After PR 9566, which removed all of the old Firefox extension code, the `FIREFOX` build flag is no longer used for anything.
It thus seems to me that it should be removed, for a couple of reasons:
- It's simply dead code now, which only serves to add confusion when looking at the `PDFJSDev` calls.
- It used to be that `MOZCENTRAL` and `FIREFOX` was *almost* always used together. However, ever since PR 9566 there's obviously been no effort put into keeping the `FIREFOX` build flags up to date.
- In the event that a new, Webextension based, Firefox addon is created in the future you'd still need to audit all `MOZCENTRAL` (and possibly `CHROME`) build flags to see what'd make sense for the addon.
As described in the issue, having a DOM element with `id=page2` (or any other number) will automatically cause that element to become linkable through the URL hash. That's currently leading to some confusing and outright wrong behaviour, since it obviously only works for pages that have been loaded and rendered.
For PDF documents the only officially supported way to reference a particular page through the URL hash is using the `#page=2` format, which also works for all pages regardless if they're loaded or not.
As far as I can tell there's nothing in the PDF.js default viewer that actually depends on the page/thumbnail `id` at this point in time, hence why I believe that this removal ought to be safe.
Just as a pre-caution this patch adds an `aria-label` to the page canvas, similar to the thumbnail canvas/image, to at least keep this information in the DOM.
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`.
Please find additional details about the ESLint rule at https://eslint.org/docs/rules/prefer-const
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).
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.)
This functionality is very old, and pre-dates e.g. the introduction of the `EventBus` by a number of years. Rather than attaching two callback functions to every single `PDFPageView` instance, it's thus now possible to utilize the `EventBus` such that you only need a grand total of two listeners to achieve the same result.
For the `onAfterDraw` callback the replacement is particularly simple, given that a 'pagerendered' event is already being dispatched in the appropriate spot. An added benefit here is the ability to remove the event listener, since we only ever care about *one* (arbitrary) page being rendered for the `BaseViewer.onePageRendered` promise.
For the `onBeforeDraw` callback, a new 'pagerender' event was thus added to replace the callback.
Currently these methods are only used from the respective `reset` methods, and from `{BaseViewer, PDFThumbnailViewer}._cancelRendering` which only runs when the active document is closed.
This patch changes `{PDFPageView, PDFThumbnailView}.cancelRendering` to *only* cancel any pending rendering operations, and doesn't attempt to reset e.g. the `renderingState`, since that causes visual glitches (duplicated canvases in the viewer) when called directly.
Furthermore, unless you "know" what you're doing, the `{PDFPageView, PDFThumbnailView}.reset` methods are what *should* normally be used instead.
This implements the nice suggestion from https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/10099#discussion_r219698000, which I at the time didn't think would work.
I'll probably have to plead temporary insanity here, since it *should* have been totally obvious to me how this could be implemented. By simply not registering the event until the `textLayer` is actually rendered, removing the event on `cancel` works just fine.
This patch also removes the `pagecancelled` event, given that it's no longer used anywhere in the code-base and that its implemention was flawed since it wasn't guaranteed to be called in *every* situation where rendering was actually cancelled.
This piggybacks of the existing `cancel` functionality, to ensure that any pending operations are closed *and* that any temporary canvases are actually being removed.
Also simplifies `finishPaintTask` in `PDFPageView.draw` slightly, by converting it to an async function.
If, as PR 10368 suggests, more parameters should be added to `getViewport` I think that it would be a mistake to not change the signature *first* to avoid needlessly unwieldy call-sites.
To not break any existing code and third-party use-cases, this is obviously implemented with a deprecation warning *and* with a working fallback[1] for the old method signature.

[1] This is limited to `GENERIC` builds, which should be sufficient.
Rather than having two different (but connected) options for the textLayer, I think that it makes sense to try and unify this. For example: currently if `disableTextLayer === true`, then the value of `enhanceTextSelection` is simply ignored.
