This regressed in PR 16659, when the signature of the `PDFViewer.annotationEditorMode`-setter was changed, and it currently leads to an Error being thrown when exiting PresentationMode.
After recent changes, adding *basic* Spread mode support in PresentationMode has now become reasonably straightforward.
However, documents with *varying* page sizes are non-trivial to handle and would require re-writing (or at least re-factoring) a bunch of the zooming-code.
Hence this PR *purposely* only allow Spread modes to be used, in PresentationMode, for documents where all pages have exactly the same size. While this obviously isn't a fully complete solution, it will however cover the vast majority of all documents and should hopefully be deemed good enough for now.
With the changes in the previous patch, we can simplify the state-tracking by using the `PresentationModeState`-values directly in the `PDFPresentationMode` class.
At this point in time, after recent rounds of clean-up, the `webkit`-prefixed Fullscreen API is the only remaining *browser-specific* compatibility hack in the `web/`-folder JavaScript code.
The standard, and thus unprefixed, Fullscreen API has been supported for *over three years* in both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. [According to MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fullscreen_API#browser_compatibility), the unprefixed Fullscreen API has been available since:
- Mozilla Firefox 64, released on 2018-12-11; see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar#Past_branch_dates
- Google Chrome 71, released on 2018-12-04; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_version_history
Hence *only* Safari now requires using a prefixed Fullscreen API, and it's thus (significantly) lagging behind other browsers in this regard.
Considering that the default viewer is written *specifically* to be the UI for the Firefox PDF Viewer, and that we ask users to not just use it as-is[1], I think that we should only support the standard Fullscreen API now.
Furthermore, note also that the FAQ already lists Safari as "Mostly" supported; see https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#faq-support

[1] Note e.g. http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/getting_started/#introduction
> The viewer is built on the display layer and is the UI for PDF viewer in Firefox and the other browser extensions within the project. It can be a good starting point for building your own viewer. *However, we do ask if you plan to embed the viewer in your own site, that it not just be an unmodified version. Please re-skin it or build upon it.*
Now that the there's ECMAScript support for properly private methods on `class`es, we can use that instead and thus remove all of the `@private` JSDocs comments.
This implements a new Page scrolling mode, essentially bringing (and extending) the functionality from `PDFSinglePageViewer` into the regular `PDFViewer`-class. Compared to `PDFSinglePageViewer`, which as its name suggests will only display one page at a time, in the `PDFViewer`-implementation this new Page scrolling mode also support spreadModes properly (somewhat similar to e.g. Adobe Reader).
Given the size and scope of these changes, I've tried to focus on implementing the basic functionality. Hence there's room for further clean-up and/or improvements, including e.g. simplifying the CSS/JS related to PresentationMode and implementing easier page-switching with the mouse-wheel/arrow-keys.
This feature was Firefox-specific, and it's now been removed from the HTML specification and it's disabled by default starting with Firefox 85. Hence it seems completely unnecessary to keep this code in the default viewer.

- For wrapped scrolling, we unfortunately need to do a fair bit of parsing of the *current* page layout. Compared to e.g. the spread-modes, where we can easily tell how the pages are laid out, with wrapped scrolling we cannot tell without actually checking. In particular documents with varying page sizes require some care, since we need to check all pages on the "row" of the current page are visible and that there aren't any "holes" present. Otherwise, in the general case, there's a risk that we'd skip over pages if we'd simply always advance to the previous/next "row" in wrapped scrolling.
- For horizontal scrolling, this patch simply maintains the current behaviour of advancing *one* page at a time. The reason for this is to prevent inconsistent behaviour for the next and previous cases, since those cannot be handled identically. For the next-case, it'd obviously be simple to advance to the first not completely visible page. However for the previous-case, we'd only be able to go back *one* page since it's not possible to (easily) determine the page layout of non-visible pages (documents with varying page sizes being a particular issue).
- For vertical scrolling, this patch maintains the current behaviour by default. When spread-modes are being used, we'll now attempt to advance to the next *spread*, rather than just the next page, whenever possible. To prevent skipping over a page, this two-page advance will only apply when both pages of the current spread are visible (to avoid breaking documents with varying page sizes) and when the second page in the current spread is fully visible *horizontally* (to handle larger zoom values).
In order to reduce the performance impact of these changes, note that the previous/next-functionality will only call `getVisibleElements` for the scroll/spread-modes where that's necessary and that "normal" vertical scrolling is thus unaffected by these changes.
To support these changes, the `getVisibleElements` helper function will now also include the `widthPercent` in addition to the existing `percent` property.
The `PDFViewer._updateHelper` method is changed slightly w.r.t. updating the `currentPageNumber` for the non-vertical/spread modes, i.e. won't affect "normal" vertical scrolling, since that helped simplify the overall calculation of the page advance.
Finally, these new `BaseViewer` methods also allow (some) simplification of previous/next-page functionality in various viewer components.
*Please note:* There's one thing that this patch does not attempt to change, namely disabling of the previous/next toolbarButtons respectively the firstPage/lastPage secondaryToolbarButtons. The reason for this is that doing so would add quite a bit of complexity in general, and if for some reason `BaseViewer._getPageAdvance` would get things wrong we could end up incorrectly disabling the buttons. Hence it seemed overall safer to *not* touch this, and accept that the buttons won't be `disabled` despite in some edge-cases no further scrolling being possible.
Given that we already have a `PresentationModeState`-enumeration, we should use that with the "presentationmodechanged" event rather than including separate properties. Note that this new behaviour, of including an enumeration-value in the event, is consistent with lots of other existing viewer-events.
To hopefully avoid issues in custom implementations of the default viewer, any attempt to access the removed properties will now throw.
This patch purposely starts small, by removing IE-specific code from various JS/CSS files in the `web/` folder.
There's obviously lots of potential for additional clean-up, especially the removal of no longer necessary polyfills in `src/shared/compatibility.js`, however that will require some care considering that certain polyfills may also be necessary for e.g. Node.js or the Chromium-extension as well.
Generally speaking, once we start removing polyfills it's probably a good idea to consult the compatibility information on https://developer.mozilla.org/ and also https://caniuse.com/ first. (Deciding on the lowest supported Chromium version, for the extension, would also seem like a good idea.)
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.
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).
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.)
The `viewer` option was *only* used for checking that a document is loaded in `PDFPresentationMode.request`, however that's just as easy to do by simply utilizing `BaseViewer.pagesCount` instead and this way we can also avoid the DOM lookup.
Note that these files were among the first to be converted to ES6 classes, so it probably makes sense to do another pass to bring them inline with the most recent ES6 conversions.
The click handler used in Presentation Mode didn't check if the first/last page was already reached, which after PR 7529 now causes an unnecessary console error.
Hence we should simply use the already existing `_goToPreviousPage`/`_goToNextPage` methods instead, since they do the necessary bounds checking.
Fixes 8498.
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.
Functionality wise, `ensureThumbnailVisible` is essentially just a shorthand for `scrollThumbnailIntoView`. (And note that `PDFViewer` doesn't implement a `ensurePageVisible` method.)
The only remaining usage of `PDFThumbnailViewer_ensureThumbnailVisible` is inside `PDFPresentationMode`, which introduces an otherwise unnecessary `PDFThumbnailViewer` dependency there.
We're already relying on the `presentationmodechanged` event, in various files, to track the state of Presentation Mode. Thus we can simply listen for that event in `PDFSidebar` too, and update the thumbnails if necessary.
This patch is the the first step towards to addressing issue 6158, which will be done by refactoring the code for setting/getting the current scale in `viewer.js`.
