TranslatedFont.loadType3Data`, we can get rid of further `bind` usages since `let` is block-scoped.
Also, the fact that `bind` wasn't used in the `Font` case inside of `setGState` is actually a bug which has been present ever since PR 5205, where a closure was replaced by a standard loop.[1]
---
[1] I'm not aware of any bugs caused by this, but that is probably more a happy accident than anything else, since e.g. just removing the `bind` from the `SMask` case without using block-scoped variables causes test failures.
This is a regression from commit 3888a993b1.
It turns out the even though we have a `URL` polyfill, it's still dependent on the existence of native `URL.{createObjectURL, revokeObjectURL}` functions.
Since no such thing exists in Node.js, our `createObjectURL` utility function breaks there.

[api-minor] Always allow e.g. rendering to continue even if there are errors, and add a `stopAtErrors` parameter to `getDocument` to opt-out of this behaviour (issue 6342, issue 3795, bug 1130815)
This patch implements support for line annotations. Other viewers only
show the popup annotation when hovering over the line, which may have
any orientation. To make this possible, we render an invisible line (SVG
element) over the line on the canvas that acts as the trigger for the
popup annotation. This invisible line has the same starting coordinates,
ending coordinates and width of the line on the canvas.
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).
- When the minified version is used the resolver of the worker can not find it properly and throws 404 error.
- The problem was that:
- It was getting the current name of the file.
- It was replacing **.js** by **.worker.js**
- When it was loading the unminified version it was working fine because:
- *pdf.js - .js + .worker.js* = **pdf.worker.js**
- When it was loading the minified version it didtn't work because:
- *pdf.min.js - .js + .worker.js* = **pdf.min.worker.js**
- **pdf.min.worker.js** doesn't exist the real file name is **pdf.worker.min.js**
The display layer is responsible for creating the HTML elements for the
annotations from the core layer. If we need to ignore border styling for
the containers of certain elements, the display layer should do so and
not the core layer. I noticed this during the implementation of line
annotations, for which we actually need the original border width in the
display layer, even though we ignore it for the container. If we set the
border style to zero in the core layer, this becomes impossible.
To prevent this, this patch moves the container border removal code from
the core layer to the display layer. This makes the core layer output
the unchanged annotation data and lets the display layer remove any
border styling if necessary.
The existing implementation of fakeRequestAnimationFrame
did not return a timer ID, so the frame could not be cancelled
if you wanted to cancel it. But if you do want to cancel it,
it needs to be cancelled through clearTimeout instead of
cancelAnimationFrame, because the timer IDs are different.

I happened to notice that the error handling wasn't that great, which I missed previously since there were no unit-tests for failure to load built-in CMap files.
Hence this patch, which improves the error handling *and* adds tests.
I found that PR 8105 unfortunately causes a *very serious* performance regression in long PDF documents where the `Pages` tree only has one level; my apologies for this!
Obviously we cannot revert that PR, since that would cause more issues than it solves. Hence it seems to me that the only viable solution here, is to add a simple `RefSetCache` to reduce the amount of redundant lookups.
Previously in PR 8105 caching was thought to be unnecessary, but as it turns out I don't think that we really have a choice in the matter any more.
For reasons I don't pretend to understand, we're passing around `xref` arguments to a bunch of methods despite `this.xref` being available in `PartialEvaluator`.
This patch is a small first small step towards cleaning up the, often unwieldy, signatures of methods in `PartialEvaluator`.
I really cannot understand why this change is necessary, since modern browsers such as Firefox and Chrome work just fine with the old code.
Hence this is patch is yet another "hack" that's needed just because IE apparently cannot just work like you'd expect.
For consistency, the Node factory used in the CMap unit-tests is changed as well.
Fixes 8193.
*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.
In core/document.js: `PDFDocument.prototype.parse` accesses a dictionary
property, which could throw if the underlying data is not yet available.
In core/obj.js: `get Catalog.prototype.metadata` calls
`stream.getBytes`, which can throw MissingDataException too when the
stream is a ChunkedStream.
Similar to other `try-catch` statements in `/core` code, we must re-throw `MissingDataException` to prevent issues with missing data during document loading.
Note that I'm not sure if/how we can test this, which is why the patch doesn't include any test(s).
Fixes 8180.
*After browsing through (a version of) the JPEG specification, see https://www.w3.org/Graphics/JPEG/itu-t81.pdf, I hope that this patch makes sense.*
Note that while issue 7828 became a problem after PR 7661, it isn't really a regression from than PR. The explanation is rather that we're now relying on `core/jpg.js` instead of the Native Image decoder in more situations than before, which thus exposed an *existing* issue in our JPEG decoder.
Another factor also seems to be that in many JPEG images, the DRI (Define Restart Interval) marker isn't present, in which case this bug won't manifest either.
According to https://www.w3.org/Graphics/JPEG/itu-t81.pdf#page=89 (at the bottom of the page):
"NOTE – The final restart interval may be smaller than the size specified by the DRI marker segment, as it includes only the number of MCUs remaining in the scan."