Since PDF.js version `2.0` already won't be backwards compatible in lots of ways, I don't think that we need to worry about migrating existing preferences here.
This removes the `PDFJS.imageResourcesPath` dependency from the viewer components and the test-suite, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
This removes the `PDFJS.maxCanvasPixels` dependency from the viewer components, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
This removes the `PDFJS.useOnlyCssZoom` dependency from the viewer components, but please note that as a *temporary* solution the default viewer still uses it.
It is only used in a few places to handle prefixing style properties if
necessary. However, we used it only for `transform`, `transformOrigin`
and `borderRadius`, which according to Can I Use are supported natively
(unprefixed) in the browsers that PDF.js 2.0 supports. Therefore, we can
remove this class, which should help performance too since this avoids
extra function calls in parts of the code that are called often.
I don't know if this is a regression, but I noticed earlier today that depending on the initial scale *and* sidebar state, the `annotationLayer` of the first rendered page may end up duplicated; please see screen-shot below.
[screen-shot]
I can reproduce this reliable with e.g. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1112.0542v1.pdf#zoom=page-width&pagemode=bookmarks.
When the document loads, rendering of the first page begins immediately. When the sidebar is then opened, that forces re-rendering which thus aborts rendering of the first page.
Note that calling `PDFPageView.draw()` will always, provided an `AnnotationLayerFactory` instance exists, call `AnnotationLayerBuilder.render()`. Hence the events described above will result in *two* such calls, where the actual annotation rendering/updating happens asynchronously.
For reasons that I don't (at all) understand, when multiple `pdfPage.getAnnotations()` promises are handled back-to-back (in `AnnotationLayerBuilder.render()`), the `this.div` property seems to not update in time for the subsequent calls.
This thus, at least in Firefox, result in double rendering of all annotations on the first page.
Obviously it'd be good to find out why it breaks, since it *really* shouldn't, but this patch at least provides a (hopefully) acceptable work-around by ignoring `getAnnotations()` calls for `AnnotationLayerBuilder` instances that we're destroying (in `PDFPageView.reset()`).
*This is an existing issue that I noticed while testing PR 8552.*
When zooming or rotation occurs, we'll try to use the current canvas as a (CSS transformed) preview until the page has been completely re-drawn.
If you manage to change the scale (or rotation) *very* quickly, it's possible that `PDFPageView.update` can be called *before* a previous `render` operation has progressed far enough to remove the `hidden` property from the canvas.
The result is thus that a page may be *entirely* black during zooming or rotation, which doesn't look very good. This effect can be a bit difficult to spot, but it does manifest even in the default viewer.
This patch adds Streams API support in getTextContent
so that we can stream data in chunks instead of fetching
whole data from worker thread to main thread. This patch
supports Streams API without changing the core functionality
of getTextContent.
Enqueue textContent directly at getTextContent in partialEvaluator.
Adds desiredSize and ready property in streamSink.
This method is currently called from `PDFViewer._scrollUpdate` on *every* scroll event in the viewer.
However, I cannot see why this code is now necessary (assuming that it once was), since text-selection and searching still works *exactly* the same way with this patch as with the current `master`.
When `PDFPageView.updatePosition` is called, the page can be in either of these states:
1. The page hasn't been rendered, in which case the `textLayer` property doesn't exist yet.
2. The page is currently rendering, meaning that the `textLayer` property exists. Given that the `textContent` won't be fetched until the page has been successfully rendered, `TextLayerBuilder.render` will return immediately and effectively be a no-op (since there's nothing to render yet).
3. The has been been rendered, and the `textLayer` is currently rendering.
4. The page, and its `textLayer`, has been completely rendered. In this case, `TextLayerBuilder.render` will return immediately and effectively be a no-op.
Here, only the *third* case seem to require any further analysis:
When scrolling occurs while the `textLayer` is rendering, `TextLayerBuilder.render` will via a helper method call `TextLayerRenderTask.cancel` (in src/display/text_layer.js) to stop processing.
