Given that all of these primitives implement caching, to avoid unnecessarily duplicating those objects *a lot* during parsing, it would thus be good to actually enforce usage of `Cmd.get()`/`Name.get()`/`Ref.get()` in the code-base.
Luckily it turns out that there's an ESLint rule, which is fairly easy to use, that can be used to disallow arbitrary JavaScript syntax.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-restricted-syntax
This patch makes the following changes, to improve these API methods:
- Let `PDFPageProxy.cleanup` return a boolean indicating if clean-up actually happened, since ongoing rendering will block clean-up.
Besides being used in other parts of this patch, it seems that an API user may also be interested in the return value given that clean-up isn't *guaranteed* to happen.
- Let `PDFDocumentProxy.cleanup` return the promise indicating when clean-up is finished.
- Improve the JSDoc comment for `PDFDocumentProxy.cleanup` to mention that clean-up is triggered on *both* threads (without going into unnecessary specifics regarding what *exactly* said data actually is).
Add a note in the JSDoc comment about not calling this method when rendering is ongoing.
- Change `WorkerTransport.startCleanup` to throw an `Error` if it's called when rendering is ongoing, to prevent rendering from breaking.
Please note that this won't stop *worker-thread* clean-up from happening (since there's no general "something is rendering"-flag), however I'm not sure if that's really a problem; but please don't quote me on that :-)
All of the caches that's being cleared in `Catalog.cleanup`, on the worker-thread, *should* be re-filled automatically even if cleared *during* parsing/rendering, and the only thing that probably happens is that e.g. font data would have to be re-parsed.
On the main-thread, on the other hand, clearing the caches is more-or-less guaranteed to cause rendering errors, since the rendering code in `src/display/canvas.js` isn't able to re-request any image/font data that's suddenly being pulled out from under it.
- Last, but not least, add a couple of basic unit-tests for the clean-up functionality.
While it would be nice to change the `PDFFormatVersion` property, as returned through `PDFDocumentProxy.getMetadata`, to a number (rather than a string) that would unfortunately be a breaking API change.
However, it does seem like a good idea to at least *validate* the PDF header version on the worker-thread, rather than potentially returning an arbitrary string.
In the current `AnnotationLayer` implementation, Popup annotations require that the parent annotation have already been rendered (otherwise they're simply ignored).
Usually the annotations are ordered, in the `/Annots` array, in such a way that this isn't a problem, however there's obviously no guarantee that all PDF generators actually do so. Hence we simply ensure, when rendering the `AnnotationLayer`, that the Popup annotations are handled last.
- Re-factor the "incorrect encoding" check, since this can be easily achieved using the general `findNextFileMarker` helper function (with a suitable `startPos` argument).
- Tweak a condition, to make it easier to see that the end of the data has been reached.
- Add a reference test for issue 1877, since it's what prompted the "incorrect encoding" check.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/prefer-const
With the recent introduction of Prettier this sort of mass enabling of ESLint rules becomes a lot easier, since the code will be automatically reformatted as necessary to account for e.g. changed line lengths.
Note that this patch is generated automatically, by using the ESLint `--fix` argument, and will thus require some additional clean-up (which is done separately).
Fixes#11403
The PDF uses the non-embedded Type1 font Helvetica. Character codes 194 and 160 (`Â` and `NBSP`) are encoded as `.notdef`. We shouldn't show those glyphs because it seems that Acrobat Reader doesn't draw glyphs that are named `.notdef` in fonts like this.
In addition to testing `glyphName === ".notdef"`, we must test also `glyphName === ""` because the name `""` is used in `core/encodings.js` for undefined glyphs in encodings like `WinAnsiEncoding`.
The solution above hides the `Â` characters but now the replacement character (space) appears to be too wide. I found out that PDF.js ignores font's `Widths` array if the font has no `FontDescriptor` entry. That happens in #11403, so the default widths of Helvetica were used as specified in `core/metrics.js` and `.nodef` got a width of 333. The correct width is 0 as specified by the `Widths` array in the PDF. Thus we must never ignore `Widths`.
