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.

This patch refactors the `CropBox` code to combine fetching and
validation code in a getter, like we already did for the `MediaBox`
property. Combined with variable name changes, this improves readability
of the code and makes the `view` getter simpler as well.
I've not actually, thus far, come across a PDF file that this patch fixes. However, given the string of recent patches that has fixed issues with indirect objects in arrays, I think that it makes sense to proactively avoid any issues in this code.
This patch avoids the creation of extra arrays when initializing an
array with default (zero) values. Doing this additionally makes the code
more readable by allocating enough space for the number of color
components.
For Arabic characters, the Unicode character codes are mapped to Unicode
character types using the character codes for indexing. However, the
character code 0x061D is undefined (and therefore invalid) in the
Unicode standard. The imported list does not contain this entry, but not
having it in the list breaks indexing for items after it. Therefore, put
an empty string on its position to make indexing work properly and issue
a warning in the unlikely event that we encounter this character.
*This patch fixes something that I noticed while debugging https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1308536.*
The PDF file contains a font called "NuptialScript", which unfortunately is not embedded. Since that is a non-standard font we will not be able to render it entirely correct. However, by adding "NuptialScript" to the `getNonStdFontMap`, we can at least improve the rendering slightly by using an italic (serif) fallback font.
This patch adds support for non-embedded Arial Black fonts, that use a `Arial-Black...` format for the font names.
Also, this patch changes `canvas.js` such that we always render Arial Black fonts with the maximum weight, which actually improves a number of existing test-cases. This should thus explain the test "failures", which are clear improvements compared with e.g. Adobe Reader.
Fixes 7835.
For `PartialEvaluator_getTextContent`, the same `args` Array should be re-used for every `EvaluatorPreprocessor_read` call. Hence we want to ensure that it's not accidentally replaced with `null` in `EvaluatorPreprocessor_read`, since otherwise corrupt PDF files (with too few arguments for certain commands) will cause errors in `PartialEvaluator_getTextContent`.
Perhaps a micro-optimization, but this patch also changes two `!args` comparisons to `args === null`, since that should be a tiny bit more efficient.
By only allowing very specific type of `JavaScript` actions, and also utilizing the existing `URL` validation, this patch shouldn't pose too much risk.
Fixes one of the points in issue 3897 (with the PDF file taken from issue 3438).
Fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=843699 (probably, since that bug doesn't contain a test-case).
It seems that certain bad PDF generators can create badly encoded "Prefix" entries for Page Labels, one example being http://ukjewishfilm.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Jewish-Film-Festival-Programme-ONLINE.pdf.
Unfortunately I didn't come across such a PDF file while adding the API support for Page Labels, but with them now being used in the viewer I just found this issue. With this patch, we now display the Page Labels in the same way as Adobe Reader.
The original code is difficult to read and, more importantly, performs
actions that are not described in the specification. It replaces empty
names with a backtick and an index, but this behavior is not described
in the specification. While the specification is not entirely clear
about what should happen in this case, it does specify that the `T`
field is optional and that multiple field dictionaries may have the same
fully qualified name, so to achieve this it makes the most sense to
ignore missing `T` fields during construction of the field name. This is
the most specification-compliant solution and, judging by opened issue #6623, also the required and expected behavior.
In general we neither want, nor can, support arbitrary `Launch` actions. But in practice, all the cases we've seen so far just contains relative URLs to other PDF files. Building on PR 7689, we can thus at least support basic `Launch` actions.
Note that in `FIREFOX/MOZCENTRAL/CHROME` builds of the standard viewer the `docBaseUrl` parameter will be set by default, since in that case it makes sense to use the current URL as a base.
For the `GENERIC` viewer, or the API itself, it doesn't make sense to try and set the `docBaseUrl` by default. However, custom deployments/implementations may still find the parameter useful.
Note that this will automatically reject any relative URL.