However, due to the run-to-completion nature of JavaScript, once `TextLayerRenderTask._render` has been invoked `appendText` will always run.[1]
So even though we cancel rendering of pending `textLayer`s during scrolling, via the repeated `TextLayerBuilder.render` calls from within the `PDFPageView.updatePosition` method, that does *not* prevent us from running the code inside of `TextLayerRenderTask._render` over and over for the *same* page; which all seems *very* inefficient to me.[2]
All this will thus have the effect of delaying the *actual* rendering of a `textLayer` ever so slightly while scrolling in the viewer. However, it does so at the expense of potentially hundreds of unnecessary `appendText` calls.[3]
Hence it seems to me that it's less resource intensive overall to simply let rendering of the `textLayer` complete, once it has started. Obviously, we still abort all rendering of a page, and its `textLayer`, when it's being destroyed (e.g. by being evicted from the page cache).
In case that there's any worry that the patch could affect e.g. highlighting of search results, please note that the existing code in `TextLayerBuilder.render` already calls `updateMatches` when the `TextLayerTask` resolves successfully.
*I'm sorry that this became quite long, but to try and summarize:*
`PDFPageView.updatePosition` doesn't actually do anything in *most* cases. In the one case where it matters, it seems that it's actually doing more harm than good; which is why I'm proposing that we just remove it.
---
[1] Although we may be able to skip the `render` call, provided that it happens *after* a `timeout` (as is the case in the default viewer).
[2] With current work being done to support streaming of `TextContent`, we'd also need to add just as many duplicate API calls to `PDFPageView.updatePosition`.
[3] The number of duplicate `appendText` calls is directly proportional not only to the scroll speed, but also to the number of pages in the document.
Also replaces `var` with `let` in code that's touched in the patch. Please note that this should be completely safe, for two separate reasons, since trying to access let in a scope where it's not defined is first of all a runtime error and second of all an ESLint error (thanks to the `no-undef` rule).
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/object-shorthand.
For the most part, these changes are of the search-and-replace kind, and the previously enabled `no-undef` rule should complement the tests in helping ensure that no stupid errors crept into to the patch.
In various viewer files, there's a number of cases where we basically duplicate the functionality of `createPromiseCapability` manually.
As far as I can tell, a couple of these cases have existed for a very long time, and notable even before the `createPromiseCapability` utility function existed.
Also, since we can write ES6 code now, the patch also replaces a couple of `bind` usages with arrow functions in code that's touched in the patch.
Note that as discussed on IRC, this makes the viewer slightly slower to load *only* in `gulp server` mode, however the difference seem slight enough that I think it will be fine.
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.
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.
*This fixes a regression from commit c9a0955c9c, i.e. PR 7738.*
Currently if you quickly rotate a document at least *twice*,[1] such that rendering of a page hasn't finished for the first rotation before the last rotation is triggered, the `cssTransform` method can fail to update the page correctly leading to it looking temporarily distorted.
The reason why things break is that previously we stored the `viewport` on the canvas DOM element, meaning that when it was accessed in `cssTransform` is was guaranteed to point to the `viewport` of the `zoomLayer` canvas.
Generally you want to avoid storing data on DOM elements this way, and during the `PDFPageView` refactoring needed to support SVG rendering, the previous `viewport` was instead stored directly on `PDFPageView`.
However, the problem is first of all that the `paintedViewport` only stores the *last* `viewport` computed, and second of all that there're no guarantees that it actually applies to the current `zoomLayer` canvas.
If a document is rotated slowly enough that rendering finishes *before* the next rotation then this problem doesn't exist, but for sufficiently quick rotations rendering will be cancelled at least once and the `paintedViewport` could thus be bogus.
The solution for the above problems is to ensure that we track the correct `viewport` for each DOM element (canvas or svg),[2] which seemed easist to do with a `WeakMap`.[3]
---
[1] I'm able to reproduce this using the `tracemonkey` file, but please note that for pages with few operations, i.e. that render very quickly, the effect may be hard to spot.