Note that this will still allow the FBF tests to run locally, and also on the bots when invoked with `test`/`browsertest` (to not lose all the FBF test-coverage), but will no longer prevent `makeref` from running successfully on the bots.
In order to eventually get rid of SystemJS and start using native `import`s instead, we'll need to provide "complete" file identifiers since otherwise there'll be MIME type errors when attempting to use `import`.
Rather than having a copy of this regular expression in the `test/unit/api_spec.js` file, with a comment about keeping it up-to-date with the code in the viewer (note the incorrect file reference as well), we can just import it instead to simplify all of this.
The original issue did not contain a (reduced) test case that we could
include and linked test cases are not ideal for unit tests, so the
original PR could only be verified manually.
I found this a bit unfortunate considering that the print data is
exposed through the API, so I thought about how we could have an
automated test and managed to create a reduced test case with the
OpenAction dictionary from the file in the original issue.
Therefore, this commit includes a unit test for parsing OpenAction
dictionaries without `Type` entries. I verified that this PDF file
behaves the same as the original one, i.e., no print dialog is shown for
older viewers and the print dialog is shown for the most recent viewer.
This patch makes the follow changes:
- Remove no longer necessary inline `// eslint-disable-...` comments.
- Fix `// eslint-disable-...` comments that Prettier moved down, thus causing new linting errors.
- Concatenate strings which now fit on just one line.
- Fix comments that are now too long.
- Finally, and most importantly, adjust comments that Prettier moved down, since the new positions often is confusing or outright wrong.
Note that Prettier, purposely, has only limited [configuration options](https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html). The configuration file is based on [the one in `mozilla central`](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/.prettierrc) with just a few additions (to avoid future breakage if the defaults ever changes).
Prettier is being used for a couple of reasons:
- To be consistent with `mozilla-central`, where Prettier is already in use across the tree.
- To ensure a *consistent* coding style everywhere, which is automatically enforced during linting (since Prettier is used as an ESLint plugin). This thus ends "all" formatting disussions once and for all, removing the need for review comments on most stylistic matters.
Many ESLint options are now redundant, and I've tried my best to remove all the now unnecessary options (but I may have missed some).
Note also that since Prettier considers the `printWidth` option as a guide, rather than a hard rule, this patch resorts to a small hack in the ESLint config to ensure that *comments* won't become too long.
*Please note:* This patch is generated automatically, by appending the `--fix` argument to the ESLint call used in the `gulp lint` task. It will thus require some additional clean-up, which will be done in a *separate* commit.
(On a more personal note, I'll readily admit that some of the changes Prettier makes are *extremely* ugly. However, in the name of consistency we'll probably have to live with that.)
There's a fair number of (primarily) `Array`s/`TypedArray`s whose formatting we don't want disturb, since in many cases that would lead to the code becoming much more difficult to read and/or break existing inline comments.
*Please note:* It may be a good idea to look through these cases individually, and possibly re-write some of the them (especially the `String` ones) to reduce the need for all of these ignore commands.
I recently noticed a couple of intermittent failures on Travis, hence this patch which changes the expectation to be identical to the 'Page Request' check in the preceding test-case.
Note that most (reasonably) modern browsers have supported this for a while now, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream#Browser_compatibility
By moving the polyfill into `src/shared/compatibility.js` we can thus get rid of the need to manually export/import `ReadableStream` and simply use it directly instead.
The only change here which *could* possibly lead to a difference in behavior is in the `isFetchSupported` function. Previously we attempted to check for the existence of a global `ReadableStream` implementation, which could now pass (assuming obviously that the preceding checks also succeeded).
However I'm not sure if that's a problem, since the previous check only confirmed the existence of a native `ReadableStream` implementation and not that it actually worked correctly. Finally it *could* just as well have been a globally registered polyfill from an application embedding the PDF.js library.