To make the API more useful to consumers, URLs that are rejected will be available via the `unsafeUrl` property in the data object returned by `PDFPageProxy_getAnnotations`.
The patch also adds a bit more validation of the data for `Named` actions.
This not only reduces code duplication, but it also allow us to easily support the same kind of URLs we currently do for Link annotations in the Outline as well.
Each well-formed SVG image has the following structure:
SVG element
- Definitions element
- Root group
- Other group 1
- ...
- Other group n
This patch factors out initialization code into a private method in such
as way that the creation of this structure is clear from the code. The
root group is the replacement for the parent group from before. We need
this group as we cannot apply the viewport transform on the SVG element
itself (this caused issues in Chrome). If other code appends groups to
the SVG image, in reality it is appending those groups to the root
group, but this detail is abstracted away by this patch.
This patch ensures that we only create transformation groups when it is
actually required and that we re-use transform groups as much as possible.
It reduces the number of transform groups for the Tracemonkey paper from
2790 to 1271, thereby making the DOM much lighter and rendering/scrolling
smoother. Moreover, it simplifies the code and prevents duplication.
Finally, we issue a warning when an unimplemented graphic state is
encountered. Before, this was ignored silently, making debugging harder.
Let `Parser_makeFilter` pass in the `DecodeParms` data to various image `Stream`s, instead of re-fetching it in various `[...]Stream.prototype.ensureBuffer` methods
In `Parser_filter` the `DecodeParms` data is fetched and passed to `Parser_makeFilter`, where we also make sure that a `Ref` is resolved to a direct object.
We can thus pass this along to the various image `Stream` constructors, to avoid the current situation where we lookup/resolve data that is already available.
Note also that we currently do *not* handle the case where `DecodeParms` is an Array entirely correct in the various image `Stream`s, and this patch fixes that for free.
While the array argument to TJ should only contain strings and numbers, other
unfortunate items are found in PDFs in the wild, e.g.:
[(Grandes) 0.0 Tc
-250.0 (Client\350les,) 0.0 Tc
-250.0 (Financements) 0.0 Tc
-250.0 (et) 0.0 Tc
-250.0 (March\351s) ] TJ
getOperatorList already properly ignores any non-string, non-numeric values in
TJ arrays; without this patch to getTextContent, returned text items can have
NaN widths due to calculations being applied to those non-numeric values.
For PDF files with multiple `/Filter`s, where the `/Length` entry is zero, we fail to render the file correctly. The reason is that `maybeLength` is `null` for the every filter except the first, and `!maybeLength` is thus truthy.
Hence it seems that we should completely ignore the `/Length` entry and also explicitly check `maybeLength === 0`.
Note that I've not (yet) come across a PDF file with this issue in the wild, but given all the stupid things PDF generators do I wouldn't be surprised if such a file actually exists. In order to prevent a possible future bug, I'm submitting this patch which includes a hand-edited PDF file that we currently cannot render correctly (but e.g. Adobe Reader can).
Directly use the hexadecimal representation, just like the
`AnnotationFlags`, to avoid calculations and to improve readability.
This allows us to simplify the unit tests for text widget annotations as
well.
When debugging issue 7643, I noticed that the `forms` tests currently doesn't look like the rendering in the viewer (with `renderInteractiveForms = true` set).
After scratching my head for a little while, I realized that PR 7633 make the implicit assumption that `Page_getOperatorList` (in `core/document.js`) is called *before* fetching the annotation with `PDFPageProxy_getAnnotations` (in `display/api.js`).
Hence this patch, that changes it so that we instead pass in the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter to `Annotation_appendToOperatorList` to ensure that it's always correctly set.
If interactive forms are enabled, then the display layer takes care of
rendering the form elements. There is no need to draw them on the canvas
as well. This also leads to issues when values are prefilled, because
the text fields are transparent, so the contents that have been rendered
onto the canvas will be visible too.
