*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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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).
From the discussion in issue 7445, it seems that there may be cases where an API consumer would want to get the text content as is, without combined text items.
Currently the `isSpace` utility function is a member of `Lexer`, which seems suboptimal, given that it's placed in `core/parser.js`. In practice, this means that in a number of `core/*.js` files we thus have an *otherwise* completely unnecessary dependency on `core/parser.js` for a one-line function.
Instead, this patch moves `isSpace` into `shared/util.js` which seems more appropriate for this kind of utility function. Not to mention that since all the affected `core/*.js` files already depends on `shared/util.js`, this doesn't incur any more file dependencies.