Given that the error in question is surfaced on the API-side, this patch makes the following changes:
- Updates the wording such that it'll hopefully be slightly easier for users to understand.
- Changes the plain `Error` to an `InvalidPDFException` instead, since that should work better with the existing Error handling.
- Adds a unit-test which loads an empty PDF document (and also improves a pre-existing `InvalidPDFException` message and its test-case).
In the PDF document in question, there's an ASCII85Decode inline image where the '>' part of EOD (end-of-data) marker is missing; hence the PDF document is corrupt.
For documents with a Linearization dictionary the computed `startXRef` position will be relative to the raw file, rather than the actual PDF document itself (which begins with `%PDF-`).
Hence it's necessary to subtract `stream.start` in this case, since otherwise the `XRef.readXRef` method will increment the position too far resulting in parsing errors.
The bug report seem to suggest that we don't support UTF-16 strings with a BOM (byte order mark), which we *actually* do as evident by both the code and a unit-test.
The issue at play here is rather that we previously only supported big-endian UTF-16 BOM, and the `Title` string in the PDF document is using a *little-endian* UTF-16 BOM instead.
Fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1593902
This will allow us to attempt to recover as much as possible of a page, rather than immediately failing, when a broken/unsupported ColorSpace is encountered. This patch thus extends the framework added in PRs such as e.g. 8240 and 8922, to also cover parsing of ColorSpaces.
As can be seen in `PageViewport` only multiples of 90 degrees are really supported by the code, hence the unit-test doesn't really make sense.
(Possibly this should be enforced in the API, to avoid surprises, but given that this problem has always existed I'm passing on that for now.)
Obviously this won't look exactly right, but considering that the PDF file doesn't bother embedding non-standard fonts this is the best that we can do here.
Originally only `skipPages` existed, but given that `firstPage`/`lastPage` has existed for a long time now using them whenever possible looks simpler overall.
- In the `ibwa-bad` case the sixteenth page contains corrupt/incomplete commands, but given that we're suppressing `Error`s by default now skipping hardly seems warranted any more.
- In the `geothermal.pdf` case the first page contains an unsupported ColourSpace, but again we're suppressing `Error`s by default now and skipping hardly seems warranted any more.
This patch is making me somewhat worried about future regressions, since it's certainly easy to imagine this completely breaking certain kinds of corrupt/edited PDF documents while fixing others.[1]
Obviously it passes all existing reference tests (and even improves one), however compared to many other patches there's no telling how much it could break.
The only reason that I'm even submitting this patch, is because of the number of open issues that it would address.
Generally speaking though, the best course of action would probably be if `XRef.indexObjects` was re-written to be much more robust (since it currently feels somewhat hand-wavy in parts). E.g. by actually checking/validating more of the objects before committing to them.

[1] Especially given that it's reverting part of PR 5910, however in the case of issue 5909 it seems that other (more recent) changes have actually made that PR redundant.
As part of attempting to fix a number issues containing PDF documents with corrupt XRef tables, I'd like to improve the reference test-coverage slightly *first*.
Obviously this will increase the runtime of the tests a bit, however I'd rather "waste" resources on the bots instead of developer time fixing regressions which could have been avoided.
*Please note:* I've been thinking about possible ways of addressing this issue for a while now, but all of the solutions I came up with became too complicated and thus hurt readability of the code.
However, it occured to me that we're essentially trying to add a heuristic *on top* of another heuristic, and that it shouldn't matter how efficient the code is as long as it works.
In the PDF file in the issue the Encoding contains glyphNames of the `Cdd` format, which our existing heuristics will treat as base 10 values. However, in this particular file they actually contain base 16 values, which we thus attempt to detect and fix such that text-selection works.
Having these methods fallback to returning `null` in only *one* particular case seems outright wrong, since a "falsy" value will thus be handled incorrectly.
The only reason that this hasn't caused issues in practice is that there's only one call-site passing in three keys, and in that case we're trying to read a font file where falling back to `null` isn't a problem.