Furthermore, according to https://www.w3.org/Graphics/JPEG/itu-t81.pdf#page=39 (in the middle of the page):
"[...] If restart is enabled and the restart interval is defined to be Ri, each entropy-coded segment except the last one shall contain Ri MCUs. The last one shall contain whatever number of MCUs completes the scan."
Based on the above, it thus seem to me that we should simply ensure that we're not attempting to continue to parse Scan data once we've found all MCUs (Minimum Coded Unit) of the image.
Fixes 7828.
I happened to notice that some inequalities had the wrong order, and was surprised since I thought that the `yoda` rule should have caught that.
However, reading http://eslint.org/docs/rules/yoda#options a bit more closely than previously, it's quite obvious that the `onlyEquality` option does *exactly* what its name suggests. Hence I think that it makes sense to adjust the options such that only ranges are allowed instead.
This patch gets rid of the only case in the code-base where we're throwing a plain `string`, rather than an `Error`, which besides better/more consistent error handling also allows us to enable the [`no-throw-literal`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-throw-literal) ESLint rule.
This patch is another step towards enabling Babel. Since we're moving
towards ES6 modules, we will not be using UMD headers anymore, so we can
remove the validation.
*This is something that I noticed while working on PR 8126, which is (more) fallout from PR 6065.*
In general, it's actually *not* correct to return `Dict.empty` as the default value for non-existent properties. Please note that a prior PR, see https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/5957#issuecomment-103112698, asked for that behaviour but I don't think that's right.
Obviously for properties that are (or should) be `Dict`s it makes sense, however certain properties can be e.g. Strings or Arrays instead. In the latter case, returning `Dict.empty` is just plain wrong, and it's quite fascinating that this hasn't caused any errors in practice. (The existing validation in the various getters has actually saved us here.)
Also, when looking at this code again, it seemed unnecessary to duplicate the `MAX_LOOP_COUNT` check since we could just return immediately instead.
When using content security headers to restrict connections to the same origin,
you may not make connections to `example.com`. This feature detection also
works with a request to the current location.
It appears that I accidentally broke this in PR 6065, sorry about that!
The issue in this particular PDF file is that there's `/Rotate` entries on different levels of the `/Pages` tree. We're supposed to use the `/Rotate` entry in the `/Page` dict (which is `0`), but because of an incorrect condition we instead ended up with the one from the `/Pages` dict (which is `180`).
Fixes 8125.
Ideally, the `Annotation` class should not have anything to do with the
page's operator list. How annotations are added to the page's operator
list is logic that belongs in `src/core/document.js` instead where the
operator list is constructed.
Moreover, some comments have been added to clarify the intent of the
code.
Even though the PDF specification does not state that `Opt` fields are
inheritable, in practice there are PDF generators that let annotations
inherit the options from a parent.
This fixes something that I noticed while working with the code in `Catalog.getPageDict` when debugging issue 8088.
Note that while I don't have an example where this patch really matters, given that e.g. `PartialEvaluator.hasBlendModes` depends on the `objId` to avoid cyclic references this patch could potentially help for some PDF files.
As discussed on IRC, we need to check all nodes at the *bottom* of the tree to ensure that we find the correct `Page` dict.
Furthermore, this patch also gets rid of the caching present in a previous version, since it's not clear if that really helps.
Note that this patch purposely adds an `eq` test, using a reduced test-case, so that we can be sure that the algorithm actually finds the correct `Page` dict for each `pageIndex`.
Fixes 8088.
[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.
Previously, we had a function called `getDefaultAppearance`. This name,
however, is misleading as the method gets the normal appearance (in the
`N` entry) and not the default appearance (in the `DA` entry). Moreover,
it was not entirely clear how it works just from reading the code. It
primarily lacks comments and explicit error case handling.
This patch improves the situation by fixing the issues mentioned above
and making this function a proper method of the `Annotation` class, just
like e.g., `setColor` and `setBorderStyle`.
This patch basically reverts one aspect of TrueType (3, 1) cmap parsing to the state prior to PR 4259. After that PR, a number of regressions occurred in this particular code-path, which necessitated a number of follow-ups such as PRs 5703, 5743, and 6425.
The empirical data suggests, at least to me, that we should always prefer a (3, 1) cmap for TrueType fonts when they have an encoding, regardless of the Symbolic font flag.
Obviously this patch passes all unit/font/reference tests locally, and I made sure that all the PRs mentioned above landed with test-cases included.
However, in my opinion, there's still a very real possibility that this patch could potentially cause new regressions.
Given that the PDF file in bug 1337429 has been broken for almost *three* years before anyone noticed, and considering that the code-path in question has been the source of numerous regressions, I do *not* intend to request uplift of this patch to previous Firefox versions (assuming that it's even accepted).
Fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1337429.
*Please note:* The rendering of the PDF file in issue 8061 first regressed in PR 7039, and then PR 7493 exacerbated the problem even further by causing an infinite loop.
In this particular case, when errors were encountered inside of the `Lexer.getObject` method *itself*, we didn't advance the stream position. This thus caused an inifinite loop in `parseCMap`, since the exact same character was then parsed over and over again.
Fixes 8061.
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`.
Fixes extra canvas create calls.