[2] One other possible solution that I briefly considered, was to wait until rendering finished before storing the current `viewport`. However, that would have caused issues with rotating a page before the *first* rendering operation had finished.
[3] This regression took me way longer to both figure out, and fix, than I'd like to admit :-)
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.
As mentioned on IRC yesterday, we currently throw even when rendering is `cancelled`, which is annoying when the devtools are active. Furthermore, since `cancelled` isn't really an error, rejecting the `PDFPageView_draw` promise seems somewhat strange in that case.
Currently if you try to enable SVG rendering in the addons, a `TypeError` is thrown by the browser since we have code that depends on what `paintOnCanvas`/`paintOnSvg` (should) return.
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).
1. Expanding divs to improve text selection. (Yury)
2. Adding enhanceTextSelection as an option.
3. Moving feature functionality from text_layer_builder.js to text_layer.js.
4. Added expandTextDivs method to only load expanded divs on first click, and only show on subsequent clicks
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.
These have been found using `gulp lint` in combination with the `unused:
true` parameter for JSHint. Unfortunately there are too many false
positives to enable this feature, but now that most globals have been
removed because of the conversion to UMD the results are much more
useful than before.
I've seen the above error occasionally when the scale is updated many times in quick succession, but I've not been able to pinpoint exactly why it happens.
Since the error isn't caught, this means that the `pageViewDrawCallback` function doesn't run to completion.
Unfortunately, given the very intermittent nature of the issue, I haven't got any good STR for reliably reproducing this issue. However, I hope that this patch can be accepted anyway, since it's simple and should help prevent unnecessary errors.
This patch makes the naming consistent with the `TextLayerBuilder`, and also the new `AnnotationLayer`, and should thus help reduce possible confusion when working with the code.
Please note that the files were renamed using `git mv`, in order to preserve blame.
Additionally simplify the div creation logic (it needs to happen only
once, so it should not be in the for-loop) and remove/rename variables
for shorter code.
This patch goes a bit further than issue 6612 requires, and replaces all kinds of whitespace with standard spaces.
When testing this locally, it actually seemed to slightly improve two existing test-cases (`tracemonkey-text` and `taro-text`).
Fixes 6612.
Currently `getAnnotations` will *only* fetch annotations that are either `viewable` or `printable`. This is "hidden" inside the `core.js` file, meaning that API consumers might be confused as to why they are not recieving *all* the annotations present for a page.
I thus think that the API should, by default, return *all* available annotations unless specifically told otherwise. In e.g. the default viewer, we obviously only want to display annotations that are `viewable`, hence this patch adds an `intent` parameter to `getAnnotations` that makes it possible to decide if only `viewable` or `printable` annotations should be fetched.
In my opinion, this event shouldn't be dispatched in `PDFPageView.cssTransform`, since that would cause *two* events to be fired when "normal" zooming is used (once in `PDFPageView.cssTransform`, and once in `PDFPageView.draw`).
Fixes 6463.
This is a quick fix to get `scrollIntoView` working again for search results, but we really ought to re-write that function since it seems way too brittle.
Fixes 6596.
*This regressed in PR 4920.*
The main motivation for PR 4920 was to quickly get rid of old canvases when pages are evicted from the `PDFPageViewBuffer` cache. However it inadvertently broke the use-case where the `canvas` is used as a preview, on scale or rotation changes, until the re-rendering is finished.
Fixes 6467.
In PR 5552, specifically commit 9f384bbb41, the meaning of `this.annotationLayer` changed in `PDFPageView`. Previously it referred directly to a DOM element, but now it's instead an instance of `AnnotationsLayerBuilder`.
This patch tweaks things so that we won't try to hide a non-existent `annotationLayer` div in `PDFPageView_reset`, and also so that we don't attempt to insert empty (`null`) DOM elements in `PDFPageView_draw`.