We address this issue by passing the `renderInteractiveForms` parameter
to the render task and handling it when the page is rendered (i.e., when
the canvas is rendered).
This patch improves the unit tests by testing the support for read-only
and multiline fields. Moreover, we add a reference test to ensure that
the text widgets are not only rendered, but also that their contents are
styled properly.
Finally, we perform minor improvements in `src/core/annotation.js`, for
example adding missing comments.
For embedded Type1 fonts without included `ToUnicode`/`Encoding` data, attempt to improve text selection by using the `builtInEncoding` to amend the `toUnicode` map (issue 6901, issue 7182, issue 7217, bug 917796, bug 1242142)
I intended to provide proper benchmarking results here, as outlined in https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Benchmarking-your-changes, but after wasting a couple of hours over the weekend getting weird results I gave up.
It appears that there's a lot of, i.e. way too much, variance between subsequent runs of `text` tests for the results to be meaningful.
(Previously I've only benchmarked `eq` tests, so I don't know if the `text` tests has never worked well or if it's a newer problem. For reference, please see the results of back-to-back benchmark runs on the current `master` with a *very* simple manifest file: [link here].)
Instead I used `console.time/timeEnd` in `appendText` and `expandTextDivs` to be able to compare the performance with/without the patch. The entire viewer was (skip-cache) reloaded between measurements, and the result are available here: [link here].
Given the troubles I've had with benchmarking, I've not yet computed any statistics on the results (e.g. mean, variance, confidence intervals, and so on).
However, just by looking at the data I think it's safe to say that this patch first of all doesn't seem to regress the current performance. Secondly it certainly looks *very* likely that this patch actually improves the performance, especially for the one-glyph-per-text-div case (cf. issue 7224).
Re: issue 7584.
Even though this patch passes all tests (unit/font/reference) locally, including the new ones that I added in PR 7621, I'm still a bit nervous about modifying the code that choose the fallback encoding for fonts without an `/Encoding` entry.
Note that over the years this code has been changed on a number of occasions, see a possibly incomplete [list here], to deal with various cases of incorrect font data.
According to the PDF specification, see http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#G8.1904184, it seems that we should fallback to the `StandardEncoding` for Nonsymbolic fonts.
There's obviously a risk that fixing this particular issue *could* break other PDF files for which we don't have tests. However I've tried to change the logic as little as possible in this patch, to hopefully reduce possible breakage.
Based on debugging numerous font issue, it seems that a lot of fonts actually set the Symbolic flag, even when they are in fact *not* Symbolic. Fonts actually marked as Nonsymbolic seem to be somewhat less common, which I hope should reduce the risk of the patch somewhat.
Fixes 7580.
Note that in `parseCodestream` I purposly left the `throw new Error` instances inside of the `try` block, since we don't want to throw any `Errors` while in recovery mode.
Finally somewhat unrelated to the rest of the patch, but I moved the `doNotRecover` variable declaration outside of the `try` block to avoid variable hoisting given that it's accessed inside the `catch` block.
Note that in order to prevent any possible issues, this patch does *not* try to amend the `toUnicode` data for Type1 fonts that contain either `ToUnicode` or `Encoding` entries in the font dictionary.
Fixes, or at least improves, issues/bugs such as e.g. 6658, 6901, 7182, 7217, bug 917796, bug 1242142.
Moreover, we refactor the code a bit to extract code that is shared
between the two branches and we only apply text alignment (and create
the array) when it is actually defined, since it's optional and left is
already the default.
This patch is the first step towards implementing support for
interactive forms (AcroForms). It makes it possible to render text
widget annotations exactly like Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
Everything we implement for AcroForms is disabled by default using a
preference, mainly because it is not ready to use yet, but has to
implemented in many steps to avoid complexity. The preference allows us
to work with the code while not exposing the behavior by default. Mainly
storing entered values and printing them is still absent, which would be
minimal requirements for enabling this by default.