Fixes unnecessary call of `new DOMCanvasFactory`.
Fixes undefined error of DOMCanvasFactory.
Fixes failures in some of the tests.
Fixes expected behaviour.
Remove unused vars.
The `Driver._cleanup` method is removing all stylesheets between test runs, which causes "TypeError: styleElement.parentNode is null" console errors in `FontLoader.clear`.
As can also be seen during various tests, some of the changes I made in PR 7972 unfortunately causes console errors.
It seems that I didn't test this properly, since it *should* have been obvious to me that while tests are triggered using Node.js, the files in question are run within the *browser*.
My apologies for not testing this thoroughly, and for causing unnecessary churn in the code!
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.
This property was added all the way back in PR 542, but hasn't actually been relied upon ever since PR 692.
Note that there's a `isStream()` utility function which replaced the property years ago, hence the `isStream` property is now dead code.
Other PDF viewers, e.g. Adobe Reader, seem to append `FileAttachment`s to their attachments views.
One obvious difference in PDF.js is that we cannot append all the annotations on document load, since that would require parsing *every* page. Despite that, it still seems like a good idea to add `FileAttachment`s, since it's thus possible to access all the various types of attachments from a single place.
*Note:* With the previous patch we display a notification when a `FileAttachment` is added to the sidebar, which thus makes appending the contents of these annotations to the sidebar slightly more visible/useful.
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.
Given the nature of `EOF` and `isEOF`, it seems to me that they really ought to be placed in `core/primitives.js` instead.
In general, it doesn't seem great to have to depend on the entire `core/parser.js` file for such simple primitives/helper functions.
In particular, while `core/ps_parser.js` is completely separate from `core/parser.js` with regards to its function, it still depends on the latter for just *one* primitive.
Note that compared to e.g. PR 7389, this will not reduce the number of dependencies for `core/ps_parser`, however the new dependency IMHO makes more sense.
PR 7322 added the `PdfJsNetwork.jsm` file, instead of the general `src/core/network.js` file for the Firefox addon. However, `make.js` wasn't updated to actually stop including the now obsolete network file.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/spaced-comment.
Note that the exceptions added for `line` comments are intended to still allow use of the old preprocessor without linting errors.
Also, I took the opportunity to improve the grammar slightly (w.r.t. capitalization and punctuation) for comments touched in the patch.
Further adjust the heuristics used to detect OpenType font files with CFF data, to ensure that all Type0 fonts are handled the same way regardless of font Subtype (issue 7901)
We're currently making use of `uniquePrefix`/`idCounters` in multiple files, to create unique object id's, and adding a new occurrence of them requires some care to ensure that an object id isn't accidentally reused.
Furthermore, having to pass around multiple parameters as we currently do seem like something you want to avoid.
Instead, this patch adds a factory which means that there's only *one* thing that needs to be passed around. And since it's now only necessary to call a method in order to obtain a unique object id, the details are thus abstracted away at the call-sites which avoids accidental reuse of object id's.
To test that this works as expected a very simple `Page` unit-test is added, and the existing `Annotation layer` tests are also adjusted slightly.
Using `else` after `return` is not necessary, and can often lead to unnecessarily cluttered code. By using the `no-else-return` rule in ESLint we can avoid this pattern, see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-else-return.
We're already passing in a, currently unused, `PdfManager` instance when initializing the `XRef`. To avoid having to pass a single `password` parameter around, we could thus simply get the `password` through the `PdfManager` instance instead.
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).
I recently happened to look at the code I wrote for PR 5964, which fixed [bug 1157493](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1157493), and I quickly realized that the solution is way too simplistic.
The fact that only using the `length` of a `Differences` array worked seems more like a happy accident for a particular set of font data, but could just as easily be incorrect for other PDF files.
Note that in practice, the case where the `Encoding` entry is a regular `Dict` (and not a `Ref` or `Name`) is very rare, hence I don't think that we really need to worry about having to reparse this data.
Also, the performance of this code-block is quite a bit better by updating the `hash` with the data from the *entire* `Differences` array, instead of at every loop iteration.
Changing this particular code makes me somewhat nervous about regressions, since PR 5770 necessitated the follow-up PR 6270.
However, the patch passes all tests added in those PRs (and obviously all other tests). Furthermore, I've manually checked all the issues/bugs referenced in PRs 5770 and 6270 without finding any issues.
**Please note:** This patch fixes *only* the font bug, not the SVG conversion, present on pages two and three of the PDF file in issue 7901.
Modern browsers support styling radio buttons and checkboxes with CSS.
This makes the implementation much easier, and the fallback for older
browsers is still decent.
I haven't got an example where the current code breaks, but given all the previous cases we've seen where PDF generators use indirect objects in Arrays it makes sense to fix this pro-actively.
I've modified the relevant unit-tests slightly, and they would *not* pass without the code changes in this patch.
*Note:* `Dict_getArray` only dereferences Array elements on the "top-level", to avoid recursion issues. Furthermore if you have to loop through the Array at the call-site anyway, then using `Dict_get` in combination with `XRef_fetchIfRef` is a tiny bit more efficient.
*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.
