In some fonts, the included `ToUnicode` data is incomplete causing text-selection to not work properly. For simple fonts that contain encoding data, we can manually build a `ToUnicode` map to attempt to improve things.
Please note that since we're currently using the `ToUnicode` data during glyph mapping, in an attempt to avoid rendering regressions, I purposely didn't want to amend to original `ToUnicode` data for this text-selection edge-case.
Instead, I opted for the current solution, which will (hopefully) give slightly better text-extraction results in PDF file with incomplete `ToUnicode` data.
According to the PDF specification, see [section 9.10.2](http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf#G8.1873172):
> A conforming reader can use these methods, in the priority given, to map a character code to a Unicode value.

Reading that paragraph literally, it doesn't seem too unreasonable to use *different* methods for different charcodes.
Fixes 8229.
In the PDF file, the `ToUnicode` data first maps the hyphen correctly, and then *overwrites* it to point to the softhyphen instead. That one cannot be rendered in browsers, and an empty space thus appear instead.
Fixes 9084.
This patch makes use of the existing `ignoreErrors` property in `src/core/evaluator.js`, see PRs 8240 and 8441, thus allowing us to attempt to recovery as much as possible of a page even when it contains broken XObjects.
Fixes 8702.
Fixes 8704.
Bug 1392647 has a PDF where the default width of the font
is 0. It draws some charcodes that don't have glyphs, but
we were wrongly using the 1000 default width for these
charcodes causing some text to be overlapping.
(for issue #6289)
This does the same for 16 bit as the existing 8 bit tiff predictor code, an addition of the last word to this word.
The last two "& 0xFF" may or may not be needed, I see this isn't done in the 8 bit code, but I'm not a JS developer.
Rather than displaying links that does *nothing* when clicked, it probably makes more sense to simply not render them instead. Especially since it turns out that, at least at this point in time, this is *very* easy to both implement and test.
Fixes 3897.
Since this patch will now treat (some) `NUL` bytes as "ASCII", the number of `followingBytes` checked are thus increased to (hopefully) reduce the risk of introducing new false positives.
Fixes 8823.
In issue #8707, there's a char code mapped to a non-
existing glyph which shouldn't be drawn. However, we
saw it was missing and tried to then use the post table and
end up mapping it incorrectly.
This illuminated a problem with issue #5704 and bug
893730 where glyphs disappeared after above fix. This was
from the cmap returning the wrong glyph id. Which in turn was
caused because the font had multiple of the same type of cmap
table and we were choosing the last one. Now, we instead
default to the first one. I'm unsure if we should instead be
merging the multiple cmaps, but using only the first one works.
The PDF file uses a non-embedded SegoeUISymbol font, which is *not* a standard font (and is mainly used by Microsoft, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segoe).
Fixes 8697.
Issue 7696 was one of the issues fixed by PR 8580. The other ones were all cases of missing glyphs, however in this particular one glyphs did render but every single one was incorrect.
Hence it probably cannot hurt to have a small, reduced, reference test for that PDF file as well.
This is a trivial follow-up to PR 5383, and it's a bit strange that this has been wrong since late 2014 without anyone noticing (maybe because inline images aren't too common).
So, apparently code works better if you actually spell correctly, who knew ;-)
Fixes 8613.
In the PDF from issue 8527, the clip operator (W) shows up before a path
is defined. The current SVG backend however expects a path to exist
before generating a `<svg:clipPath>` element.
In the example, the path was defined after the clip, followed by a
endPath operator (n).
So this commit fixes the bug by moving the path generation logic from
clip to endPath.
Our canvas backend appears to use similar logic:
`CanvasGraphics_endPath` calls `consumePath`, which in turn draws the
clip and resets the `pendingClip` state. The canvas backend calls
`consumePath` from multiple other places, so we probably need to check
whether doing so is also necessary for the SVG backend.
I scanned our corpus of PDF files in test/pdfs, and found that in every
instance (except for one), the "W" PDF operator (clip) is immediately
followed by "n" (endPath). The new test from this commit (clippath.pdf)
starts with "W", followed by a path definition and then "n".
# Commands used to find some of the clipping commands:
grep -ra '^W$' -C7 | less -S
grep -ra '^W ' -C7 | less -S
grep -ra ' W$' -C7 | less -S
test/pdfs/issue6413.pdf is the only file where "W" (a tline 55) is not
followed by "n". In fact, the "W" is the last operation of a series of
XObject painting operations, and removing it does not have any effect
on the rendered PDF (confirmed by looking at the output of PDF.js's
canvas backend, and ImageMagick's convert command).
*As mentioned the last time that I touched this particular part of the font code, I'm sincerely hope that this doesn't cause any regressions!*
However, the patch passes all tests added in PRs 5770, 6270, and 7904 (and obviously all other tests as well). Furthermore, I've manually checked all the issues/bugs referenced in those PRs without finding any issues.
Fixes 8480.
